SlackBuilds.org ("SBo") repository, a collection of third-party
SlackBuild scripts to build Slackware packages. Sbopkg will allow the
user to create, synchronize, search, and browse a local copy of the
SBo repository, read the ChangeLog, list the installed SBo packages,
display potential updates to SlackBuilds.org packages, view the
README, SlackBuild, .info, and slack-desc files for each package, and
make manual edits to a copy of the original .info or SlackBuild files.
Sbopkg will also allow the user to select packages to build and it
will download the source code, check the md5sum, build a Slackware
package, and, optionally install the package. The user can also
build, and optionally install, more than one package by using the
'build queue' feature. Sbopkg will not check dependencies since that
is not a feature native to Slackware, but since the build queue will
process packages in the order listed, it sometimes may be possible to
build and install dependencies in order prior to building and
installing the final, desired package. Ultimately, Sbopkg is one
