a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-60.txz: Rebuilt.
init: support having the cryptkey.bin keyfile in the initrd itself.
Thanks to kursu. I took this as the simplest patch, written in the closest to
the existing style. Honorable mention to Didier Spaier, opty, and RyNo (this
actually might be based on RyNo's patch) for providing alternative approaches
for consideration.
a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-23.txz: Rebuilt.
Clean up after --dry-run better (although this matters less now that we'll be
mounting a tmpfs on /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp). Thanks to Mechanikx.
While we're here, change tabs to spaces (only found in installpkg).
a/sysvinit-3.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/sysvinit-scripts-15.1-noarch-24.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.M: mount a tmpfs on /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp.
ap/man-db-2.13.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
man-db.{csh,sh}: export MANROFFOPT=-c to fix colors with most pager.
Thanks to eduardr.

x/fontconfig-2.15.0-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
60-latin.conf: Make Liberation Serif, Liberation Sans, and Liberation Mono
the preferred fonts, as they were in Slackware 15.0.
x/hack-fonts-ttf-3.003-noarch-4.txz: Rebuilt.
I like the Hack font, but I'm not sure that it's the best default for an all-
purpose monospace system font. So what we'll do is add a new file in
conf.avail called 58-hack-default-monospace.conf that if symlinked into
/etc/fonts/conf.d/ will make Hack the default monospace font.
I'm considering adding similar override .conf files for DejaVu and Noto.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-49.txz: Rebuilt.
setup.01.mkinitrd: removed KERNEL_SYMLINK option.
If a kernel is provided to geninitrd on the command line ($1), this will
always be the kernel used.
Thanks to Mechanikx.
Removed GENINITRD_SILENT option.
init: cap the size of /run to 25% of the system RAM since the previous
default of 32M is way too small for many purposes. I have seen other Linux
systems cap this at half the system RAM, but that seems to me a bit much.
/etc/default/geninitrd:
Added GENINITRD_OVERRIDE_SCRIPT which can be set to anything you like.
Support for hardcoded {/usr/local/sbin,/opt/sbin}/geninitrd was removed.
Added GENINITRD_DIALOG (do we want the dialog --infobox output?)
Added GENINITRD_COMMAND_OUTPUT (do we want to see command output?)
a/sysvinit-scripts-15.1-noarch-23.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.S: cap the size of /run to 25% of the system RAM.
l/gtk4-4.16.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Thanks to vladimir_vist for the suggestion,
and Robby Workman for the build script.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-29.txz: Rebuilt.
Support mounting additional partitions from the initrd - useful for anyone
still stuck with a separated /usr. ;-) Thanks to PiterPunk.
Ensure that the target directory exists before trying to copy a module into
it (workaround for coreutils 9.1 behavior change).
ap/vim-8.2.4830-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

a/btrfs-progs-4.20.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-9.txz: Rebuilt.
Automatically generate an initial ramdisk from the installer.
Added 'geninitrd' script to generate an initial ramdisk for the kernel that
/boot/vmlinuz-generic (and/or /boot/vmlinuz-generic-smp) points to.
ap/man-db-2.8.5-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Comment out all the options in /etc/profile.d/man-db.{csh,sh} and let the

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 14.0 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
