In case anyone's toes do get stepped on... we can always give the build back to the old maintainer, if he complains. That's happened a few times already.

As time goes on, more and more packages are affected by this sort of issue. So lack of updates on a package is not a definitive metric, which makes automating such an approach problematic. The "email to maintainer, and then if no response after a few weeks, email to the list" is the current approach, which seems reasonable. Unless there is a way to indicate in the slackbuild that it can't be updated because of dependencies either directly supplied by slackware, or indirectly via a sbo dep/s which can't be updated for a similar reason, we have no way of knowing why a package may be old. however we don't currently have a way of indicating that a particular package is limited because of a dependancy version/s apart from the readme. This is even more open-ended for optional deps. large amounts of gnome stack is waiting for a newer slackware before it can be updated. ?As there is currently no way to indicate this in a way that can be automated (we just have comments in readme's), it does mean that from time to time someone will say "sbo x needs updating" and then the maintainer or list or admin has to inform the user of the reason why it can't be updated at the moment. We would need to come up with a flexible standard way of indicating this sort of issue in the .info file or a formalised way of indicating it in the readme which could be reliably parsed. regards, Tim -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com From urchlay at slackware.uk Thu Dec 4 04:52:41 2025 From: urchlay at slackware.uk (B.

You could update the .info files so they look like this: MAINTAINER="orphaned - no maintainer" EMAIL="NOEMAIL" ...or one of us can do it, it'd just be easier if we don't have to do this constantly.

Already did so on my branch for the net update....unless I forgot to 'git push' ! -Ed From slackbuilds at schoepfer.info Fri Dec 5 08:01:58 2025 From: slackbuilds at schoepfer.info (Franzen) Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2025 09:01:58 +0100 Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Dropping openvino-plugins-ai-audacity Message-ID: <8606a50d49c66beaf319866425e78f65@schoepfer.info> Hi all, i can't afford enough time anymore for this complicated builds, so i'm dropping openvino-plugins-ai-audacity, and the dependencies for it i maintained which are: openvino pytorch whisper.cpp OpenCL-CLHPP If nobody wants to take over, i'll submit these builds as orphaned. In case there is a new maintainer, you may consider adding flatbuffers as dependency for openvino and pytorch. flatbuffers is not maintained anymore by the listed maintainer(according to some mails on this list), and needs a tweak to be usable for the builds, which was rejected by the maintainer. I may come up with another tool/buildscript for the initial task: Separate an audio track into individual stems -- Drums, Bass, Vocals, & Other Instruments.
