This may become a collection of miscellaneous scripts. It's primarily a git test.

Unless otherwise noted, scripts with /bin/sh in the shebang line have been (apparently successfully) run with ash, bash, dash, ksh, posh, zsh, and the 'heirloom' shell on Slackware. Note that while many scripts may have been 'sh' scripts at one point, virtually all were most recently 'bash' scripts but are being converted (back) to shell. No promises are made with regard to GNUisms in the use of the rest of the toolkit, though.

readme2html

converts a maintainer's SlackBuild READMEs into an HTML page. This won't run properly under zsh unless zsh is invoked as 'sh' or is run as 'zsh -y'. There are also theoretical issues with the Heirloom shell and the 'export var=val' syntax that can be present in sbopkg.conf, but that shouldn't be a practical issue. This is Slackware/SBo-specific and even assumes sbopkg.

The above scripts are under the 'zlib' license. Basically: do whatever you want with it except don't claim you wrote it; if you change it, don't claim I wrote what you changed; and, if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. For the full text:
