a/less-653-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
This update patches a security issue:
less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the
name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation
typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files
extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN
environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.

This update fixes a security issue:
The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may
overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting
strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash
an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.

a/elogind-252.23-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
All right, it's time to stop the bleeding (edge). This has been verified as
the last working version of elogind, so we'll revert for now while moving the
newer sources into /testing. We didn't actually *need* the 255 branch for
libgudev (I was mistakenly under that impression), so this will be fine for
now. We'll keep an eye on upstream and move forward when things settle down.

n/NetworkManager-1.46.0-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Build with meson instead of autotools, since setting session_tracking to
elogind is ignored with autotools, and is set to consolekit instead.
While this didn't seem to make a difference in practice, better to get this
right now and rule it out as part of the issue.
Thanks to marav and LuckyCyborg for the options hints.

This release is a security release and addresses multiple issues:
[Low] OutOfBound Read in zgfx_decompress_segment.
[Moderate] Integer overflow & OutOfBound Write in
clear_decompress_residual_data.
[Low] integer underflow in nsc_rle_decode.
[Low] OutOfBound Read in planar_skip_plane_rle.
[Low] OutOfBound Read in ncrush_decompress.

OK, this is looking good enough to return to the main tree now.
Thanks to hamkg, ctrlaltca, and rizitis for helping to debug the sleep issues
with upstream, and to Sven Eden for the upstream fixes. I've changed the
default sleep mode from s2idle to deep as s2idle still locks up most of the
systems I've tried it on. Eventually we'll probably have to swallow this pill
though (more notes on that in the SlackBuild).
It didn't seem like recompiling polkit again was necessary, but correct me if
I'm wrong about that.

extra/emacs-regular-build/emacs-29.3-x86_64-2_regular.txz: Rebuilt.
This is a bugfix release.
Only build the X11/GTK+3 version. Use "emacs -nw" if you want to start it
in a terminal emulator in text mode, or rebuild if you really need to get
rid of the X11 dependency for some reason.
Build using --with-pdumper=auto. It seems that --with-dumping=unexec produces
a buggy Emacs here in the modern era, with symptoms such as "child signal FD:
Invalid argument". It's possible this had something to do with the reported
memory leaks as well.
Thanks to 3Tom for the bug report.
