Current (pre-release) ChangeLog for ARM
Fri Feb 5 15:32:54 UTC 2010

I have created a mini root filesystem of Slackware ARM current,
based on the tree as of this update.

The filesystem can be found at:
       ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/armedslack/armedslack-devtools/minirootfs

The mini root filesystems are aimed at developers - the filesystems
need configuring before they can be deployed on ARM hardware.
There is a README.txt in that directory which provides more detail.
I hope these are useful! I'll probably update the rootfs every few weeks.

a/mtd-utils-050210-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded to a snapshot from 4th Feb 2010.
a/u-boot-tools-2009.11.1-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
ap/nano-2.2.2-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
l/gmime-2.4.15-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
xap/pan-0.133-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
       Patched to use gmime-2.4.x.

a/etc-13.0-arm-2.tgz: Allow root login on ttyS0 serial line for any device
       that has "Marvell" in /proc/cpuinfo.
       This matches both the SheevaPlug & the OpenRD systems.
a/kernel_openrd-2.6.33rc5-arm-1.tgz: Added temporary package to provide Kernel
       support for the Marvell OpenRD client. This support will eventually be
       folded into the "kirkwood" kernel package, but at present the OpenRD client
       support is only available out of tree.
       The source used for this was taken from:
       git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-2.6-openrd.git
       and includes a patch linked from the OpenRD googlegroups site, which adds
       support for the XGI graphics chipset.

       Note: this is an all-in-one package -- I've rolled the kernel modules in
       here too for easy maintenance. This addition is primarily to help me
       get started on providing out of the box support for the OpenRD client
       prior support appearing in the kernel.org mainline tree, and to make
       use of my OpenRD client that's been sitting idle since it arrived
       months ago!

a/kernel-modules-kirkwood-2.6.32.7_kirkwood-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-modules-versatile-2.6.32.7_versatile-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.

a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-2.tgz: Open a serial login on ttyS0 for any device
       that has "Marvell" in /proc/cpuinfo.
       This matches both the SheevaPlug & the OpenRD systems.
ap/mpg123-1.10.0-arm-1.tgz: Added.
       Moved from /extra, and upgraded to the latest version.
ap/mpg321-0.2.10-arm-1.tgz: Removed.

       (* Security fix *)

       rc.inet1 is now compatible with dhcpcd-5.1.x.

       (* Security fix *)
n/rdist-6.1.5-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
xap/mozilla-firefox-3.6-armv5t-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       Please note that Mozilla Firefox 3.6 drops support for ARMv4, so this
       package is compiled for ARMv5t. This package will work under QEMU and on
       the SheevaPlug - I do not expect anybody with a device with an ARMv4 CPU
       to be running Firefox anyway because of the slow clock speed of those CPUs.
xap/mozilla-thunderbird-3.0.1-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       This upgrade fixes some more security bugs.
       For more information, see:
       http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird30.html
       (* Security fix *)
xap/pidgin-2.6.5-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       This fixes a directory traversal vulnerability in Pidgin's MSN protocol
       handling that may allow attackers to download arbitrary files.
       For more information, see:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0013
       (* Security fix *)

d/cmake-2.8.0-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
d/gcc-4.4.2-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       Note: gcc identifies itself as gcc 4.4.3. This is because I have
       applied patches from the SVN repository (taken from Debian's patch set)
       in order to fix some particular issues on ARM.
       I have been building the recent package updates with this version of
       gcc and have not encountered any problems.

n/wireless-tools-29-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
       In rc.wireless, look for /sys/class/net/$dev/wireless rather than at the
       contents of /proc/net/wireless to determine if an interface is wireless.
       In recent kernels, interfaces that are not active will not appear in
       /proc/net/wireless. Thanks to Marin Glibic and Piter Punk.
xap/blackbox-0.70.1-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt with gcc-4.4.2 which fixes the
       segfault at startup.

xap/gimp-2.6.8-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       This fixes integer overflows in the image handling plugins that could lead to
       the execution of arbitrary code or an application crash if a malicious image
       is loaded.
       For more information, see:

d/git-1.6.5.4-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
d/python-2.6.4-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
d/ruby-1.9.1_p243-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
       Added an explicit --enable-pthread. This is mostly to make sure that we get
       the expected option set from future releases of Ruby -- it appears that not
       only is --enable-pthread the default in ruby-1.9.1, but trying to use
       --disable-pthread doesn't work. Furthermore, Ruby and Tcl/Tk no longer work
       together unless both Ruby and Tcl/Tk are compiled with thread support.
       Compiling Tcl/Tk with thread support has caused some problems in the past.
       If a threaded Tcl app tries to fork(), it will hang, but by now most affected
       Tcl apps (such as eggdrop) should have patches available.

n/bind-9.4.3_P4-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
       BIND 9.4.3-P4 is a SECURITY PATCH for BIND 9.4.3-P3. It addresses a
       potential cache poisoning vulnerability, in which data in the additional
       section of a response could be cached without proper DNSSEC validation.

Welcome to Slackware ARM current!

This is the work-in-progress tree that, in time, will become the next release of
Slackware ARM. This is primarily Slackware 13.0 with some updates where
necessary (most of which should find their way back into Slackware-current).

The major change to this version from Slackware ARM 12.2 is that we're using the
EABI (Embedded ABI) (Slackware ARM 12.2 used the old/legacy ABI).

The EABI is incompatible with the old ABI, so you *cannot* use packages from this
or any future releases on an installation of Slackware ARM 12.2. The only way to
ugprade is to back up your config files and do a fresh installation.

The target architecture is armv4t which means that it can the user land can run
on most of the ARM devices out there.

Please note that this port is in its infancy, and whilst it's been stable for
me for a few months, I expect there to be some problems with the packages.

To report any problems & to help with the project, please join the mailing list:
       http://lists.armedslack.org

Thanks & I hope you enjoy the new Slackware ARM port!
