Alien's Slackware packages

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:45:39 GMT

clamav: updated to 0.94.1 - note that you can build a package that will
  automatically use a download mirror with a country code 'xx' which you
  specify at the commandline as follows: "ISOCC=xx ./clamav.SlackBuild"

vlctest: vlc-0.9.5 patched so it can display video embedded in the main window
  again (thanks to Thomas Morper for verifying it works); and libtheora &
  libcdio got updated (thanks to nille_)

vlctest: updated to 0.9.5. The ffmpeg and x264 sanpshots have also been
  updated to their latest version. The qt-4.4.3 library has (again) been
  statically compiled-in. This makes the package bigger, but the vlc
  developers assured me you should not try to make vlc run with another
  version of QT than it was compiled with.
   Also, I am contemplating renaming 'vlctest' to 'vlc' and moving 'vlc' to
  'vlc_old', now that the developers have announced they will no longer
  support the old 0.8.x series.
wine: updated to 1.1.7

wine: updated to 1.1.6

vlctest: updated to 0.9.4 - Support was added for 'formatted' subtitle
  display. The ffmpeg and live555 libraries were updated to their latest
  versions.
   *NOTE* starting with this build, the VLC package no longer contains the QT4
  gui library. You need to install a separate QT4 package (if you run
  slackware-current you can switch to KDE4 which has QT4, otherwise get a qt4
  package from my own repository that will co-exist with your existing QT3).
  This reduces the size of the package as well as the time to build it. Also,
  many people will have QT4 available already.
   *NOTE* this is still the package that lacks patented encoders for MP3, AAC
  and AMR. Rebuild VLC if you want to add these encoders, or download my
  package at http://slackware.org.uk/3rd-party/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/

vlctest: upgraded to VLC 0.9.3 (again, no additional packages needed).

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:36:33 GMT

gtk-vnc: added v0.3.7 - this is a GTK widget for VNC clients
qemu-gtk: added v0.2 - a GTK front-end to qemu (requires gtk-vnc to be
  installed as well)

libdvdread: built a Slackware 12.1 package for 0.9.7 (package for new 4.1.3
  could follow soon)

fontforge: updated to 20080828
wine: updated to 1.1.5

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:53:43 GMT

qt4: added v4.4.1 - this is Troll Tech's graphical toolkit which is being used
  by KDE4. I forgot to add this to my repository... you can use this if you
  build VLC 0.9 for instance and don't want to add 8MB of statically linked
  qt4 libraries to the VLC package.

vlctest: updated to 0.9.2. This is the first 0.9 release to be available from
  videolan.org in binary format (for Windows, OS/X and some Linux distros) so
  I may use this version to replace my 'vlc' package which is at 0.8.6i
  currently. However, my vlc-0.9.2 package seems not to be able to play DVD's
  (some other packagers, not all, claim the same) so I will replace nothing
  until I can play DVD's.

wine: updated to 1.1.4

madwifi: updated to r3856 (20080903) snapshot

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).
