I’ve been running -current ever since the huge list of updates hit the changelog. With bash 4 out of extra, it’s only a matter of time before -current hit’s stable and everyone is on it. Because of this, it requires many of us who build sloppy SlackBuilds and/or missed things (I’m guilty of this), to go back and fix them because bash 4 says, “FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU”!!!!!
The two major things I’ve ran into with my builds and other builds are:
- Man pages. There were no man pages to copy but the line to do so was there.
- The “strip” lines not having “|| true” at the end. Read more here, http://slackbuilds.org/faq/ @ #19.
I have fixed, updated and tested the following packages all on Slackware13, Slackware64-13 and Slackware-current:
frei0r, goocanvas and pygoocanvas
These packages only needed the two above fixes. frei0r will probably not receive a version change unless a huge bug is found or something stops working etc. etc.
mlt
The MLT Framework got an update to 0.5.2 besides the above fixes. There have also been a few issues reported via email to be about the current SlackBuild on the SlackBuild.org website that have been address and are fixed. Until they are updated on that website you can get them from mine.
openshot
Openshot has been updated to version 1.1.1. There was also a missing dep, pyxdg, in the README which has been added. Same as mlt, get them from my site until SlackBuilds.org is update with what I offer.
strongswan
Version update to 4.3.6.
As for my other SlackBuilds, ahhh…. I’ll get to them later. I promise. ESP. the bacula one… good god. Been putting that off for a while.
