Errr... shouldn't Opera go in /net/ and not in /x-apps/?

[vector]

good question Joe. I pondered that building the package but papa slack puts firefox mozilla et all into X-apps so I went with that. Looks like slackware keeps the command line type net apps in /net anything that requires the Xorg server goes in X-apps.

Cheers,
Vec

I know, but back when I started packaging SeaMonkey (before inconnu started), we discussed this and the concensus was to go with /net/. I'm just saying we need to be consistent with ourselves... (LOL, that came out somewhat funny... )

Anyway, dumping EVERYTHING GUI into x-apps is pretty messy, IMHO.

I'm with Joe on this one.  If Slack was perfect we'd all be running Slack and there would be no need for Vector.  I prefer Vector

Obviously I'll follow whatever instructions y'all give me... at least until exeterdad gets back to doing it.

I saw that vlnvidia is one of it dependency....is that correct?

No, it's not correct.  I'll let Vector know we have a problem with this package.  Expect a new build soon.

UPDATE:  The package now in testing has a corrected slack-required file.  The package build number hasn't changed since everything else is the same.  It should work properly now regardless of the video chipset used.

The vlnvidia dependency have been removed. Thanks.
