+Things a SBo SlackBuild MUST do
+===============================
+
+- Create a valid Slackware package, of course. This includes a valid
+  install/slack-desc, a /usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION directory with
+  the package documentation (if any) and the SlackBuild.
+
+- The SlackBuild and software it installs must work on a full install of
+  the latest stable release of Slackware, with all patches applied. Do
+  not submit SlackBuilds that only work on -current, or require newer
+  libraries/etc from testing/. Binary repacks must not require a newer
+  glibc than Slackware -stable has. Currently (for Slackware 15.0),
+  this is glibc-2.33.
+
+- Install shared libraries in the correct directory. This is /usr/lib for
+  32-bit and /usr/lib64 for 64-bit.
+
+- Strip all binaries and shared libraries.
+
+- All files and directories must be owned by root:root, unless there is a
+  specific reason for them to be owned by someone else.
+
+- All directories must be mode 0755, unless there is a specific reason to
+  use some other permission.
+
+- All executables and shared libraries must be mode 0755, unless there's
+  a specific reason not to.
+
+- All non-executable files must be mode 0644, unless there's a specific
+  reason not to.
+
+- List any required dependencies from SBo in REQUIRES, in the .info file.
+  Required packages from Slackware are not listed.
