[Slackbuilds-users] Merging python / python3 packages

[Ed Ender]

I think that we should be trying to move away from python2 as it will be no longer supported after Jan 2020:

also the master git branch usually tracks the latest Slackware
version: for example, ATM, is used to merge things in the 14.2 one.

only when a new Slackware version is about to be released (in the past
when release candidates version were out), submissions will close and
the master branch in our git will be used to merge fixes/adjustments
for the upcoming release.

when then next Slackware version will be released a new branch will
appear in the repository ("15.0" in this case), the http repository
will be updated, submission will reopen and maintainers will be able
to push their updates/fixes for the new release.
