Perhaps this is a little primitive, but you could just do a normal
build/install (of everything) but remove the .desktop files for those
modules you don't want users to see. That way there is no access to
those modules via the normal menu system they would most likely be using.

Of course users could still access those modules via CLI if they know
how (unlikely ?).

Thanks Stephan,

I used that commit to patch the official 5.3.0.3. tarball and tried
multiple builds, all of which were successful. Looks like a good fix.

One of our IRC slackware users has been having some issues compiling

5.0.4.2, getting the following unit

test failures:


I had troubles with unit tests on 64-bit Slackware 14.1, with 5.0 series,
too, I believe (no such issues with 5.1 series). Had to switch off testing
or ignore it, I don't rightly remember, the build was functional.

Might be this build routine part relies too heavily on modern libraries'
versions?


Slackware 14.1 just about to become a thing of the past - 14.2 is 
imminent. I have a working SlackBuild for 5.0.4.2 on 14.2 available at:
