Posted 2009/09/24 @ 21:17 GMT
We've brought our GNOME SlackBuild 2.26.3 to the latest Slackware and Slackware64, and it's working solidly. There have been some updates over the previous 2.26.3 release for Slackware 12.2, so please make sure to read the documentation, particularly our SLACKWARE-13.0_REPLACED_PACKAGES.TXT, CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT, and the INSTALL.TXT For those of you upgrading from gsb-current, please make sure to update your SOURCE lines in your slapt-getrc to point to the new directories. Check out our download page for more information.
The release will be filtering out to a bunch of our new mirrors, which have recently been added, so please check the MIRRORS.TXT to find a local copy near you. You may need to wait a bit before all the mirrors are up to date.
Many thanks to all those who helped us out by submitting suggestions or reporting bugs! Now onto GNOME 2.28.0!

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.
