The Slackware ChangeLog RSS feed that I found seems antiquated. Is there an
active RSS feed for the Slakware ChangeLog?

I know nothing of RSS feeds, but in the recent thread about the changelog
not being changed (or whatever) a couple of people pointed out
alternatives.

One ftp site mirrors the changelog, and does seem to be up to date
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt
That's one someone specified, one might hope the other ftp mirror sites
have it up to date.


Someone else, I don't remember who, also either keeps this backup of
the changelog, or pointed to it:
http://ciar.org/ttk/public/ChangeLog.txt

As I post this just before 7pm on Monday May 21st, both have a Saturday
update, which likely is then up to date.

That hope is fulfilled.
When I want to see the date of the "ChangeLog.txt" I look onto my
favourite FTP mirror - works like a charme.

And for that look I don't need RSS.
