I know probably too soon , but ..

Its good idea start introducing qt6 to investigate what things can build under qt6 from slackware stock packages ?

No replace qt5 , for some time qt5 + qt6 to investigate.

testing/qt6 ?

Thanks!

IMO, it's not too soon to get qt6 into testing.

Some things (OBS, calibre, handbrake) are already building against it, too.

But qt5 etc can be adopted on slackbuilds as ever when new version replace older , like qt4 or qt3 , and packages you mentioned are not in stock slackware distribution , are 3rthd party packages.

In some case , nothing strange if stuck on qt5 , and next release stucks on qt5 + plasma5 , i remember perfectly when 14.2 released under qt4/kde4 when qt5/plasma5 are available but no switched.

In all cases , too work remaining , like upgrade python3 , remove python2 , upgrade ssl to version 3 etc etc.

Please consider to build mlt with language bindings, at least for python. This helps to build flowblade.

Hi, can we get a bump on libsoup to 3.2.x ?

mishehu · 01-27-2023, 01:52 AM

A couple possible additions I think might be useful for the next release:

1. radvd - ipv6 router advertisement daemon
2. postgresql (including building support for it into anything qt and kde related, to allow for the use of pgsql for services such as akonadi if supported)

noto-fonts-ttf can be upgraded to v202001206-phase3

Please disregard if Patrick feels this is not appropriate. But I would like to suggest the addition of CDE as a desktop environment for Slackware.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/

Right now they released their 2.5.1. version and they can be built with autotools.

Grounds: it is the standard Unix desktop environment. I would make sense to have it in Slackware, which is the most Unix-like of all linuces.

The Unix philosophy is one thing, but it should not override the Slackware philosophy
Additions in Slackware are very rare
Changelogs speak for themselves

Slackware-current, from 2022-02-02 to now

Code:

$ grep "  Added\." ChangeLog.txt | grep -E "^ap|^xap" | wc -l
0

Slackware 15.0, from 2016-06-30 to now

Code:

$ grep "  Added\." ChangeLog.txt | grep -E "^ap|^xap" | wc -l       
17

ps: I deliberately did not count the other series (a/ d/ l/ ...), since they are more or less always necessary additions.
And ap/ xap/ seem to me to be more reflective of extra user requests

glennmcc · 01-29-2023, 08:28 PM

Full agreement here.

If Patrick added everything that is in 'common use'....
we would need several terabytes of disk space just to hold the additions. ;-)

A 32 bit - 64 bit split?

Since most 32-bit and some early 64-bit can not run KDE5, do an iso with kde5 FOR 64-bit and a XFCE one for 32-bit cpu.

linuxdaddy · 01-30-2023, 01:40 PM

my pc is a Intel G-33/31 with a quad core and 8GB ram yet can not run KDE5. What a laugh since
it ran Windows 10 no problems.
