[Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: gnome-desktop SlackBuild source is 404'd

[Gustavo Brondani Schenkel]

Hi, OpenTofu was updated this weekend on GitLab.

Gnome-Desktop, I will update it, but I can relay the maintenance of it 
to someone else,
I only created as Lutris dependency and I not using anything else gnome 
related.

Also as I sad on the weekend on #slackbuilds liberachat, if gitlab or 
github was used and submit zone to the packages, we could use CODEOWNER 
to involve all package maintainers, then Bob Funk could have updated the 
package for me just give my thumbs up, or open an Issue, the email will 
not be disused because GitLab will send it.

PS: The slackbuilds filter wasn't working, I have correct it now.
