Hi Al,===============================================================================
you would not have to change anything as the command to start it is still emacs.
Cheers,

The message below says in part,
"
As the emacs package comes from Slacwkare ans is still at version 27.2, I think
it would be better to ship in Slint only emacs-nativecomp, that we would just
rename emacs.
Thoughts? Would there be any inconvenience doing that from the users
standpoint?"
I use Emacs from time to time and intend to use it more. Does what I quoted
mean I'd need to bring it up by a different name?
Thanks!

Hello,
Updates listed in top of:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/ChangeLog.txt:
Tuesday 8 August 2023
abcde-2.9.3-x86_64-2slint: Rebuilt.
the default configuration now sets the remote database for cddb
to gnudb.gnudb.org instead of freedb.freedb.org
btrfs-progs-6.3-x86_64-1slint: Upgraded.
extra/emacs-nativecomp-29.1-x86_64-2slint.txz: Upgraded.
Compiled against tree-sitter-0.20.8. Grammar libraries for this can be
downloaded and installed from within Emacs - read the file
/usr/doc/emacs-nativecomp-29.1/NEWS for details
kernel-firmware-20230804_7be2766-noarch-1slint: Upgraded.
The license files missing from the previous version are included.
speech-dispatcher-0.11.5-x86_64-1slint.txz: Upgraded.
tree-sitter-0.20.8-x86_64-1slint.txz: Added.
parser generator and library.
This is a dependency for an interesting new feature of emacs-29.1.
thorium-reader-2.3.0-x86_64-1slint.txz: Added.
Easy to use EPUB reading application.
This application can also read other formats including pdf and is
accessible with speech.
To start it on the command line type: thorium
To know more type:
thorium --help
and read /usr/doc/thorium-reader-2.3.0/README.html
You can also access it from the Applications menu under Office.
+-------------------------+
This (latest) version of thorium-reader is accessible with speech, thanks to
Storm for having checking that.
As it is a new package, get it typing as root or using sudo:
slapt-get -u
then either:
slapt-get -i thorium reader
or:
slapt-get --upgarde-all
Also, for the emacs users, emacs-nativecomp has been upgraded in extra/ with its
new dependency tree-sitter in the main repository (will be installed if you
install or upgrade emacs-nativecomp). I remind you that emacs-nativecomp can't
coexist with emacs so remove emacs first before installing it.
As the emacs package comes from Slacwkare ans is still at version 27.2, I think
it would be better to ship in Slint only emacs-nativecomp, that we would just
rename emacs.
Thoughts? Would there be any inconvenience doing that from the users standpoint?
Also, there have been important updates of package coming from Slackware, some
that may need users' attention. The quotes below are extracted from:

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-115.1.0-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This is a bugfix release.
For more information, see:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/115.1.0/releasenotes/
patches/packages/samba-4.18.5-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
PLEASE NOTE: We are taking the unusual step of moving to the latest Samba
branch because Windows has made changes that break Samba 4.15.x. The last
4.15.x will be retained in /pasture as a fallback. There may be some
required configuration changes with this, but we've kept using MIT Kerberos
to try to have the behavior change as little as possible. Upgrade carefully.
This update fixes security issues:
When winbind is used for NTLM authentication, a maliciously crafted request
can trigger an out-of-bounds read in winbind and possibly crash it.
SMB2 packet signing is not enforced if an admin configured
"server signing = required" or for SMB2 connections to Domain Controllers
where SMB2 packet signing is mandatory.
An infinite loop bug in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight can be
triggered by an unauthenticated attacker by issuing a malformed RPC request.
Missing type validation in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight can be
used by an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a process crash in a shared
RPC mdssvc worker process.
As part of the Spotlight protocol Samba discloses the server-side absolute
path of shares and files and directories in search results.

So:
1. That Bram Moolenaar have passed a way is a big loss, of course for
his family and also for vim users
1. firefox and thunderbird users, be aware that there have been
some modifications in the UI since the 102 branch previously provided.
2. samba users, carefully read the NOTE above.
Cheers,
Didier
