Slackware 12.1 is released as -stable. :-) Again, huge thanks to everybody
who pitched in and helped with bug reports, patches, testing, suggestions,
other comments, and everything else. Without this valuable input, Slackware
would be nowhere near what it is today. Special thanks to the CREW, to the
people developing and testing for slackbuilds.org (where many of Slackware's
future additions are first built and tested), and to everyone on
linuxquestions.org, various #slackware or ##slackware IRC channels, other
Slackware related web sites, and other places where the community shares their
needs and concerns with the team. On behalf of everyone here, thanks.
We think you'll enjoy this new release, and hope that you'll find it to be
much more than 0.1 better than Slackware 12.0. ;-)
Have fun! -P.
extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-2.70.3-noarch-2.tgz: Updated the version in the
slackpkg script from 2.70.2 to 2.70.3.
+--------------------------+
Wed Apr 30 20:36:48 CDT 2008
12.1 RC4. We think this should be the last one.
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.5-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix a security issue in
fs/dnotify.c. The use of dnotify (largely replaced by inotify on 2.6.x
systems) could lead to a local DoS, or possibly a local root hole. We said
we wouldn't make changes now unless something was "critical" -- and it seems
we got what we wished for. ;-) This flaw will also be addressed in the
kernels for previous releases as soon as possible. The patch itself may be
found in source/k/linux-2.6.24.5-CVE-2008-1375-patch/.
For additional information (when the CVE candidate is opened), see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1375
All the kernel packages below should also be considered security fixes.

We'll call this Slackware 12.1 RC3, and freeze the tree for anything that
isn't critical. Things seem very stable, so it's probably a good idea to
save any further upgrades and additions until -current restarts.
a/cups-1.3.7-i486-2.tgz: Applied patch str2790 to fix crash bugs in the PNG
image filter. The issues are not believed to be capable of either a DoS (at
worst, it simply crashes the filter processing the current job and does not
crash the scheduler daemon, which just moves on to the next job in the print
queue), nor arbitrary code execution (data from the image is never stored in
the affected tile array). Still, it seems to be worth fixing here just in
case. The CUPS bug report may be found here:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2790
ap/mysql-5.0.51b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.51b (which appears to be
nothing more than a version bump...)
l/imlib-1.9.15-i486-3.tgz: Patched to fix rendering issues on Intel and
possibly other graphics chipsets. Thanks to Iain Paton.
l/libmtp-0.2.6.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libmtp-0.2.6.1. The udev rules are
now sed processed during build. Thanks much to Joerg Germeroth. :-)
l/libpng-1.2.27-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to libpng-1.2.27.
This fixes various bugs, the most important of which have to do with the
handling of unknown chunks containing zero-length data. Processing a PNG
image that contains these could cause the application using libpng to crash
(possibly resulting in a denial of service), could potentially expose the
contents of uninitialized memory, or could cause the execution of arbitrary
code as the user running libpng (though it would probably be quite difficult
to cause the execution of attacker-chosen code). We recommend upgrading the
package as soon as possible.

/etc/issue, and made some edits to other documentation within the installer.

x/pixman-0.10.0-i486-4.tgz: Restored MMX optimizations, which should fix the
issues some machines were having with slow Flash playback.
Thanks very much to Zielony for getting me to take a closer look at this. :-)
+--------------------------+
Fri Apr 25 23:09:23 CDT 2008
kde/kdelibs-3.5.9-i486-4.tgz: Patched to fix a security problem.
From the KDE advisory: "If start_kdeinit is installed as setuid root, a
local user might be able to send unix signals to other processes, cause
a denial of service or even possibly execute arbitrary code."
This issue affects KDE 3.5.5 through KDE 3.5.9.
We recommend upgrading to the new kdelibs package as soon as possible.

broken symlinks in /. Thanks to Corrado "Conraid" Franco for the report.
n/wireless-tools-29-i486-3.tgz: Increased the sleep time after bringing up an
interface to 3 seconds, since some of the new drivers need the additional
time to fully initialize. Thanks to bstrik on LQ.
extra/jdk-6/jdk-6u6-i586-3.tgz: Adjusted the installation script to fix an
issue causing broken symlinks in /.
Thanks to Corrado "Conraid" Franco for the report.
isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed (hopefully) the last remaining "12.0" version
number (this one found in /etc/issue).
Thanks to Franck Barbenoire for spotting it.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Fixed the "12.0" version number in usbboot.img.
+--------------------------+
Mon Apr 21 16:47:32 CDT 2008
We have now reached the Slackware 12.1 RC2 milestone. :-) We're beyond
updating packages or fixing minor cosmetic bugs at this point (actually, we
had hoped to be past that with RC1, but there were still items in need of
attention). What we have here now has proven to be stable for our testers,
so unless some real showstoppers are found we'll be releasing this as Slackware
12.1-final soon.

Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 SMP kernel modules.
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-7.tgz: Removed obsolete modem setup script (any
/dev/modem symlink would be wiped out by udev anyway).

xap/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-3.tgz: Recompiled, with --without-speex (we didn't
ship the speex library in Slackware anyway, but for reference this issue
would be CVE-2008-1686), and with --disable-nosefart (the recently reported
as insecurely demuxed NSF format).
As before in -2, this package fixes the two regressions mentioned in the
release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=592185&group_id=9655
Moving to xine-lib-1.1.12 right now doesn't seem prudent for RC2, as the
diff between 1.1.11.1 and 1.1.12 is many thousands of lines long.

some minor errors. Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the patch.
tcl/tclx-8.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. Since some of the Tcl/Tk headers are now
considered "private", this needs -I flags to compile (for now).

ap/ghostscript-8.62-i486-5.tgz: Edited /usr/share/ghostscript/8.62/lib/cidfmap
to attempt support for Simplified Chinese (though Traditional Chinese and
Korean will still require cidfmap changes and additional fonts).
Thanks to ABE Shin-ichi for providing the cidfmap that the new one is based
upon. Any errors in the new cidfmap are most likely my own...

Fixed typos at the top of example .mc files. Thanks to Bart Dumon.
Clamp down on security in the defaults some more by requiring authentication
when using the TLS/SASL .mc/.cf. Allow SSLv3 in both TLS configurations.
Thanks to Leonardo Roman.
n/sendmail-cf-8.14.2-noarch-2.tgz
x/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.0,
which adds support for RV620, RV635, and R680 chipsets, and 2D acceleration
for R5xx (including RS6xx) chipsets, both XAA and EXA. This driver also
enables the use of the second digital output on the RS690 chipset.

The kernels were recompiled to add the experimental CONFIG_PATA_MARVELL option,
since some newer Intel motherboards are already using this chipset. Like
everything else, use it at your own risk. It was decided that having some
driver that was tested and found to work was better than no support at all.

Mon Apr 7 12:25:10 CDT 2008
a/aaa_elflibs-12.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Added libfuse. Updated libbz2 (which still
has the shared library name "libbz2.so.1.0.4").
a/bzip2-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bzip2-1.0.5.
Previous versions of bzip2 contained a buffer overread error that could cause
applications linked to libbz2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1372
(* Security fix *)
a/cryptsetup-1.0.5-i486-3.tgz: Make cryptsetup in /sbin and /usr/sbin both
symlinks to /sbin/cryptsetup.static. This prevents "cryptsetup" failure if
someone installs only the A package series. Thanks to Piter Punk.
ap/cdrtools-2.01.01a38-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cdrtools-2.01.01a38.
ap/dvd+rw-tools-7.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-7.1.
ap/ghostscript-8.62-i486-4.tgz: Fixed cidfmap for printing with the
wqy-zenhei.ttf font. Thanks to ABE Shin-ichi.
d/m4-1.4.11-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.11.
In addition to bugfixes and enhancements, this version of m4 also fixes two
issues with possible security implications. A minor security fix with the
use of "maketemp" and "mkstemp" -- these are now quoted to prevent the
(rather unlikely) possibility that an unquoted string could match an
existing macro causing operations to be done on the wrong file. Also,
a problem with the '-F' option (introduced with version 1.4) could cause a
core dump or possibly (with certain file names) the execution of arbitrary
code. For more information on these issues, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1687
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1688
(* Security fix *)
n/iptables-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to iptables-1.4.0. Thanks to giovanni
for testing this version and suggesting it as a safe upgrade.
On x86, explicitly set i486 compile flags (though this is the compiler's
default anyway). Thanks to kanedaaa.
n/network-scripts-12.1-noarch-1.tgz: Fixed WLAN_IWPRIV[4] example generated
by netconfig. Thanks to Eric Hameleers for pointing it out.
n/whois-4.7.26-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to whois-4.7.26.
xap/xfce-4.4.2-i486-4.tgz: Fixed the build script to apply a couple of bugfix
patches correctly. Thanks to Carlos Corbacho for the bug report.
Fixed xfcalendar.desktop (orage) to only show in the Xfce menus.
Thanks to Frank Duignan for prompting me to take a closer look.
isolinux/initrd.img: Patched to fix expert mode FTP/HTTP installation, and
to allow installation from HTTP source with port number, such as:
http://somehost:8080
Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the bug report and patches, and to
Eric Hameleers for making some adjustments to the HTTP port patch.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Patched to fix expert mode FTP/HTTP installation,
and to allow installation from HTTP source with port number, such as:
http://somehost:8080
Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the bug report and patches, and to
Eric Hameleers for making some adjustments to the HTTP port patch.

l/glibc-profile-2.7-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled.
n/rsync-3.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-3.0.1.
testing/packages/bash-3.2.029-i486-1.tgz: Brought up to patchlevel 029.
Last time we tried this as our main shell, it was still causing problems with
a lot of the scripts out there, but perhaps it will be tried again in the
next development cycle.
+--------------------------+
Fri Apr 4 13:47:24 CDT 2008
a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-1.tgz: Patched to fix problems with previous settings
getting overwritten with a plain "mkinitrd", and added support for non-US
keyboards. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
d/mercurial-1.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mercurial-1.0.
l/dbus-python-0.82.4-i486-1.tgz: Added dbus-python-0.82.4, which is needed
for the correct operation of hplip. Thanks to Robby Workman.
n/openssh-5.0p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-5.0p1.
This version fixes a security issue where local users could hijack forwarded
X connections. Upgrading to the new package is highly recommended.
For more information on this security issue, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1483
(* Security fix *)
usb-and-pxe-installers/initrd.img. Removed. Use the initrd.img from isolinux/
as the installer images had become identical. Also see Eric Hameleers'
updated README_PXE.TXT.
+--------------------------+
Thu Apr 3 01:16:15 CDT 2008
OK, we're going to call this Slackware 12.1-rc1, though there is still some
more minor work to do. Please help test! And if we're missing anything major,
please let me know at volkerdi@slackware.com. Thanks. :-)
a/aaa_elflibs-12.1.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated the initial "starter" library package
to the latest versions in -current.
a/cups-1.3.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.7.
This version of CUPS fixes some buffer overflows in the GIF image filter
and in cgiCompileSearch. Those running CUPS servers should upgrade.
For more information on these security issues, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0047
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1373
(* Security fix *)
a/cxxlibs-6.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 from gcc-4.2.3.
a/mdadm-2.6.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-2.6.4.
a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pciutils-2.2.10.
a/sysvinit-2.86-i486-6.tgz: Fixed the /sbin/initscript path to match the man
pages. Thanks to Michiel Broek for the patch.

ap/zsh-4.3.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to zsh-4.3.6. Thanks to Haakon Riiser for
alerting me to the new release.
d/gdb-6.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdb-6.8.
l/hal-0.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with --enable-umount-helper, which allows
non-root users to umount hotplugged devices from the command line.
Thanks to Robby Workman for the suggestion.
l/hal-info-20080317-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to hal-info-20080317.

x/xf86-video-geode-2.8.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-geode-2.8.0.
This package has been renamed from xf86-video-amd to avoid confusion with
other AMD video products.
x/xf86-video-intel-2.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Reverted to xf86-video-intel-2.2.1. We
suspected that might be needed, given the version number and development
status of the newer driver we tried, but gave it a try anyway. Probably
there will be no more driver updates at this point unless bugs are reported
that newer drivers fix.
xap/pidgin-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pidgin-2.4.1.
+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 1 02:41:32 CDT 2008

a/etc-12.1-noarch-4.tgz: Give the mysql user a /bin/false "shell".
Thanks to Noel for the suggestion.
a/lilo-22.8-i486-12.tgz: Fixed a bug where liloconfig might not properly
determine the root directory where /boot is found.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-20.tgz: Fixed a bug in rescan-scsi-bus that was
exposed by the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN kernel option (which _should_ also make
rescan-scsi-bus unneccessary). Thanks to Kem Prims for the bug report.
Keep /usr/share/mime's mime.cache file updated.
a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-6.tgz: Removed. See below.
a/util-linux-ng-2.13.1-i486-1.tgz: Added util-linux-ng-2.13.1, which replaces
the old util-linux package. To install, either use upgradepkg with the "%"
option, or do this: installpkg util-linux-ng-2.13.1-i486-1.tgz ;
removepkg util-linux ; installpkg util-linux-ng-2.13.1-i486-1.tgz
Thanks to Robby Workman for a lot of help with this package update.
a/xfsprogs-2.9.7_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xfsprogs-2.9.7_1.
ap/alsa-utils-1.0.15-i486-3.tgz: Don't load the mixer settings until after
the OSS modules have been loaded. Eliminate 'awk' usage in rc.alsa, using
sed and tr instead. Thanks to Tomas Matejicek for the patch.
ap/dmapi-2.2.8_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dmapi-2.2.8_1.
ap/man-pages-2.79-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-2.79, and retained the
POSIX pthread_* man pages this time. Thanks to Rastislav Stanik.
ap/mysql-5.0.51a-i486-2.tgz: Modified /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld's database
installation instructions to take into consideration that the mysql user no
longer has a login shell. In addition, the admin is told to consider locking
the database server down even further (if possible) by using the
mysql_secure_installation utility. Thanks again to Noel.
ap/xfsdump-2.2.48_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xfsdump-2.2.48_1.
l/libglade-2.6.2-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt with --libdir=/usr/lib. Without this,
libglade-2.0.la incorrectly inserts '/usr/local/lib' in the .la file.
Thanks to Steve Kennedy for the bug report.
l/libgsf-1.14.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libgsf-1.14.8.
n/net-tools-1.60-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with latest Debian patch.
n/nfs-utils-1.1.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nfs-utils-1.1.2.
n/nmap-4.60-i486-3.tgz: Fixed the build script (third time's the charm?) to
use DESTDIR and remove the one item (useless, IMHO, within a package system)
that still can't get DESTDIR right: uninstall_zenmap.
Thanks to Conraid and Mauro Ghisoni for walking me through this one. :-)
n/openssh-4.9p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.9p1.
n/wget-1.11.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to wget-1.11.1.
x/scim-1.4.7-i486-5.tgz: Fixed scim.desktop to have more information, and to
place the SCIM startup utility in the "Utilities" menu rather than having it
fall into "Lost & Found". Thanks to Hon Yuen Kwun for the initial patch.
x/xf86-video-intel-2.2.99.902-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to xf86-video-intel-2.2.99.902.
xap/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-1.tgz: Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an
integer overflow which may lead to a buffer overflow that could potentially
be used to gain unauthorized access to the machine if a malicious media
file is played back. File types affected this time include .flv, .mov, .rm,
.mve, .mkv, and .cak.

isolinux/initrd.img: Patched to have /etc/fstab mount /dev/shm.
Updated XFS utilities.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Patched to have /etc/fstab mount /dev/shm.
Updated XFS utilities.

l/glibc-profile-2.7-i486-8.tgz: Recompiled against 2.6.24.4 headers.
a/lilo-22.8-i486-11.tgz: Fixed reversed vt.default_utf8 kernel parameter
(0 <-> 1) in /etc/lilo.conf. Thanks to Eric Hameleers for noticing the bug.
+--------------------------+
Fri Mar 28 23:35:22 CDT 2008
a/aaa_base-12.1.0-noarch-1.tgz: Added an empty /usr/share/wallpapers as this
seems to be a de-facto standard directory and (for example) XFce will give
an error if it is missing and one tries to change the desktop image.
Thanks to Chess Griffin for reporting this.
Bumped version number of package, and of /etc/slackware-version.
a/etc-12.1-noarch-3.tgz: Installed root into the audio, cdrom, video, plugdev,
and floppy groups _correctly_. This was noticed by a lot of people -- sorry
for the bogus entries in there before. I don't know how I managed that.
(easily ;-)
a/lilo-22.8-i486-10.tgz: Fixed liloconfig to at least create an empty
message file in /boot if none exists.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-19.tgz: Keep any icon-theme.cache files updated.
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.4-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 uniprocessor generic.s (requires initrd) kernel.
a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.4_smp-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 SMP gensmp.s (requires initrd) kernel.

d/kernel-headers-2.6.24.4_smp-x86-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 SMP kernel headers.
k/kernel-source-2.6.24.4_smp-noarch-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 SMP kernel source.
l/svgalib_helper-1.9.25_2.6.24.4-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.6.24.4.
n/gnupg-1.4.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.9.
n/gnupg2-2.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-2.0.9.
n/nmap-4.60-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. Some files were missing due to an
incompletely removed previous compile. Thanks again to Mauro Ghisoni.
It may also be necessary to reinstall python after upgrading from -1.
tcl/tcl-8.4.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcl8.4.18.
tcl/tk-8.4.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tk8.4.18.
x/liberation-fonts-ttf-1.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Liberation Fonts 1.0.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers for making a fontconfig file and updating the
build script.
x/pixman-0.10.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pixman-0.10.0.
xap/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.13-i686-1.tgz:
Upgraded to firefox-2.0.0.13.
This upgrade fixes some more security bugs.
For more information, see:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#firefox
(* Security fix *)
xap/seamonkey-1.1.9-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to seamonkey-1.1.9.
This upgrade fixes some more security bugs.
For more information, see:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#seamonkey
(* Security fix *)
xap/xine-lib-1.1.11-i686-1.tgz: Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an
array index bug that may have security implications if a malicious RTSP
stream is played. Playback of other media formats is not affected.
If you use RTSP, you should probably upgrade xine-lib.
For more information on the security issue, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0073
(* Security fix *)
xap/vim-gvim-7.1.285-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-7.1.285. This is the GTK+
version of vim (gvim). The normal vim package is also required.
extra/grub/grub-0.97-i486-6.tgz: Restored the inode patch for ext2/3.
It looks like it was needed after all.
extra/linux-2.6.24.3-nosmp-sdk/: Updated SMP to no-SMP kernel source patch.
isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed huge.s kernel installation bug.
kernels/huge.s/*: Upgraded huge.s kernel to 2.6.24.4.
kernels/hugesmp.s/*: Upgraded hugesmp.s kernel to 2.6.24.4 (SMP).
kernels/speakup.s/*: Upgraded speakup.s kernel to 2.6.24.4.
pasture/gcc-3.4.6/: Removed, since this has gone unchanged since
Slackware 12.0. I'm not sure if the one in 12.0's pasture still works,
but if it does, and you need it for something, that's where to find it.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Updated USB and PXE installers to 2.6.24.4 modules.
+--------------------------+
Wed Mar 26 00:21:34 CDT 2008
a/etc-12.1-noarch-2.tgz: Add root to the groups audio, cdrom, video, plugdev,
and floppy. Root already has access to most of these devices, but it doesn't
hurt to provide an example for people who edit /etc/groups manually.
a/shadow-4.0.3-i486-15.tgz: Took plugdev out of CONSOLE_GROUPS in
/etc/login.defs, since DBUS doesn't know about group memberships added that
way. Users not actually listed in /etc/groups as part of groups such as
plugdev wouldn't be able to use those devices even at the console when
logging in through a graphical login manager such as XDM, KDM, or GDM.
Stuart Winter enhanced the command-line adduser tool. Quote from the adduser
program history: "* To facilitate use of the automatic mounting features of
HAL, allow the admin to easily add users to the default groups:
audio,cdrom,video,plugdev,floppy
The default is not to add new users to these groups. And by the way, this
script is "adduser from Slackware" not "superadduser from Gentoo" ;-)"
If you trust your users, this is the correct way to give them access to these
devices. adduser will automatically edit /etc/groups for you. If you do not
trust your users and you give them access to these groups, they may create
mischief from afar with this access, so be aware of the security implications.
a/udev-118-i486-3.tgz: Fixed two broken symbolic links in /sbin.
Thanks to Piter Punk for fixing the script, and to Fred Emmott for noticing
the problem and letting us know.
ap/ntfsprogs-2.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Added back ntfsprogs-2.0.0, using (for now)
--disable-ntfsmount. It is still needed to manage NTFS partitions even if we
use the kernel driver or NTFS-3G to mount them.
Thanks to Matteo Nunziati for the information.
n/epic4-2.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to epic4-2.8.
n/irssi-0.8.12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to irssi-0.8.12.
n/nmap-4.60-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nmap-4.60.
Zenmap still isn't working because we don't include sqlite, but a zenmap
.desktop file was added anyway, and some paths in a script were fixed.
Thanks to Mauro Ghisoni for pointing out the bad paths in Paths.py.
xap/gimp-2.4.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-2.4.5, added support for pyGTK.
isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed Speakup kernel detection.
Thanks to Jude DaShiell for reporting the bug.
Added LVM swap partition detection.
Thanks to Manuel Reimer for the patch.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Fixed Speakup kernel detection.
Thanks to Jude DaShiell for reporting the bug.
Added LVM swap partition detection.
Thanks to Manuel Reimer for the patch.

Sat Mar 22 16:26:33 CDT 2008
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-6.tgz: Fixed bogus bad gzipped file warnings.
ap/ghostscript-8.62-i486-3.tgz: Fixed default cidfmap installation.
n/mcabber-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mcabber-0.9.6.
xap/audacious-1.5.0-i486-2.tgz: Don't use opcodes that break older computers.
Thanks to Elvio Basello and Udo A. Steinberg for the bug reports.
Thanks also to Giacomo Lozito for debugging suggestions. The problem was,
of course, on my side of things. :-)
xap/audacious-plugins-1.5.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
+--------------------------+
Wed Mar 19 19:34:38 CDT 2008
Is this Slackware 12.1 RC 1 yet? It has to be close.
a/e2fsprogs-1.40.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.40.8.
a/gpm-1.20.1-i486-5.tgz: Default item to imps2, which works well with KVM
boxes. If you use a Synaptics pad with the third party driver, you may have
to change this setting.
a/inotify-tools-3.13-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to inotify-tools-3.13.
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: After much debate, the kernels have been
recompiled with the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option enabled. This was tried once
and caused problems for real SCSI systems, but that really was many years ago
and it's so handy to have this feature for multi-LUN card readers that we're
going to try enabling this again. Please report any problems.
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.3 uniprocessor generic.s (requires initrd) kernel.
a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz:
Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-huge-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz:
Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-modules-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled.
a/ntfs-3g-1.2310-i486-1.tgz: After getting a lot of feedback on it, we're
changing from ntfsprogs to ntfs-3g and putting it in the A series so that it
can be used as the default NTFS filesystem. All the best wishes to the
ntfsprogs project for future improvement, but nftsprogs couldn't extract and
compile the Linux kernel on an NTFS partition here, and ntfs-3g could.
It also seems to have a better community and support going right now.
Thanks to the users who wrote with their opinions to help make this decision.
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-5.tgz: Default making a USB boot stick to off.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-18.tgz: Removed /etc/rc.d/rc.scanluns.
a/udev-118-i486-2.tgz: Blacklist old bcm43xx driver (b43 and b43legacy are
the recommended drivers now).
ap/alsa-utils-1.0.15-i486-2.tgz: Set reasonable volume defaults if there are

UTF-8, then set G_FILENAME_ENCODING="@locale" (which will override the
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES setting). This should get us a little closer with UTF.

a/lilo-22.8-i486-9.tgz: If the kernel is >= 2.6.24, then ask the user if they

more hardware. Thanks to Piter Punk.
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-4.tgz: Added fuse to the installer's boot-start

kernels/huge.s/*: Upgraded huge.s kernel to 2.6.24.3.
kernels/speakup.s/*: Upgraded speakup.s kernel to 2.6.24.3.
Note that the kernel parameters for Speakup have changed.
What was speakup_synth= is now speakup.synth=. All of the options have
changed similarly using "speakup." rather than "speakup_" as a prefix.
usb-and-pxe-installers/: Updated USB and PXE installers to 2.6.24.3 modules.

extra/grub/grub-0.97-i486-4.tgz: Patched to handle the new 256 byte ext2/ext3
inode size. Thanks to Michael Wagner for the patch.
extra/ham/: Removed, since this hasn't really seen any changes in a couple of
years, and packet radio has mostly become an obscure art form (if that wasn't
what it always was ;-). Anyway, I'm hoping someone interested in packet
radio will appear to maintain these on Slackbuilds.org. Meanwhile, thanks to
Arno Verhoeven for his years of work on these packages.

+--------------------------+
Fri Feb 29 14:00:57 CST 2008
a/ed-0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ed-0.9. World's greatest line editor.
a/hdparm-8.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hdparm-8.6.
a/lilo-22.8-i486-7.tgz: Patched liloconfig to make using the boot splash
screen an expert option as well.
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-3.tgz: Have makepkg warn of two more common
mistakes -- dropping man pages in /usr/share/man, or (now) using site_perl
in a non-local package.
a/usbutils-0.73-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to usbutils-0.73 with fresh usb.ids.
ap/cdrtools-2.01.01a37-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cdrtools-2.01.01a37.
ap/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-5.tgz: Upgraded to asciidoc-8.2.5,
docbook-utils-0.6.14-13.fc9, docbook-xsl-1.73.2, docbook-xsl-doc-1.73.2,
gtk-doc-1.9, libsgmls-perl_1.03ii-32.diff, linuxdoc-tools_0.9.21-0.11,
sgml-common-0.6.3-23.fc9, and xmlto-0.0.20. Thanks to Richard Hoyle for
pointing out some missing asciidoc files under /etc/asciidoc.
ap/lm_sensors-2.10.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lm_sensors-2.10.5.
d/binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1.tgz: Reverted to binutils-2.17.50.0.17 due to
many reports of ld bugs...
d/doxygen-1.5.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.5.5.
d/git-1.5.4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to git-1.5.4.3. Switched to vendor_perl
for the Git perl module.
d/oprofile-0.9.2-i486-5.tgz: Reverted to oprofile-0.9.2 compiled against
binutils-2.17.50.0.17.
d/perl-5.8.8-i486-6.tgz: Use vendor_perl for Slackware-added Perl modules, not
site_perl. Really, I think perl's handling of this (and other issues like
the registry-like handling of perllocal.pod) is flawed, but this is better
than nothing. IMHO, something like /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ would
fit much better with the FHS's recommendations.
Try not to clobber an existing perllocal.pod (hard to do after the fact, so
make backups if you care...)
f/linux-howtos-20080227-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux-HOWTOs-20080227.

a/lilo-22.8-i486-5.tgz: Added a simple splash screen (the default one had too
many colors and was making my eyes hurt ;-). Thanks to the unknown Slacker
who submitted the idea ages ago when we were dead-set against "branding".
Piter PUNK, alienBOB, and I made some additional adjustments.
a/mkinitrd-1.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Merged patches for LVM/LUKS, hibernate, and RAID.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers for the LVM/LUKS patches. Thanks to Ricardo Garcia
and Piter Punk for the hibernate patches. Thanks to Kevin F. Haggerty for
spotting a bug in there, and to Gianluca Toso for the RAID patches. Thanks
also to the many people who have offered similar solutions. :-) Fixed a
bug using -o with a relative path -- thanks to Mark.
Thanks to David Somero for noticing (some time ago...) that the man page for
mkinitrd was lacking any information on the -w option.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-15.tgz: Patched /etc/rc.d/rc.S for some of
Eric's changes to LUKS handling in the initrd.

l/libmad-0.15.1b-i486-3.tgz: A certain popular project has begun to require
"mad.pc", a pkgconfig file which has never been provided with libmad.
As much as I'd prefer not to be a lemming, sometimes doing what's right
is not the same as doing what has to be done. Probably the project's
developers didn't even know mad.pc wasn't a vanilla file. This is a good
example of why every distro should not fork every package, especially as
libmad's library/headers couldn't be in more obvious locations. Perhaps
this package doesn't see much upstream attention any more (I don't know),
but does it really _need_ a .pc file?
l/libmusicbrainz-2.1.4-i486-2.tgz: Removed.
l/libtunepimp-0.4.2-i486-3.tgz: Removed.

scripts. Install script bugfix.

x/ttf-arphic-uming-0.1.20060928-noarch-1.tgz: Removed.

after several votes for this font if only one is to be included as a starter
font. Thanks to Bruce Hill and Eric Hameleers for the encouragement. :-)
isolinux/initrd.img: Added network install patches from Eric Hameleers.

Eric Hameleers. Work above and beyond the call of duty. If we gave out
medals of honor, this would deserve one. :-)
The installer now supports network installs from not just NFS, but also
HTTP and FTP. Please be nice to our mirrors -- this feature is _intended_
for use within private networks from your own "site".
Work is also underway to fully support unattended/remote installs. The
installer has both a small ssh and sshd (dropbear). Thanks again Eric!
This is something that's been on the drawing board for many years.

kernels/hugesmp.s/*: Upgraded hugesmp.s kernel to 2.6.23.15 (SMP).
kernels/speakup.s: Updated to CVS as of 20080204T2334. A few diffs didn't
apply cleanly, so let me know if it's broken and I'll see what I can do.
Also, some hardware synths that were detected automatically with earlier
kernels and/or speakup versions may now need the serial port specified on the
kernel boot prompt like this:
speakup.s speakup_synth=dectlk speakup_ser=0
Thanks to Stephen Greeley for bug reports and testing. Hopefully my best
guess at a kernel patch to bypass Unicode for now hasn't broken everything.

Thanks to Piter Punk.
Great thanks are also due to the KDE team, not only for their tremendous
accomplishments over the years, but for the gracious reception they gave to
the members of the Slackware team who traveled to the release event. What
a wonderful group of people! We had a great time there, learned a lot, and
will be applying that knowledge and our new contacts within KDE to provide
the best possible KDE experience for Slackware users. The next Slackware
release will contain KDE 3.5.9, but we're targeting KDE 4.1.x for the one
after that. The application end of things doesn't quite fully cover KDE3's
functionality yet, but by then it will. As I'm sure most of you know, Robby
has put up test packages of the initial KDE 4.0 release which I've tested and
found to be consistent with what to expect from a developer's preview.
The look of the new desktop is stunning, and the use of SVG and hardware
acceleration gives (IMHO) even something like MacOS a run for its money in
terms of appearance and user-friendliness. We look forward with great
anticipation to merging KDE4 when it is mature enough (and it's getting there
fast), and then watching it just get better and better.
Once again, _huge_ thanks to our KDE friends! Stop by here any time. :-)
