[Slackbuilds-users] I will no longer maintain SlackBuilds from Aug 15 onwards

[Jeremy Hansen]

Isaac,

Thanks for all your years of service to SBo and best of luck to your future!

I can take the following as dependencies for the packages I currently
maintain:

network/tut
python/python3-defusedxml
python/python3-pynacl

I've already pushed the maintainer changes to my branch.

If you do ever come back and want any of these back, I'm happy to give them
back to you.

Again, best of luck!
Jeremy
