GSB 2.26.3 for Slackware 13.0 is now available for users to try in gsb-current.
Lots of work has gone into this full rebuild for the latest Slackware. Every SlackBuild has been updated, our directory structure now closely follows Slackware practice, and all our packages are now gpg signed. There have also been a few package changes in this release so please give the CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT a quick read before installing. Also, we still need to replace five standard Slackware packages. Please see SLACKWARE-13.0_REPLACED_PACKAGES.TXT for more details about what needs to be replaced, and why.

GSB 2.26.1 being built
Posted 2009/04/27 @ 18:43 GMT
Hello! Thing are back in motion, and GSB 2.26.1 is being built for Slackware 12.2. We hope to have a working -current version by the end of the week for brave testers. All the details will follow when we make a general announcement.
P.S. We're also keeping an eye on Slackware-current, and will also aim to have a version of GSB to match soon. The goal is to have a stable GSB as soon as possible after Pat's unleashes Slackware 13.0 on the world (whenever that is). ;^)
