There hasn't been an update to -current for almost an hour. Is Slackware still alive? Has Pat called it a day? What's the succession plan? WE DESERVE ANSWERS.

Current and -stable will be the same right now for a short period of time.

Me neither

I've set up my slackware-14.2-32 and slackware-14.2-64 TOPDIR directories and locally copied slackware-current-{32,64} to slackware-14.2-{32,64} for Eric's rsync slackware scripts.

and I've done an an iniitial rsync.

It all looks great !

But ... I am not sure what to do yet ... I am afraid I'll miss all the excitement that is Current if I do switch over
