And the changelog :

There's a mailing list as well that will tell you when updates are available.

...so it seems my thread is redundant...

Only for those people - this thread has now informed everyone of your packages and ways in which people can learn of them. Sounds pretty successful to me

very successful indeed

Also, i had totally forgotten of the SBo RSS feed existance. Hence my thanks above.

As almost always with OSS, there's many ways to do many things

There are no redundant questions - just redundant answers.

Indeed!

I tried openarena the other day and it works fairly well. Thanks slackbuild crew.

While we are listing ways to keep in the know about SBo packages, don't forget about the sbopkg tool!

Tried it for a bit and it was fun. Then I came across UrbanTerror at the slackbuild site. This was really good too.
