x/libgee-0.20.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/aaa_elflibs-15.0-x86_64-30.txz: Removed.
Renamed to aaa_libraries.
a/aaa_glibc-solibs-2.32-x86_64-2.txz: Added.
This package has been renamed from glibc-solibs, which helps avoid trouble
if someone upgrades using "upgradepkg --install-new */*.txz" by upgrading
this package before aaa_libraries. Otherwise, if aaa_libraries is upgraded
first any libraries in it that are linked against a newer version of glibc
than the one installed on the system would refuse to load.
a/aaa_libraries-15.0-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This package has been renamed from aaa_elflibs to insure that it will come
after aaa_glibc-solibs when upgraded in alphabetical order.
Upgraded: libcap.so.2.48, libelf-0.183.so, libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.6,

a/kernel-huge-5.10.14-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-modules-5.10.14-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/slackpkg-15.0-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
These are some of the important changes (see the ChangeLog for more):
Note that this slackpkg release contains a backwards-incompatible change to
the blacklisting syntax (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior
behavior of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al to be
ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the glibc package is
ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages whose names begin with glibc,
you would need to add "glibc.*" to the blacklist now. Also note that any
special characters, e.g. "+", will need to be escaped in the blacklist file.
To blacklist entire package sets, a trailing slash is now required: e.g. kde/
Another backwards-incompatibility warning: check-updates will now return 1 if
there are updates available - this will make it easier to use this feature
with cron (thanks to Peter Hyman).
Added support for Slackware-AArch64 (thanks to Stuart Winter).
Added aaa_glibc-solibs and aaa_libraries to the "do these first" routine.
Thanks to Robby Workman for the new slackpkg release!

installpkg: rarely, an uncompressed size that's not quite to the next level
(e.g., 1020K) will exceed the expected length and cause a --terse line to
be one character longer than --terselength. Chop lines to --terselength
before outputting them. The trailing ']' might be dropped, but no big deal.
ap/slackpkg-2.83.0-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
Release 2.83.0; thanks to orbea, Didier Spaier, burdi01, David Allen,
Eduard Rozenberg, and Stuart Winter for various fixes and enhancements.
Allow using vimdiff to compare .new and original files
Numerous fixups for alternate $ROOT
.new config files are sorted so that display order should be consistent
among multiple machines
Abort operation if system date is near epoch (mostly relevant for ARM
machines and others with no RTC)
Update Slackware ARM gpg key
Update Slackware ARM mirror list
No longer offer to run lilo - simply advise user that the kernel image has
changed and give advice, but also require a keypress to (hopefully) confirm
that the message was actually read
mandoc lint fixes to slackpkg.8
Warn user if a -current mirror is selected (but only warn once)

Allow setting an interface in promiscuous mode; this is needed for networking
to function properly in containers
Fixup setting of IPALIASES (allow non /32 masks; not only is the /32 mask not
required and even undesirable in some cases, this makes ipv6 support easier
to integrate (and Darren is working on that as well)
Thanks to Darren Austin.

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! :-)
