Plasma 6 has officially landed in Slackware-current.
After years of community testing and development, Plasma 6 is now part of the official Slackware-current tree alongside the ffmpeg8 transition. Many thanks to Patrick Volkerding, alienBOB, LuckyCyborg, and everyone who contributed code, packaging, testing, and bug reports along the way.

Well folks, it seems that the stars have aligned to bring us a bunch of long-
awaited updates, including ffmpeg8 and Plasma 6! This has been developed in a
side tree for several weeks, and I'll be happy to get that off my plate and
have a greatly reduced todo list. Many thanks to alienBOB for getting the tree
in good shape, helping when I got stuck, and for being a good manager who
inspires me to do my best work. 🙂 And we both extend our thanks to the
illustrious LuckyCyborg who ported the build scripts to Plasma 6 in the first
place and then maintained Plasma 6 for Slackware users to test for a couple of
years. And thanks to everyone else who helped out with either of the Slackware
Plasma 6 projects that these updates grew out of.
Have fun!
