GWARE - GNOME 2.22.0 for Slackware 12.1
Saturday, May 3, 2008
Not much wait this time. Same rules apply, read the INSTALL file for all the details. Available via FTP as usual. I'm working on having at least one more mirror soon.
GWARE - GNOME 2.20.3 for Slackware 12.0
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Long awaited, the next stable release of GWARE has been released. It's available on the FTP. Be sure to read INSTALL, especially if you are upgrading from a testing release. Installation is slightly different than in the past. A lot of credit goes to Joey T for a ton of heavy lifting and bug squashing. The users mailing list is still open, use it if you have any issues. A build for -current is on its way, soon.
GWARE - GNOME 2.18.x for Slackware 12.0
Wednesday, July 11, 2007
I have been working on a build of GNOME for Slackware 12.0, despite what Pat said in the RELEASE notes, 2.16.x has been running on -current for over a year and I am running it on 12.0 as I type this. It has been available in testing/ the entire time. GWARE is NOT unmaintained and I do not know why he would say this. Reguardless, I have two dedicated machines here, a quad xeon and a p4 2.4, set up for building and testing. I plan to do a 2.18.x release as time permits. This project is not dead. It will be lighter and far less intrusive than before thanks to the many updated software additions in Slackware 12.0.
GWARE Rev. H - GNOME 2.16.3 for Slackware 11.0
Saturday, March 10, 2007
Rev. H was put in testing/ in early Feb. but I got lazy about asking for testers and updating the website. Also, there was some mail server switching and mailing list troubles. It's functional and very stable, so it's available on the FTP as usual. Because of some problems (listed in BUGS), lack of time, other projects, loss of developers, etc.. this will probably not become an official release. If time permits, I will likely try for a 2.18.x when it comes around. Development help and solutions to problems are always welcome.
Slackware 11.0 + GNOME 2.16.x
Monday, October 16, 2006
We're working on finalizing the build of GNOME 2.16.1 for Slackware 11.0. Not many of us have enough free time, as mentioned, so I can't say when it will be done. Quality is still our highest priority. In the mean time, there's a functional build of 2.14.0 still in testing/ that you can use on 11.0. Please remember that it is a testing release, we don't want bug reports unless they include fixes :) Thanks. Do not install Rev. G (2.12.3) onto 11.0, it will downgrade some libs and udev.
RSS Feed Changes
Wednesday, July 19, 2006
The RSS Feed links have changed, because they are now static. Please update your feed readers. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'd also like to note that despite the long dry-patch, we're not dead. Development is still happening. We (the developers) just don't have alot of free time anymore. We hope to get back to releasing quality packages soon, thanks for your patience and support.
GWARE Rev. G - GNOME 2.12.3 For Slackware 10.2+Patches
Tuesday, February 28, 2006
This is the last release in the 2.12 series. We've decided to include a newer udev in this release, so auto mounting will work properly. Many thanks to the new team members for all their help and to all our users!

GWARE Rev. D - GNOME 2.12.0 For Slackware 10.1+Patches
Sunday, September 9, 2005
GNOME 2.12.0 for Slackware 10.1+Patches. Lots new in this new version of GNOME, too much to mention. Oh, and not to worry, Rev. E (2.12.0 for 10.2) will be released soon. Actually D runs fine on -current right now, but don't tell anyone.
New Server
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
We now have a dedicated server, thanks to OnyxLight, and we appreciate it more than you know. Web and FTP will be hosted here, and we will put up a public rsync as well. This is a big boost to our project, and eases thingsa great deal. We will still continue to use SourceForge for mailing lists and forums. Thanks goes to WebSight Designs for the temporary hosting.
Server Change
Friday, July 15, 2005
We're moving servers, from 1.54Mbps to 100Mbps. ftp.gware.org will be down or have small issues. When installing, please select the websightdesigns or sourceforge mirrors. Thanks, and sorry for any troubles.
Many thanks go to WebSight Designs for providing us with storage and bandwidth.
