Slackware 13.0slackware-13.0
Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009 Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing things and offering suggestions during this development cycle. As always, have fun and enjoy! -P.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+gdb: gdb (the GNU symbolic debugger)
+gdb: GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on
+gdb: inside another program while it executes -- or what another program
+gdb: was doing at the moment it crashed. GDB can do four main kinds of
+gdb: things to help you catch bugs in the act: 1) Start your program,
+gdb: specifying anything that might affect its behavior. 2) Make your
+gdb: program stop on specified conditions. 3) Examine what has happened,
+gdb: when your program has stopped. 4) Change things in your program, so
+gdb: you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on
+gdb: to learn about another. The program being debugged can be written in
+gdb: Ada, C, C++, Objective-C, Pascal and many other languages.
