a/efivar-36-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.
a/elilo-3.16-x86_64-7.txz:  Rebuilt.
a/glibc-solibs-2.27-x86_64-4.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Don't restart init in the install script, let rc.6 handle it.
a/haveged-1.9.2-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.

  setup.services: add support for rc.atd and rc.crond
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-10.txz:  Rebuilt.
  rc.6: restart init when shutting down - this prevents it from holding file
  handles to removed/upgraded versions of the glibc shared libraries which
  would interfere with shutdown.

  rc.M: start rc.atd and rc.crond
  rc.M: don't remove cron tempfiles (moved to /run/cron)
  rc.S: start rc.haveged

README.TXT Slackware 14.0 2018-05-31 22:51:55 +02:00

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:

fuzzy:~# grep bin/cp /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/cpio-2.4.2.91-i386-1:bin/cpio
/var/log/packages/fileutils-4.1-i386-2:bin/cp
/var/log/packages/gcc-2.95.3-i386-2:usr/bin/cpp
/var/log/packages/gnome-applets-1.4.0.5-i386-1:usr/bin/cpumemusage_applet


From this, you can see that 'cp' came from the fileutils-4.1-i386-2 package.
The source will be found in a corresponding subdirectory.  In this case, that
would be ./a/bin.   Don't be fooled into thinking that the _bin.tar.gz in this
directory is the package with the source code -- anything starting with '_' is
just a framework package full of empty files with the correct permissions and 
ownerships for the completed package to use.

Many of these packages now have scripts that untar, patch, and compile the
source automatically.  These are the 'SlackBuild' scripts.  Moving back to the
example above, you can figure out which package the bin/cp source came from by
examining the SlackBuild script.

Have fun!
