Short answer: there is no simple way.

Long answer: Alien Bob has a package for VLC 3.0.0 in this repository: http://slackware.uk/people/alien/sbrepo ... 86_64/vlc/ but this needs qt5, qt5-webkit and libxkbcommon on top of a full Slackware installation, which means that on Salix you probably need other dependencies that you'd have to find by yourself. Furthermore you would have to avoid mixing packages from different repos, which can fail. For instance qt5 is not at the same version in the aforementioned repo and in a Salix repo.

As an aside, for these reasons I won't upgrade VLC for Slint.

It would then seem VLC 3.x will not be present until Slackware 15? Would that be a fair conjecture?
