Of course, eventually that ESR version reached EOL and we had to \\ introduce Rust into Slackware 14.2 in order to continue providing updates. \\ Eventually that also ran into roadblocks as Firefox required first newer \\ C/C++ compilers, and then finally a newer libstdc++. To continue, we'd \\ have had to bump GCC to a much newer version, making other maintenance \\ difficult or impossible. At this point, the latest Firefox has no additional \\ dependencies beyond those of the ESR version, and it's unlikely that it \\ will be any more difficult to keep it maintained. I think we all want the \\ Slackware 15.0 release to be as good as possible, and most users will be \\ better served if we resume following the latest desktop releases. \\ Thanks to LuckyCyborg who can always be counted on to give me a friendly \\ kick in the rear end. :-) Thanks also to ponce for the updated gkrust patch. ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware.current>l/qt5-5.15.2-i586-6.txz]] \\ Rebuilt with -proprietary-codecs and -webengine-proprietary-codecs. When \\ combined with -webengine-ffmpeg (use system ffmpeg), this doesn't actually \\ build any proprietary codecs, but allows them to be used if they happen to \\ be built into the system ffmpeg.
