The Ultimate "When Will The Next Slackware Release Arrive" MegaThread
I am sure this has been asked before, is Pat going to use 2.6 when slackware11 is released??? it is still in testing in the slackware-current and it looks like slackware11 will be released soon.
Well, the Original Poster for one, he wouldn't have asked the question otherwise, would he?
Reading the changelog might give you some clues, ultimately only Pat knows, if 2.6 appears in -current as the default kernel before the release of 11 then all bets are on that 2.6 is going to be the default in 11.
Bottom line, keep an eye on the changelog for -current
but what about udev problems? As far as i know, it will need at least udev-0.71 or greater to make udev works (replacing hotplug) and in -current, the latest udev packages was still 0.64
Just curious, does anybody know when the next version of Slackware will be available(approx.)? I know that only Pat knows but maybe someone out there has an inside tip.
i compile my own kernel also. i do have production boxes that are still running the 2.4 kernel. i would like to upgrade those with a 2.6 kernel that is OFFICIALLY supported by slackware (Pat).

Alls we know is: it will be released when Pat thinks its ready
Anyone have an estimate on when the next release for Slack will be ?? ... (I've got an extra 120gig drive waiting patiently)
On a side note .. I was wondering just how many people contribute to the Slackware project ??
(I know Suse and Fedora must have hundreds of developers at any one time)

When Pat thinks it is ready. Really, there is no other answer.

Patrick Volkerding is the benevolent dictator . Though a larger group of people send in patches and suggestions. If you look at the ChangeLog, you'll see that they are often integrated.
anyway why do we need a slack 11... its not like windows with linux is it... like there is a program out there that says it needs slack 11 for it to run...
