a/eudev-3.2.5-x86_64-4.txz: Upgraded.
More bugs, unreplaced macros, and systemd-specific stuff have been found in

would merit closely following the bleeding edge on this one, we'll revert
back to eudev-3.2.5 which worked fine.

This update fixes security issues:
There was a long-existing flaw in the documentation for ms-self, krb5-self,
ms-subdomain, and krb5-subdomain rules in update-policy statements. Though
the policies worked as intended, operators who configured their servers
according to the misleading documentation may have thought zone updates were
more restricted than they were; users of these rule types are advised to
review the documentation and correct their configurations if necessary. New
rule types matching the previously documented behavior will be introduced in
a future maintenance release.
named could crash during recursive processing of DNAME records when
deny-answer-aliases was in use. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5740.

A potentially exploitable crash in TransportSecurityInfo used for SSL
can be triggered by data stored in the local cache in the user profile
directory. This issue is only exploitable in combination with another
vulnerability allowing an attacker to write data into the local cache
or from locally installed malware. This issue also triggers a
non-exploitable startup crash for users switching between the Nightly
and Release versions of Firefox if the same profile is used.

a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-20.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.6: it was reported by birdboy that JFS is not properly unmounted unless
the order of unmounting local filesystems followed by remounting the root
filesystem read-only is inverted. I tried that, and although it did get rid
of a "/ filesystem is busy" error during shutdown, the JFS / filesystem was
still checked at boot (and found to be clean). I believe that the existing
order of unmounting non-root filesystems followed by remounting the root
filesystem as read-only is the correct order, and found that putting
another sync between these also gets rid of the error on shutdown, so I've
done that. When using JFS as the root filesystem there's still another
similar error message that's generated earlier in the boot, though. I'm
unable to find any way to shut down a JFS root partition in a way that
leaves it clean enough that fsck will not check it at boot, but it is always
found to be clean so this should only be cosmetic. I recall this behavior of
JFS going all the way back to when it was first added to the kernel. If
anyone has a better fix, I'll take a look at it, but in my opinion it's not
really anything to worry about.

Use the ter-114v terminus font. It has been reported that the font we were
using (ter-v14v) restricts the available console colors from 16 to 8 due
to needing an extra bit for the higher number of available glyphs (though
in testing here I couldn't see any difference). The new font covers
ISO8859-1, ISO8859-15, and Windows-1252 codepages. I'm still not sure it's
the best choice, so additional input is welcomed.

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.

able to access the related API without authentication. The result was an
unspecified impact on the networking stack.
Thanks to Matthias Gerstner for discovering this issue.

testing/packages/glibc-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
These packages are in /testing pending FTBFS analysis. They seem to work
fine here, but with a few header file deprecations and some other
possible API changes and incompatibilities (see the NEWS file), I expect
there will be some changes required to various packages. Feel free to
test them out though. Because of changes to the way glibc is built and
installed that started with the glibc-2.27 packages, you can upgrade to
these packages and also (if you wish) downgrade back to glibc-2.27 using
upgradepkg.

Hey folks, my first order of business here needs to be a huge thank you to
everyone who has donated at https://paypal.me/volkerdi to help keep this
project going. As most of you are already aware by now, the financal situation
here at Slackware HQ has not been great for many years, including not getting
any pay for the last two years and forcing me (and my family) to live very
frugally while I continued to work on the project hoping I'd figure out a way
to actually monitize it by the time that Slackware 15.0 is ready for release.
I'm not trying to cast any blame regarding the situation. Really, I can only
blame myself for not trying to build my own ship years ago when things began
to not really work out. I'm still looking into sustainable funding options
such as Patreon or Liberapay (or perhaps both), and I'm open to other ideas.
I'm no longer in immediate danger of going broke, and I'm no longer
entertaining the notion of joining my friends at the local potato chip factory
in order to pay my bills. :) My family is grateful and humbled by the support
we've received. Hope we'll be able to keep this project going for a long time.
Also, I realize that the website lacks updates and needs attention and I will
need to find some time to devote to that. I've never been much of a website
designer, and the slackware.com site is basically left over from work done by
former Walnut Creek / BSDi employees. I've never seen able to make much sense
of the SQL backend. The interface to edit and post articles is clunky (and
I'm not sure the PHP for that even works any more). When I've posted articles
in recent years, I've done so by editing the main page already processed from
PHP into HTML, which is pretty darn messy as I'm sure you can imagine. I tend
to prioritize the distribution itself over other demands on my time - that's
clearly a lot to do with how things ended up the way they did.
So, I guess that's the report for now. Lots more work to do and not enough
time to do it in... that part I don't see changing moving forward. :)
Thanks very much again. I'll do my best to keep you all posted.
- Pat

Autobind secondary GPUs to the master as output sink / offload source. This
seems like a beneficial patch until/unless DEs start to handle this.
For nvidia cards, if they are GeForce 8 or newer use the modesetting driver
by default. Seems to be recommmended by upstream where they indicate that
fixes going into nouveau are primarily to target older cards for legacy
support and that the modesetting ddx is preferable for newer ones:

Happy 25th anniversary to the Slackware 1.00 release! When the original
announcement went out on Usenet, I believe it had a UTC timestamp which has
led to some confusion over whether the anniversary falls on the 16th (which
was the date when I made the post) or on the 17th (which is when most people
first saw it)... but really, what's the difference? We can celebrate on both
days as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sticking with the project all these
years. Glad I was able to help. :)

Revert to the previous working version of lvm2. Based on the comments
in the release notes for version 2.02.178, perhaps it would be prudent
to sit out the next year and a half of planned instability. I can't
recall ever _needing_ to upgrade LVM (the version number has been on
2.02.x for well over a decade)... let's avoid being beta testers as
upstream refactors everything.

testing/packages/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-20.txz: Rebuilt.
This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here
first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there
are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the
slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's
another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update
is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
/var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
(later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs
that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log,
but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be
considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or
symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them
as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the
old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old
locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this
moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new
installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer
and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg
is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float
that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid
more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users.
Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even
so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still
work through the compatibility symlinks.

(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! :-)

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.
