This file documents the instructions for upgrading to Slackware -current, the
|
|
packages added, removed, renamed, and/or split during the development cycle
|
|
from Slackware 14.2 through -current, and some potential "gotchas" that users
|
|
can avoid by arming themselves with a little knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADING FROM 14.2 ***
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions detailed in the UPGRADE.TXT located in this
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Note that upgrading from a Slackware version earlier than 14.2 is NOT
|
|
supported at all and will most likely not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|

*** NOTABLE CHANGES AND HINTS ***
|
|
|
|
User authentication is PAM-based now; in short, Slackware ships PAM.
|
|
The out-of-the-box configuration should be exactly what you expect
|
|
from Slackware. Enjoy.
|
|
|
|
The stock networking scripts now use iproute2 instead of net-tools and
|
|
bridge-utils and friends. All of the previous functionality is still
|
|
supported with the same config file syntax in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf,
|
|
but added functionality includes:
|
|
- support for creating virtual interfaces (e.g. tun/tap) and adding
|
|
them to bridges as well as binding additional IP addresses to
|
|
virtual and/or real interfaces
|
|
- VLAN (802.1Q) support
|
|
- Link Aggregation (bonding) support
|
|
- IPv6 support
|
|
The added functionality required some additional options and changes
|
|
to the format of rc.inet1.conf, but for basic configurations, you can
|
|
still use /sbin/ifconfig to view and/or configure interfaces manually.
|
|
For IPv6 support, note that SLAAC is now disabled by default (the
|
|
rationale is that a newly installed machine should not have internet
|
|
connectivity without admin intervention) - see the USE_SLAAC config
|
|
parameter in the new rc.inet1.conf file.
|
|
|
|
The ntp package has changed such that ntpd now drops privileges and runs as
|
|
user ntp and group ntp. Be sure to move/merge the changes to rc.ntpd and
|
|
/etc/ntp.conf.
|
|
|
|
The gnupg2 package has changed such that the gpg agent is autostarted on
|
|
demand now, so be sure to remove any local profile script changes to
|
|
handle that. Also, there is a new keyring format used by gnupg2-2.2.x,
|
|
so have a look at https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#keybox
|
|
for migration tips.
|
|
|
|
n/postfix replaces n/sendmail as the default MTA.
|
|
However, postfix is sendmail compatible with respect to function; in
|
|
other words, any scripts or other applications expecting to *use*
|
|
sendmail should work just fine, as postfix installs a sendmail binary
|
|
at /usr/sbin/sendmail. This is all fine and wonderful unless you want
|
|
to use sendmail *instead* of postfix and thus decided to leave sendmail
|
|
installed on the system. The postfix package will overwrite the
|
|
/usr/sbin/sendmail file on the system. Long story short: if you plan
|
|
to use the sendmail MTA instead of postfix, you will need to reinstall
|
|
sendmail after postfix. Many distros provide a means of having both MTAs
|
|
(and even others, such as exim and courier) installed at the same time,
|
|
but we don't see a reason to bother with that. If for some reason you
|
|
DO want both:
|
|
1: First, install the MTA you do NOT plan to use
|
|
2. Rename the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary with a suffix, e.g.
|
|
# mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
|
|
3: Next, install the MTA you DO plan to use
|
|
Finally, you might want to configure the first-installed MTA to look at
|
|
the changed path for its sendmail binary. We're not going to cover that
|
|
here. Also note that only one of the installed MTAs will be able to bind
|
|
the common SMTP ports, if you want to have both MTAs running.
|
|
|
|
The cciss driver has been replaced by the hpsa driver, so if you're
|
|
running an HP server, this may be relevant to you. This is mostly an
|
|
issue with respect to device references -- if you have references to
|
|
/dev/cciss/* in e.g. /etc/fstab and/or /etc/smartd.conf, you'll need
|
|
to fix those. Reference: https://tinyurl.com/cciss-hpsa
|
|
|
|
The default location for packaged dbus configs and polkit rules are now
|
|
/usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/ and /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ ; as such,
|
|
all packaged files have been moved to those locations. If you upgraded
|
|
from 14.2, you will have the previous copies of those still inside
|
|
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ (as they used to be
|
|
installed with .new suffixes). The upgrade process will not (and should
|
|
not) automatically remove those, as the locations in /etc are intended
|
|
to override the locations in /usr/share, and it's possible that the
|
|
system administrator had edited the files in /etc and intends for those
|
|
edits to be persistent. If that does not apply, *and* the files remaining
|
|
in there were not installed by non-stock packages, you may remove the
|
|
dbus configs and polkit rules files in the /etc locations.
|
|
|
|
elogind now manages cgroups (cgmanager is removed), so the leftover files
|
|
at /etc/rc.d/rc.cgmanager and /etc/rc.d/rc.cgproxy should be removed.
|
|
|
|
Use one of the provided generic kernels for daily use. Do not report
|
|
bugs until/unless you have reproduced them using one of the stock
|
|
generic kernels. You will need to create an initrd in order to boot
|
|
the generic kernels - see /boot/README.initrd for instructions.
|
|
The huge kernels are primarily intended as "installer" and "emergency"
|
|
kernels in case you forget to make an initrd. For most systems, you
|
|
should use the generic SMP kernel if it will run, even if your system is
|
|
not SMP-capable. Some newer hardware needs the local APIC enabled in the
|
|
SMP kernel, and theoretically there should not be a performance penalty
|
|
with using the SMP-capable kernel on a uniprocessor machine, as the SMP
|
|
kernel tests for this and makes necessary adjustments. Furthermore, the
|
|
kernel sources shipped with Slackware are configured for SMP usage, so you
|
|
won't have to modify those to build external modules (such as NVidia or
|
|
ATI proprietary drivers) if you use the SMP kernel.
|
|
|
|
If you decide to use one of the non-SMP kernels, you will need to follow the
|
|
instructions in /extra/linux-5.13.9-nosmp-sdk/README.TXT to modify your
|
|
kernel sources for non-SMP usage. Note that this only applies if you are
|
|
using the Slackware-provided non-SMP kernel - if you build a custom kernel,
|
|
the symlinks at /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/{build,source} will point to the
|
|
correct kernel source so long as you don't (re)move it.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the resolution of the KMS console, that can be done
|
|
with something like this as a kernel append in lilo.conf:
|
|
append="video=1024x768"
|
|
|
|
Speaking of lilo.conf and KMS, make sure you use either vga=normal or
|
|
vga=extended -- some of the framebuffers don't like KMS very much...
|
|
|
|
If you have set up an encrypted root partition, you will need to have access
|
|
to your keyboard in order to type the passphrase. This may require you to
|
|
add the uhci-hcd and usbhid modules to your initrd image if you have a USB
|
|
keyboard. Also note that if you are using a non-US keyboard, you can use the
|
|
'-l' parameter to the 'mkinitrd' command in order to add support for this
|
|
keyboard to your initrd.
|
|
|
|
Subpixel hinting in freetype has been enabled upstream by default, but you
|
|
may adjust this in /etc/profile.d/freetype.{csh,sh}.
