hi Erich, yes, it is a wrapper around hoorex, among other things. Tim Dickson just told me about sbopkglint and it seems like a good idea to call it. I doubt sboutils will ever become a "feature rich" set of tools, for now I want to make sure it works fine. Drawing a parallel with CRUX, sboask tries to mimic prt-get, but without its major feature -- automated package installation from ports. sboset is something like prtcreate, while sborun is similar to pkgmk. Anyway, thanks for the tips :) best, Petar _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
