libreoffice: updated to 4.2.3 (compiled on Slackware 14.1, works fine on -current).

I will make available the final KDE 4.12 release (4.12.5) for Slackware 14.1, in two weeks. This release includes the latest version 4.11.8 of the kde-workspace package just like was the case with the previous KDE SC 4.12. For this release […]

This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.4 for Slackware-current (it was actually compiled on Slackware 14.1 for maximum compatibility). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4. […]

I will describe a […]
