Pat requires time for his family and that has impacted the speed of development in Slackware. In the meantime, you can keep yourself busy with my KDE…

That is really Pat Volkerding's call. And while he is "busy with life", I will keep updating my stuff at least. Eric Hi Makkuro

I am afraid I can not give you any news on Slackware’s ongoing development. That is really Pat Volkerding’s call.
And while he is “busy with life”, I will keep updating my stuff at least.

Basically, if you install my KDE 4.7.x package set (follow the instructions in the README closely) you will have this new Quanta Plus in KDE's "Applications > Development" menu. Whether it is functional enough for you, I can not say. It is an alpha release, but the base on which it is built (kdevelop) is mature. The article in which I announce my KDE 4.7.3 package set is here: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/kde-updated-to-4-7-3/ and it has links to download mirrors as well as the instructional README. Good luck, let me know how it worked out. If you should have any issues with the KDE upgrade, please discuss them in the aforementioned KDE blog post so that we can set you straight. Eric Hi John

I understand that my question may be left without an answer, yet still I just don't know whom else I could ask (( It's been a while since we've last seen some major updates in slackware-current branch. I mean such updates as new kernels, your kde packages and others. I remember you mentioning that Patrick has some personal business to take care about but time passes and we still don't see any serious changes in -current tree. I understand that sometimes we all have personal matters to take care of and it would be wrong to push with it with questions like "Why?" and "When?", yet maybe you can say just a few words so we could know if we should expect any major updates shortly?
