This is because the latest (1.5) release doesn't work for +everybody. + +Starting with version 1.5, xcowsay requires a compositing window manager +that supports alpha channels. This build is for version 1.4, the last +one which works correctly with traditional window managers such as +WindowMaker or FVWM. Version 1.4 also works fine in environments where +1.5 would work. If you *really* want version 1.5, download its source +to the SlackBuild's directory and build it with a command like: + +# VERSION=1.5 BUILD=1 TAG=_custom ./xcowsay.SlackBuild + +Hopefully, some future version of xcowsay will make the compositing +support optional (and maybe even autodetected), so this script can be +updated to track new xcowsay releases again. |
