This program will create Slackware SlackBuild.sh files by prompting for input and variables to fill out the SlackBuild file.
Templates exist for retrieving and building packages from tar, cvs, svn, git, and perl files.
- Dialog-based user input form
- User variables (pkg location, user suffix, make options, arch)
- Library of common functions
- Bash scripting
- Presets for configure, make, and make install blocks
- Resuable code means just call a function that's already written and tested
- SlackBuild files easily modifiable
- Consistency across all packages and source types

Original concept by Jim Simmons (formerly tg@linuxpackages.net)
The Create_Docs function is based on a concept
in the checkinstall program: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/index.php
Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran izto@asic-linux.com.mx
The various functions in makesbld.inc are inspired by the Gentoo Linux ebuild system.
