Hi

I have an updated text for the 
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-slackware.html page. The first 
URL on that page (slacky.eu) no longer updates their VLC package. My 
own packages were listed below that and because of the word 
"unofficial" many people did not dare to use them.

With the anticipated 0.9.9 and due to the fact that the current git 
snapshots work very well for me I made vlc 0.9.x the primary version 
in my repository and moved the 0.8.x packages to "vlc_old" - the new 
page reflects that as well and mentions a fast mirror too.

I hope you will implement the change.

Cheers, Eric
