Hi Thomas, I am currently working on the slackbuild for the new 4.5 series which will be available on slackbuilds.org (where the 4.4 have been made available). I was waiting for thing to settle a bit but was also thinking of waiting for the new slackware to come out before releasing the 4.5 version as it is a major change in the way the packages are organised. I will make them available through github if I don't release them for 13.37.
