Re: emesene 1.6 is out, and package for x86_64
Who maintains emesene? Would be nice if the maintainer himself could provide a 64 bit package, too.
Of course we try to provide the same packages in our 64 and 32 bit repo, but this means more work for packagers because either they have build on 2 machines or use Salix64 and a VirtualBox to build 32 bit packages.
And another thing: We don't want to do package version upgrades in our stable repo unless there is an important reason (security fixes, bugfix only releases, ...). We will go for latest software again in our current repo, which will be created at the time when Slackware's current repo will be more stable again.

It's stillborn's package. But I have just added version 1.5.1 in the x86_64 repository too.
