Slackware 13.37

Thom1b · 03-22-2011, 07:31 AM

While installing slackware-13.37rc3, I see that installation of openssl shows an error line which tells "md5sum: etc/cron.daily/certwatch: No such file or directory". If I'm right, this is because of this code in doinst.sh :

Code:

# If there is a known buggy certwatch script with no local
# modifications, just replace it:
if [ "$(md5sum etc/cron.daily/certwatch)" = "32556321806f1850d56cb2ef8384b7a1  etc/cron.daily/certwatch" ]; then
  cat etc/cron.daily/certwatch.new > etc/cron.daily/certwatch
  touch -r etc/cron.daily/certwatch.new etc/cron.daily/certwatch
fi

Maybe it could be a good idea to test if "etc/cron.daily/certwatch" exists before :

Code:

# If there is a known buggy certwatch script with no local
# modifications, just replace it:
if [ -f etc/cron.daily/certwatch ]; then
  if [ "$(md5sum etc/cron.daily/certwatch)" = "32556321806f1850d56cb2ef8384b7a1  etc/cron.daily/certwatch" ]; then
    cat etc/cron.daily/certwatch.new > etc/cron.daily/certwatch
    touch -r etc/cron.daily/certwatch.new etc/cron.daily/certwatch
  fi
fi

I'd like to see Opera there as well. If gconf could be added...

I hope and pray that GConf never makes it past extra/.

Also xfsprogs have a new 3.1.4 release in Nov 2010.

Code:

xfsprogs-3.1.4 (9 November 2010)
        - Add projid32bit handling to userspace, resolving type
          sizing issues when dealing with 32 bit project ids.
        - Make xfs_fsr use /proc/mounts if available.

Nothing serious in changelog, so its not a major issue but i thought to mention it.

You mean firefox, or Slackware?

GConf is an attempt to recreate the MS Windows registry system in Linux.

See here for more on that problem :-

For the longest time, it was taking about 3 minutes to boot to KDE.

I know this is off topic. What is the status for the Slackbook revision? I've searched and can not find anything. Care to share?

Diminishing rapidly.

Slackware is good for many things, but not cats!
