Alien's unofficial KDE Slackware packages

Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:17:40 GMT
14.1/4.12.5/kde/kwalletmanager: Moved the files in /etc/kde/ to /etc/ . This fixes a bug in the SlackBuild caused by this package having been renamed from 'kwallet' in KDE 4.12. The update fixes the error "system security policy didn't allow you to save the changes" when attempting to change the kwallet configuration.
Thu, 17 Jul 2014 06:25:25 GMT
current/4.13.3/kde/kde-workspace: rebuilt to fix missing library in kwin. current/4.13.3/kde/plasma-nm: increased the BUILD number from "1alien" to "2alien" because it was built against a newer libmn-qt which had an ABI change.
