Okay, folks, it's that time again. We're running a bit behind this time,
|
|
but we think (most of) the kinks are worked out at this point. As we
|
|
announced on the mailing list a couple of days ago, we've spent a *lot* of
|
|
time and effort getting our entire repository into git, so everything is
|
|
now available there in addition to our "normal" offerings (http, ftp, and
|
|
rsync). This has not been without a few hiccups along the way, and one of
|
|
them is a mixed blessing: git keeps track of *everything* :-) As such,
|
|
it seems like too much time/effort involved in providing a ChangeLog *this*
|
|
time to detail what's added, removed, patched, and so on; therefore, if
|
|
you are interested in that (and you should be), have a look here:
|
|
http://slackbuilds.org/gitweb/?p=slackbuilds.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/13.1
|
|
We'll be creating the usual "Slackware-style" ChangeLog.txt from this point
|
|
forward, so don't get too excited about having to crawl the git logs... :-)
|
|
Anyway, I (rworkman) would like to take this opportunity to thank the other
|
|
admins for all of the help with this, particularly: Heinz Wiesinger for
|
|
providing lots of git expertise and massive improvements to our "system"
|
|
for managing submissions behind the scenes; Erik Hanson for an outstanding
|
|
job managing the server; David Somero for test-building the entire tree on
|
|
-current to find out what was broken; Ezra Free for popping in to fix the
|
|
occasional "emergency" with the website code; Rob McGee for sitting in the
|
|
shadows (well, mostly) making sure our DNS resolves correctly and our mail
|
|
gets delivered; Michiel van Wessem for the "routine" stuff (and laughing
|
|
at my lame jokes); and for the sake of completeness, Eric Hameleers and Alan
|
|
Hicks for all of the little things that are so often overlooked and/or
|
|
unrecognized but nonetheless necessary. Thanks, guys - you are sincerely
|
|
appreciated!
|
|
Finally, thanks to all of you readers for helping bring us to where we are
|
|
today - obviously this applies to those of you who maintain various scripts
|
|
in the repo, as those are the reason anyone visits the site - but it also
|
|
applies to the "normal" users. Thanks for the feedback, the bug reports,
|
|
the fixes, the word-of-mouth recommendations on forums and mailing lists,
|
|
and so on - we appreciate your votes of confidence. That being said, there
|
|
are almost surely some bugs lurking in this first batch of public offerings,
|
|
but maybe we can get those shaken out pretty quickly. We're going to wait
|
|
a few days (maybe even a week or so) before we open the submission form
|
|
back up - this will give us time to knock out any bugs that are uncovered.
|
|
Enjoy! --rworkman
