title: 'Orphaning my SlackBuilds'
---

I announce hereby that I am stopping my contributions to the 
**SlackBuilds** repository and, therefore, any **SlackBuilds** I used 
to maintain are to be considered orphaned.

If you use any of my build scripts, you need not fear, for these are 
being adopted by other maintainers as I write these lines.

The reason why I am ceasing my involvement with the **SlackBuilds** 
team is that I have ceased being a **Slackware** user(!). I still think 
**Slackware** is a worthy distribution and with both the main 
developers and the **SlackBuilds** maintainers my best wishes.
