As shows the Firefox Releases Calendar Firefox 60.9esr and 68.1esr correspond to Firefox 69, so the esr versions got the security fixes and selected bug fixes provided in 69.

This seems to be a general rule, cf. this post. As long as Pat ships esr versions, non-esr upgrades are not in the agenda, if I understand well.

Thanks for considering it

Is it possible to rebuild the SeaMonkey package with like in the official builds? This bundles the Lightning calendar add-on. The version of Lightning available on addons.mozilla.org doesn't work with the latest SeaMonkey 2.49.5 Slackware packages. This affects the 14.2 packages as well.

To clarify: Seamonkey built without --enable-calendar, is no longer compatible with Lightning, and probably never will be. Information is from Frank-Rainer Grahl, who (I believe) is a Seamonkey project developer.

Michael P. Gorse just released v2.34.0 of at-spi2-core/at-spi2-atk/pyatspi and Joanmarie Diggs v3.34.0 of Orca and atk v2.34 has also been released today. Maybe add Orca to Slackware? If so, add also speech-dispatcher and at least one TTS engine plus associated voices, like espeak-ng.

PS I just checked, atk is still versioned 2.33.3 in the tarball (in meson.build) and in atk.pc in the resulting package. I will wait a bit before upgrading in Slint. I have emailed about that, cf.: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca.../msg00063.html

First and foremost: THANK YOU very much for all the work everyone does to keep Slackware alive and up to date!!!

I have a questions.

I have been using the 14.2 -current for a while and have conquered many obstacles Slackware presents.

You update it quite regularly (YAY!), one thing that bugs me is the deleting of each individual file and then their directories. Wouldn't "rm -rf /path/to/the/base/directory" work much faster?

I know that deleting each file and folder is part of a log, but that could be produced quicker with “ls /path/to/the/base/directory > deletelog.log”

I am giving basic concepts, I’m sure there a better and faster ways of doing things, I’m just hoping for the possible of speed up the delete process.

Also, I use a variety of nand / flash based devices (SSD, CF & USB) and the deleting of each files and directory every time I update Slackware causes me to cringe… as we know deleting causes the most wear on flash technology. Slackware does not seem to SSD friendly.

Wear & tear are my real concerns, speeding up the process would be nice…

Thanks Again,
Rufeo
