No one was saying anything about removing mplayer. I guess this all stems from this changelog entry a while back:
Code:
Sat Sep 8 20:04:10 UTC 2012 But it's no biggie. If Pat decides that KDE's deprecation of the xine backend is reason to drop xine-lib then I can continue to build it myself. |
Another suggestion is lua. It's pretty popular as an extension language and having an official package would help us building many other personal packages more easily.

But this doesn't mean that all the work should be done by PV. If some software is readily available in trusted unofficial repositories or slackbuilds.org, I have no problem grabbing it from there. This is particularly useful for applications difficult to build (VLC immediately comes to mind, thanks Eric) as I certainly prefer having our BDFL concentrate himself on stuff at the core of the distribution, like testing new glibc or udev versions, more generally ensuring proper integration of the Slackware Linux System, stability and security while staying in sync with (relevant) upstream evolutions.

a couple more...
iftop
bmon iptraf[-ng] and other useful cli tools I am overlooking that I spend time installing on just about every box. Thank goodness we've got sysstat as part of core, unlike some other distros. This would be good too, IMO, but I realize that part of the problem is related to space being at a premium, but it would still be nice to have it and add it to the welcome message from Pat in roots inbox: http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~dugan/setting-...tebook.tar.bz2 installs a pdf and html version in /usr/share/doc/rutebook And I'll go long here, with a hail Mary, just cox it's a PITA to install, but I use it all the time and find it to be an indispensable tool for sharing and working with other remote colleagues : http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...phics/shutter/ Check out it's deps, and more importantly, optional deps and their deps lol... lalalalala. |
BRadley,
iptraf and iftop are already part of Slackware. As for shutter, if you use sbopkg and its queue file option, then http://gitorious.org/sbopkg-slackwar...er/shutter.sqf will make building a package for shutter a no-brainer. Eric |

Not that KDE is particularly bad, but IMO, it lately turned from software which solves problems to software which creates problems. I turned to XFCE, but in reality, I would very much like to have Enlightenment out of the box. Yes, I know about http://slacke17.sourceforge.net/ , but you know, this project has a bus number of one. |
