The font selection you mentioned is actually a post-installation configuration for the OS. The modification in the installer build script, as noted in the change log, simply adds a font into the Installer environment's font repository. There are now three fonts available within the Installer environment, all to address the challenges posed by large screen resolutions that make the font too small to easily read. In your case, the default Installer font used on ARM (which doesn't apply to x86) was too large for your monitor, so now there'll be another choice. You'll be able to use the 'setfont' to change it from the Installer's shell.

Thanks, Stuart, for clearing that up. Wonder if there's anybody else out there running Slackware ARM on the RPi 400? Or am I the only one in the Universe?*

It's a neat little thing, but the keyboard's crap.
* I forgot pchristy, that's 2 of us.

By added that means two mozjs versions now I take it?

What depends on the older one still, polkit? There was a 124 release for polkit from January that uses this newer mozjs-115 version. (disclaimer: haven't tried it myself).

Just curious what's going on there, having dabbled with the mozjs & gjs slackbuilds in the past.

Also the lib name was libmozjs102 in the mozjs115 package it needs to be changed to libmozjs115

gvfs-1.54.0-x86_64-1.txz **seems** to break sftp support in Thunar, and possibly other network VFS.

Rolling back to gvfs-1.52.2-x86_64-2.txz fixes the bug

28 updates (x86_64). Including a (* Security fix *)! : 8 Upgraded, 15 Rebuilt, 2 Added, 3 Removed

Code:

Wed Mar 20 21:10:30 UTC 2024
a/libblockdev-2.28-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Drop python2 support.
a/sysvinit-scripts-15.1-noarch-15.txz:  Rebuilt.
  rc.M: start rc.iceccd and rc.icecc-scheduler earlier.
a/util-linux-2.39.3-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Drop python2 support.
a/volume_key-0.3.12-x86_64-6.txz:  Rebuilt.

  Bundle the final python2 versions of pip and setuptools.
  Drop the /usr/bin/python symlink.
d/python3-3.9.19-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  Point the /usr/bin/python symlink at python3.9.
  PEP 394 says we can do this, and in a world of ambigious shebangs, this
  is probably the best of the available options.
  This update also fixes security issues:
  bundled libexpat was updated to 2.6.0.
  zipfile is now protected from the "quoted-overlap" zipbomb.
  tempfile.TemporaryDirectory cleanup no longer dereferences symlinks when
  working around file system permission errors.

  Good bye!
l/python2-pycairo-1.18.2-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.
  We'll need this (along with pygtk and pygobject) until we get gimp3.
  Well, we could build gimp without python support, but I really don't think
  that's the route we want to take.
n/bind-9.18.25-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
n/crda-4.15-x86_64-1.txz:  Removed.
  The kernel is able to load from wireless-regdb directly. Obsolete.

  Drop python2 support.
x/libkkc-0.3.5-x86_64-4.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Still forcing python2 with this one, but perhaps a python3 marisa module
  could work around this.
x/libkkc-data-0.2.7-x86_64-4.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Still forcing python2 with this one, but perhaps a python3 marisa module
  could work around this.
x/xcb-proto-1.16.0-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.

extra/bash-completion/bash-completion-2.12.0-noarch-1.txz:  Upgraded.

On my slackware64-current, bash-completion-2.12.0-noarch-1 no longer auto completes the remote paths for the scp commands. If I revert it back to bash-completion-2.11-noarch-2 from the 15.0 release, then it works fine again.

EDIT:
If others confirm, then I'll file a bug report upstream.
