It appears that Slackware 15.0 started with mozilla-firefox-91.5.1esr-x86_64-1.txz, thus the same for Slackware -current.
15.0 ChangeLog.txt

Code:

 Thu Feb 10 01:46:55 UTC 2022
patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-91.6.0esr-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.

-current ChangeLog.txt

Code:

Thu Feb 10 01:46:55 UTC 2022
xap/mozilla-firefox-97.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Several upgrades...
Fri Jul 7 23:06:07 UTC 2023
xap/mozilla-firefox-115.0.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Wed Jul 12 20:41:16 UTC 2023
xap/mozilla-firefox-115.0.2esr-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Currently on mozilla-firefox-121.0-x86_64-1cgs.txz. I build it using the source tree build, replacing standard firefox source tarball vice the tarball used with -current. Takes about 4 hours on this molasses machine.

In the SlackBuild I add a comment near the top, date of upgrade and add a tag to the build. I don't change the 'else' part since I don't use a localized build. If I did, simply to modify.

Code:

if [ -z $MOZLOCALIZE ]; then
  /sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $TMP/mozilla-firefox-$VERSION-$ARCH-${BUILD}cgs.txz
else
  /sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $TMP/mozilla-firefox-$VERSION-$ARCH-${BUILD}_$MOZLOCALIZE.txz
fi

I would like to see -current use the standard firefox, but I understand why the shift to ESR in preparation for the next release.

Seems this was fixed now.

rc.cpufreq: also default to "performance" for amd-pstate-epp.
Thanks to pghvlaans.

I built and installed grub-12.0 in Slint64-15.0 for the targets i386-pc, i386-efi, x86_64-efi, and x86-64-emu and that seems to work.

But for the builds to succeed I used a temporary workaround (temporary until fixed upstream): include these lines in the SlackBuild before the ./configure commands

Code:

# Temporary fix, cf. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2023-12/msg00053.html
# as I got the same error but applying this patch didn't help here.
sed -i 's;$(top_srcdir)/grub-core/extra_deps.lst ;;g' grub-core/Makefile.* || exit

Follow-up for GRUB 2.12

Fixed by the commit b835601c. I have chosen to (re)build from git master and checkout to this commit.

PS this choice makes GRUB look like 2.13

I'm sure that this is already contemplated/planned, but wouldn't it be nice if Qt6 appeared in a not-to-distant future (maybe in /testing to begin with)?
More and more applications depend on Qt6. A recent announcement from the mkvtoolnix developers:

Quote:

2023-12-10: Dropped support for Qt 5. Qt 6.2.0 or newer is now the minimum requirement for building MKVToolNix starting with v82.

I'm aware of the SBo script for Qt6, but I lack the necessary hardware stated in the README file:

Quote:

Qt6 requires 16GB of RAM to build, and a minimum of 40GB of available
disk storage.

Hi, if possible, can they be updated to the latest versions released?

urllib3 latest release: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/releases/tag/2.1.0
There are several changes after the version 1.26.8:
https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/b...in/CHANGES.rst

requests latest release: https://github.com/psf/requests/releases/tag/v2.31.0
It also has several changes after the version 2.26.0:
https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/main/HISTORY.md

I had to upgrade these packages because their upgrade is needed by a package released in Slackbuilds.org.
The upgrade seems no giving issues with the current configuration.

To build these releases I used the same slackbuilds available in slackware64-current/source:
1) the slackbuild of python-requests works as is without any changes

2) the one of python-urllib3 required a little edit since urllib3 has dropped the deprecated setup.py
I replaced the line 'python3 setup.py ...' with the following (taken from other slackbuilds):

Code:

unshare -n python3 -m build --wheel --no-isolation || exit 1
python3 -m installer --destdir "$PKG" dist/*.whl || exit 1

Thanks

kgha did you know ponce posts these precompiled packages: https://ponce.cc/slackware/qt6_and_deps/current/x86_64/
they've worked for me. I installed them as a dep to try out that opensource ai chat implementation that someone posted a slackbuild for in these forums.
removed them , but ponce's qt6 worked for me

I'd like to see some things to improve GUI such as the following.

gtk-chtheme (or things for newer GTK, but haven't seen one that still works for what this works for, like hexchat, palemoon, etc.)
liquidshell (faster KDE)
lxappearance (like gtk-chtheme but doesn't seem to do much/anything for older GTK still-used)

How much difference from the default shell with desktop effects turned off?

In particular, over narrow band (< 100kbps) and high latency (> 1s) links ... since I find the default shell fast enough when I use it to access servers about 3000km away through connections with bandwidths on the order of 100Mbps.

Couldn't try LiquidShell yet; hope it's faster like XFCE or alternative QT window managers or desktop environments.
