a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-39.txz: Rebuilt.
upgradepkg: revert change where $ROOT/sbin/installpkg is called instead of
/sbin/installpkg. Conceptually, this seemed like a nice change (but would
have also required removepkg to be called the same way), but it seems to
break an established expectation that the pkgtools can be used without them
actually being installed in $ROOT. Thanks to alienBOB.
a/sysvinit-scripts-15.0-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Use #!/bin/bash for these scripts so that bashisms don't cause script issues
if /bin/sh is some other shell. Thanks to mumahendras3.
rc.S: Use GazL's proposals for detecting/mounting /proc and /sys.

Applied some patches that other distributions have been using for a while:
Fix glamor so that the return value from glamor_fds_from_pixmap matches
what's expected (thanks to Darth Vader for pointing out these patches).
Autobind secondary GPUs to the master as output sink / offload source. This
seems like a beneficial patch until/unless DEs start to handle this.
For nvidia cards, if they are GeForce 8 or newer use the modesetting driver
by default. Seems to be recommmended by upstream where they indicate that
fixes going into nouveau are primarily to target older cards for legacy
support and that the modesetting ddx is preferable for newer ones:

Use ter-v14v.psf.gz as the consolefont. It supports more character sets, and
the larger font was causing wraparound on UEFI (at least on bare metal here).

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! :-)
