slkbuild is a script which makes package creation much easier. It parses a meta file called a SLKBUILD and creates a conventional build-name.sh script and then optionally runs it. It is inspired by the arch build system and greatly simplifies the build process. It is available in the repositories and it is a good idea to have it installed when going through this tutorial. Note that this is not a substitute for knowing how to compile. You still need to know how to compile, you just won't need to know much more than that to package as this tool generally takes care of the mundane and obscure packaging rules.
