sboui is a package management tool for SlackBuilds.org (SBo). It features an
|
|
ncurses user interface that combines the user-friendliness typically found in a
|
|
GUI with the efficiency, light weight, and portability of a text interface. It
|
|
can function as a stand-alone package manager or serve as a front-end to sbopkg,
|
|
sbotools, or custom package managers. Its main features include forward and
|
|
inverse dependency resolution, blacklisting, storing build options for scripts,
|
|
a menu bar, full mouse and keyboard support, and more.
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies (see build options for more information):
|
|
|
|
python-requests (for system tray notifier)
|
|
psutil (for system tray notifier)
|
|
gksu, ktsuss (instead of kdesu to launch from the desktop)
|
|
ninja (to build with ninja instead of make)
|
|
|
|
Build options:
|
|
|
|
INSTALL_SYSTRAY_NOTIFIER=yes|no (default no): install a cronjob to sync the
|
|
local repository hourly and display a system tray notification when SBo
|
|
package updates are available. To use the system tray notifier, add
|
|
sboui-update-notifier as a startup application for your desktop environment or
|
|
window manager. If this is enabled, python-requests and psutil become
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
GRAPHICAL_SU=kdesu|gksu|ktsuss (default kdesu): change the graphical su command
|
|
for launching sboui from the .desktop file and system tray notifier. gksu or
|
|
ktsuss becomes a dependency if selected here.
|
|
|
|
TERMINAL_EMULATOR=(user choice; default xterm) set the terminal emulator to run
|
|
sboui via the .desktop file and system tray notifier.
|
|
|
|
USE_NINJA=yes|no (default no): use ninja instead of GNU Make for the build. If
|
|
enabled, ninja becomes a dependency.
