I have been talking to Christian. The new packages of slang are ready
to go. I have been waiting for other people to upgrade their packages
to slang1_1.2.2-3 which fixes a dependancy problem. Most people have
updated their packages but there were a few more that had promised to
upload soon. As soon as 1.3.8 is uploaded those packages will break
(and since a couple of them and slang are all default packages this
means most upgrades of potato will break) I announced most of this
before.
I don't mean to deflect all the criticism as I have been on and off on
holiday and haven't been bugging the other people as much as I
should. I will do an upload today.
