As an aside 5.19.16 will work as well on 15.0. Dunno if using a non-LTS kernel is acceptable in Slackware stable though.

Thanks you!

time to jump ... when kernels are released only some hours back...

The real jump is go to 6.0 on -current , thats a jump , -current offers ever all kernels in same branch , no need to request that.

For -stable , THATS NOT THE THREAD.

I apologize sincerely for my mistake, my friend!

BUT there is no thread for requests for -stable and I for one I will NOT open one like this, because half of this forum will jump in to argue with me how perfect is Slackware 15.0 and how absurd is from a philosophical, ethical and practical POV to have requests for -stable.

Use this one:
[Security] Mitigation & Patch

But I've already made the request ...

There is a 2.7.0 of fvwm ? Per https://www.fvwm.org/, v2 is frozen at 2.6.9.

But I know of 3.0.4 which I use from Slackbuilds.

For the xap/libnma package can we add the following meson build option?

Code:

-Dlibnma_gtk4=true

GTK4 is already included so this can be enabled to build the libnma-gtk4 library without any other requirements. It increases the libnma package size from 284K to 326K.

Here's the detail from the meson_options.txt

Code:

option('libnma_gtk4', type: 'boolean', value: false, description: 'build library libnma-gtk4 for use with GTK4')

I'm asking because its a dependency to build newer versions gnome-control-center, which is an SBo package I maintain and would like to be able to update in future releases of Slackware.

Looking at the commits, it seems to be the upstreaming of the patches debian have been using, along with a few build/tools related changes, so not much in the way of actual development of the window manager itself. As you say, that's going on in fvwm3 (which, to my shame, I haven't gotten around to trying yet).

Also note that while release/2.7.0 branch has been created and tagged 2.7.0, they haven't as yet created a "Release" on github — the latest is still 2.6.9 in the Github Web UI — so one needs to go looking for the branch or tag directly.
