Perhaps this means that Patrick submitted the SlackBuild then it was approved as-is by alienBOB. This is a vocabulary used by projects like GRUB where a few people are given the role or responsibility of approving a change before it is applied or committed (in case of GRUB in the source tree), giving their acked-by or reviewed-by. This analogy is pure speculation on my part though, as I do not know the roles or responsibilities of the Slackware contributors.

PS Perhaps there is no formal organization involved, Patrick just requested a review from Eric.

11 updates (x86_64) : 7 Upgraded, 4 Rebuilt

Code:

Sat Feb 24 19:50:05 UTC 2024
a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-10.txz:  Rebuilt.
  setup.services: typo/syntax error fix. Thanks to gramaxo and pghvlaans.
a/xz-5.6.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
ap/man-pages-6.06-noarch-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Restored the previously included posix pages, and added the posix "sh" page
  since it's more correct than getting the ksh page for "sh".
  Thanks to pghvlaans.
d/git-2.44.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
kde/kdnssd-5.115.0-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Recompiled to add Zeroconf support. (This one fooled me because it doesn't
  actually link to any avahi libraries.)
  Thanks to audriusk.
kde/kid3-3.9.5-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
l/libpng-1.6.43-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.

Code:

Sun Feb 25 19:16:52 UTC 2024
a/etc-15.1-x86_64-7.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Don't leave {group,gshadow,passwd,shadow}.new laying around.
  We'd left these as a reference in case new default entries were added so that
  the admin could take a look at them and merge the new entries into the
  existing files. But we've been merging them over automatically for quite some
  time. The files contain no unique information and are sort of a footbullet.
ap/qpdf-11.9.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
ap/vim-9.1.0136-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
n/whois-5.5.21-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  Updated the .cv and .sd TLD servers.
  Removed 4 new gTLDs which are no longer active.
xap/vim-gvim-9.1.0136-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
xfce/xfce4-terminal-1.1.2-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  [PATCH] screen: Fix wrong assert.
  Thanks to J_W.
  [PATCH] prefs-dialog: Fix wrong assert.
  Thanks to mario.

  Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in
  sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use
  this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application
  compiled against openjpeg.

n/wpa_supplicant-2.10-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched the implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant to prevent an
  authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be
  configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1
  authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused
  to skip Phase 2 authentication. The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV
  Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to
  impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

We can wish, but nary a word yet about all of the related GRUB changes, let alone user testing of those changes.

A wild gander is Pat waits until final KDE Gear/Plasma changes are released. Kind of like with Slackware 12.2 (released Dec 9 2008) and the final KDE 3.5.10 (released Aug 26 2008).

Would be nice to be a fly on the wall to see what remains on Pat's check list. But years ago I gave up guessing what is on his release check lists. Which is good because his knowledge of operating systems is at least ten-fold more than what I know!

garpu · 03-02-2024, 01:24 PM

I'm wondering if we won't get a version or two of Plasma 6 before the beta.

Following the various news feeds indicates a common flurry of X.0 bug reports. Nothing like the KDE 4.0 fiasco, but enough that pushing KDE 6.0 into 15.1 would tarnish the reputation of stable Slackware releases. Pat rarely adopts anything bleeding edge. Thankfully he has publicly committed to 5.27.

Edit: Oops. Looks like Pat already replied while I was busy elsewhere leaving my reply hanging.
