Thanks to Piter Punk. +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 21 11:39:12 CDT 2008 xap/imagemagick-6.4.3_6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled using the --without-modules option, which seems to work around the issue with processing ps and eps files.

Thanks to Stuart Winter! :-) +--------------------------+ Sat Sep 20 15:15:49 CDT 2008 l/gnome-icon-theme-2.23.92-noarch-2.tgz: The previous package was missing 3354 symlinks to alternate icon names. Thanks to Tom Nardi for letting me know about the new --enable-icon-mapping option. l/libpng-1.2.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.2.32. xap/imagemagick-6.4.3_6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.4.3-6. This, like the previous package, fails when "convert foo.eps foo.png" is tried. It's not a Slackware problem (I see it elsewhere when searching), but the imagemagick package from 12.1 works... unless it is recompiled.

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.

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/less-418-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to less-418. 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.

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. d/gcc-gnat-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4. d/gcc-java-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4. d/gcc-objc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-4.2.4. d/git-1.6.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to git-1.6.0.1. d/guile-1.8.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to guile-1.8.5. d/kernel-headers-2.6.24.7_smp-x86-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7 headers. d/mercurial-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mercurial-1.0.2. d/perl-5.10.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to perl-5.10.0. d/python-2.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against Tcl/Tk 8.5.4. d/subversion-1.5.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to subversion-1.5.2. k/kernel-source-2.6.24.7_smp-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.7. kde/amarok-1.4.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/k3b-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeaccessibility-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeaddons-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeadmin-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeartwork-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdebase-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdebindings-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdeedu-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdegames-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. kde/kdegraphics-3.5.10-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.

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.

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. kde/kdetoys-3.5.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to kdetoys-3.5.10. +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 26 22:21:31 CDT 2008 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.

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. +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 9 15:32:37 CDT 2008 n/alpine-1.10-i486-2.tgz: Fixed path for SSL certs.

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. d/python-2.5.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched various overflows and other security problems.

This fixes several security issues related to the automatic processing of untrusted files. For more information, see: http://www.rdancer.org/vulnerablevim.html (* Security fix *) l/libxml2-2.6.32-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml2-2.6.32. l/libxslt-1.1.24-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxslt-1.1.24. A buffer overflow when processing XSL stylesheets could result in the execution of arbitrary code. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1767 (* Security fix *) l/pcre-7.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pcre-7.7. Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team found a buffer overflow triggered when handling certain regular expressions.

This release fixes a security issue in slapd (our package does not ship it.) n/openssh-5.1p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-5.1p1. When upgrading OpenSSH, it is VERY IMPORTANT to also upgrade OpenSSL, or it is possible to be unable to log back into sshd! n/openssl-0.9.8h-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.8h. The Codenomicon TLS test suite uncovered security bugs in OpenSSL. If OpenSSL was compiled using non-default options (Slackware's package is not), then a malicious packet could cause a crash. Also, a malformed TLS handshake could also lead to a crash.

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. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1447 (* 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. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 21 11:15:47 CDT 2008 xap/mozilla-firefox-3.0.1-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1. This fixes some security issues: For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox30.html 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.

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: Upgraded to Seamonkey 1.1.11. This release fixes some more security vulnerabilities.

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.

Perhaps it was just my command line error though, so the driver remains included for testing.

This fixes a bug where the "x86" ARCH was not recognized in a package name, leading to the kernel-headers package not getting properly upgraded. Thanks to Piter Punk! -:) +--------------------------+ Wed May 7 16:13:31 CDT 2008 n/php-5.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to PHP 5.2.6. This version of PHP contains many fixes and enhancements. Some of the fixes are security related, and the PHP release announcement provides this list: * Fixed possible stack buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI identified by Andrei Nigmatulin. * Fixed integer overflow in printf() identified by Maksymilian Aciemowicz. * Fixed security issue detailed in CVE-2008-0599 identified by Ryan Permeh. * Fixed a safe_mode bypass in cURL identified by Maksymilian Arciemowicz. * Properly address incomplete multibyte chars inside escapeshellcmd() identified by Stefan Esser. * Upgraded bundled PCRE to version 7.6 When last checked, CVE-2008-0599 was not yet open. However, additional information should become available at this URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0599 The list reproduced above, as well as additional information about other fixes in PHP 5.2.6 may be found in the PHP release announcement here: http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_6.php xap/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.14-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to thunderbird-2.0.0.14. This upgrade fixes some more security bugs. For more information, see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#thunderbird (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Thu May 1 13:36:34 CDT 2008 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.

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.

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.

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. a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.24.5 headers. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-10.tgz: Rebuilt. a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 uniprocessor generic.s (requires initrd) kernel. a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.5_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 SMP gensmp.s (requires initrd) kernel. a/kernel-huge-2.6.24.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 uniprocessor huge.s (full-featured) kernel. a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.24.5_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 SMP hugesmp.s (full-featured) kernel. a/kernel-modules-2.6.24.5-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 uniprocessor kernel modules. a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.24.5_smp-i686-1.tgz 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). ap/lm_sensors-2.10.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lm_sensors-2.10.6. d/kernel-headers-2.6.24.5_smp-x86-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 SMP kernel headers. a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-2.tgz: Updated the version numbers in README.initrd and manpage. k/kernel-source-2.6.24.5_smp-noarch-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.5 SMP kernel source package. l/glibc-2.7-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.24.5 headers. l/glibc-i18n-2.7-noarch-10.tgz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.7-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled against Linux 2.6.24.5 headers. l/jre-6u6-i586-2.tgz: Adjusted installation directory to avoid removing files from kdebindings.

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.

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. +--------------------------+ Fri Apr 4 22:08:08 CDT 2008 a/glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled. a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-9.tgz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-2.7-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled to fix a bad sln symlink (noticed by many, thanks). l/glibc-i18n-2.7-noarch-9.tgz: Rebuilt. 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 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.

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.

(see below) 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/acl-2.2.47_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acl-2.2.47_1. a/attr-2.4.41_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to attr-2.4.41_1. 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.

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. a/kernel-huge-2.6.24.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 uniprocessor huge.s (full-featured) kernel. a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.24.4_smp-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 SMP hugesmp.s (full-featured) kernel. a/kernel-modules-2.6.24.4-i486-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 uniprocessor kernel modules. a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.24.4_smp-i686-1.tgz Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.4 SMP kernel modules. ap/vim-7.1.285-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim-7.1.285. 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.

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.

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.

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 none in /etc/asound.state.

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.

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.

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. isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.23.15 SMP/UP kernel modules. isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to Linux 2.6.23.15 SMP/UP kernel modules. kernels/huge.s/*: Upgraded huge.s kernel to 2.6.23.15. 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. extra/linux-2.6.23.15-nosmp-sdk/: Updated SMP to no-SMP kernel source patch. +--------------------------+ Fri Feb 1 19:40:32 CST 2008 a/e2fsprogs-1.40.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.40.5. d/subversion-1.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to subversion-1.4.6. kde/kdesdk-3.5.8-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to pick up new apr/neon/svn libs.

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!
