slackbuilds

Personal SlackBuilds, targeting the Slackware 15.0 branch.

Packages

• age/ (work in progress) — installs the official static age release tarball: age, age-keygen, age-inspect and the age-plugin-* helpers. No compiler/Go toolchain needed, x86_64 only.
• sops/ (work in progress) — installs the official static sops binary. No compiler/Go toolchain needed, x86_64 only.

Each package directory holds the standard SBo file set: $PRGNAM.SlackBuild, $PRGNAM.info, slack-desc, README.

Usage

Requires GNU make and Docker. Every target except help and clean runs inside a Slackware 15.0 container (linux/amd64, emulated on arm64 hosts) with the repo mounted on /mnt. Run make help for the full list.

Target	What it does	Image
download PKG=<name>	fetches the .info downloads into <name>/ and checks their MD5SUM	aclemons/slackware:15.0
package PKG=<name>	builds dist/<name>.tar.gz for submission, downloads excluded	aclemons/slackware:15.0
try PKG=<name> [RUN="<cmd>"]	builds, installs and runs the package (default RUN: <name> --version) in a throwaway container	aclemons/slackware:15.0
build PKG=<name>	runs the SlackBuild, writing the package to dist/	aclemons/sbo-maintainer-tools
lint PKG=<name>	sbolint on dist/<name>.tar.gz, sbopkglint on the built package	aclemons/sbo-maintainer-tools
package_all, lint_all	package / lint for every package
clean	removes dist/ and the downloaded files	host

Notes:

• The slackware image has no CA certificates, so download mounts the host's bundle; set CA_BUNDLE=<path> if it isn't found.
• build and lint use the sbo-maintainer-tools image because the slackware one has no strip; try packages unstripped binaries, so it is a smoke test only.
• Downloads stay in the package directory, where the SlackBuild reads them; make clean removes them.
• Containers run as root: on Linux hosts, dist/ and downloads end up root-owned.

Submission Guidelines (slackbuilds.org)

Before submitting/updating a build on SBo:

• Run sbolint and sbopkglint (from sbo-maintainer-tools) on the script and the built package — catches rejection-causing issues before you submit (make lint PKG=<name>).
• Build and test on a full Slackware install of the target branch, latest patches applied.
• Check the repo, pending and ready queues for duplicates first.
• Submit as a tar archive via the /submit/ form containing only $PRGNAM.SlackBuild, .info, slack-desc, README (+ patches if any) — no source code.
• For updates to an existing package, contact the current maintainer via the .info file first; if unresponsive, escalate to the mailing list. Unmaintained builds can be adopted.
