I have upgraded the latest slackware current with my tool pbslacks and everything seems ok.

I have corrected minor points on the tool. I better follow the recommendations for upgraded between a stable version and the current.

mlt don't compile any more with qt5.15

So I have made a little patch on the mlt Alien Bob package to make it compile again.

It's in my pbslaks tools.

And also in attachment.

For mlt and qt5.15, my patch file is for the last stable version. The current mlt version have the bug corrected.

I have used my pbslacks tool to upgrade to the latest current Slackware yesterday.

Everything seems to be ok.

I have waited the revert of tha alsa-lib-1.2.3 towards alsa-lib-1.2.2 to do so.

I have upgraded with pbslacks the latest current Slackware. It seems to work well.

The following command is useful in the SlackBuilds of some packages whic uses qt5 because qt5.15 changes some headers :
sed -i '/include <QTextStream>/a #include <QPainterPath>'files_which_dont_compile

It can be seem on some recent Slackware posts like post 17 of this thread or some others.

<QTextStream> can be replace with whatever include file is really in the file we change.

In pbslacks I have upgraded gramps (which is a software for genealogy) to the latest 5.1.2 version.

For the Graphview plugin to work, I have added the goocanvas2 package from SBo.

The bug fix release of alsa-lib (1.2.3.1) works well with pulseaudio on my latest current and my computers.

I have just upgraded to the latest current Slackware. It seems to work well.

I had a little problem with the Alien Bob last version of Audacity package (2.4.2).

I have corrected it with the following patch for the Slackbuild.

The 235 to 237 line is also curious. I think it doesn't work.

With the patch my audacity works fine. Else it links dynamically at runtime with tmp wxwidgets libs !
So it works the first time but not after a reboot.
