It is. The qualification period is expected to end on May 31, 2016, and it should be supported during roughly one year.

PS Andrzej was faster.

The linked image was outdated (the image is located here which is an archived page), here is the more recent one.

If you have a look to the release directory, there is a 45.1.0esr which seem to be the last 45.x esr release.

I just upgraded to 46.0 with mixed emotions, some UI-elements with GTK+3 look much bigger (settings dialog) now and take more space on the screen. Have to do some more testing. P.S. Personas does not seem to work (using the official 46.0 binary release provided by mozilla...)

Note: The packages in -current are not build from the official esr sources which can be found here and are named with esr. Not sure if the package can be named esr if not build by mozilla.

Too many use cases. If you need static library, you need to provide it yourself

radvd v2.8 (the version used for the SlackBuild script) has the check dependency. However in v2.13 (the current version) I think it is reduced to an optional dependency. I have not been able to update the SlackBuilds package as it is blocked pending Slackware 14.2 release.

Just a simple version bump? If so, I'll handle it, or if you'd like, send me a diff and I'll apply it.

Yes, just a simple version bump is fine; feel free to handle it :-).

brltty version 5.3.2 to be released next week.

http://mielke.cc/pipermail/brltty/20...il/013469.html

I will build a package for testing purposes with -current's SlackBuid and post the URL in this thread within two hours.

PS I do not endorse the proselyte part of Dave's signature.

http://slint.fr/testing/

PS Only change in brltty.SlackBuild: I of course commented out the line #63:
Code:
zcat $CWD/brltty.fix.blanks.diff.gz | patch -p1 --verbose || exit 1

OpenVPN 2.3.10 is out (and has been for a few months). It's a minor improvement on 2.3.9 in -current, although perhaps it's too late in the game and the differences too insignificant to upgrade it in time for 14.2.
