Is it safe to keep updated Salix with spi -u / spi -U? I ask this because it just come out a security fix related to the kernel that with these operations is not downloaded. The concern that I have is to lose any more security fixes.
What is the best way to keep updated Salix?
Thanks.

Thanks for the work.

Thanks Gapan.

Ok, but there is something wrong. Slapt-src read from slackbuilds.org.
Well, the Salix repros for 14.2 are still being populated. Salix usually has it own binary package for vlc built by one of the developers; it just hasn't been completed and uploaded to the repository yet. The reason why slapt ...

Take a look at the Salix Startup Guide ,specifically section 3.1 and 3.2.

Is slapt-src synced with new repo? If you mean Slackbuild.org 14.2 repo then yes it is. What? It seeks also the packages of slackbuilds.org? How it works? In this mirror http://salix.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/salix/slkbuild/14.2/ I have two files both of size 0. Now I'm using sbopkg for Slackbuild ...

I just installed Salix64 Xfce 14.2RC1 (64-bit, x86_64), codec included.
Everything is working well and I have no problems.

Thanks for the work.

Some preparation have been made and are still being made, but no actual packaging yet. Experience has shown that things tend to change a lot between slackware beta and RC releases. A couple of months is perhaps a bit too optimistic, but we're certainly (slowly) getting there...
Thank you for your ...

We are almost there. We are now in beta and the kernel is 4.4. I think in a couple of months at most will be released. A curiosity. Are you already working to release the new 14.2 iso?

Great job. The only problem I found for now is that (already solved by the way) on the package salix-codecs-installer.

Compliments.
