Notifications for non-upstream SlackBuild updates?

Open drgibbon opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I used to use sbopkg, and since I've switched to sbotools, I've noticed that I'm not offered upgrades by sbocheck when a SlackBuild is updated but which doesn't constitute an upstream version upgrade. For example, the ChessX SlackBuild was tweaked recently to properly install the application icon, but as far I understand, sbotools doesn't check for this. I know that I could force an upgrade with sboupgrade -f, but it would be nice to be able to get a list of updated scripts (say with an sboupgrade flag?).

Hmm, this is not easy, and would require quite a rework of how sbotools handles package installing, but I agree that it would be useful. I'll see what can be done, but I can't promise anything; it's definitely not a top priority.

No problem, it would be a nice addition, but definitely not critical.
