How long after a release until -current kicks up usually?

I know, I know Pat and crew deserve a break after a long dev cycle, but I got hooked on -current moving, so sue me

. I was just wondering how long does it usually take before current starts moving again after a release?

When they're ready. (TM)

SpelledJ took my answer.

I'm sure my memory's off but it seems like there have been times where it was very fast - days - and times where it was very slow - over a month - but it seems like it might be in the 2-4 week range. You can trawl the ChangeLogs if you really want to know from historical precedents.

That's what I did. I decided on the "When they're ready" answer.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Patrick and the entire Slackware team for their outstanding release. 13.1 is wonderful!
I am happy to wait while PV has some down time with his family. He has earned it.

Yeah, since I have been using Slackware (v12.0) these Slackware releases have been as reliable and stable as the sun rising in the east every morning.
I will gladly wait until the next Slackware is ready.
