0.12.0_beta.1

[rizitis]

Version Beta 0.12.0

• SEMANTIC CHANGES: We don't like this but it has to be done...
  • So, slacker in the binaries produced by this repository is moving from /usr/local/sbin which has been in /usr/bin/ until now.
    There are many reasons and against my will. But it has to go there instead of /usr/local/bin so that we can prepare it
    according to SBo standards which is our goal when slackware-16.0 comes.
  • However, those who build slacker themselves should know that it has been designed to work in /usr/local/{sbin,bin} as well as in /usr/{bin,sbin}
    so in any of the 4 paths it will be fine!
• Add: slacker-gui, (OPTIONAL) because why not?
  • GTK4/libadwaita front-end for slacker. It contains no package logic:
  • it runs the slacker binary, reads what slacker prints, and lays it out.
  • Nothing from slacker code was touched and nothing will be. The real slacker lives in cli.
  • Requirements: Everything exist in a stock Slackware-current installation:
    1. GTK >= 4.0, libadwaita >= 1.5 (the development branch ships 1.9),
    2. gtk4-rs 0.10 / libadwaita-rs 0.8, rustc >= 1.83,
    3. A polkit authentication agent in the session.
  • Note: slacker-gui freeze its version when slacker freezing, so from now on: 0.12.0<-- belongs to slacker AND to slacker-gui belong -->_beta_1`
  • That said, hopefully when slackware-16.0 released slacker will freeze --> slacker-16.0_RC_0
    and in few days will be a ready and stable slacker-16.0
• Update: Rearrange folders and repository structure:
  • For obvious reasons, there was a major rearrangement...
• Update: wiki pages.

Full Changelog: 0.11.9...0.12.0
