Alien's Slackware packages

Fri, 15 Feb 2019 22:29:11 GMT
lumina: removed from the -current repository because it will no longer run with Qt5 > 5.9 and the developer won't fix it.
Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:06:03 GMT
SDL_sound: built a Slackware-current package (this is a dependency for the OpenAL package). libxkbcommon: updated to 0.8.3 for Slackware-current. qt5: updated to 5.12.1 for slackware-current. qt5-webkit: recompiled to the new qt5 in slackware-current.

Here is KDE 5_19.02 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.55.0, Plasma 5.15.0 and Applications 18.12.2. All this on top of Qt 5.12.1. The ktown updates are targeting Slackware -current only. Updates of the KDE 5 package sets for Slackware 14.2 have come to an end. Upgrading from the previous 5_19.01 is straight-forward. Read […]

Alien's multilib packages

Sun, 17 Feb 2019 15:51:21 GMT
current/glibc-2.29_multilib-x86_64-3alien.txz: Rebuilt. current/glibc-i18n-2.29_multilib-x86_64-3alien.txz: Rebuilt. current/glibc-profile-2.29_multilib-x86_64-3alien.txz: Rebuilt. Go back to using the glibc.locale.no-archive.diff patch rather than the new built-in no-archive locale target. Avoiding hardlinks is not worth 700MB of useless bloat. current/glibc-solibs-2.29_multilib-x86_64-3alien.txz: Rebuilt.

I finished generating ISO images for Slackware Live Edition 1.3.0.2. These ISOs are all based on Slackware-current “Thu Jan 17 04:52:06 UTC 2019” which means it will boot a Linux 4.19.16 kernel. Available variants are: Slackware (unaltered complete) in 32bit and 64bit flavors, ~3.5 GB in size XFCE (minimalistic Slackware) in 32bit and 64bit flavors, […]

KDE Plasma5 – Jan ’19 release for Slackware

KDE time! Here is your monthly refresh for the best Desktop Environment you will find for Linux. I just uploaded “KDE-5_19.01” to the ‘ktown‘ repository. As always, these packages are meant to be installed on a Slackware-current which has had its KDE4 removed first. These packages will not work on Slackware 14.2. It looks like […]

liveslak-1.3.0 with speed improvements

There was no August release of a Plasma5 Live ISO as you will probably have noticed. The reason was that around the time when I released the August update of Plasma5 for Slackware, I was working on new liveslak functionality and wanted to finish that before releasing new ISOs. The testing took some more time […]

KDE 5_18.07 for Slackware, includes Plasma 5.13.3 and Qt 5.11.1

Last week, Slackware-current updated its poppler package . The ‘ktown’ repository for Plasma5 contains a custom built ‘poppler’ package, one that includes Qt5 support. That means that the ‘ktown’ version needs to be kept in sync with the Slackware version to prevent breakage in your Slackware installation. Therefore I recompiled my ‘poppler’ and at the same time, […]

New set of Live ISOs

I have uploaded a fresh set of ISOs for the Slackware Live Edition. They are all based on my ‘liveslak‘ scripts and contain the latest Slackware-current dated “Sat Jun 23 04:57:41 UTC 2018“). The available ISO variants on https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/latest/ (remember to add support for CACert to your system if you see certificate warnings!) are: Full unmodified Slackware […]
