jloc0<p>Icu4c appears to have been updated in <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/slackware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slackware</span></a> today while I’ve been working. I’ll get rebuilds out in some hours for the effected <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/kde6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kde6</span></a> packages. Did KDE ever drop the next gear beta? That was supposed to be today as well. Ah well, we’ll get it all soon enough.</p>
