Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)

Ok, just added nomodeset to the append line in lilo.conf and I comment out all vga lines but getting this warning:
Warning: Video adapter does not support VESA BIOS extensions needed for
display of 256 colors. Boot loader will fall back to TEXT only operation.

I can confirm that with nomodeset added I have the console visible. Thanks.

 This will be the default MTA in the next Slackware release. Thanks to
 Alan Hicks, Mario Preksavec, and /dev/rob0 for assistance.

And Dovecot is now somehow the default IMAP and POP3 email server.

Very nice small utility, I have replace redshift with it. And a SlackBuilds.org script has been submitted, you could now build it from SlackBuilds.org

Could we have

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO = y

in the kernel?

I am trying to bisect the kernel to find out why my modem stopped working on 5.4.1. (it worked on 5.4.0), and autoversioning would help to avoid confusing modules_install.

Just my opinion on that, but a bisection is already cumbersome enough that I've always just made a quick edit to the .config to add "b1" and then "b2" and so on after each "git bisect (good|bad)" invocation...

Can the rust package be built for i586 instead of i686?

The rust devs seem to think that i686 means Pentium4+SSE2 (it never has and it never will), and the result is something that won't work on all i686 machines. I've got an Athlon XP 2500+ that is unable to run rustc/firefox/seamonkey/etc. since they're all contaminated with SSE2 instructions.

But your box with Athlon XP 2500+ has enough memory and computing power to accommodate memory hogs like those Firefox or Seamonkey or, with some enthusiasm and patience, to compile them?

I am afraid that that Pentium4+SSE2 is for real a bare minimum to run decently a modern Firefox.

He's asking for the rust compiler alone, I assume he's compiling FF and SM on his own and compiling rust too is a bit too much for him to compile every now and then?

For the latest kernel 5.4.1 (currently 5.4.2), please remove the support for EFI Runtime Configuration Interface Table Version 2 Support for the Dell EMC PowerEdge (kernel config option CONFIG_EFI_RCI2_TABLE=y). The kernel is Ooops-ing/crashing on my Acer Aspire One Atom N270 with this option and there were other related 5.4.1 kernel on 32bit systems crash reports.

In the kernel config file, please change:

CONFIG_EFI_RCI2_TABLE=y

- to its default state:

# CONFIG_EFI_RCI2_TABLE is not set
