I've ported the builds from autoconf/make to meson. You can find the changes in the meson branch of each of the projects. I am pretty pleased so far and plan to merge these to the main branches soon.

Waiting for Slackware 15.0
Posted by jaos on 2020/01/01
While getting ready for the 15.x release for the past year, I've updated a number of things:
- refactored a bit of really old code 😬
- switched to GTK3 and polkit for gslapt and slapt-update-service
- moved default package repositories to a google storage mirror for faster transfer speeds
- Added aarch64 builds in hopes that gets some traction.
