Question Installed Slackware current, shows installed Slackware 15.0+


I have installed Slackware current after 2 years again
I want to add mirrors. It says you have installed Slackware 15.0+ but selected Slackware current mirror.
Should I continue or I have to change my mirrors. Maybe something changed in Slackware.


I have downloaded Slackware current from the following mirror:
https://slackware.nl/slackware/slackware64-current-iso/

Code:
bash-5.2# cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 15.0+

Continue. (slackpkg asks that when run for the first time with a current mirror.)

You have this:
Code:
$ grep -e PRETTY_NAME -e VERSION_CODENAME /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Slackware 15.0 x86_64 (post 15.0 -current)"
VERSION_CODENAME=current
If you had the stable 15.0:
Code:
$ grep -e PRETTY_NAME -e VERSION_CODENAME /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Slackware 15.0 x86_64"
VERSION_CODENAME=stable
$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 15.0
