+--------------------------+
Wed Nov 11 21:17:19 UTC 2009
patches/packages/seamonkey-2.0-i486-2_slack13.0.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/seamonkey-solibs-2.0-i486-2_slack13.0.txz: Rebuilt.
As of version 2.0, SeaMonkey no longer includes a shared libgtkmozembed
library, so the pkgconfig and header files for this have been removed from
the package to avoid confusion over why trying to compile programs that
use it no longer works. There's not really any way to avoid this issue --
it's either upgrade SeaMonkey and lose libgtkmozembed, or keep using version
1.1.18 and miss out on SeaMonkey security updates. If you really need
libgtkmozembed, the seamonkey-1.1.18 packages will be retained in either
/patches or /pasture for Slackware versions 13.0 and earlier.

This update fixes the following security issues.
A misconfigured /etc/passwd with no defined home directory could allow
security restrictions to be bypassed.
mount.cifs could allow a local user to read the first line of an arbitrary
file if installed setuid. (On Slackware, it was not installed setuid)
Specially crafted SMB requests could cause a denial of service.

Don't use unsigned (fix unsigned comparison warning).
Bump patchlevel.
Thanks to Gary Carvell.
Added 2.6.30.5 generic Linux kernel packages in /testing. Release time
is getting close, so we're sticking with the 2.6.29.6 kernels as the main
kernels for Slackware 13.0. Besides, we know of at least one tricky issue
with 2.6.30.x and the LILO bootloader, and the workaround that we know of
likely isn't going to work on BIOSes older than 2001. Be sure to read the
README_FIRST.TXT (really!) in the directory with the kernel packages if you
intend to try these.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5/kernel-firmware-2.6.30.5-noarch-1_testing.txz:

xap/pidgin-2.5.9-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a bug in Pidgin's MSN protocol implementation can allow
a remote attacker to send a malicious MSN message to a Pidgin user, which
will possibly cause arbitrary code to be executed as that user.
This issue was discovered by Federico Muttis of Core Security Technologies.
For more information, see:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2694
(* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 18 18:50:46 CDT 2009
Patched kernels and kernel packages for Linux 2.6.29.6 to address
a bug in proto_ops structures which could allow a user to use the
kernel sendpage operation to execute arbitrary code in page zero.
This could allow local users to gain escalated privileges.
This flaw was discovered by Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the
Google Security Team.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2692
In addition, these kernels change the CONFIG_SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
kernel config option value to 4096, which should prevent the execution
of arbitrary code by future NULL dereference bugs that might be found
in the kernel. If you are compiling your own kernel, please check this
option in your .config. If it is set to =0, you may wish to edit it
to 4096 (or some other value > 0) and then reconfigure, or the kernel
will not have default protection against zero page attacks from
userspace.

been reported that at least one Certificate Authority allowed such
certificates to be issued.

correctly. .fig files will load, but making any changes causes xfig to
hang consuming 100% CPU. We couldn't find a fix, and honestly RC2 just
wasn't a good time to upgrade xfig (3.2.4 also required many patches to
work right). Sorry, but we'll look at this again in the next -current.

Hi folks! We're going to call this set of updates RC2. There are still
README files to be handled (that's the nature of documentation, I guess), as
well as some other things remaining on the TODO list, but X seems pretty
stable now, and it seems like a release soon would be in order so that we
can march right back into development territory with -current again soon. :-)
Enjoy, and let us know about any problems you run into!

We know about qt-copy.git and plan to adopt it sometime after the 13.0
release, but would like to stick to close to the same Qt branch that
KDE 4.2.4 was developed on for now.
n/fetchmail-6.3.11-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.

This causes problems with firefox-3.5, and too many people are going to
be confused by that if libsafe remains in /extra. Really, there's very
little reason to be running libsafe on a machine that isn't a server
anyway. In any case, libsafe has always caused a few programs to fail
for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure how much good it still does
either, considering it's been unmaintained upstream since 2001.
Feel free to continue using it if you like, but realize that it has the
potential to break things, especially on desktop machines.

Hi folks -- the TODO isn't entirely empty here, but it's pretty much down
to minor nits, and so we're going to call this release candidate #1 and
(mostly) freeze further updates unless they happen to fix problems.
Regarding the kernel, 2.6.29.x has been well tested with this userspace
and seems like the best choice to ship for production use. Perhaps we
can put something else (at least source and configs) in /testing, though.
a/slocate-3.1-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt. Don't index cifs or tmpfs.
Add a few more directories to the list of paths to prune.
Thanks to Cor Molenaar and Erik Jan Tromp.

is set to "yes".
o CVE-2009-1886:
In Samba 3.2.0 to 3.2.12 (inclusive), the smbclient commands dealing
with file names treat user input as a format string to asprintf.
With a maliciously crafted file name smbclient can be made
to execute code triggered by the server.

x/mesa-7.4.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Well, actually more like "switched", or "reverted". After many hours
trying to track down the reason for reported instability with X and
compositing (such as crashes when adjusting advanced desktop settings in
KDE), we've found that it seems to happen only with MesaLib 7.4.2. Rather
than trying to cherry-pick changes between 7.4.1 and 7.4.2, we've switched
to shipping 7.4.1 in the main tree, and have not run into any such problems
since making the switch. If people want to continue testing 7.4.2, we've
moved it into /testing. Let us know if you run into any problems with
7.4.1 that are fixed with 7.4.2, and we'll take a look at individual diffs.
extra/kde3-compat/k3b3-1.0.5-i486-opt1.txz: Added.
In case the KDE4 version of k3b is not stable, this KDE3 version may be
used along with the KDE3 compatibility packages in extra/kde3-compat/.

regressions.

This batch of updates includes a major overhaul of X.Org -- thanks to Robby
Workman for doing a huge amount of work updating the build scripts and testing
everything. A large number of packages were recompiled or upgraded to drop
references to the now-obsolete libxcb-xlib and libXaw8 libraries. We have
workarounds in place for old binaries so it wasn't strictly required, but
recompiling anyway gives a cleaner system. Enjoy!

Fri May 8 18:49:03 CDT 2009
Hello folks! This batch of updates includes the newly released KDE 4.2.3,
but more noticeably it marks the first departure from the use of gzip for
compressing Slackware packages. Instead, we will be using xz, based on
the LZMA compression algorithm. xz offers better compression than even
bzip2, but still offers good extraction performance (about 3 times better
than bzip2 and not much slower than gzip in our testing). Since support
for bzip2 has long been requested, support for bzip2 and the original lzma
format has also been added (why not?), but this is purely in the interest
of completeness -- we think most people will probably want to use either
the original .tgz or the new .txz compression wrappers. The actual
Slackware package format (which consists of the layout within the package
envelope) has not changed, but this is the first support within Slackware's
package tools for using alternate compression algorithms.
Some people have asked why we don't pick a single extension, such as
.slk. While there's certainly a case to be made for that idea, the tools
would still need to support .tgz to handle older packages. Sticking with
".tgz" for everything makes no sense. Using extensions that reflect the
compression format used by the package envelope seems to be the most
transparent approach, and the one that best follows tradition.
As an example of the compression improvement with .txz, have a look
at the kernel-source package:
Before: kernel-source-2.6.29.2_smp-noarch-1.tgz (73808508 bytes)
After: kernel-source-2.6.29.2_smp-noarch-1.txz (49150104 bytes)
The size of the main package tree in /slackware has been reduced from
1.9GB to 1.4GB by converting most packages to .txz.
Most of the packages have been converted from .tgz to .txz, but we
will continue to make the gzip, pkgtools, slackpkg, tar, and xz packages
in .tgz format for the foreseeable future.
Enjoy! And thanks to Lasse Collin for the great work on xz. :-)

a/cups-1.3.10-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to cups-1.3.10.
This fixes several security issues, including an integer overflow in the TIFF
decoder, a failure to properly verify the Host HTTP header, and several
problems with PDF handling (the new CUPS uses a wrapper rather than embedded
code taken from xpdf). These issues could result in a denial of service or
the execution of arbitrary code.

(* Security fix *)
a/dialog-1.1_20080819-i486-2.tgz: Patched to make the minimum height of

package extension (.tgz, .tbz, .tlz, .txz) is embedded somewhere in the
directory path, or the package's name, version, or build number.
Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-29.tgz: Patched rc.M to remove files of the form
{a,}quota.{group,user}.new from the top of filesystems that use quota. These
can be created if quota is interrupted by a reboot or power failure and cause
quotacheck at boot time to fail. Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp.
d/strace-4.5.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to strace-4.5.18.
n/bitchx-1.1-i486-5.tgz: Removed.

isolinux/initrd.img: Regenerated modules.dep to reflect the compressed kernel
modules. Thanks to Piter Punk and Eric Hameleers.
When formatting an ext3 partition, don't use '-j' (using mkfs.ext3 already
takes care of that).
Use the patched dialog to fix the formatting of the installer menus.

(* Security fix *)
l/pilot-link-0.12.3-i486-7.tgz: The dialout devices now use group 'dialout'
rather than group 'uucp', and the udev rules have been changed to use
MODE="660" instead of MODE="664". Thanks to Robby Workman.

Wed Apr 15 22:17:31 CDT 2009
a/pkgtools-12.34567890-noarch-2.tgz: Fixed bugs with package extension
stripping and package description handling that could cause error messages
or hangs during package installs or upgrades. Thanks to Piter Punk,
Alan Hicks, Eric Hameleers, and Robby Workman.
Handle "package not found" with upgradepkg gracefully. Thanks to Shark.
+--------------------------+

eigen was removed, not moved from /testing. This was intentional, as we
are not aware of anything that has not moved to using eigen2 now.

The installers were updated and now support ext4.

x/xdg-utils-1.0.2-noarch-3.tgz:
This update fixes two security issues. First, use of xdg-open in
/etc/mailcap was found to be unsafe -- xdg-open passes along downloaded files
without indicating what mime type they initially presented themselves as,
leaving programs further down the processing chain to discover the file type
again. This makes it rather trivial to present a script (such as a .desktop
file) as a document type (like a PDF) so that it looks safe to click on in a
browser, but will result in the execution of an arbitrary script. It might
be safe to send files to trusted applications in /etc/mailcap, but it does
not seem to be safe to send files to xdg-open in /etc/mailcap.
This package will comment out calls to xdg-open in /etc/mailcap if they are
determined to have been added by a previous version of this package.
If you've made any local customizations to /etc/mailcap, be sure to check
that there are no uncommented calls to xdg-open after installing this update.
Thanks to Manuel Reimer for discovering this issue.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-0068
Another bug in xdg-open fails to sanitize input properly allowing the
execution of arbitrary commands. This was fixed in the xdg-utils repository
quite some time ago (prior to the inclusion of xdg-utils in Slackware), but
was never fixed in the official release of xdg-utils. The sources for
xdg-utils in Slackware have now been updated from the repo to fix the problem.

12.2 (and in -current) to increase security had some unintended side effects,
and bluez was one of the things that broke. However, by using the dbus
bluetooth.conf file from bluez-4, this version of bluez can be made to work
again. The newer version of the .conf file has been merged into this package,

Upgraded to KDE 4.2rc1 (4.1.96) in /testing. Thanks very much to Eric Hameleers
for all of the hard work getting this version of KDE ready for /testing so that
Slackware -current will be ready when KDE 4.2 is released! And thanks for all
of his behind-the-scenes work... Eric has been following all of the KDE 4.2
betas as well, and taking note as the build requirements have changed.
This set of packages will also work on Slackware 12.2. If you intend to use
them with Slackware 12.2, grab them now. Library changes in -current may occur
which could make it more difficult to use these KDE packages with Slackware 12.2
in the future.

a/mkinitrd-1.3.3-i486-1.tgz:
Fixed a few bugs in the previous mkinitrd package:
If a kernel version is requested with the -k option and modules are needed to
build the initrd, exit with an error if no matching /lib/modules/ tree is
present. Usually an incorrect kernel version was supplied.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
When adding kernel modules to the initrd, be more verbose showing success and
failure copying each module. Thanks to Ellington Santos.
With some newer kernels, "/dev/root" might be returned by mount as the root
device, but this will not work as an initrd root device. If mount returns
/dev/root, look at the /dev/root symlink to determine the actual root device
and use that so that the root device does not need to be supplied with -r.
In the call to /sbin/modprobe used to determine module dependencies, use the
option --ignore-install to avoid catching "install" lines under
/etc/modprobe.d/ when modules that use these are added to the initrd. This
prevents /sbin/modprobe from being copied over busybox, breaking the initrd.
Thanks to Ken Milmore.

Slackware 12.2 is released as -stable. Thanks as always to everyone who helped
make this a great point release in the Slackware 12.x series. Without such a
great community surrounding it, Slackware could not possibly be as stable and
reliable as it is. Thanks to the Slackware Crew, the users of LinuxQuestions,
people contributing ideas and patches on IRC and other Slackware forums, the
developers at slackbuilds.org for bringing in new technologies, and everyone
else who shared insights that helped to refine this release over many months.
Happy release day to you all! :-)
Also, ISOs have been sent off to the replicator now to be pressed as a 6 CD
set or a single DVD. The store.slackware.com is taking pre-orders -- if you
like Slackware, please consider supporting the project. We've also added new
black T-shirts with the traditional Slackware logo. Check them out!
Once again, thanks to the entire Slackware community for all the help and
encouragement as Slackware 12.2 progressed to release. Have fun! -P.

n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-4.tgz: Patched rc.inet1 to filter output from
"modprobe -c" that begins with #, preventing spurious error messages.

kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-4.tgz: Updated the knetworkconf patch to handle the

l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-3.tgz: Added README.jl2005a. Although the driver
for this proprietary chipset is not built by default, the README is
useful to let people know why that is (and perhaps as a warning to steer
clear of these cameras unless you happen to be an expert in reverse
engineering compression formats).

ap/man-pages-3.15-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-3.15.
kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-3.tgz: Patched knetworkconf (KDE Control Center
Network Settings) to be able to configure network interfaces. Previously,
knetworkconf would say that the system was not supported and refuse to work
since it considered only up to Slackware 10.2 supported. By simply adding
Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 to the supported version list, this
utility works again. However, it can strip commented out options from the
rc.inet1.conf config file, and can put options into the file in a confusing
order, so it is still not the optimal way to configure a network. Still,
it's better to have this working. Thanks to Niels Horn for writing the
patch, and Darrell Anderson for letting me know about it.
l/libgphoto2-2.4.3-i486-2.tgz: Restore README files for camera libraries that
were not previously included. A pointer to the API documentation has also
been added to the docs directory. Thanks to Theodore Kilgore for pointing
out the usefulness of these documentation files to end users.
n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-3.tgz: Allow rc.inet1.conf to override MAXNICS
value in rc.inet1. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
Added rc.inet1.8 and rc.inet1.conf.5 manpages. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
Removed duplicated code in rc.inet1 default case. Thanks to Collin Baillie.
xap/pidgin-2.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Patched to accept certificates signed with
rsa-md5. Other SSL libraries accept this, so GnuTLS should as well.
extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.6-noarch-2.tgz: Change usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55wicd to
chmod 644 by default to avoid interference with suspend.
+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 5 20:58:39 CST 2008
ap/ghostscript-8.63-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove a dependency on the
experimental cairo output driver, which brings in dependencies on many X
libraries. Thanks to Marin Glibic for the bug report and link to the
upstream patch.
ap/gutenprint-5.2.2-i486-3.tgz: Edited setup.06.gutenprint, which still
had the old path to the PPD files. Thanks to Markus Kanet.
ap/pm-utils-1.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pm-utils-1.2.3.
xap/gftp-2.0.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.19.

Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 11.
n/php-5.2.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.7.
In addition to improvements and bug fixes, this new version of PHP also
addresses several security issues, including:
Fixed a crash inside gd with invalid fonts (Fixes CVE-2008-3658).
Fixed a possible overflow inside memnstr (Fixes CVE-2008-3659).
Fixed security issues detailed in CVE-2008-2665 and CVE-2008-2666.
Crash with URI/file..php (filename contains 2 dots). (Fixes CVE-2008-3660).
rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow. (Fixes CVE-2008-2829).

While there are still some docs that need updating and probably a few more
tweaks and updates here and there, everything is mostly in place for the next
stable release, Slackware 12.2. The versions of major components like X and
the kernel can be considered frozen. Anything major that we haven't done yet
will probably wait for the release after this next one. As Slackware 12.2 is
only a 0.1 version bump, we're trying to focus on making it better without
causing instability or losing compatibility with Slackware 12.1 wherever
possible. Invasive changes like the new X (that will require changes to
xorg.conf) and merging KDE4 should probably wait for Slackware 13.0.
We will call this batch Slackware 12.2 release candidate one. :-)
a/aaa_base-12.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Bumped /etc/slackware-version version number
in preparation for a stable release, and updated the initial emails.
a/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated the initial "starter" library package
to the latest versions in -current.
a/genpower-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Patched genpowerfail to halt the machine during a
power failure rather than causing it to reboot over and over.
Thanks to Marin Mitov for the bug report.
a/ntfs-3g-1.5130-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.5130.
a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Updated pci.ids.
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-26.tgz: Patched rc.M to start rc.wicd and
rc.snmpd if those scripts are executable, and removed the reference to the
old rc.hplip script. Also, modifed rc.K to shut down acpid using rc.acpid.
Changed /proc/bus/usb mounting in rc.S to use the options from /etc/fstab if
there is an entry for it there (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi).
a/udev-135-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-135.
a/usbutils-0.73-i486-3.tgz: Updated usb.ids.
ap/alsa-utils-1.0.17-i486-2.tgz: Patched rc.alsa to use [[:blank:]] instead of
[[:space:]] with tr, since the latter removes vertical whitespace and causes
everything to be incorrectly listed on one line.
Thanks to Ondrej Kubecka for the patch.
l/hal-info-20081127-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to hal-info-20081127.
n/ethtool-6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ethtool-6. Evidently this has been out
for some time -- thanks to Jan Rafaj for the notice.
n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-1.tgz: Removed the automatic DHCP timeout
reduction in rc.inet1, since the kernel is not reliably returning correct
information about that. If the default 30 second timeout is too long, it
can be shortened in rc.inet1.conf.
Patched rc.ip_forward to reapply any non-default ipv4 parameters after
turning ipv4 forwarding on or off, as doing that clears them. Thanks to Mark.
tcl/expect-5.44.1.11-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.

Sun Nov 30 22:15:32 CST 2008
a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-25.tgz: Edited rc.S to clear temporary files
better. Edited rc.M, rc.6, and rc.K to not output additional information
when running accton, as the new binary already does that.
a/udev-134-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-134. Thanks to Piter Punk.
(Remove any obsolete /etc/modprobe.d/uhci-hci config file after upgrade)

scripts add it to the $PATH. Thanks to Phillip Warner.
n/wireless-tools-29-i486-4.tgz: Patched rc.wireless to take the interface
down and retry if setting the mode fails. Thanks to Guan Xin.

a/lilo-22.8-i486-14.tgz: Fixed typo in liloconfig.
a/udev-130-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt including a new /etc/modprobe.d/uhci-hci to
make sure that the ehci-hcd module is always loaded before uhci-hci.
ap/lsscsi-0.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lsscsi-0.21.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson for pointing me to the new URL.

a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug in the build script so that
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.new is chmoded executable. If you installed the
previous package, you should chmod 755 your /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.
Thanks to Stuart Winter for pointing this out.
+--------------------------+
Wed Nov 19 19:52:15 CST 2008
a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acpid-1.0.8.
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh will be installed as a .new with future upgrades,
but since whatever version already installed on the system owns
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh, it will still be overwritten one more time when
this update is installed. If you've customized your script, be sure to back
it up before upgrading.
a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-4.tgz: Fixed a bug where unless -F was the first option
given, other command line options would not override the contents of
/etc/mkinitrd.conf as documented in the man page.
Thanks to David Somero for the patch.
l/libxml2-2.6.32-i486-2.tgz: Patched and recompiled.
This fixes vulnerabilities including denial of service, or possibly the
execution of arbitrary code as the user running a libxml2 linked application
if untrusted XML content is parsed.

NOTE: These are some of the more important updates for X.Org. For the last
several days we have been building and testing the very newest X updates, and
it seems that the more intrusive updates are probably best left to develop
until sometime after the coming -stable Slackware 12.2 release. Those will
require a lot of testing and some things don't seem to be quite there yet.
"X -configure" is hanging the console, DRI is not yet working on all the
hardware tested, and the new xorg-server will render most existing xorg.conf
files non-functional until several changes are made.

one self-signed certificate. This update fixes the issue.
n/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to net-snmp-5.4.2.1.
This fixes a problem where a user with read access could cause snmpd to

n/bluez-libs-3.36-i486-2.tgz: Switched back to the BlueZ 3.x series. As the
website says, "without support from the userspace these modules are useless."
Well, it seems as if the userspace support for BlueZ 3.x is still much better
than the support for 4.x, so we'll move back to these packages (recompiled)
until the situation changes. Thanks to Tom Nardi for the detailed report
concerning the usability of BlueZ 3.x versus BlueZ 4.x.
n/bluez-utils-3.36-i486-4.tgz: Switched back to bluez-utils-3.36, with the

a/cups-1.3.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.3.9.
This update fixes three vulnerabilities in the SGI image format filter, the
texttops filter, and the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plotter format filter. All three
of these could result in a denial of service, and the plotter filter issue
could possibly be used to execute code as the print spooler user.

Note that some drives that were previously seen as /dev/hd? might now show up
as /dev/sd?, so be prepared for that possibility. This should only happen on
machines that could have used libata with hd?=noprobe, but did not. The

This, like the previous package, fails when "convert foo.eps foo.png" is

but the imagemagick package from 12.1 works... unless it is recompiled.
Any hints welcome.

ap/vim-7.2.018-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-7.2.018.
n/bluez-utils-3.36-i486-2.tgz: It seems --enable-all is no longer a valid
./configure option for this package, and everything needs to be enabled
individually, so several utilities and config files were missing from the
previous package. Thanks to Tom Nardi for the help with this.
n/bind-9.4.2_P2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.4.2-P2.
This version has performance gains over bind-9.4.2-P1.

a/e2fsprogs-1.41.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.41.1.
a/etc-12.2-noarch-1.tgz: Do not set LC_ALL POSIX in /etc/csh.login. Not only

See the documention for changes to the command-line options.
Thanks to tasos and misiu for the update suggestion.

These create some cool special effects with Amarok.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson for suggesting the addition. :-)
xap/xmms-1.2.11-i486-2.tgz: Patched to fix the doublesize option.
Thanks to Patryk Krawaczynski, Keith Richie, and Catalin Tomozei for all
sending in the same working patch. Honorable mentions to LukenShiro, misiu,
and Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for proposing "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xmms" as
another possible workaround for the problem.
+--------------------------+
Thu Sep 11 16:02:24 CDT 2008
xap/xmms-1.2.11-i486-1.tgz: Added xmms-1.2.11. This is an audio player that
is similar to audacious, but uses about a third of the CPU power.
Please note that "doublesize" mode seems broken -- if it is enabled, XMMS
will crash, and then will not start again until $HOME/.xmms is cleared out.
Any patch for this issue would be appreciated.
+--------------------------+
Thu Sep 11 13:58:37 CDT 2008
d/python-2.5.2-i486-4.tgz: The -3 package was missing sqlite3.so.
Thanks to Audrius Kazukauskas for pointing out the omission. And,
sorry about the omitted accent in your name. The limitations of ASCII
strike again.

Thu Sep 11 00:49:16 CDT 2008
A few updates... more to come.
a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-11.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-11.tgz: Rebuild from tzcode/tzdata2008e.
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
We are bumping the kernel within the 2.6.24.x series for now rather than
leaping for 2.6.26.x immediately for sereral reasons. First, we know that
it works within the existing framework, and the config files did not need
major changes (only CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES was changed to =y for
libcap support). Also, we know that the kernel headers are usable for
compiling glibc, KDE, and several other important packages. Finally, we
had to recompile the kernel anyway due to the GCC bump, and would rather not
rush into 2.6.26.x. Finding the optimal .config files will not be trivial,
speakup will need to be reevaluated, and so forth. But don't panic -- the
goal is 2.6.26.x (or newer, if it proves stable). Testing here and
throughout the Slackware community continues with the latest kernels, and so
far things are looking good. This is an interim kernel to make sure that
video drivers, console UTF8, and other things don't suddenly begin to act
strangely...
a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.7_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/kernel-huge-2.6.24.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.24.7_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/kernel-modules-2.6.24.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.
a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.24.7_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7.

a/ntfs-3g-1.2812-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.2812.
a/util-linux-ng-2.14.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-ng-2.14.1.
ap/flac-1.2.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to bring back the XMMS plugin.
ap/gphoto2-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Added gphoto2-2.4.2.
ap/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-6.tgz: Recompiled against perl-5.10.0.
ap/man-pages-3.08-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-3.08 and
man-pages-posix-2003-a. Thanks to Robby Workman for the help.
ap/mc-4.6.1_20070623p14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mc-4.6.1_20070623p14.
Patched to improve UTF8 support (thanks to Vit Rosin).
ap/sqlite-3.6.2-i486-1.tgz: Added sqlite-3.6.2.
d/cmake-2.6.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cmake-2.6.1.
d/cvs-1.11.23-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.23.
d/doxygen-1.5.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.5.6.
d/gcc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4.
This an upgrade to a known stable GCC. The gcc-4.3.x branch is much more
strict about source correctness, and many upstream sources would need to be
patched in order to compile with it. Therefore, this is the logical next
compiler to use until those issues are worked out upstream. Adding gcc-4.3.x
at this time would be, IMHO, an annoyance for many people compiling their own
sources or packages.
d/gcc-g++-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4.
d/gcc-gfortran-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4.

Tue Sep 2 02:11:27 CDT 2008
n/samba-3.2.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.2.3. This fixes a security
issue where group_mapping.ldb was accidentally chmod 666 (only in -current,
as all previous Slackware versions use the Samba 3.0.x branch which is not
affected). This build also adds the mount.smbfs wrapper script for
mount.cifs, and a link to the wrapper from /usr/bin/smbmount. This may
fix some of the issues that people were having mounting SMB filesystems.
Note that SMBFS is considered obsolete now, and using mount.smbfs really
isn't any different in function using the wrapper than using mount.cifs
directly. For more information on the security issue, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3789
(* Security fix *)
Since this security issue only affects the unreleased development branch,
(aka -current) this ChangeLog comment is the official notification.
For those using older versions of Slackware, many of them got bugfix
updates to the 3.0.x branch. Check the new packages out -- they should
correct some stability issues.
+--------------------------+
Thu Aug 28 15:11:39 CDT 2008
kde/koffice-1.6.3-i486-6.tgz: Patched KOffice to write ODT elements in the
correct order according to specs. This issue was first noticed by Giovanni
Venturi while moving ODT documents between OOo and KWord. Thanks to
Giovanni Venturi for pointing out the patch in KOffice's SVN.
+--------------------------+
Wed Aug 27 21:01:25 CDT 2008
A couple of things slipped through the cracks with that last update. An old
patch was applied to kdenetwork making that build fail. Once that was fixed
kdetoys (previously missing) built correctly. Perhaps it needed a header file
or library from kdenetwork. Sorry about that, and thanks to
Willy Sudiarto Raharjo and Corrado Franco for pointing out the omissions.
kde/kdenetwork-3.5.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdenetwork-3.5.10.

Upgraded KDE version 3.x.x to 3.5.10. Really, there's nothing wrong with
looking back as long as it's something stable and dependable. It's good to
see that KDE3 received this maintainance update. Thanks, KDE team! :-)

Thanks to Robby Workman and Heinz Wiesinger for all the packaging and testing
help, and of course to the whole KDE community for helping to bring the Linux
desktop to a whole new level of appearance and ease of use. I've installed
this on my main email/browsing/general machine and as far as I'm concerned
there's just no looking back. It's really a big step forward.

a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-22.tgz: _Really_ quieted down rc.M's mime update
this time (it seems that errors are sent to stdout). Thanks to Robby Workman.
If we must update icon-cache files in rc.M (which is done only if they already
exist), background it so that it doesn't delay the boot as much.
In rc.S, only update the kernel version in /etc/motd if the file begins with
"Linux", leaving the rest of the file free to be customized.
Thanks to Pete Cervasio for the improved MOTD script.
Grab some information about the root partition from /proc/mounts to
initialize /etc/mtab. Thanks to Alan Hicks.

It was discovered that earlier versions of dnsmasq have DNS cache
weaknesses that are similar to the ones recently discovered in BIND.
This new release minimizes the risk of cache poisoning.

(* Security fix *)
testing/packages/jdk-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. Evidently the
version 6.0 update 7 (stable) packages did not fix the CUPS printing issue,
but these beta packages should (but remember, they are BETA releases).
testing/packages/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Added Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Development Kit Version 6.0 update 10 beta.
Both of these Java(TM) packages are suitable for use on Slackware 12.1 and
probably on earlier releases as well.

Also, thanks to Phillip Warner for providing a configuration fix to allow
mailto: links to open in Thunderbird (or other mailers). To use this, you
may need to copy /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/defaults/profile/mimeTypes.rdf over
your own mimeTypes.rdf under $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/{something}.default,
or merge in the changes to your own mimeTypes.rdf.

a/ntfs-3g-1.2712-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.2712.
This has been compiled to use the internal FUSE library rather than the
system FUSE library. The benefit of this is that if /bin/ntfs-3g is make
setuid root, then non-root users can use it to mount NTFS partitions if
/etc/fstab allows it. Also, this version of ntfs-3g would require the CVS
version of external FUSE, so that helped make this an easy choice.
a/util-linux-ng-2.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-ng-2.14.
x/mesa-7.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mesa-7.0.3.
We've had a few reports that this new mesa version fixes some instability
issues people were having with mesa-7.0.2. While it's not usually a good
idea to run -current packages on older Slackware versions, this mesa package
should be fully compatible with a patched-up Slackware 12.1 box. If mesa is
causing issues for you, it might be worth a try. At worst you'd have to go
back to the older package.
When we make changes to the libraries or toolchain that would make -current
break compatibility with Slackware 12.1, we will try to make note of it here.
However, we don't always know what side effects or regressions an update may
cause, but will do the best we can to offer a heads-up where possible.
xap/seamonkey-1.1.11-i486-1.tgz:

n/bind-9.4.2_P1-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to bind-9.4.2-P1.
This upgrade addresses a security flaw known as the CERT VU#800113 DNS Cache
Poisoning Issue. This is the summary of the problem from the BIND site:
"A weakness in the DNS protocol may enable the poisoning of caching
recurive resolvers with spoofed data. DNSSEC is the only full solution.
New versions of BIND provide increased resilience to the attack."
It is suggested that sites that run BIND upgrade to one of the new packages
in order to reduce their exposure to DNS cache poisoning attacks.

slackware/l/jre-6u10_beta-i586-1.tgz: Upgraded to Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard
Edition Runtime Environment Version 6.0 update 10 beta. This is a BETA
VERSION and may contain problems, but it may also fix an issue with CUPS
printing. If this fix is important to you, it may be worth giving this
package a try at your own risk. For now, -current seems like the only prudent
place for this package. Hopefully we will see official 6u10 releases soon.

According to the rdesktop ChangeLog, this contains a:
"* Fix for potential vulnerability against compromised/malicious servers

This package build also includes the new alsa driver (--with-sound=alsa),
though I couldn't get local sound redirection. Perhaps it was just my

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.
