Cinnamon
I'd like to see Cinnamon Desktop. It's probably not realistic since it would likely be a herculean feat to accomplish.
|
I don't want anything to do with GNOME3 (the DE), even if quite a few of the disaggregated applications are excellent, so I won't be spending any time on that. I can't say this for sure, since I'd be speaking for others, but I suspect the rest of the development team have similar thoughts...
|
as an alternative: you can grab my Cinnamon SlackBuild project: https://github.com/willysr/csb
please make sure to checkout the development branch if you are using current |

Maybe could this help track what could be updated?
|
I don't think, but if you want......... ;)

Updates to the installer might not happen, especially dhcpcd and dropbear. I think, if memory serves, Eric mentioned why as there were problems with the newer packages.
Orbit2 from /extras/google-chrome can probably be put out to /pasture. Gconf builds without it just fine and Orbit2 has been undeveloped for a while now. |

Localization
Please include Localization during setup with the Timezone selection.
I would like "export LANG=en_US" in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh changed to the user's preferred language. |

I've removed Super Date Format, and changing the LANG environment variable in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh changes the date format throughout Thunderbird. It would be nice if this could be changed during installation via the Setup scripts. |

Pat would you prefer folks to post requests only for stuff they *need* rather than just stuff that happens to be available, or do you find these reports helpful?
As an example, we're a few releases behind with git now: 2.6.4 vs 2.7.2, but I wouldn't say I actually *need* the the latest version. |
Git 2.7.3

2nd attempt , please update mplayer to 1.3 against ffmpeg 3.0
see this bug http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...es-4175574554/ |
More a request for 14.1 than -current, really: Firefox 45 is the new ESR version, replacing 38. It's probably time to consider upgrading, since 38esr is slated to stop receiving security updates about a month from now following the release of 38.8.0esr.

sudo with insults on
I like when using sudo on OpenBSD because the insults are turned on. So when you mistype your password you'll get a very mild insult about your intelligence. It's similar to fortune in that it's not really necessary but a bit funny.

Seeing as how AMD recently has began to pursue the xf86-video-amdgpu driver with tenacity and the proprietary driver is not supportive of xorg's latest server, getting a full inclusive driver for Mesa might a worthwhile inclusion to Slackware. By this, adding OpenCL support via LLVM's libclc project for AMD GPUs via Mesa would be a positive inclusion to Slackware. The target GPU list is AMD only, but this would give further support in the OpenGL Mesa drivers for the chipsets it targets, and there is also some support of other GPUs from Nvidia and Intel.

Mesa 11.2 would be good since it adds OpenGL 4.1 for R600g and should be released any day now. |
Hi,
While we're on the graphics topic, I repeat the request for libvdpau-va-gl. -- Best regards, Andrzej Telszewski |
