<br>
We noticed that some applications require newer version of libraries or modules<br>
that is already provided by Slackware core packages. This is normal as<br>
Slackware 15.0 is now 4 years old and upstream are bumping requirements as they<br>
develop new version with more features. Patrick has been kind enough to provide<br>
some new version of some packages into testing/ which helps people to keep<br>
updating to the latest version of the software they often use daily.<br>
<br>
We just to want to remind everyone that SBo is designed to be tested against<br>
latest Slackware Stable releases with latest patches. It doesn't include extra/<br>
or testing/ which requires manual intervention and not part of the full<br>
installation. Our CI is NOT designed to test against custom installation, which<br>
includes packages from extra or testing.<br>
<br>
That said, moving forward, we will start scanning our repository for scripts<br>
that requires newer libraries/packages, such as GLIBC and start<br>
removing them. Urchlay will add GLIBC detection at sbo-maintainer-tools package<br>
soon, which will help CI to test against new PR that requires newer GLIBC.<br>
<br>
Maintainers, please ensure that your scripts are tested against clean<br>
environment of Slackware 15.0, not -current or custom installation.<br>
Our FAQ is also updated to clarify this issue<br>
