Can cmake 3.6 be added to current? Its required for ppsspp now and this makes it problematic to update build scripts for it when slackware has cmake 3.5.2, even if they would be only for slackware current for now.

is it still too controversial to ask for PAM to be included in the next release?

This thread is more for updates to existing packages as well as necessary required dependencies if any are needed.

You can request it to be added in another thread, but currently PAM is still optional to the system. There are other repositories that add PAM, and some unofficial packages contributed by others, but traditionally, the core system only adds what is required for a functioning and featured system. Unless it becomes a required dependency, rather than a recommended or optional dependency to any existing packages, the chances are what they are, entirely at Patrick's discretion.

Two new kernels are out:

it an LTS release. The two may be related, with people pushing to get
their stuff ready. Regardless, the more people who help test, and the
earlier in the rc series those people start testing, the better off
we'll be. Hint hint.

Hi,

Xfce has seen some development, maybe it would be worth looking at and pulling in into -current?

In the meantime, there were some bug fix releases, namely:
- xfce4-panel-4.12.1
- xfce4-settings-4.12.1
- xfconf-4.12.1
Maybe it would be worth to spin patches for -14.2?

xfce4-panel-4.12.1 and xfconf-4.12.1 compile without any changes to SlackBuilds.
For xfce4-settings-4.12.1 to build, xfce.xfsettingsd.display.crtc.diff.gz and 0001-Make-sure-icon-NULL-if-no-icon-is-found.patch have to be removed. Those patches are included in the upstream 4.12.1 version.

slrn is 22 years old this year and there has been a new bug-fix release of slrn 1.0.3 late in October. Details here:

Great to see John E. Davis (JED) still working on this great Usenet application!

Oh, wait! MacOS is not even BSD based, like MacOS/X...

You know, Slackware, like any Linux, is Linux not BSD based...
If it bothers you then you could go to a death by committee distro, like say Ubuntu or Debian. Enjoy your systemd there. MacOS now means MacOS X, just to point out, you know, the bloody obvious. A userland improvement really does not matter so much whether the kernel is *BSD, or Linux. Pointing out more obvious. You know if this lack of death of committee bothers you, then why are you using the Linux kernel in the first place? What we have here is a failure to cognate.

Hi,

Maybe TAR should be updated due to CVE? :-)

gnu tar 1.29 is the latest on their ftp site. I guess they haven't made a new release yet.

More details here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5623706

I've built 4.4.28 under -current today and it seems to work.
