Slackware 13.0 RC1 has been released. Or tagged. Or whatever you'd call it in the Slackware world. "The TODO isn't entirely empty here, but it's pretty much down to minor nits, and so we're going to call this release candidate #1 and (mostly) freeze further updates unless they happen to fix problems. Regarding the kernel, 2.6.29.x has been well tested with this userspace and seems like the best choice to ship for production use. Perhaps we can put something else (at least source and configs) in /testing, though."

Used xfce.org dependency list as guide to compile the sources: http://www.xfce.org/documentation/requirements
Also created the slack build scripts to install the compiled modules as slack packages (for removal purposes if needed later). Browse in the slackware source directory to see the available SlackBuild scripts as samples and create your own based on them.
After the scripts are created just run them and the sources are compiled and packaged for installation.
Actually only special thing about those scripts are the fact that 'make install' is called with destdir parameter to install the module to specific directory and them slackware package is created by compressing that directory.
