sboui is a package management tool for SlackBuilds.org (SBo). It features an
ncurses user interface that combines the user-friendliness typically found in a
GUI with the efficiency, light weight, and portability of a text interface. It
can function as a stand-alone package manager or serve as a front-end to sbopkg,
sbotools, or custom package managers. Its main features include forward and
inverse dependency resolution, blacklisting, storing build options for scripts,
a menu bar, full mouse and keyboard support, and more.

Optional dependencies (see build options for more information):

python-requests (for system tray notifier)
psutil (for system tray notifier)
gksu, ktsuss (instead of kdesu to launch from the desktop)
ninja (to build with ninja instead of make)

Build options:

INSTALL_SYSTRAY_NOTIFIER=yes|no (default no): install a cronjob to sync the
  local repository hourly and display a system tray notification when SBo
  package updates are available. To use the system tray notifier, add
  sboui-update-notifier as a startup application for your desktop environment or
  window manager. If this is enabled, python-requests and psutil become
  dependencies.

GRAPHICAL_SU=kdesu|gksu|ktsuss (default kdesu): change the graphical su command
  for launching sboui from the .desktop file and system tray notifier. gksu or
  ktsuss becomes a dependency if selected here.

TERMINAL_EMULATOR=(user choice; default xterm) set the terminal emulator to run
  sboui via the .desktop file and system tray notifier.

USE_NINJA=yes|no (default no): use ninja instead of GNU Make for the build. If
  enabled, ninja becomes a dependency.
