  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.

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!
