Unlike other Slackware -system administration tools with dialog-based user interfaces, sboui is written -in C++ utilizing low-level ncurses library calls. It features a two-pane listing -of software groups and names, multiple filters, searching, forward and inverse -dependency resolution, tagging multiple packages to apply batch changes, -configurable colors, and more. In addition to supporting the well-known SBo -package managers, it also includes a built-in package manager, and it is easy to -make it work with custom tools. +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. + +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. + +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. |
