Sun, 27 Jul 2014 20:39:43 GMT
calibre: updated to 1.46.0. For the full list of Slackware 14.0/14.1/current dependencies for calibre: see the 'Fri Jan 31 21:12:42 UTC 2014' entry in this ChangeLog.txt. wine_gecko: removed the packages for Slackware 14.0 and newer, because the gecko installer is now contained in the wine package itself.

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.
