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). ;^)
GSB 2.24.2 available in gsb-testing
Posted 2008/12/15 @ 21:01 GMT
We're keeping the updates coming, but unfortunately we just did not have enough time in these past few months to get a heavily tested version of GSB released. Still, for those interested, gsb-testing contains a GSB 2.24.2 available for testing. Please make sure to read the CHANGE_AND_HINTS.TXT for a list of obsoleted packages, new packages, and general hints about what might need some tweaking. It's working quite well, but there are still a few updates in the pipe. And please make sure to report any bugs. :^)
GSB 2.24.0 Almost Ready - Testing in Progress
Posted 2008/10/12 @ 19:41 GMT
Things are starting to look good. We've got a full build of GSB 2.24.0 done, including a full GNOME 2.24.0 desktop, as well as all the goodies, such as the latest NetworkManager, MPlayer, OpenOffice, Abiword, PulseAudio, and a couple of new applications to make your experience of GSB even better. At the moment, we are in the process of testing to make sure nothing will go massively awry when we put GSB 2.24.0 into -current. So it will still be a couple of days before it hits public servers. We will definitely announce when it is ready, soon we hope!
GSB GNOME 2.24.0 Build in Progress for Slackware 12.1 and Slamd64 12.1
Posted 2008/09/25 @ 18:06 GMT
It's that time of year again! A brand new GNOME 2.24.0 has been released, and we are working hard to get a fancy new build of GSB out the door for Slackware 12.1. We should have a preview version in gsb-current by the end of the week. Some notable new changes to GSB are an integrated PolicyKit installation, better printer support, improved development suite, and lots of upgraded packages. If you're interested in knowing when the new GSB comes out, be sure to subscribe to the gsb-users mailing list, or keep checking back here for the news and full release notes.
GSB GNOME 2.22.3 in -current for Slackware and Slamd64 12.1
Posted 2008/07/30 @ 14:59 GMT
GSB for both Slackware and Slamd64 12.1 is now up to date in -current, providing the latest GNOME 2.22.3 desktop. There will probably be a few more updates and bug fixes before -current is labelled as stable, but at the moment the -current branch is quite solid and very useable.
Users who are interested in helping test out the latest -current branch for any remaining bugs, or who want to be running the latest GSB desktop are encouraged to upgrade to -current using slaptget. Take a look at our Download page which has full instructions and a list of mirrors for GSB -current.
