sbo-shell - Simple tool-set for managing your SBo packages.

Not really tested, things may break, functions are expected to change

Sbo-shell provides a set of POSIX shell functions that allows administrator to manage local SBo git repository tree and SBo package installations through the shell scripting.

Usage

Point the $REPO variable in sbo-shell.sh file to your local SBo repository and then, in your POSIX shell, source the said file and run a _pull function to repull the repository and generate PKGLIST. All of the user functions begin with a _ so that they can be easily listed by tab completion. There are also "internal" functions which are supposed to be called only from other functions (but nothing is really stopping you from using them), they all begin with intern_.

To end the sbo-shell use the _end function. Important - sourcing the sbo-shell.sh file does not spawn a sub-shell, exiting the shell (e.g. with exit command) will close the whole shell, not only the sbo-shell session.

User functions

Building and Metainfo

Function	Parameters	Description
_download_sources		Downloads sources from the sourced .info file.
_info	[PKG]	Displays all variables set in the .info file. If PKG was passed and it is a valid package name then print it's .info file.
_slackbuild		Builds slackbuild as a root.
_source_info	[PKG]	Sources the .info file from current directory. If PKG was passed and it is a valid package name then source it's .info file.
_unset_info		Unsets all variables sourced from the .info files.

Searching and Movement

Function	Parameters	Description
_changelog	[PKG]	Prints the newest entry in $REPO/ChangeLog.txt either for every installed SBo package or for PKG if it is a valid SBo package name.
_dependencies	[PKG]	Prints dependencies from the sourced .info file. If PKG was passed then use it's .info file.
_find	[-n] PKG	Searches for exact-match PKG in the repository. If -n was passed, searches for non-exact match instead.
_goto	PKG	Changes current directory to the designated package's repo tree.
_repo		Changes current directory to the SBo repo tree.
_tree	[-f] [PKG]	Prints dependency tree for package which .info file is currently sourced. If PKG was passed and it is a valid package name then use it's .info file. If '-f' was passed then prints "flatten" dependency tree.
_version_cmp	[PKG]	Prints every installed SBo out-of-date package. If PKG was passed then check only it.

Miscellaneous

Function	Description
_end	Ends sbo-shell.
_help	Displays help regarding these functions.
_pull

Examples

Checking whether neovim is up-to-date

_version_cmp neovim

Checking whether every neovim dependency is up-to-date

 _tree -f neovim | while read pkg; do _version_cmp $pkg; done

or using intern_map

_tree -f neovim | intern_map _version_cmp

Dangerous - Auto-installing neovim and all of it's dependencies

_tree -f neovim | while read pkg; do
	_goto $pkg
	_source_info
	_slackbuild && {
		installpkg /tmp/$pkg*_SBo*.t?z
		rm /tmp/$pkg*_SBo*.t?z
	}
done

Don't do the above, always review SlackBuilds and dependencies before building and installing them <3.

TODO

• Test all of the functions.
• Optimize functions (less recursion, less subshells, globbing when possible).
• Minimize calling of user functions from other user functions.
  • Split _find and _goto into intern_ and user functions.
  • Rework some things.
• Support passing env variables into _slackbuild.
• Add reloading mechanism.
• Add a mechanism preventing running sbo-shell multiple times.
• Implement more functions.
  • _is_installed
  • _out_of_date
• Add better examples showing more functions.
