0.Prerequisite

We start by learning:

• Linter|Validator is the CLI/Library that lints & validates a .SBUILD Script.

• Runner|Interpreter is the CLI/Library that runs the .SBUILD.validated Script.

• SBUILDER is the CLI/Library that merges the Linter & the Runner into one, and is what soar build uses under the hood.

This is sometimes also referred as Builder/Runner/Interpreter. Don't get too hung up on the names. As a human, you will likely only ever have to interact with the Linter|Validator ,rest is all taken care of Automatically by Soar.

• ENFORCED means the field is NOT Skippable & MUST Exist

• NON_ENFORCED means the field is Skippable & NOT Mandatory

• RECOMMENDED means, it can be skipped, but best to try to include it if possible

• NOT-RECOMMENDED means, you shouldn't use it as there's a better way, but if you want, you can

• $SBUILD_OUTDIR is a temporary directory the Interpreter uses to run the .SBUILD Script in. Also referred as $TMPDIR Sometimes.

• $SBUILD_TMPDIR is a dir inside $SBUILD_OUTDIR (PATH: $SBUILD_OUTDIR/SBUILD_TEMP) that can be used to store NON-NEEDED Files

• x_exec.pkgver refers to the raw/vanilla shell cmds that are run to get the Version of the Package

• x_exec.run refers to the raw/vanilla shell cmds that are run to download, build & fetch the Package

It is always RECOMMENDED to check your .SBUILD with yamllint & the with shellcheck
