What a great day to break things this weekend

Nice! Waiting for slackware64-current to sync :) Was just about to post a question on KDE power life estimates (I noticed it somewhat stopped showing up on my installation here,) but will try to sync to latest -current first before proceeding.

Are you referring to "Mercury305"? Sorry - I couldn't resist. :redface: |

I just noticed that gimp has been upgraded to 2.8.0. That is cool!
That is a reason for me to upgrade to the next stable release of Slackware ... whenever it is ready. ;) Willy - Thanks for your instructions/advice/info on how to build gimp 2.8.0. I got it up and running successfully on my Slackware 13.37 system. The single window mode is so much more convenient with fvwm. |
Awesomeness. :)

One down side: "Next, Java has gone away due to licensing restrictions..."
Guess no official AlienBOB OpenJDK, then... |

BTW, thanks to Pat and the crew for the huge update, especially for the glib/gtk one: gtk+3 is in -current! \o/ ( and I'm on holiday with a tethering connection until the end of july, bummer! :( ) |
Thanks for the updates!
There seems to be a problem with the new mkinitrd. The /init script reports "/sbin/udevadm not found" in lines 303, 307 and 308 during boot. |
and i notice that we use slackpkg upgrade-all, we would have problems after gnutls being upgraded since wget is still linked to the old gnutls.
If you wanted to use slackpkg upgrade-all, make sure that you have upgraded wget, p11-kit and gnutls first seems that p11-kit is missing in 32 bit -Current |

Code:
DOWNLOAD_ALL=on Markus |
Actually, it's due to missing p11-kit, otherwise, it would have been installed when we performed slackpkg install-new
|
nettle is needed for wget to run. I've had to download it with another computer after the system broke ;-)

Oh gracious BDFL
Small request with regard to the changelog text. Would it be possible to list all the removed packages and all the added packages at the start of the changelog? I feel that this would make upgrading easier and lead to less threads about broken systems on LQ. samac |
Hi,
my systems (slackware64-current) are running now after the massive upgrade. It seems that one has to do Code:
slackpg install-new Problem is that gnutls, p11 and nettle have to be upgraded/installed in order to get the upgraded version of wget running. On my server where DOWNLOAD_ALL=on is configured the "slackpkg upgrade-all" went well, but since wget was broken I could not run "slackpkg install-new". I had to rebuild google-chrome. USB was no longer working until I rebooted the system. Markus |
