I have been thinking how we might provide binary
packages for Slackware
12.2
I'm hoping that if binary packages are available, in addition to build
scripts at my site, that interest will increase among Slackware users.
Although many Slackers build their own packages, many do not. Yet if they
can download the final packages they might spark new interest in Trinity.
I don't have the bandwidth at my meager web site to host packages.
You have offered to host packages. How do we want to do this?
If we wait until the official 3.5.12 tarballs are available, I can build
those final packages. I just need to get them to you.
We would need to post and test a link at your web site just like the other
links.
If we coordinated this then you could include Slackware 12.2 as part of
your release announcement.

If you can get the packages to me at least one day before release, then I
will create a Slackware folder on the main project mirror that contains
them. One way to do this would be for you to temporarily publish a
tarball on your website under a private link that only you and I know.
Let me know what you think!
