Re: [Slackbuilds-users] poEdit maintenance

While one must appreciate the work involved in the 13.0 to 13.1 update, a warning on this mail list that the submissions shall be closing would have been conductive to the combined effort solicited to maintain scripts. -Original Message- From: slackbuilds-users-boun...@slackbuilds.org

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL. Slackware would be much poorer with slackbuilds.org. Your effort is appreciated by all the community. I just hope that you enjoy it as well. Please replace http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.0/system/davfs2/MINI_HOWTO with the attached. There are a few silly typos

Further to a discussion that ensued on a linuxquestions.org thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/virtualbox-2.1.2-slackb uild-699309/ I noted that the permissions on rc-scripts installed by Slackbuild packages are not consistent. Moreover the default permissions are not
