It appears #slackwareaarch64 got the huge plasma 6 update today. While I haven’t removed the ktown aarch64 repo yet, and there probably a ton of broken packages in #slackaroni at the moment— know I’m on it, and I’ll have some updates to post soon.

I pushed updates for #firefox & #librewolf 152.0.1 for #slackwareaarch64 in the #slackaroni repository today.

So from what I gather on the #slackwareaarch64 ChangeLog, it’s going to be a few weeks until the port receives the official Plasma upgrade.

That being said, I’ll keep the ktown aarch64 repo around a bit. While I’m not going to add all slackwares changes (ffmpeg8, etc) I will update plasma to 6.7 and add the new packages to it… eventually.

Oh yeah I uploaded #firefox & #librewolf 152.0 releases for #slackwareaarch64 to the #slackaroni repo earlier today. Unlisted like my phone number in the phone book, but they do exist, look in the pkg/ dir and you will find them hiding. https://slackware.lngn.net/

I just want to post a note, as my time this week is very slim, but I will leave the ktown aarch64 active for some days. If the update lands on #slackwareaarch64 with Plasma 6, I'd advise anyone using my repo to disable it when that time comes.

I will be removing said repo from active maintenance upon the official update. Any other #slackaroni updates will trickle out as I have time to push them. I'll probably also revise #libreoffice to drop the kf5 support afterwards.

I pushed the latest #firefox 151.0.4 & #flatpak 1.18.0 for #slackwareaarch64 in my little #slackaroni repo a little while ago. Hot & fresh, as usual.

Today I've pushed the latest #libreoffice 26.2.4 for #slackwareaarch64 with the usual vcl support for gtk3, kf5, & kf6 so it doesn't look out of place anywhere on your system. Enjoy!

Users of my ktown build for #slackwareaarch64 will be happy to know that I've rebuilt things against the qt6-6.11.1 package update and pushed the latest gear-26.04.2 updates as well.

Yes, we've strayed a bit from being a 1:1 copy at this point, but that's ok.

My mom said I could.

I'm compiling clang-22.1.6 on macos 10.14 (or trying to anyway) and while that's going, I updated my PineBookPro with the latest #slackwareaarch64 updates. Tested #sway 1.12 a bit, but noticing #niri is much faster now with animations and such. DMS has some slow-downs but it's still pretty performant. I should really grab a ssd for this machine instead of using the eMMC though. Maybe if I talk about it enough, I'll actually do it someday.

For anyone looking for a working #slackwareaarch64 mirror, there's one at mirror.slackbuilds.org/slackwarearm/slackwareaarch64-current/ and it even supports rsync!
