Old packages in Slackware
by refaelsh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59MZE)
I am considering to abandon Arch and adopt Slackware.
The last thing that is bothering me is that the packages are old.
If I install 14.2, it was released in 2016, all the packages are 4 years old.
I mean like, I can for example update Firefox to the latest version using SlackBuilds.org,
but what about the rest of the packages? I cant go and manually update every package!
I was wandering, what does the Slackware community does about it?
Thanks.
