That being the case, you may certainly +decide to use a later cvs snapshot than what we have tested, but there are +no guarantees from us that it will compile cleanly or package properly. +If changes in the upstream cvs repository necessitate changes to our build +script, please let us know. + +Note: The download link for the source tarball points to the SlackBuilds.org + server; this is because the upstream sources are only available via + cvs. |
