Clearly we're going to have to trend more carefully for things to settle down,
so consider this RC2 and a much harder freeze. A test mass rebuild was done
here and there are no more "fails to build from source" remaining (thanks to
nobodino for some amazing and relentless testing).
a/exfatprogs-1.1.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/lxc-4.0.11-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Added some additional packages to the lxc-slackware template:
bridge-utils, dbus, iptables, libnl3, libpcap.
Thanks to linux91 for the hints.
ap/qpdf-10.4.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/python-docutils-0.17.1-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Revert to this version for now since 0.18 isn't compatible with Sphinx.
Thanks to HQuest.
l/python-markdown-3.3.4-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Reverted this to fix the Samba build. The newer versions of Markdown require
importlib_metadata and zipp, and adding these also fixes the build, but oddly
the installed PKG-INFO shows version 0.0.0, which I suspect is more breakage
going on with setuptools. I've tried rebuilding all other Python modules here
to see if a more general breakage had crept in somehow, but those are the
only two Python modules I've found that exhibit this issue, and I've found
other similar reports (but no fixes). Markdown-3.3.4 seems to be the safe bet
for now.
n/bind-9.16.23-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
x/libdrm-2.4.107-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Reverted to 2.4.107 as 2.4.108 does not seem to be completely compatible with
xorg-server-1.20.13. Fixes xf86-video-vmware failing to build from source.
Thanks to nobodino.
a/sdparm-1.12-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Recompiled against sg3_utils-1.47.

Recompiled against sg3_utils-1.47.
ap/lxc-4.0.11-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Requires libseccomp-2.5.3.
No more local versions of rc.{6,S,M,inet1}: the regular versions work now.
l/elfutils-0.186-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/libgpod-0.8.3-x86_64-11.txz: Rebuilt.

Shared library .so-version bump.
n/network-scripts-15.0-noarch-17.txz: Rebuilt.
Merged changes in rc.inet1 to make it compatible with LXC containers.
Patched netconfig to ensure the proper permissions on rc.networkmanager
when NetworkManager is not chosen.

Make sure all initial devices are properly created.
Fix accidental handling of rc.lxc as a modified-for-lxc init script.
Thanks to crts.

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! :-)
