Yes, but...

This is not the naming scheme used in Slackware 15.0, as it does not use the
suffix 3, so all python-* packages in it are built against python3. When will it
be time for a change? As an aside, as I have used the Slackware 15.0 naming
scheme in Slint 15, to avoid re-installing packages shipped in it but also
provided by SBo under another name when users run slapt-src (similar to sbopkg)
I use this file:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/source/slapt-src/post-process-slackbuilds_data
called by this script:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/source/slapt-src/remove-unwanted-slackbuilds_data
Ugly, yes, but it works.

Sorry for the digression, but still my question "when?"

Cheers,
Didier
