WOW... I did not keep count but there are a TON of new options all of which I simply chose the default.

Thats the reason i prefer wait for a "official config" , some time back i do exactly the same ... and select default options on new config things ... but now i prefer wait for official configs.

Vim 9.0.2003

ap/sc was supposed to be removed and replaced by ap/sc-im in Slackware.15.0 according to CHANGES_AND_HINTS. However, sc is still included in 15.0 and current.

PS. Small nitpick: in CHANGES_AND_HINTS for 15.0 I read that n/openssl10 has been removed. Actually there was no such package and openssl has been upgraded from 14.2 to 15.0

Actually, it was removed and then brought back. The mistake was declaring its removal in CHANGES_AND_HINTS and then not correcting it after the package was brought back.

The package existed during the -current development cycle after 14.2. My opinion is that it's better to mention such things rather than pretend they never happened.

I haven't noticed any issues with electron apps (Discord, VSCodium, poddr) that I didn't have before. I can't speak to EAC, since I don't play games with them, but so far no issues with glibc 2.38.

I think these might be nice options to have for mesa if they allow it to compile (haven't tried compiling it myself):

Code:

-Ddri3=enabled
-Dexpat=enabled
-Dgbm=enabled

I believe that all these options are properly auto-detected.

The DRI3 and GBM are what the modern graphic drivers uses, and without them, the Wayland/Plasma5 will not work at all on a barely modern graphics card. So, they are here, in my humble opinion.

Regarding EXPAT, it is used for interpreting the XML files. Like is the famous /etc/drirc and its ~/.drirc counterparts. Honestly, I have never heard the Mesa having issues with these config files, so I bet that EXPAT is properly integrated.
