Alien's Slackware packages

Thu, 4 Sep 2008 14:11:36 GMT

clamav: updated to 0.94

Mon, 1 Sep 2008 19:08:50 GMT

pidgin: update to 2.5.1 - note that my version uses the Mozilla NSS libraries
  (provided by Seamonkey) for SSL support, whereas the official Slackware
  package uses gnutls for the SSL support.
vde: update to 2.2.2 - this version has explicit support for kvm (as well as
  for qemu like before).
vlctest: added 0.9.1 - this is the first vlc-0.9.x package that I upload. The
  vlc developers still consider 0.9.x not good enough to release official
  binaries themselves. This vlc 0.9.x no longer uses a wxWidgets based GUI,
  but uses Qt4 instead. I have built the Qt4 libraries into this package which
  adds about 8MB to it's size. If you already have Qt4 installed you should
  definitely rebuild the package using "STATIC_QT4=NO ./vlc.SlackBuild" which
  will save some space on your hard drive (and it will also pull in support
  for MP3/AAC/AMR audio encoding which I left out of the package because these
  encoders suffer from patent issues). Apart from Qt4, I also updated almost
  all supporting libraries (ffmpeg etc). And finally: you do not need to
  install anything else, this package has no external dependencies (well OK if
  you want to watch encrypted DVD's you will have to install libdvdcss).

wine: updated to 1.1.3

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:09:51 GMT

pidgin: updated to 2.5.0 - my build differs from the Slackware build because I
  use mozilla-nss instead of gnu-tls for the SSL encryption support (I can not
  connect to my Jabber account with the Slackware package)

SLiM: added a logrotate script (thanks for the hint Wolven)

skype: updated to 2.0.0.72. Remember that this packages a static build of
  Skype i.e. you do not need to install a separate QT4 package.

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:02:18 GMT

fbterm: added v1.0 - FBTerm is a fast terminal emulator for linux with frame
  buffer.
xvidcap: updated to 1.1.7 which includes a newer version of ffmpeg libraries.
  If you rebuild this package while you have lame installed, the resulting
  xvidcap binary will be able to record audio in mp3 as well (my package will
  do mp2 or ogg so mp3 is not _really_ needed)

pcmanfm: updated to 0.5

Fri, 8 Aug 2008 12:54:51 GMT

sshfs-fuse: updated to v2.1

mplayerplug-in: updated to v3.55
potrace: created a Slackware 12.1 package

Wed, 6 Aug 2008 21:16:49 GMT

ffmpeg - updated to r14080 (20080705). Update of almost all composing
  libraries. The dirac reference implementation library was replaced by
  schroedinger. This version of the package includes shared libraries which
  allows other programs to link to avcodec. Almost all additional codec
  libraries were upgraded to their latest versions as well. NOTE: the package
  was built without including codecs that are tainted by patent issues. If you
  want, you can just run ./ffmpeg.SlackBuild to download the missing codecs
  and build a package that does contain these patented codecs (lame, faac and
  amr). Also note that for playback of mp3 and aac (mp4) audio you do not need
  to recompile - playback is supported.

leafpad: added v0.8.14 - leafpad is a lightweight and fast GTK+ based text
  editor.
obconf: added v2.0.3 - ObConf is a graphical configuration tool for the
  OpenBox window manager (you will find that I added it to the openbox package
  directory)

Tue, 5 Aug 2008 08:45:25 GMT

terminus-font: added v4.26 - this is a clean fixed width font for Unicode
  consoles and terminals

lcms: removed from this repository.. it is already included with Slackware 12.1
  so it makes no sense to have it here (was I sleeping?)
