a/less-668-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
I have tried to like the lesspipe.sh from https://github.com/wofr06 since it
was switched to about 6 months ago, but it's just not working out here --
trying to look at fontconfig *.conf files was the last straw for me. So, I'm
changing lesspipe.sh back to the Slackware version (less is more ;-). The
lesspipe-wofr06.sh will still be included (and in fact it was upgraded to
lesspipe-2.16), so if you prefer it feel free to relink to it.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating, and happy Thursday to everyone
else. I've been looking at this new fontconfig (and have run into some of the
terrible looking pages I remembered from previous attempts to upgrade). The
solution is certainly *not* to disable bitmap fonts. I need those in my
terminal emulator, and have never seen a vector font that looks correct. What
I've done this time is make the defaults for fontconfig sane and user
configurable, and then converted the two bitmap fonts that are causing the
problems to OTB format and changing the family name from "name" to "name (OTB)"
which prevents them from being picked up by default.
Hope this looks better! Cheers! :-)

testing/packages/libxml2-2.12.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Hey folks, I'm in need of a bit of assistance here. I've had libxml2 on the
back burner for quite some time now in spite of yet-another variation of
the old "billion laughs" resource exhaustion attack that's been supposedly
fixed. The issue I'm running into with newer versions of libxml2 is that
the rewrite rules for mapping external entities to files on the system no
longer work, and I'm not sure why that is. For a quick demonstration,
upgrade to this libxml2 package and then try to build glib2. You'll see
xsltproc called to generate documentation such as the man pages, but it isn't
able to find the entity locally and fails due to --nonet.
I'll be keeping an eye on LQ if anyone has any hints. Thanks!

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! :-)

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
