Dont like too the idea of mixing qt5 and qt6 for plasma.

Probably the only reasonable way to go now is start building apps and libraries with support for qt6.

As example , probably sddm can go with qt6 , but im not sure.

Ideally sddm should works qt5 or qt6, the should keep compatibility until the qt5 is hold back progress of sddm project.

It's not a problem.

Since it has a 7 in it, no need to worry about till Slackware v17.0

Time to remove python2 or will that be left for current-next-next?

There will be much rejoicing purging the python2 slackbuilds from SBo.

Maybe that will not be so easy alas, my friend. Even Arch lists 1335 packages depending on Python2 (including the optional ones and the build dependencies). Maybe most are in the AUR rather than in the core distribution but still

I agree, since it was 'sunsetted' over 4 years ago... it is way past time to get rid of python2.
https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

Anything still in the slackware distro with python2 dependencies should be rebuilt for python3

And all of the maintainers of SBo packages should do the same.

Are you volunteering to do that?

Sorry, I do not possess the required programming skills to do it.

Therefore, I shall shut-up.

Well, splitting python packages into python2-stuff, and python3-stuff would be nice.

At least the scale of the problem would be more understandable.

I don't think Slackware 15.1 can get rid of python2, but I think it could do the 2/3 package split.

Hi,

Since the addition of pam in slackware 15.0, it's possible to authentificate ldap users as unix users. However it requires to start /etc/rc.d/rc.nss-pam-ldapd which read /etc/nslcd.conf. nslcd user and group are required by default but don't exist in slackware. I think it's time to add them?
It also requires to "chown nslcd:nslcd /run/nslcd" in rc.nss-pam-ldapd.

Well, at-least that's one package from which python2 has already been eliminated.

Just wanted to point out for clarification that this is *not* a showstopper for me. If Kile is not ported to Plasma 6 then I'll continue to use the Plasma 5 version or I might switch to TeXStudio, which is another app which came from the same original author (Pascal Brachet), and thus fairly similar; and which was ported to Qt6 ages ago.
