This update fixes an issue where blueman-mechanism did not enforce the polkit action 'org.blueman.network.setup' for which a polkit policy is shipped. This meant that any user with access to the D-Bus system bus was able to access the related API without authentication. The result was an unspecified impact on the networking stack. Thanks to Matthias Gerstner for discovering this issue. (* Security fix *) testing/packages/glibc-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added. These packages are in /testing pending FTBFS analysis. They seem to work fine here, but with a few header file deprecations and some other possible API changes and incompatibilities (see the NEWS file), I expect there will be some changes required to various packages. Feel free to test them out though. Because of changes to the way glibc is built and installed that started with the glibc-2.27 packages, you can upgrade to these packages and also (if you wish) downgrade back to glibc-2.27 using upgradepkg. testing/packages/glibc-i18n-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added. testing/packages/glibc-profile-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added. testing/packages/glibc-solibs-2.28-x86_64-1.txz: Added.

As most of you are already aware by now, the financal situation here at Slackware HQ has not been great for many years, including not getting any pay for the last two years and forcing me (and my family) to live very frugally while I continued to work on the project hoping I'd figure out a way to actually monitize it by the time that Slackware 15.0 is ready for release. I'm not trying to cast any blame regarding the situation. Really, I can only blame myself for not trying to build my own ship years ago when things began to not really work out. I'm still looking into sustainable funding options such as Patreon or Liberapay (or perhaps both), and I'm open to other ideas. I'm no longer in immediate danger of going broke, and I'm no longer entertaining the notion of joining my friends at the local potato chip factory in order to pay my bills. :) My family is grateful and humbled by the support we've received. Hope we'll be able to keep this project going for a long time. Also, I realize that the website lacks updates and needs attention and I will need to find some time to devote to that. I've never been much of a website designer, and the slackware.com site is basically left over from work done by former Walnut Creek / BSDi employees. I've never seen able to make much sense of the SQL backend. The interface to edit and post articles is clunky (and I'm not sure the PHP for that even works any more). When I've posted articles in recent years, I've done so by editing the main page already processed from PHP into HTML, which is pretty darn messy as I'm sure you can imagine. I tend to prioritize the distribution itself over other demands on my time - that's clearly a lot to do with how things ended up the way they did. So, I guess that's the report for now. Lots more work to do and not enough time to do it in... that part I don't see changing moving forward. :) Thanks very much again. I'll do my best to keep you all posted. - Pat a/file-5.34-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-firmware-20180727_b01151b-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-generic-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-huge-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-modules-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-brig-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-g++-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gfortran-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gnat-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-go-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-objc-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/kernel-headers-4.14.58-x86-1.txz: Upgraded. d/libtool-2.4.6-x86_64-9.txz: Rebuilt.

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: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94844 x/xorg-server-xephyr-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. x/xorg-server-xnest-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. x/xorg-server-xvfb-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Happy 25th anniversary to the Slackware 1.00 release! When the original announcement went out on Usenet, I believe it had a UTC timestamp which has led to some confusion over whether the anniversary falls on the 16th (which was the date when I made the post) or on the 17th (which is when most people first saw it)... but really, what's the difference? We can celebrate on both days as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sticking with the project all these years. Glad I was able to help. :) Here's a link to the 1.00 announcement: http://www.slackware.com/announce/1.0.php And here's a nice article that was posted on opensource.com: https://opensource.com/article/18/7/stackware-turns-25 a/kernel-firmware-20180717_8d69bab-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. l/pulseaudio-12.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/gnutls-3.6.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/mutt-1.10.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Based on the comments in the release notes for version 2.02.178, perhaps it would be prudent to sit out the next year and a half of planned instability. I can't recall ever _needing_ to upgrade LVM (the version number has been on 2.02.x for well over a decade)... let's avoid being beta testers as upstream refactors everything. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt. Added libaio.so.1 (needed by future versions of lvm). usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt. Added libaio.so.1 (needed by future versions of lvm).

Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in verbose mode. By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status messages.

This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log, and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location. The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log, but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users. Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still work through the compatibility symlinks.
