Latest OpenSoftware Releases for x86

[reinhardtjh]

I'm not sure if this is where to put this, but the email that recently came out with the monthly release notices ("VMS Software Monthly Product Updates" of 27-JUL-2023) announced new versions of some software for Alpha, IA64 and x86. When I look in the SP I can see the x86 versions of the install packages, but some (LibMariaDB and OpenLDAP) are greyed out. When I look on the Open Source page for the item, it notes that there is an x86 version available, but no download links - just links for Alpha and IA64.

Can someone check into this and fix the SP availability?

Thank you.

@Martin , Thank You for all that leg work !-) , While I have been using , albiet on an older version of Slackware ie: 14.2 , I've not seen those options available on the version of xpdf shipped there .
That said , I AM planning to migrate to slackware-15.1 when it becomes available .
The 15.0 , Tho I (try to) never use a x.0 of anything in production , that I am testing does have them .

Means I have to garner a bit more momentum to migrate , even if it's a x.0 version .

Agn , Thank You . JimL

I don't want to get too far OT, this is after all a VMS forum. I run AlmaLinux 8.8 as my host OS, kernel version 4.18.0-477.21.1.el8_8.x86_64 (just call it 4.18.0) and the xpdf version is 4.04.

Agree about x.0 versions. Got caught on VMS4.0, but skipped 5.0 and later .0s, then got shifted to UNIX but still avoided x.0
