[Slackbuilds-users] New orphans

[Ruben Schuller]

Hi,

I have locally updated the ejabberd SlackBuild a while back to see if
the new version works. I don't really use jabber all that much right
now, but it would be a shame if it goes away, IMHO.

Pretty sure this requires an updated erlang-otp. I had a mail exchange
with Ryan S. Northrup back then about this, but that has been a while
ago.

Cheers
Ruben
