I've uploaded a new/fixed #kde6 liveslak ISO #slackware #liveslak, my last one shipped a few old packages, so I cleaned things up and put up a new ISO that's fresh out of the box. There's also an updated #nwgshell ISO uploading right now, that will be available momentarily, with a fixed default hyprland config, and the latest changes as well. https://rekt.lngn.net/liveslak/

Plasma 6.4 is available now for your #slackware current based systems. I messed up the changelogs (and don’t have time to fix them) but we’ve removed ‘drkonqi’ and there’s 2 new pkgs ‘aurorae’ & ‘kwin-x11’. Please add drkonqi to your blacklists and remove the 6.3.5 release! #slackaroni #kde6 https://slackware.lngn.net/

Did some auditing on #kde6 installs, and all seems well. Doesn’t appear I have missed anything, no broken packages, etc. So we will next be going into Plasma 6.4 which if you’ve used/using the beta you know that is fine as well. So looks like things are in the clear for the immediate future. #slackware

Ok I’ve uploaded rebuilds for the libxml2 update within #slackware to the #kde6 repo just now as well as rebuilds of appstream & flatpak if you’re utilizing the #flatpak sub-system which is also available. #slackaroni https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/x86_64/slackware64-current/ChangeLog.txt

#slackware had a big libxml2 upgrade today, and as such many packages needed rebuilt against it. But luckily, the old lib was added to the “aaa_libararies” package for backward compatibility for a short time. It is safe to update your systems even though I’ve not pushed rebuilds yet. I’ll get updated packages out ASAP. #kde6 #slackaroni

So the #kde6 unstable repo now has Plasma 6.3.91 (6.4 beta 2). I’ve removed ‘drkonqi’ as it requires systemd and patching to build isn’t going to fix the issue with it regardless. Enjoy! #slackaroni https://slackware.lngn.net/

I'd been poked and prodded at today regarding issues with libexec file locations within #kde6 and shipping systemd service files within the packages. While, yes the libexec location is wrong, but I don't agree about removing the sysd files, if only because one could use systemd on their slackware, who am I to decide what users want? Alas, I removed them anyway, and am fixing libexec locations within KDE. These will be the next #kde6 updates, after some testing.

Ok, I went ahead and just uploaded plasma 6.4 beta. A crash reporter is worthless on an unsupported machine anyway, so we’re going to assume drkonqi-6.3.5 partially works until I’m proven otherwise. Enable the repo, or wait for me to post a liveslak soon and read my blurb about what’s new here: https://slackware.lngn.net/#kde6-unstable #kde6 #slackaroni #slackware

I uploaded new liveslak ISOs for #nwgshell and #kde6 today. The nwg still needs some trimming work but it’s getting slimmer at 2.2gb. The kde6 is the big boy at 4.5gb, I plan to slim that one down soon eventually as well. #slackware https://rekt.lngn.net/liveslak/

Posted #kde6 Frameworks 6.14.0 a little bit earlier today on my repos waiting for your updating procedures! #slackaroni #slackware https://slackware.lngn.net/

I’ve posted the KDE Gear 25.04.1 updates and #hyprland 0.49.0 to the #slackaroni repo. #kde6 #nwgshell https://slackware.lngn.net/

Plasma 6.3.5 is now available on #slackaroni #kde6 #slackware #slackwareaarch64 wee hashtags! https://slackware.lngn.net/

Pushed some poppler rebuilds to #kde6, updated qterminal for #lxqt and #nwgshell nwg-look-1.0.5. #slackaroni #slackware https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/x86_64/slackware64-current/ChangeLog.txt

I uploaded that #kde6 sddm rebuild for x86-64, I’d not ever built it up for arm64 yet but I’ll get to it later. Also, updated #libreoffice for arm64 to 25.2.3.1 which I’ve been sitting on for days as well. https://slackware.lngn.net/

Ok, I still haven’t grasped the proper formatting for ChangeLog.txt being parsed through the gen_repo_files but I’m getting somewhere with it. #kde6 gear 25.04.0 is up, there’s 3 new deps (like unstable had), and #lxqt 2.2.0 is up as well on Intel. https://slackware.lngn.net/#news

I had been spending so much time worrying about #kde6 on x86-64 I hadn’t realized I’d built the entire arm64 over but left the /etc/kde intact. Luckily, I was doing installs and tests and found my mistake before I uploaded the repo. Anyone on #slackwareaarch64 waiting for the #kde6 rebuild… it’s ready and all good, and I’ll be pushing it live tomorrow ahead of the next gear 25.04.0 release which will come this weekend for both platforms. Holding off a bit on restructured arm64 repo as well.

I pushed a small update for #kde6 #slackware for mpvqt-1.1.1 and dep rebuilds. Gloriously jacked up the ChangeLog again as well (I literally cannot find the doc that explains the formatting anymore) I’ll get it someday. https://slackware.lngn.net/ I still need to fix the site info, but I’m out of time till the weekend.

Plasma 6.3.4 is up & at em! Now available within my #kde6 repos for #slackware & #slackwareaarch64 | https://slackware.lngn.net/
