Here are some updates to provide a little holiday cheer. The kernels are
rebuilt (yeah, we'll probably have new ones tomorrow but whatever) to build in
HWMON making NVMe temperature monitoring available, and there's also a massive
cleanup of polkit/dbus related packages to move most of the config files out
of /etc and not install them as .new. Local config files that override the
shipped ones may be placed in the directories in /etc to override the ones that
we ship. Thanks to Robby Workman for this!
None of the packages included in Slackware place any files in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ or /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ any more, but there may be
third-party packages that still do. However, since Slackware's packages
originally installed these as .new files, the leftover configs will remain.
You'll probably want to take a look in those directories to clean out any
config files that you haven't modified yourself or that belong to packages that
aren't part of Slackware itself.
Hope everyone has a great day. :-)

extra/pure-alsa-system/*: Removed.
This served a purpose during the pure ALSA to PulseAudio transition, but
it's time for it to go away. If the latency is an issue for your use case,
a look around should turn up documentation on how to reduce it, or how to
send output directly to ALSA without having to uninstall PulseAudio or
recompile anything that's linked to it. As an example, see this one (which
was mentioned here before):

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!
The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Have fun! :-)

Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!
We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing. But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.

community.
