Does anybody know what about -current?
I've seen the last changelog, but It would be great if someone could let me (us) knows some news.
Thanks in advance.
Michelino

P.S.: sorry for my english

There is no news yet. As soon as Pat deems the finished toolchain ready for a wider audience, it will hit -current. Until then, there's absolutely no point in doing *anything* to -current - it's a waste of effort.

Looks as though he's taking a break at the moment - it's what happens when a distro is reliant (mostly) on one person.

Just sit tight and I would imagine that he'll be active again in the new year.

On the contrary... Pat is _very_ active at the moment, you just do not see it reflected in the ChangeLog. Just like robw810 said - he is working on the tool chain. Meaning the core of the Slackware libraries and programs is undergoing heavy change and Pat wants stability before he shoves any of that out the door.

Apologies - I meant from updating the changelog

Although, it being that time of year, I hope no one would begrudge Pat a break to spend time with family and away from our demands
