Nice, thanks for that link, i think I will try a few of those games. Last time I played a text-adventure was way back on my C64.

Did you stomp your feet? Maybe I missed that.

The fix for fvwm-menu-directory is in CVS. I won't be doing *anything* else, docdir or otherwise until various FVWM-housekeeping things happen. Hopefully that won't be too soon now.

Granted, jaimos was the only one who replied at the time but you never miss the opportunity to make a snide remark about anything else I say, so I don't know how you missed this. Especially as you replied to the other issue. I guess the purely broken --docdir issue didn't give you any ammo with which to insult me, so you forgot about it.

Which is why I said "I gather one or both of those things will be fixed" but that the docdir issue needed to be worked around in Slackware now.

I don't want to get involved in a fight that I didn't start (it's no fun to insult people unless I have a personal stake in watching tears fall), but I do want say this to Thomas Adam: thanks for posting/responding/watching the forums here. It's not often that we see a lot of upstream presence here (or anywhere else, it sometimes seems), so I wanted to make sure you were aware that it's appreciated. I won't promise to always say stuff that you like, but thanks for being here to read it :-)

I wonder if the release date is actually going to be April 28th? This would be a nice contrast with a well-known Linux distro that is promising a big release on that very day .

EDIT: Umm, it turns out the link below has gone 403 since I posted it. Sorry, folks, however this really was the state of the ChangeLog at the time, and it is still accessible via Google Reader and the SlackAgg feed:

Apologies to the Team if this wasn't supposed to be visible yet, and say bye-bye to my carefully cherished LQ rep :-/

Slackware 13.37 x86 stable is released!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team,
the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing
a great forum for collaboration and testing.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions,
and feedback. :-)

Have fun!

1) Someone didn't appreciate you publicising the leaked information.
or
2) They were too dumb to spot it as leaked information and thought you were just making it up in an attemp to troll.
or
3) You were making it up and trolling and deserve the downmodding.

Guess we'll find out in about 4 and a bit hours time.


P.S. Wasn't me. I don't down-mod

Can someone wake me up when the release comes out? Curse this whole timezone thing .

For avoidance of doubt, GazL's quote is the 'reason' tag of the first edit I made to the above post; the post that you now see above is the second edit, which preceded GazL's post by a few minutes.

As I said above, "Apologies to the Team if this wasn't supposed to be visible yet", but it was visible, and I posted in good faith. Hey, it's 10am on a public holiday; what else is there to do but hammer those RSS feeds?

Did he himself spot it as leaked info?
The post read as if the release had already happened.
You don't need much to upset a Slacker who's waiting for a new release.

No, I was surmising that it was a leak based on the timestamp 13.37 UTC which hasn't happened yet.

Of course, that doesn't actually mean it's an accurate leak. The date/time could have been subject to change since that was written, so we may not find out in about 4 hours time.

I think slackware users are probably some of the most impatient users out there. Me excluded

Well, you could come on down to your local high street and await the release with the rest of us.

I think Pat might be planning at least one more update to current before release time to patch up SDL but I could be wrong.

Hehehe...


You are just damn right in front of the queue... When did you start to queue?

I am still waiting at home!!!!!
