Good to know. I did a test with openssl (maybe a bad one ), since openssl was upgraded.
I downloaded the previous version 1.1.1i and built it, but tor-browser and mail still didn't work.

The "send-deliver" part of mail still works.
In my LAN, I can send a mail from the -current machine to a 14.2 machine,
and at the 14.2 machine I can read that mail.

Also from 14.2 machine if I send a mail to the -current machine, I can see that the mail was received
in /var/spool/mail/paulo.


edit- Tor-browser 10.5a8 running ok here, thanks for the info.

So I cleared some space and installed aaa_base from -current, just to check that installing to a new root works: I've never done it before. /etc/os-release still says 14.2. When is the name going to change?

Probably on the final release.

Hmmmmm...... I don't know what triggers the version number, but FWIW, the instatlation media, once booted, of last several new installations of -current I've done, have all said something to the effect of, "Welcome to Slackware 15...." and the kernel version number.

While I'm not a Slackware user; it's nice to see a new major version of it is on the way... you guys have only waited years for it...

Still coming sooner than the next CentOS release, eh?

Yep

Just glad I got off that train when I did, given what happened there

For a great many Slackware users there is no waiting at all. Unless you are referring to a simple integer.

If you're not familiar with the general feeling and reasoning behind it, the following webpage explains it adequately:

Vader has a way of never being around when ya really need him.

Thank you so much, PV!

This is kind of how I feel. After some thought, I don't really have much reason to go back to Slackware on my main machines, but I'm very pleased that something is happening re the new release.

Yeah, that's the danger of these overly long development cycles. Inertia will keep folks around for a while, but once they're gone inertia will keep them from returning.

Indeed. Additionally, in my case, Ubuntu/Debian work perfectly on my main computers, so it's really a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
