Sure, you could say that. However, KDE has a thing called kdelibs which is fully optional, and none of base packages link to it.
*cough* Try running headless servers, ie: without any X or KDE, and using GD and php, which is off the top of my head the biggest fail. I think ffmpeg was in there too somewhere with something, and half a dozen X (not kde) packages were needed for convert to work.

I don't use this, so no problem here. If I did use, and disagreed with how it's linked, then I'd recompile it locally.
Only reason why I mentioned kdelibs specifically and not /x/ or /l/, is because gnome has no such thing, its libs usually leak all over the system.
To be precise, removing kdelibs breaks nothing in (my) server space, removing gnome libs could break quite a few packages, depending on how they are linked.
Hi guys!
I have HP LaserJet MFP M234dwe but it does not work in hplip-3.20.5
How about to update hplip?
Thanks
New releases of hplip require avahi
Pat does not seem inclined to add avahi in Slackware
So, the best solution is to install avahi (e.g. from SBo) and to compile hplip by yourself
Another solution, if you don't need network support, don't install avahi and compile hplip with:

A little against the Slackware vanilla philosophy, but perhaps a script could be added into /etc/profile.d, say slackspecific.sh, that could be set executable to provide Slackware specific convenience shell functions to the user at login.
As an example, this function implements the common task of listing the installed packages and piping to grep with the usage 'lspg <string>'.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Shell function for searching installed packages
lspg() { local SEARCH=${1:-.*}; ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/* | grep -i "$SEARCH"; }
A user could then add '. /etc/profile.d/slackspecific.sh' to their ~/.bashrc to make the functions available in interactive shells.

I use a similar convenience function to quickly search slackware packages in my ~/.bashrc. I prefer it this way so I can decide what options to pass to grep still.
Mesa 22.3.0 is a new development release. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait for Mesa 22.3.1.
Mesa 22.3.0 implements the OpenGL 4.6 API, but the version reported by glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) / glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used. Some drivers don’t support all the features required in OpenGL 4.6. OpenGL 4.6 is only available if requested at context creation. Compatibility contexts may report a lower version depending on each driver.
Mesa 22.3.0 implements the Vulkan 1.3 API, but the version reported by the apiVersion property of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties struct depends on the particular driver being used.
Overview of Changes in GTK+ 3.24.35, 11-22-2022
===============================================
* GtkFontChooserWidget:
- Fix a critical
* GtkAccelLabel:
- Differentiate keypad keysyms in accelerators
* Input:
- Recognize stylus devices as pens
- Fix problems with motion compression
* Windows:
- Build system improvements
* Wayland:
- Fix problems with unreliable DND
- Use GLES if required
- Add support for titlebar gestures
- Refactor handling of IM client updates
- Fix cursor hotspots with scaled surfaces
- Use the xdg-activation protocol
- Load cursors on demand
- Fix cursor size on hi-dpi displays
It would appear Xvid patent has expired, so it's now OK to ship multimedia/xvidcore.
Not requesting or nothing, just saying. (I already have that linked with ffmpeg, locally).
Mesa 22.3.0 split the intel vulkan driver into ANV for current chipsets and HASVK for legacy (ivy bridge, haswell, broadwell generation). The current package slackbuild needs the line
-Dvulkan-drivers=amd,intel,swrast \
edited to
-Dvulkan-drivers=amd,intel,intel_hasvk,swrast \
to enable vulkan support for ivy bridge, haswell, and broadwell intel graphics.
The current version of the less file pager (as of this post, 612) has a bug that can be reproduced as follows using what's in the code blocks as an example file:
Code:
1. bar
2. bar
3. bar
1. Search in less for "ba" or "bar"
2. 'n'ext the search results until the "bar" on the third line is reached
3. Previous ('N') will go back to "bar" on the 2nd line as expected but doing so again will go back to the "bar" on the 3rd line and will continue to switch back and forth between the 2nd and 3rd "bar".
As of the date of this post, less-612 has been removed from the official page and the previous version of less that was in -current (608) is being recommended instead.
