+--------------------------+ Tue Nov 26 06:41:27 UTC 2013 Here it is! The launch of the SlackBuilds.org repository into the 14.1 era. With the help of our amazing community we spent the last couple of weeks testing, fixing, and updating the scripts in the repository for the latest Slackware release. We are happy to say that we think it has never been better :) There are no big user-visible changes this time around, although we did make some smaller tweaks and adjustements in the templates. Be sure to check those out before starting to submit new or updated scripts. We'd like to take this time to welcome the newest member of our admin team, Willy Sudiarto Raharjo (willysr), and thank him for the huge amount of testing and fixing of various scripts that he did. Similarly goes for Matteo Bernardini (ponce) as well as for David Somero (XGizzmo), who once again put the repository through its paces using automated build testing. Then there's Heinz Wiesinger (pprkut) for the usual fixes and updates, as well as his work behind the scenes with our database. Kudos also go to Erik Hanson (erik) for his never-ending job of server maintenance and upkeep, on top of fixes and updates all over the SBo tree. Thanks go as well to Michiel van Wessem (BP{k}) and Niels Horn (niels_horn) for jumping in every once in a while for moral support and hints on various hard to crack issues. Then there's also rob0 (/dev/rob0) hiding in the shadows working tirelessly to keep mail and dns working. Last but not least there's Robby Workman (rworkman), our ever inspiring project lead who knows exactly how to kick us all into gear when work needs to get done! :) All of our users and maintainers deserve proper thanks for our existence, but David Spencer and David Woodfall really helped out a lot this time around with testing and fixing an insane amount of SlackBuilds. Naturally there have been many more providing input on all sorts of things. Thanks go out to all of you, regardless of how small or large your contributions may have been. See the git log for detailed changes since 14.0. Happy Slacking! -- The SBo team +--------------------------+
