We have 2 major bumps this week, protobuf (again) and webkit2gtk{4.1}.
While we have tried to catch all build failures using our CI engine, we might miss runtime failures.
Please help testing your scripts if it happened to use one of those two new versions.

For next week schedule, it will be 1 day ahead due to my traveling schedule,
so make sure to send PR/MR/updates early.
Gitlab CI engine is now fixed so you can start sending Merge Request again on gitlab platform.
Another note for those running -current, Pat just updated Python3 to 3.11.x and it places
the python libraries under /usr/lib for both i586 and x86_64 and this may cause some python
scripts to be broken. It's relatively easy to fix: you just need change /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}
with /usr/lib* within the script and it should work fine. You may want to recompile all python3
scripts on your machines in order to get all the python3 modules built under python 3.11.x
Sorry for the late update
we have some issues approving some scripts which were submitted for this week's public update
If you submitted any scripts via submission form and you didn't see your scripts in
/pending or /ready, it's probably being reviewed by our CI engine in github/gitlab
https://github.com/SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds/pulls
https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/slackbuilds/-/merge_requests
We have some modifications to our CI engine as well for this week.
If you send PR/MR, the CI will tell if your scripts has other scripts depending on it,
so make sure to test other scripts if your changes is considered major changes.
This prevents other scripts from breaking after your update is merged.
