If I get time, I will give that a try. But seeing as how upstream still
has 1.30.4 as the latest source, I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed
to get 1.31.0. I'm guessing the same urchlay site, but just adjust the
download URL?
I guess I'm just ignorant, but I have been active on the Slackware forum
on Linuxquestions.org for a couple years and never remember coming
across someone named Urchlay. But that aside, I'm not sure why being a
well-known Slackware user makes him the correct upstream for ZoneMinder.
Is he a ZoneMinder dev also? Why does the official upstream still have
1.30.4 as the latest stable release? I need a better reason for the
upgrade than what you have provided, and I'm sure the rest of the
ZoneMinder users on SBo would appreciate one too. (Please don't get me
wrong -- I'm very appreciative of your maintainership efforts.)
Regards,
Dan
