SlackBuilds Template?
Well the correct answer for this question is I Dont Know…
In theory there is none officially SlackBuild Template!
Why?
I think that it not needed the way distro introduce it self.
Explain better
Keep in mind these:
- Slackware is not providing a package manager like other distros.
- slackpkg is a collection of bash scripts which help root to update/upgrade officially binaries and patches, but not to build from source!
- Although Slackware source and SlackBuilds are in public view, there is non official tool for building from source. Only manually way is possible.
- Every official Slackbuild has its own rulles and builds commands, because thats how PAT do the job.
So official SlackBuild Template not needed and not exist. (I disagree but thats me…)
What we have are several kind of unofficial SlackBuilds. Which will be listed here:
- SBo Templates that use SlackBuilds.org
- Aliens SlackBuild Toolkit Eric Hameleers (aka alienBOB)
- slkbuild arch-like wrapper script for easy slackware packaging
- Martin Lefebvre Different Approach To Buildscripts
- AthOS this is what i use for personal builds. Its totaly different for classic SlackBuild from first view but that not true…
- Writing_A_SlackBuild_Script How to write your own.
From above the most famous are SBo and alienBOB. Also slkbuild is used from SlaxOS,Slint and Slackel. And its more combative with slap-get package manager.
Tip
In case you really want to use a script (download,edit,build) from official SlackBuilds provided by distro, you can use the unofficial slackpkg_build script.
It works with most of official SlackBuilds as long as a package.SlackBuild exist appstream.
If a package provided from a different name SlackBuild will not work.
By default it read your /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and download from this mirror what you ask.
example:
slackpkg_build emacs
