ap/slackpkg-15.0.8-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
Author: piterpunk <piterpunk@slackware.com>
To make it easier to do an unattended slackpkg update/upgrade process,
this commit provides different exit codes for many situations:
0 Successful slackpkg execution.
1 Something wrong happened.
20 No package found to be downloaded, installed, reinstalled,
upgraded, or removed.
50 Slackpkg itself was upgraded and you need to re-run it.
100 There are pending updates.
Code and the main manpage are updated accordingly.
In addition, this commit also:
- removes the ChangeLog.txt in doinst.sh, so the needed
'slackpkg update' after Slackpkg upgrade won't say it's all OK
and doesn't need to redo the package lists
- removes AUTHORS from manpage. Nowadays there is code from many
people in Slackpkg and it seems a bit unfair to have only my and
Evaldo's name listed there.

Let's enable SCHED_AUTOGROUP, which should improve desktop latency under a
heavy CPU load while being mostly inert on servers. It may be disabled at
boot time with a "noautogroup" kernel parameter, or at runtime like this:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
Thanks to gbschenkel.

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,
libgmodule-2.0.so.0.6600.6, libgobject-2.0.so.0.6600.6,
libgthread-2.0.so.0.6600.6.
Added: libtirpc.so.3.0.0.

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!

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! :-)
