openldap-client is already included. In my previous job I was able to use ldapsearch. And AD password can be changed with smbpasswd.

Do you have a plan to add Active Directory in Slackware 15?

You mean PAM and Kerberos?

I mean Samba + OpenLDAP

Great!

Hi, guys
Is anyone using snownews from base to read RSS feeds?
I've try to migrate to -current and it seems there is some problems with cyrillic letters in snownews. I've tried to use snow2opml utility to convert my urls file to opml but stuck with two problems:
1. Snow2opml didn't work, because there is no XML::LibXML perl module installed.
2. After I've installed XML::LibXML opml file were not correctly generated and without manual cleaning it is not possible to use it with any other rss reader

Could we move to another rss reader in base?
For now I'm using newsboat. IMHO, there is much less headache with newsboat, than with snownews. It support downloading from https sources without external utilities, user can read atom feeds without third-party script (https://archive.kiza.eu/software/snownews/snowscripts/extensions/script/atom2rss/) and newsboat perfectly works with opml files (which is really good in case, if user wants to move some other utility).

I've tested newsboat both on stable and current and it works without any problems and have only only dependency - stfl library.

stfl - http://www.clifford.at/stfl/stfl-0.24.tar.gz
newsboat - https://newsboat.org/releases/2.13/newsboat-2.13.tar.xz

libcue v2.2.1

And rebuild audacious-plugins against libcue to be able to parse CUE files

Just a head's up for Pat and anyone else looking to update software that Slackware has now been added to repology. This can be useful at looking for software that has been updated in other distros, but not in Slackware or vica versa. Personally I found this rather helpful with SBo in the past.

For example here are packages marked as outdated in Slackware current.

https://repology.org/metapackages/?i...ent&outdated=1

Slackware 14.2 - https://repology.org/repository/slackware_14_2
Slackware64 14.2 - https://repology.org/repository/slackware64_14_2
Slackware current - https://repology.org/repository/slackware_current
Slackware64 current - https://repology.org/repository/slackware64_current
Slackwarearm 14.2 - https://repology.org/repository/slackwarearm_14_2
Slackwarearm current - https://repology.org/repository/slackwarearm_current
SBo - https://repology.org/repository/slackbuilds

For reference the implementation is thanks to idlemoor and AMDmi3 (repology maintainer), see:

https://github.com/repology/repology...31930c8f7a673c
https://github.com/repology/repology/pull/273

Another thing other people can help out with is looking through the repo and using the interface at repology to report false positives or other issues.
