With a few upstream patches to fix some regressions in the release, we no

l/qt5-5.15.3_20210826_21ea9c12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Switched to the patched qt5 from https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qt5.git.
Huge thanks to Heinz Wiesinger for the script to create a release tarball.
Likely this fixes many security issues.

x/libglvnd-1.3.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Reverted to this version because changes to the header files won't allow the
EGL portions of Qt to properly compile.

a/etc-15.0-x86_64-9.txz: Rebuilt.

installpkg: prevent noise from the "stray cat" if tar hands it a broken
pipe. Thanks to ivandi.
Also (in the comments) provide a possibly better but untested solution.
Thanks to SeB.
a/sysvinit-2.90-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
sysvinit-2.90 added an undocumented feature that tries to spawn agetty
if it sees console= in the kernel command line. Avoiding the debate about
whether this code belongs in init at all, at least such a change should
be documented, and probably made opt-in. This patch disables the new
behavior unless "sysvinit_agetty" is also seen in the kernel command line.
It seems like this might have been something added for Hurd, and it might
be wise to stick to what we've got rather than following upstream on this
particular package. If anyone notices any other odd behavior, please let
me know. Thanks to shastah.
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-19.txz: Rebuilt.
When checking for intel_pstate, direct the stderr to /dev/null in case
the file doesn't exist in /sys. Thanks to ivandi.
Allow forcing an option by editing /etc/default/cpufreq.

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! :-)
