[Slackbuilds-users] SlackBuild f3 (6.0) 14.2

[Konrad J Hambrick]

Hmmm ...

Yes, I am confused :)

Something is clearly different.

If I understand the process of submitting a SlackBuild, it has to compile
on the Maintainer's System so unless I am mistaken about that assumption,
that would make three other machines where ths SlackBuild worked as
released :)

​Michel Machado provides a link to his github repository ​for 'the next
version' of f3 in addition to the latest stable version.

   f3 'the next version' is here :   https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3/

and ...

   f3 6.0 stable : https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3/archive/v6.0.zip

The f3.SlackBuld and f3.info files were written against f3 6.0 stable ...

​What is the md5sum on your f3-6.0.zip file ?​

​Thanks BHReach !​
