The answers I received here were quite adequate for my needs.

I wasn't aware that they have a mailing list, but then I don't have the 
time nor energy to chase all over the web's half-acres to dig out that 
level of detail. Of course, a note on the repository page that they are 
currently transitioning to a new Slackware release would have saved 
several of us the time to teach me this. Now, it appears that I need to 
start preparing for a significant update to all of my systems, but I can 
probably hold off on setting up the new PowerEdge until the next release 
is available. That's where I needed PostgreSQL 9.5 in the first place.

Thank you,
