Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)

Because SCIM has been replaced by fcitx and ibus, I think it is a good time to replace Anthy.
Anthy update stopped on February 9th, 2009.
I want to suggest mozc as a replacement.

No issues here. Do you have /etc/rc.d/rc.crond set to execute? The directory is created when crond starts.

libsigc++-2.10.6

Maybe we could go directly to the v3.x series.
libsigc++-3.0.6
https://download.gnome.org/sources/l...+-3.0.6.tar.xz

Yes please. Mozc is very much preferred for Japanese input.

Added a couple more vtown deps...... and
upower. The new upower won't work with the Xfce in the main tree......
.....testing/packages/vtown/deps/upower-0.99.11-x86_64-1_vtown_1.txz: Upgraded.....

FWIW, upower-0.99.11-x86_64-4_rlw, has worked with Xfce-4.12 for was long as Mr. Workman has been making it available.

Edit in: Just for chuckles I "upgraded" from the rlw version of upower to the vtown version. Didn't make a bit of difference. Everything runs as it should.

Well, I started to believe that in Mr. Volkerding's vision, the VTown has a different meaning of KTown, being rather a place where are integrated huge sets of software...

I would not be so surprised if I will see soon a mouse in this VTown.

As I said in this topic, I'm seeing a crash in umount on every shutdown which caused my drives to get powered off in a dirty state with kernel 5.4.80. The issue is not present with kernel 5.4.79 and previous ones.

Thus I'm requesting any of the following, if possible:

1. Upgrade the kernel to a newer version which might fix the issue.
2. Momentarily downgrade the kernel to 5.4.79
3. Maybe rebuild or upgrade util-linux against the current kernel.

Thanks!!

openssl10-solibs-1.0.2u-x86_64-1

Nice prediction!

And many, many thanks to Mr. Volkerding! I waited so long to see this new mouse in Slackware-current!

Check your profile. Notifications could be off. Mine were, and I didn't receive notifications for a long time. I asked Jeremy, and he told me they were off. I checked and sre enough, I had to fix that. It happened again three days ago. I didn't change anything, but notifications were off again....
