Sbopkg will allow the user to +browse his or her local copy of the repository, read the ChangeLog, +and view the README, SlackBuild, .info, and slack-desc files for each +package. Sbopkg will also allow the user to select packages to build +and it will download the source code, check the md5sum, and build a +Slackware package. It will not check dependencies, automatically +install the package, or otherwise track what has been installed. +There are already package tools for Slackware that do those things. +Sbopkg is one thing and one thing only: a medium to easily browse a +local copy of the SlackBuilds.org repository and build packages from +it. + +Sbopkg can be also be used strictly from the command line without the +dialog interface, to rsync, read the ChangeLog, view package files, +and build packages.
