VMWare player 5 or Workstation 14
You'd have to install an offical binary from the vendor.
(but we ship qemu)
tintin++ 2.x (preferably the newest version)
2.0.1 available from SBo. I can probably package the most recent version (2.11.91) for Slint.
A working copy of fenrir or espeakup (whatever one is the best)
Both are shipped in Slint, and also speechd-up.
An accessible desktop... I am more familiar with Mate, but am willing to experiment a little.
Mate (most recent version of each componet) is shipped in Slint, fully accessible with Orca,
speech-dspatcher, many voices.
Orca, with the ability to build from source when new code is sent to Master.
We ship a fairly recent version from Master. But Joanie never sleeps <smile>
So you can rebuild it from master with the files stored here:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/orca/
Ability to update packages when there are new updates.
All stuff needed to build from newer sources are available here for the packages I build myself:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/
For those coming from Slackware:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/source/
Ability to install new packages when I have a need for them.
Either built them yourself or request that on our mailing list.
Packages are added/upgraded upon request, if possible, cf.:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/ChangeLog.txt
package dependency management by slapt (i.e. I install php, slapt installs all dependencies automatically)
In Slint it's slapt-get. Indeed dependencies are installed automatically.
emacspeak with some updated speech server other than espeak. The one from Ubuntu is too quiet.
emacspeak is shipped We will have to find out for the speech server, more information needed.
Libre Office 6.3.x to get most of the accessibility fixes if any are present.
6.2.7 OK. For 6.3.x I have to check
Thunderbird (newest)
Not in Slint (ESR version). But you can install te binary provided upstream.
Firefox (newest)
Ditto.
python 3.7 and python 3.8
Not in Slint (Python 3.5. at the moment).
But available from SBo.
g++/gcc 9.x
Not in Slint.
You can build it from the source files here:
http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-current/source/d/gcc/
bluefish editor 2.10
Available @ SBo (version 2.2.10 currently, but you could upgrade and I could provide a pacakage)
I want slint to manage my wifi connection (it gives me a list of networks to choose from).
That's done with NetworkManager plus the applet accessible from Mate's top panel or with a TUI
I have an HP 360 convertable w/touch screen, I7 8500U 2.5GHZ x8 processor, 16GB of DDR3 ram, Intell UHD
graphics, Intel HD audio sound, 1TB HD, USB 2 and USB 3 ports, micro and standard SD card slots, Aleron
touchpad, and HDMI out.
Not sure about the support of the touch screen, else looks OK (we can check).
Best,
Didier

Hi,
I have some fairly specific requirements before running a distro. Do you think you can help me sort out if
slint will work for me?
