sbo or slackbuild packages knowledge and management

With a package manager like usm, you seldom have to build your own packages from source. You get really lazy.
I have to refresh my mind about working with slackbuilds.
Slackbuilds howto for general information:
https://slackbuilds.org/howto/
An example of building a module with slackbuild:

sbo package builder and package managers
package building and management except getmod
Be welcome to comment.

hi Ed_P getmod is only for the repositories, francois talk about sbopkg that is for build the packages and you know with the iso loader is a bit impossible

In deed I do. I boot the ISO with an extramod= cheatcode pointing to a folder named Modules which is next to the ISO on my harddrive.
So repositories and packages capabilities are both available options.
I do rebuild the ISOs when upgrading the system's /porteus/base modules.

Hello Ed. I am glad that you have some interest in slackbuilds.
As beny tried to explain, sbo or slackbuilds is about
building packages from source,
not managing already built packages also called
pre-built binaries.
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slack ... g_software
Former USM developped by brokenman could fetch pre-built packages and could build packages from sources.
For example slapt-get will manage packages that are already built and slapt-src will build packages from source. sbopkg will only build packages from source and is an equivalent of slapt-src, it is not an equivalent of slapt-get or getmod which is a simple wrapper working over slapt-get.
Both packages built from source and pre-built binaries could be called with the extramod cheatcode for sure.
So your intervention in the second post is not on topic.
