Maybe its time to pull in a few small wayland centric desktops based on wlroots for next slackware release? labWC (wayland openbox), lxqt-2.0 (explains itself), & sway (wayland i3)? The total sum in additional bytes for all binaries for all three together is small. Maybe its time for some stuff fresher than blackbox, fluxbox, and fvwm?
Maybe lancsuk will have LXQt 2.0 ready after the week-end. Stay tuned

l/glibc-2.39-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
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.
For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-2961
(* Security fix *)
____________
affected from 2.1.93 before 2.40

v2.1.93 is from September of 2000
Soooo.... this bug has been "hiding" for over 23 years ?!?

Yes, but on the bright side it seems rather useless for any sort of targeted attack.

Glad to hear that,
because it would be pretty-darned difficult for the 'average user'
to backport the security fix into all EOLed versions all the way back to Slackware v7.x
but on the bright side it seems rather useless for any sort of targeted attack.
Just like the hardware flaws on CPUs which arrived to become some pandemic (but academic) ways to gain fame, sometimes money and nothing more, while they slow down the computers all around the World.
I know, I know, they hypothetically matter for hosts servers of untrusted VMs. Which hypothetically may run Slackware as host...
Well, that's hypothetically, but the computers slow down is real.

How's enlightenment these days with wayland? I've used it (off and on) for years and have always been impressed with it. I tried it a year or so ago, and it didn't play nicely with pipewire at the time. (Although that could've changed.)
But I would think simpler things, like sway, hyprland, labwc, etc fit the mold much better. There are a ton of required packages for the entire nwg-shell environment (including the aformentioned ones). But LxQT would be a perfect addition I believe (and 2.0 does work just fine!). The panel bug which was found, has been patched.
Perhaps Postfix should be recompiled to remove this:
Doesn't 0001-openssl-micro-mismatch-nowarn.patch.gz take care of that?
EDIT: I see what I missed, thanks.
EDIT2: Actually, no I don't.
I take it this message is logged in the maillog? Any easy way for me to try to trigger this?
I've checked, and if the 0001 patch is applied, I don't get a hit grepping for "run-time library vs. compile-time header" in libpostfix-tls.so. Without the patch, I do.
