+- The Plasma5 in my 'testing' repository has again been compiled against
+ the PAM packages in Slackware-current's aptly called '/testing' area.
The following packages will pick up PAM support:
plasma:kscreenlocker,plasma-workspace,kwallet-pam
plasma-extra:sddm-qt5
-- There were some removals in the 'deps' section, all these packages are now
- present in Slackware itself:
- OpenAL (renamed in Slackware to openal-soft), SDL_sound (included in
- Slackware's sdl), brotli, hyphen, libxkbcommon, qt5, qt5-webkit, socat,
- wayland, wayland-protocols, woff2.
- The sip packkage was upgraded. And since last month's batch I had also
- upgraded qca-qt5.
