If you are an experienced #Slackware user I would really like your help now. On a non-production machine or in a virtual environment with slackware64-current installation (only) try the slacker a slackpkg & slackpkg+ in 1. Written in rust.
Testers are needed not to fix bugs but to find them!

I updated slackbuild and got auditable
because not everyone is used to doing cargo auditable builds
and they haven't installed this dependency, now it's just "cargo build" to build on stock slackware64-current
Thanks @conraid.bsky.social for the report :)

Any #slackware users out there that use Slackware64 Current?
How stable is it compared to 15.0?
I'm getting tired of not being able to run things because of the outdated glibc, but I don't wanna switch my main laptop if it's gonna break all the time.
