Just letting everyone know what's coming up pretty soon...
Within the next day or two (or maybe even this evening), I am going to be
syncing out a whole pile of stuff including a few bug fixes, new
pine/imapd and mutt packages, and openssl/openssh! Yes, that's finally
going into the main distribution. As soon as I see that Patrick has
uploaded all that to the ftp site, I'll sync out. Yes, I am sitting on
that stuff for now :)
I'll wait a few days for everyone to sync that stuff down and test it.
Then, I'll be sending out KDE 2.0.1 packages with ssl support. That will
be another big, complicated download. That's why I am going to put some
space between that and the ssl stuff.
Then, I'll be playing games with the shell. We are merging ksh into
Slackware. I'll be doing things a bit differently from the Intel
distribution - namely, placing ksh in as the system's sh. It seems to be
functioning just fine on my test machines. Also, I'm thinking about
renaming bash to bash2, and bash1 to bash. That means that bash 1.14.7
would be "bash". So make menuconfig would work.
Finally, it'll be time to merge in the 2.2.18 kernel.
So, lots of stuff will be changing soon! It should be very exciting
stuff. There might be a lot of testing to do. Oh, and then I'm going to
be gone for 12 days for Christmas, so I'll only have limited access to
mail and development machines.
