In other news, the author of those ports, Luca, is the same guy cited in this article: https://fsfe.org/news/nl/nl-202103.en.html

Will there be a collaboration between projects or are there already?

It's a pleasant surprise that such a huge task has been undertaken so quietly. Congratualtions to Luca, I hope he and/or his contributions to Slackware world become part of the core in the long run!

Has anyone tested these? I have an old G5 desktop, i would like to try this on. I may have to fire it up.
