I think rxvt 2.7.10 needs to be rebuilt against perl 5.26.1.

1. Yes, this is what I love in Slackware.

2. adjtimex, ziptool and setserial is no part of util-linux. This is extra source archives.
3. ziptool and setserial - maybe don't need into another platform, such as arm.

4. I ask you to pay attention that I did not say a word about bsdstrings and ddate - in their separation from util-linux I really do not see any sense. :-)

5. Slackware does split packages. :-D For sample: kernel, gcc, glibc... :-D :-D :-D
5.1 ...And provides surrogates, such as: aaa_elflib, aaa_terminfo, and others... :-D :-D :-D
5.2 ...And provides two copy of one software, such as: udisks, python, libnet, gstreamer & co... :-D :-D :-D

Here is another example.

Gathering several sources for one package, or splitting a source in several packages or providing a package for each source is just a matter of convenience for the maintainer of the distribution.

This has generally zero consequence for the end user, so what is the rationale for your request? Do you have in mind a situation or use case where changing the current packaging would help?

If you're working on another fork, your time would be better spent working on it rather than telling me how I should run things here.

Yes, my fuhrer. :-D

Settle down, kid.

Did you mean Vozhd, comrade?

BTW, "führer" in German is just "guide", "driver" or "leader", as in: Bergführer (mountain guide), Fremdenführer (tourist guide), Geschäftsführer (CEO or EO), Führerschein (driver's license), Führerstand or Führerhaus (driver's cab), Lok(omotiv)führer (train driver), Reiseführer (travel guide book), or Spielführer (team captain)

So, yeah! Probably our German friends call a particular man as "Slackwareführer" - as in "Slackware leader"

Of course, there's an entirely another story about "das Führer des deutschen Reiches und Volkes", which only one person was entitled as ...

Yes, Slackwareführer - is very correct. Such as "My Slackware leader".

Years go by, and mr. Volkerdi still does not accept constructive criticism. :-\

And could just explain - why need ziptool on the arm-platform. Or setserial. For sample. :-\

Ten years ago I sent him a prototype of an international package management system. He did not even answer the letter. : -(

I do not want to do "fork" or "no-fork" of Slackware. I love Slackware, I want to improve it. : - \

Standartenführer S, Ne01eX. :-)

If you read through this thread and the changelog, you'll see he is very receptive to constructive criticism, but in your request, you missed the first part of that phrase. You made no mention how splitting that would be constructive. What's the benefit with splitting it? If you show a valid reason to do it, he would likely be a lot more receptive.

He's a busy man and you want him to write you a letter? He doesn't even respond frequently on this forum, but we know he reads the posts by checking the changelog. I'd much rather have him busy improving Slackware than writing responses to people, which is one big reason I volunteer my time on this forum to try and help out.

Forum member, Didier Spaier has made great strides in internationalizing Slackware. However, it seems that Pat is not interested in doing that right now. So Didier decided to fork his work into Slint, which made some changes from the base Slackware to make it a bit easier for international users and even for blind users.

You wouldn't expect to get a response from the Samsung CEO if you wrote him a letter (or an email, or posted on a Samsung forum)... Pat is very much the CEO of Slackware, as well as the head of R&D, Q/A, Accounting, etc. He doesn't have time to respond to everyone and still continue to develop Slackware.

What's the issue? Looking at the sources and the package, I can't see any evidence that rxvt uses perl at all.

Who still needs a terminal that can handle only legacy encoding nowadays?

That's a reasonable question. Probably rxvt-unicode is the way to go.

fwiw I've been using rxvt-unicode as my primary terminal from SBo for a few years now without much issue.

rxvt-unicode does, maybe mats_b_tegner has that and needs to recompile it? Almost every time perl is updated in current I forget to rebuild urxvt until it stops working.
