NAME

sbozyp - A package manager for Slackware's SlackBuilds.org

DESCRIPTION

Sbozyp is a command-line package manager for the SlackBuilds.org package repository. SlackBuilds.org is a collection of third-party SlackBuild scripts used to build Slackware packages. Sbozyp assumes an understanding of SlackBuilds and the SlackBuilds.org repository.

OVERVIEW

Usage: sbozyp [global_opts] <command> [command_opts] <command_args>

Every command has its own options, these are just the global ones:

-C                  Re-clone repository before running the command
-F FILE             Use FILE as the configuration file
-R REPO_NAME        Use repository REPO_NAME instead of REPO_PRIMARY
-S                  Sync repository before running the command

Commands are:

install|in          Install or upgrade packages
null|nu             Do nothing, useful in conjunction with -C or -S opts
query|qr            Query for information about a package
remove|rm           Remove packages
search|se           Search for a package using a Perl regex

Examples:

sbozyp --help
sbozyp --version
sbozyp install -S -R $REPO -f xclip system/password-store
sbozyp query -q password-store
sbozyp remove xclip password-store
sbozyp search system/.+
sbozyp -R $REPO -C null

CONFIGURATION

Sbozyp is configured via the /etc/sbozyp/sbozyp.conf file unless ~/.sbozyp.conf is present. An alternate configuration file can be used with the -F option.

REPOSITORY DEFINITIONS

You can define as many repositories as you wish in the configuration file. A repository definition requires these 3 variables to be set ($N is any non-negative integer):

REPO_$N_NAME
REPO_$N_GIT_URL
REPO_$N_GIT_BRANCH

Example:

REPO_7_NAME=fifteenpoint0
REPO_7_GIT_URL=git://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds.git
REPO_7_GIT_BRANCH=15.0

This defines a repository that will be downloaded with git with a command like: git clone --branch $REPO_7_GIT_BRANCH $REPO_7_GIT_URL.

You can use this repository with sbozyp by specifying its name (fifteenpoint0) with the -R option. You can also make this repository the default (used when -R is omitted) by setting REPO_PRIMARY=fifteenpoint0 in your configuration file.

OTHER CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

REPO_PRIMARY

The repo to use by default when not specifying one with the -R flag. There is no default value for this variable.

REPO_ROOT

The directory to store local copies of SBo.

Defaults to REPO_ROOT=/var/lib/sbozyp/SBo.

TMPDIR

The directory used for placing working files.

Defaults to TMPDIR=/tmp.

CLEANUP

If 0 then keep built packages after installation. If 1 then remove them.

COMMANDS

INSTALL

Usage: sbozyp <install|in> [-h] [-f] [-i] [-n] <pkgname...>

Options are:

-h|--help           Print help message

-i                  Non-interactive (DANGEROUS)

sbozyp in $(sbozyp -S qr -u | cut -d' ' -f1) ### upgrade all packages

NULL

Usage: sbozyp <null|nu> [-h]

Do nothing, useful if you just want to re-clone (with global -C option) or sync (with global -S option) your repository.

QUERY

Usage: sbozyp <query|qr> [-h] [-a] [-d] [-i] [-p] [-q] [-r] [-s] [-u] PKGNAME?

Query for package related information

If only PKGNAME and no options are provided, this command will drop you into an interactive prompt for viewing PKGNAME's files.

-i                  Print PKGNAME's info file
-p                  If PKGNAME is installed print the installed version, else exit with status 1
-q                  Print PKGNAME's dependencies (recursively and in order)
-r                  Print PKGNAME's README file
