HPLIP work here recompiled with qt5, the problem is that the two lasted news version of HPLIP, need 'avahi', (not compil here without it),and avahi need 'libdaemon' i have this two personnal package of these here, and these new release of HPLIP, works.

Well until then, now we can only speculate as no action has been taken either way and nothing in the changelog to suggest he is going to drop HPLIP now.
"slackpkg check-updates" will create file ~/.slackpkg/updated-repos.txt. This file is empty if there is no update in repo or it will contain the list of repositories with updates (it works with slackpkg+ so you can have more than one repository updated).
...
[EDIT] file ~/.slackpkg/updated-repos.txt is part of slackpkg+ and not of the stock slackpkg. See this post
Thanks for that, that's useful on my laptop, although I have another system with stock slackpkg too.
So as a request then, either the slackpkg manpage contains some information on how to actually use "check-updates" in a script, or `slackpkg check-updates` exits with some meaningful return values (and maybe other slackpkg functions, related post here). Thanks
Personally I wouldn't mind at all if avahi were added. For all of the other things that have been added in recent months, it'd be a pretty minor addition. And it's been around so long it's been road-tested. Plus then we'd get stuff like better auto-discovery in CUPS for free.
