Sbopkg 0.XX.X released. This version contains the following fixes and
enhancements:
* Commit a patch that adds a new sbopkg.conf configuration variable,
QUEUEDIR, where users can define where saved queues are stored; also, when
the user wants to load a saved queue, show a list of available saved
queues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch.
* Add ability to search for keywords in the README files using regular
expressions; thanks to slakmagik for the original patch and implementation
and thanks to both slakmagik and Mauro Giachero for cleaning it up and
addressing minor issues before the commit.
* Commit a cleanup/misc patch from slakmagik that removes some useless code
and fixes some style issues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch.
* Allow user to interrupt/abort the update progressbar by pressing ESC;
thanks to Mauro Giachero for the feature.
* Assorted menu navigation fixes, and document -p switch in sbopkg(8) man
page; thanks to Mauro Giachero for these improvements.
* Add ability to view a diff of an edited .info or SlackBuild file before
choosing which one to use; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion and
thanks to Mauro Giachero for helping debug/improve my original
implemenation.
* Add ability to view more files in each application's folder, i.e.
doinst.sh, or *.desktop files; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion
and thanks to slakmagik for the patch implementing this feature.
* Rework the check for root:root permissions when installing packages; now,
it will display the output of ls -l <packagename> and ask if the user
wishes to install or abort, rather than only aborting.
* Allow the usage of the -d, -f and -v command-line options in dialog mode,
and spit an error message when the command line contains unrecognized
tokens.
* Implement a workaround so that the dialog interface now works with
rxvt-based terminals. Thanks to Phillip Warner for raising the issue and
thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on the implementation.
* Include a French translation of the two sbopkg man pages. For now, these
man pages will be included in the /doc directory until I have time to
figure out whether they can be automatically installed in place of the
English ones depending on a locale setting. In any event, I would like to
extend my thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for providing this first
translation for sbopkg. I am sure folks will appreciate the work she put
into it. If anyone else wants to follow her lead and provide some other
translations, I would be happy to include them. Thanks Marie-Claude!
