Alien's Slackware packages

Tue, 23 May 2017 19:30:40 GMT
libreoffice: updated to 5.3.3 for Slackware 14.2.
Sun, 21 May 2017 22:02:01 GMT
ffmpeg: updated to 3.3.1. Due to the expiration of Fraunhofer's MP3 patents this package can now finally encode mp3 audio. Please note that this package still can not ENcode aac audio (although it can DEcode the AAC format just fine). Look here if you need packages without these restrictions: http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/ffmpeg/

A disastrous move induced by an arrogant company, which of course leaves Linux desktop users out […]
