Saint Patrick was a gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland
Here's toasting to his health -
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself, and then,
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.

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.

same font directories when those utilities are run. In that case, the
other package will also be running mkfontdir/mkfontscale after the files
are installed, so any issues will be cleaned up then. Last one out turn

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! :-)

Slackware 14.1 x86_64 stable is released!
It's been another interesting release cycle here at Slackware bringing
new features like support for UEFI machines, updated compilers and
development tools, the switch from MySQL to MariaDB, and many more
improvements throughout 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.

Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!
We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing. But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. The Slackware team, the
upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user
community.
Have fun! :-)
