The what should be updated in -current thread

fluxbox 1.3.7 is out

I will see if I can update the 1st post with all the things in this thread, and also list what rworkman has scheduled (please note that packages scheduled by rworkman does not mean it will be updated by PV)
rworkman only makes it easy available for PV to grab if he wants to use it.

Thanks Bart. Kinda amazing everyone pulled this together as fast and as well as we did.

Don't forget about pprkut. :-)

I'd like to vote for d/ruby. We should have something newer than 1.9.3 as the system Ruby. Lots of projects are starting to need 2.1.x features. I just built 2.2.0p0 (Christmas release) using Pats existing Slackbuild with no changes (well except the version variable). Works fine.

I can state the same being true regarding a clean build and functional Ruby environment for 2.1.x line as well again with the existing build if Pat isn't keen on using a p0 release.

Linux man-pages 3.80 was released today.

Current is at 3.69

Michael and the contributors have been working hard to improve
the system api docs. I have been working on some of the date-time
issues, mostly in tzset(3). There is still more to do, but it's
significantly improved.

I've also been working on similar changes for the glibc manual,
which is, more or less, parallel documentation. The shear volume
of activity on that project slows progress a little.

I think if and when we get to page 20 we should look at the current package list to the proposal list and see what still is in lue of updates and get a full list up.

I'd like to ask for dbus-1.8 (which I realize was mentioned in the first page). I'd certainly like it to be part of the next Slackware release.

As for SDL2, it's a new package, not an update.

I've got man-pages and dbus stuff in my queue.

Robby,

Is the list in this link the packages you handle:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...8/#post5289758

If yes, you handle the init scripts: sysvinit-scripts?

If so, could you please comment on this post:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ii-4175534553/

Thank you!

Well, there's no "I handle $x list" really. Though there are things that I typically manage and Pat pulls the results from me, everything is ultimately managed by him. For *really* core stuff like init scripts, the only reason I usually make changes is if something else I touched caused problems there (e.g. util-linux upgrade required some fixes there).

That said, yes, the list you quoted is what I had at that time in my pending queue for Pat. I try to keep it up to date as time progresses, but sometimes I miss stuff (and Pat generally catches those when he pulls them into the main repo).

Anyway, the rest of the timedate changes would have to come from Pat. I've got a couple of Slackware servers on darknets, so your changes there would be welcome to me as well.
