New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to

patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.9e-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Support opt-in use of Huffman encoding only for SSH compression, to mitigate
possible chosen-plaintext attack against concurrent channels sharing same
SSH connection.
