Would you be so kind to tell us what's going on? As gentoo also doesn't have the SeaMonkey updates, so far, I think it's no big problem that Slackware still needs some time. As long as it takes for the patch to be available, I'm using an official binary package from mozilla.org. If mozilla.org publishes a security update, it's usually a pretty good idea to update immediately... CU Manuel

Just delete (comment) a line below # Fix missing #include <cstdio> in version 2.0.2: Thus, no need to wait for an update. -- Mikhail

The problem is, that I have more than just one Slackware PC in my relationship. Those PCs are auto-updated with official Slackware packages. So I only have two options: Wait for the official patch, which would be automatically installed on all those PCs, or walk from PC to PC to install a self-made patch package. CU Manuel

While you're at it, make sure to install and enable ssh so that next time you're in a similar situation you'll be able to install your own package on them all remotely. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)encs.concordia.ca Systems analyst / AITS Concordia University Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------
