.SH NAME
.P
sboupgrade - install or upgrade slackbuilds
.SH SYNAPSES
.P
sboupgrade [-h] [-v] [-d TRUE|FALSE] [-j #|FALSE] [-c TRUE|FALSE] [-f] [-N] [-r] [-i] sbo_name (sbo_name)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
sboupgrade is used to upgrade packages installed from slackbuilds.
.SH OPTIONS
.P
-h
.RS
Show help information.
.RE
.P
-d (TRUE|FALSE)
.RS
If TRUE, then DO remove the source code after building the slackbuild. By default, the source code is not removed, and lives under $SBO_HOME/distfiles, which, by default, is /usr/sbo/distfiles; this option can be set as default via the sboconfig(1) command. See also sbotools.conf(5). This option overrides the default.
.RE
-j (#|FALSE)
.RS
If numeric (2,5,10, etc), then that number will be fed to the "-j" argument to make when a SlackBuild which invokes "make" is run. This only makes sense on multicore systems, where one might set the JOBS to the number of available cores, or half that number, etc.
.RE
.P
-c (TRUE|FALSE)
.RS
If TRUE, then DO NOT clean working directories after building the slackbuild. These are the directories where the source is unpacked and compiled, and where the package is put together in, which are under /tmp/slackbuild. By default, these directories are removed after building an slackbuild. This option leaves those directories in place. This can be set as default via the sboconfig(1) command. Also see sbotools.conf(5). This option overrides the default.
.RE
.P
-f
.RS
Force an upgrade, even if the installed version is equal to or less than the slackbuilds.org version.
.RE
.P
-N
.RS
Install any new slackbuilds specified. So, if you want to upgrade some things and install new things with the same command, then you would use the -N flag. Note that upgrades are handled prior to new installs.
.RE
.P
-r
.RS
Skip viewing of the README and the yes or no question which accompanies it. Anytime sboupgrade or sboinstall is run, the first thing the command will attempt to do is show you the README for a given slackbuild and ask whether or not you wish to proceed; this option skips the README and bypasses the question. If multiple slackbuilds are specified, this option bypasses them all.
.RE
.P
-i
.RS
Do not actually install the package created at the end of the build process. So, the SlackBuild will be run, and the package will be left in /tmp, or in $PKG_DIR if so defined (see sboconfig(1) and sbotools.conf(5)).
.RE
.P
-v
.RS
Show sbotools version information.
.RE
.SH BUGS
.P
None that I'm aware of, but I may have missed some. Please report any found to j@dawnrazor.net; patches are always welcome. In the future sbotools may exist in a public git repository and this section may change to reflect that.
