The what should be updated in -current thread

I am playing with NFSv4 as part of this project. V4 is suitable for environment with kerberos+ldap+pam central authentication. W/o kerberos nfs4 is not that different than nfs3.

Cheers

Is it possible to add gstreamer1, gst1-plugins-{base,good} as well?

Since they can coexist with gstreamer-0.x and many packages will require it as well

Thanks before

I must have messed up with my system somehow.
Today, I've reinstalled slackware64-current and now this icon is displayed correctly.

I don't know if you're in charge of these software but those ones could also be upgraded:
n/ popa3d --> 1.0.3
tcl/ tcl/tk --> 8.6.3
xap/ xpaint --> 2.9.10.2

NetworkManager 1.0 was released, have you talked about this one already?
https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager/1.0/

gettext-0.19.4 didn't hit reach all mirrors yet but was released today

Mostly build changes since 0.19.3, dunno if that worth the upgrade (top of the Changelog attached)

It builds OK here (Slackware-14.1 not vanilla).

Yep, that's exactly what happened here.

Offtopic: xfce4-taskmanager has had an update- https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce...er/000350.html I tried gtk2 and gtk3 versions, both seem to work for me.

Yeah, that one's on my list to look at soon - thanks!

Good to know. I've already got that one in the x11/ list too :-)

I'll take a look at those, but I'm pretty sure urwid is only used by wicd in a stock Slackware installation, and off the top of my head, I can't recall any other software (e.g. at SlackBuilds.org) that requires it either, so I'm content leaving urwid at 1.0.2 indefinitely...

I think these were desirable for new KDE, so it's a possibility. The builds at SBo are pretty much ready to go with a few minor edits, so those won't be a problem if Pat decides to add them.

That actually reinforces the hypothesis I posted (re a custom icon in wicd prefs somewhere), because now those prefs are gone.

I don't know if you're in charge of these software but those ones could also be upgraded: n/ popa3d --> 1.0.3 tcl/ tcl/tk --> 8.6.3 xap/ xpaint --> 2.9.10.2

I'll check on popa3d. Last time I touched tcl/tk, everything broke - I'm leaving that one for volkerdi. Re xpaint, it requires a new Xaw3dxft library, so I'm leaving it for now. If you want that, mail volkerdi and encourage him on it; I don't use xpaint, so I'm not carrying that water :-)

Got it; thanks!

Okay, I applied the ArchLinux fix for urwid-1.3.0, so let me know if it works (sorry, breaking my workflow right now to stop NetworkManager, start wicd, etcetera is not something I want to do):

Writing to you now from the new packages, all is well. Wicd connected perfectly.

Much appreciated, sir.

Actually, there is still a way to compile xpaint without Xaw3dxft...

We have to use the old configure script (configure.old) but before launching that one, we have to get rid off the "openjpeg" compiling option in the "Local.config" file (we don't have openjpeg in Slackware) and then we launch "configure.old" with xaw3d as argument.

Here is how I proceeded:

tar xvf xpaint-2.9.10.2.tar.bz2
cd xpaint-2.9.10.2
sed -i "/#define HaveOpenJPEG/s|#define HaveOpenJPEG||" Local.config
./configure.old xaw3d
make
make install DESTDIR=...

With patched wicd-1.7.3 and urwid-1.3.0, wicd-curses seems to work here, but only partially..

wicd-curses showed up when executed, but the keyboard commands did not work, and when I pressed enter it started connecting, then crashed (it got connected as the wicd-gtk --tray icon turned green).

The crashes seem reproducible here, whenever I press enter it connects/disconnects, but crashes.

Here is the output:

$ wicd-curses
