This installment of KDE SC was already added to slackware-current earlier this week, but my packages are specifically for users of the stable release, Slackware 14. As with every incremental KDE release, this [...]

LibreOffice 3.6.6 for Slackware 13.37

The LibreOffice developers released another update to the old 3.6.x series very recently, but since there is a focus on advertizing the 4.0.x version, you won’t find an announcement anywhere. LibreOffice 3.6.6 is a bugfix release which was initially not planned in the release schedule, but an additional final release was added to the plan [...]
