[Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: gnome-terminal SlackBuild

[Bob Funk]

@Pablo - I already submitted a slackbuild update yesterday morning which
switched off nautilus and search_provider by default, with variables to
enable it again. I also tested it against my Slackware current box and it
built fine there too. cwilling already merged the update so it should be in
the repo next Saturday.

Regarding ponce's repo - I'll leave things as they are as it seems he
doesn't want any more weekly churn in that repo. I do have an entire
backlog of packages that need to be updated for next Slackware release that
build on current but not on 15.0. While I'd be willing to upload to a
public repo, I'll follow his preferences and avoid making pull requests.

Regards,
Bob
