  Make sure that the API-CHANGES file is included in the package documentation.

x/xorg-server-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Applied some patches that other distributions have been using for a while:
  Fix glamor so that the return value from glamor_fds_from_pixmap matches
  what's expected (thanks to Darth Vader for pointing out these patches).
  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:

x/xorg-server-xephyr-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.

isolinux/initrd.img:  Rebuilt.
  Use ter-v14v.psf.gz as the consolefont. It supports more character sets, and
  the larger font was causing wraparound on UEFI (at least on bare metal here).
kernels/*:  Upgraded.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img:  Rebuilt.

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!
