[Slackbuilds-users] [hplip-plugin] updated without my say-so, but someone who used my name and email.

>The update sent was to match the version of hplip used by -current.
>The main SBo repository is not for -current.
>Ponce maintains a secondary repository for -current, with updates there:
>https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git

>	hplip-plugins needs to be the exact same version as hplip for it to
>	work.
>I have tested it again before sending that email : a printer or scanner
>requiring the plugin (I have one at home) will not be installable using a wrong
>plugin, and will stop working if the plugin is updated (And work again without
>further ado when the plugin is reverted).
>	Hence this slackbuild shouldn't see any update between releases, except

I will be more careful about this
with the email notification is gone, i have to do things manually and this is
why it slipped
