Well folks, we have some more interesting stuff in /testing now.
Our good friend LuckyCyborg posted a while back about our trials with
GRUB2, and that we were banging our heads against a wall for no reason
trying to bend GRUB2 with our 09_slackware_linux grub.d script instead
of changing our kernel/initrd naming scheme to vmlinux-6.10.1-generic
and initrd-6.10.1-generic.img. And, as is often the case, our friend is
exactly correct. Once we stopped trying to swim against the current, GRUB2
started behaving as it should.
The updates in /testing change the kernel naming scheme thusly, and modify
the geninitrd script in the mkinitrd package to also use this naming
scheme. And, of course, 09_slackware_linux is removed from GRUB2, and the
10_linux script is only lightly modified.
Because lilo and elilo work with the symlinks to the kernel and initrd,
they shouldn't care anout this change.
We've probably got 6.9.11 coming tomorrow. Unless I hear that I should stop
the presses on this change, it's likely that those kernels will be updated
using the new naming scheme and the mkinitrd and grub updates will be moved
into the main tree from /testing.
We'll stick with 6.9 in the main tree for now because I'm still encountering
suspend failure with the 6.10 kernel here.
Enjoy! :-)

  Remove 09_slackware_linux.
  10_linux: don't rename Slackware ;-)
  This should configure the renamed kernel/initrd perfectly.
  Perhaps 10_linux should no longer accept initrd.gz as a valid name?
  For now it is accepted to avoid disrupting existing workflows.

  Make compat symlinks by default.
  Always add LVM (I've seen it mistakenly skipped... if we can get to the
  bottom of that then we'll stop always adding it)
  Add /etc/default/geninitrd for configuration.

This is the source used for Slackware.

To look for a particular bit of source (let's say for 'cp'), first you would
look for the full path:

fuzzy:~# which cp
/bin/cp

Then, you grep for the package it came from. Note that the leading '/'
is removed, and ^ and $ mark the beginning and end of the pattern to match:

fuzzy:~# grep ^bin/cp$ /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/*
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/coreutils-9.0-x86_64-3:bin/cp

From this, you can see that 'cp' came from the coreutils-9.0-x86_64-3 package.
The source will be found in a corresponding subdirectory. In this case, that
would be ./a/coreutils/.

All of these packages have scripts that extract, patch, and compile the source
automatically. These are the 'SlackBuild' scripts.

Have fun!
