That's a weird timestamp on the announcement.

H_TeXMeX_H · 05-24-2010, 04:29 PM

On the site it has 2010-05-24 .

Well, anyway good news. I'll torrent it tomorrow and seed too.

samac · 05-24-2010, 04:30 PM

So it is. I suppose PV is not infullable after all.

Thank-you Pat and crew. You helped make my day.

just started seeding. Not working, so can't buy

Since there wasn't any update since Wednesday, I've actually had a 13.1 DVD iso since about Thursday when I updated my current mirror.

I usually get the iso by bittorrent and seed it for at least 5-10 copies. This is the first release I've had a current mirror with Eric's script. Is there any way to connect my copy to the official .torrent without having to download it again? Maybe if I check the md5 to make sure it matches, then name it exactly like the official iso? I'll also have to get the 3-4 other text files that comes with it.

*edit*
Funny - I already had Eric's blog open but hadn't read past the first paragraph of his announcement. He mentions a method to do just what I was talking about.

Alphageek’s “sligdo files” are a very fast way of creating byte-exact copies of the official ISOs in case you already have a local mirror-copy of the full Slackware 13.1 tree. The ISOs you create with sligdo (http://alphageek.dyndns.org/linux/sligdo/) will pass the GPG verification test. I just hope he will have those sligdo files ready for downlooad in time. If not, I have copies here: http://alien.slackbook.org/sligdo/ .

Time to seed the torrents!

Thanks to Pat and team yet again for what's sure to be a great release.

LuckyCyborg · 05-24-2010, 04:47 PM

Okay, guys! Take a breath, start your torrents and leave/miss on-line your computers next days... We need seeders, much seeders!

Now, the only seeders are AlienBOB and one of his friends (I don't believe that The Great Pat is in Norway, now).

Hooray!

Have been holding off installing my wife's new box until 13.1 was released - and she was getting a little impatient!

Thanks to Pat, Eric, Robby, et al!

Awesome news!!! Seeding 13.1.

Many thanks to PV and the entire Slackware team! Congratulations on another outstanding stable release of Slackware!

This is the release of Slackware 13.1

My only regret is XFCE 4.6.2 has left behind.

Opinions?
