Hi, Jason.
I'm glad you started to develop slapt-src. )

Here is my suggestions:
Almost all SlackBuilds that I've seen allow to set ARCH from the outside. It
will be cool if slapt-src will allow to set ARCH too. I don't have any reason
to build packages with default i486 arch. I'd like to build packages for i686
or even with '-march=native -mtune=native'. Altering build suffix will be cool
too.
For testing purpose I propose to use '-s' switch just as '--simulate|-s' to be
able to see what will happen without worrying that something unexpected will
occur. Anyway '-s' is broken at the moment:
------------------------------------
# slapt-src -s clive
slapt-src: option '-s' is ambiguous
slapt-src - A SlackBuild utility
Usage: slapt-src [action]
--update |-u - update local cache of remote slackbuilds
--list |-l - list available slackbuilds
Usage: slapt-src [action] [slackbuild(s)]
--search |-s - search available slackbuilds
--show |-w - show specified slackbuilds
--install|-i - fetch, build, and install the specified slackbuild(s)
--build |-b - only fetch and build the specified slackbuild(s)
--fetch |-f - only fetch the specified slackbuild(s)
# slapt-src --search clive
clive - 1.0.1: clive is an open source command-line utility for extracting
videos from
--------------------------------------
Some bugs:
Man page and slapt-srcrc not installed by 'make install'.
"[ --update|-u ]" mentioned twice in SYNOPSIS section of man page.
Short options broken (-s and -w) because of getopt_long_only().
Some questions:
How slapt-src handle dependencies?
Why slapt-get and slapt-src list info about packages in different formats?
With best regards,
Igor
