Hey folks, just some more updates on the road to an eventual beta. :-)

Yes, I'm a little anxious as well. Minor python upgrades are always a major effort. I'm glad this is happening over the easter holidays.

Only had to rebuild seven 3rd party packages - so far...

If it were April 1st maybe I would have put a fake 15.1 release announcement here. ;-)

Would be funnier if he did and everyone thought it was fake but he was serious! (and don't call him Shirley)

Yup, I have some work to do - brickage everywhere.

Edit: Not horrible - around 30 packages rebuilt against 3.11, including a minor fix to one slackbuild.
