The various developers "upstream" have been busy. Maybe they want to get it all out of the way before the holidays?


As USUARIONUEVO pointed out,

alsa-lib-1.1.0, is available.

Also, in the last few days we have also seen new versions of,

gtk+ -> 3.18.3 (this maybe what gmgf posted above?)

xorg-server -> 1.18.0,

midnight commander -> 4.8.15,

seamonkey -> 2.39,

git -> 2.63,

calligra -> 2.9.9,

kdelibs -> 4.14.14 (don't know if these can be used by kde-4.14.3),

and it is still early on a Tuesday morning (local time).

And this morning we can add,

Mesa -> ll.0.5,

and

rp-pppoe -> 3.12.

lxc 1.1.5 was released 2 days ago
https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/downloads/

I have many error message with intltool-0.5.02 when i compile many software,

i have tested intltool-0.51.0, and it work fine, no error message, with this new version.

eudev has an upgrade to version 3.1.5

https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/releases/tag/v3.1.5

libgudev can now be found here:

xf86-video-ati 7.6.1

xorg-xserver is now at version 1.18.0 but it will require the latest drivers and some work-arounds for existing drivers.

xf86-video-ati-7.6.1 should work, nouveau's latest git should work, fbdev might need a rebuild against xorg-xserver-1.18.0, but the xf86-video-intel might need a small fix to get it working:

I don't know about other drivers from the DRI1 series though.

These people must really want to go home for Thanksgiving.

cmake -> 3.4.0,

and

gtk+ -> 3.18.4.

I have seen a few mentions in this thread of the newest gcc 5.2 and I can see from the gcc release dates, and the inclusion of 4.9.3 into the Slackware tree in August, that a choice has perhaps been made for 4.9.3 to be in the next Slackware release:

• GCC 5.2 released [2015-07-16]
• GCC 4.9.3 released [2015-06-26]

Would the Slackware team consider going with 5.2 considering that the next release of Slackware (after 14.2) might not be until sometime in 2017? I am not completely clear on exactly how 'bleeding edge' gcc 5.2 might be I will admit...

I have no insider information, but my outsider information indicates "not a cat in hell's chance". gcc-5 has a new ABI for C++ and it's a bloodbath.

If this is about your recent vlc-git experience, the vlc folk are ... well, did you see this thread?

Interesting times ahead then

I was aware of the tendency of vlc developers to be perhaps a little difficult and for the most part I have put this down to them being volunteers with many other demands on their plates. But I confess recent posts by developers (as well as the ongoing tearing of video display in vlc, not present in MPlayer) have led me to consider retreating to my old friend MPlayer and sidelining vlc.

I teach Yoga and lead a Yogic lifestyle and I have been taught that it is sometimes a good strategy to not be associated with negative and angry people... Let the developers of vlc beware .

Apologies for hijacking this thread a little.

Q. Assuming that it takes 1.01 day to integrate an upgraded package to Slackware-current, that one upgrade is requested every day and that the Slackware team fulfills all requests, when will Slackware-14.2 be released?
A. Never.

After two years since the last release, what difference does it make? (He said, tongue in cheek )

BTW, Is the Sun Club still in operation?

In my Opinion, mpv is the most obvious candidate to replace/update Mplayer to.
