This is here for some actual testing - don't go just jumping into this one
all willy-nilly, especially if you're on 32-bit. The internal implementation
of some glibc functions has changed in ways that can break sandboxes that
restrict the allowable functions. So far this is known to affect
qt5-webengine and openssl, and in the case of openssl upgrading to this
version of glibc will lock out ssh access to the machine. I've seen one
mention of the openssh issue online as a comment posted to LWN's article
about the release of glibc-2.33. It says that a patch was submitted upstream,
but I haven't been able to locate a copy yet.
On the qt5 issue, alienBOB has given me a link to this patch:
09e1adb883/f/qtwebengine-everywhere-src-5.15.2-%231904652.patch
If anyone has a fix for openssl on 32-bit, kindly post it to LQ.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** NEW USERS/GROUPS SINCE 14.2 ***
|
|
|
|
cgred group, GID 41
|
|
dovecot user and group, UID and GID 94
|
|
dovenull user and group, UID and GID 95
|
|

|
|
*** 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. This did involve some
|
|
added options to rc.inet1.conf. Maybe best of all, /sbin/ifconfig can
|
|
still be used to view (and even configure) interfaces manually - any
|
|
additional IP addresses bound to interfaces using rc.inet1 will be done
|
|
in such a way that /sbin/ifconfig recognizes them.
|
|
|
|
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-5.10.14-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}.
