I can't understand what you are talking about and do not want to visit a twitter-like website. If it's difficult for you to write in English I suggest you clearly state what you mean in Russian, translate it into English using https://www.deepl.com/translator then paste here the translation.

Mesa 21.1.3

plasma-nm openconnect support for Cisco and Juniper devices

This was still not included as of plasma-nm-5.22.0-x86_64-1.

The original request here.

Libzip 1.8.0

kernel config (generic)
 

I suggest to either disable the driver snd_pcsp or at least blacklist it by default in /etc/modprobe.d. Most computers nowadays have a sound card anyway, and having both pcspkr and snd_pcsp shipped as modules lead to weird issues like brltty not working in graphical mode (not displaying on the Braille device the text spoken by Orca).

Tested with 5.12.11.

EDIT: blacklisted in Slackware current since end of last year, sorry for the noise :redface:

Dovecot v2.3.15 (some security fixes and quite a lot of other changes as well)

Requesting to adding to mysqld_safe (or better, change mysqld_safe to mariadbd-safe) so rc.mysqld does not leave shell exec open after the daemon process started.

From mysqld_safe (mariadbd-safe) manpage:

Hi,

There's an ELF in /etc: /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so.

It would be better to have it under /usr/libexec if possible.

Thanks for exiv2-0.27.4.

Could you add the flag in the SlackBuild in order to be able for exiv2 to read these kind of files (like the CR3 raw format from Canon) ?

I also had to recompile digikam after exiv2 to be able to see the EXIF data for these kind of files.

Thx.

I was just going to post the same thing. I need it for Darktable (from SBo) to read EXIF data in Canon CR3 files.

kernel 5.12.13 security fix
 

From https://lwn.net/Articles/860653/:

"Note that 5.12.13 and 5.10.46 contain a fix for a significant Spectre vulnerability"

LXC 2.0.x is no longer maintained, can a newer LTS release be included please?

+lots

Would TeX Live 2021 be appropriate?

Cool, when I looked, it didnt show this on the slackware.com web site.

In fact for me it still shows the update on 24 of june.

http://www.slackware.com/changelog/c...php?cpu=x86_64

PipeWire 0.3.31
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipew...eleases#0.3.31

Actually it is the same over here, but the .txt file:
>>> ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s.../ChangeLog.txt
shows the Mon Jun 28 update. Idem for the slackware.uk mirror:
>>> http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackw.../ChangeLog.txt
:D

slackware.com looks for a mirror near you which could not have been synced since a few days but osuosl is the primary mirror, hence the discrepancy.

Thanks Didier, I suppose it was something like that.

pango-1.48.6
https://download.gnome.org/sources/p...-1.48.6.tar.xz

Second the update/inclusion of Tex Live 2021 (https://tug.org/texlive/)!

Guys this looks like handwaving ...
Is there a way to figure out which mirror is the culprit here? Or a way to influence the choice of the mirror? Without these the usefulness of slackware.com is limited ...
:D

The workaround is to ftp down the text file. But ftp is (being) phased out -- at least Firefox now no longer "understands" the URL ... But luckily Caja does!
Actually there is something fishy with the ftp links on http://www.slackware.com/changelog/. Firefox used to and Caja does report 'Could not display "/tmp/mozilla_root0/ChangeLog.txt"', whereas Firefox shows e.g. the http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackw.../ChangeLog.txt file without a hitch.
:(

I googled for "firefox ftp support" and found https://www.trishtech.com/2021/04/ho...rt-in-firefox/.
At least for now the ftp links in http://www.slackware.com/changelog/ work again.
:D

Just a hunch: Might it be that the Changelog.txt file has become too big (it is 1.5 MB now!) to be handled properly by the "x86_64 Architecture" link?
:D

SeaMonkey 2.53.8 released
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seam...x86_64.tar.bz2

Just in case we will switch to:

NetworkManager-1.32.2
https://download.gnome.org/sources/N...-1.32.2.tar.xz

PS: BTW I still see only up to June 24 the updates on slackware.com

Thanks for fix python2 collection modules , i love when pip2 or pip3 says all is fine.

I found this 64 bit changelog are stuck , but 32 bit works ..


http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386

I stopped using the website a few years ago after the page loading became too much for my old work computer. It would stall out because of how long the ChangeLog is.

Now, I just open up the direct link for the ChangeLog (using my preferred mirror) and have that bookmarked. For those who like the old OSUOSL FTP link, you can actually just switch from ftp to https and view the ChangeLog on the same servers, just https protected now.

We haven't seen the code on how the ChangeLog page is generated. It might just be a script that is broken or it might be pointing to an out-of-date mirror. Other than the usefulness of the link itself, I don't think there's any other benefits by accessing the webpage instead of the ChangeLog directly.

I confirm, i386 is showing 30/06/2021 as latest update here.

the latest seamonkey-2.53.8 is released and contain security fixes

Seconded, and also guidance on how we can add the additional stuff (docs | extra | fonts).

Request to recompile mc with --enable-aspell option to enable spellchecking with its internal editor. It looks like it just requires aspell to be installed, so there shouldn't be any additional dependencies. It was noted on this thread.

libseat
see my prior post
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...re-4175696916/

For God's sake! Now that we replaced ConsoleKit2 with elogind, let's stuck with it!

I have no emotional attachment for elogind, BUT looks like it does a fine job for user sessions, seats and power management, even for Wayland/Plasma5.

So, we are more or less compatible with the other major distributions, even we do not use systemd. I think this is the most important thing.

Since sway is not part of Slackware, I see no reason to add libseat.
You can compile libseat with support for elogind and then you can have both libseat and elogind on your computer.
I would expect that someone would add a SlackBuild for libseat to slackbuilds.org once Slackware 15.0 has been released. Will you be its maintainer?

The GNU coreutils package in Slackware is built with a configure-time option of DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209. This was added back in 2006 to prevent packages using obsolete command line params from breaking. I'm wondering when the last time was that this was revisited, as I've encountered a problem that I traced back to this forced default, specifically that tail -c +[NUM] does not work (e.g. echo "abc" | tail -c +1 fails with tail: cannot open '+1' for reading: No such file or directory). This can be worked around by setting the environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION=200809. I'm going to override this system-wide and see if anything breaks.

I second the request and no there is no other deps.


Also noteworthy - on build I had unknown option errors --enable-extcharset --enable-netcode --with-ext2undel --with-vfs

So unless they are introduced in the patch (I just built direct from source with your configure options) , might want to verify and clean them up too Pat.

Also there is a keymap to linkit to ctl-p if you enable aspell, be nice to enable it too ;)

I might add also that php 7.4.21 is formally released

In case Pat doesn't update to texlive-2021, the -docs/-extra(-fonts doesn't exists anymore, was merged in -extra) packages on SBo will have to stay
at version 2020, too.
If you now need 2021 on -current, your best option might be to uninstall the stock texlive package and go the route with
the generic texlive installation, https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html

pango-1.48.7
https://download.gnome.org/sources/p...-1.48.7.tar.xz

Thanks @franzen for the update.

@volkerdi do you have any plans to update TeXLive to 2021? Just asking so that I know whether to wait for it or just go with the generic texlive. Thanks!

After the last updates (I did
Fri Jul 2 21:05:49 UTC 2021
Thu Jul 1 18:15:40 UTC 2021
Wed Jun 30 18:28:50 UTC 2021
together) after Plasma came up I was asked, for the first time I think, to give the root password so Plasma could read the SMART results something something. Is this to be expected?
I hope it's okay I didn't open a new thread, even though this is not a request.

I normally have two Plasmas started for two different (non-root) users.
The dialog you mention, I observe it popping up quite often.
It would be nice it didn't behave like that.

In reference to AlienBOB's most recent post: my life has been messy the last few weeks but if/when things get back to normal I will recompile my libseat/sway packages and update to 1.6.1 from 1.6(they are currently built with slackbuilds based on AlienBOB's slackbuild generator) and then rebase the slackbuilds to whatever template / standards slackbuilds.org furnishes and ask whoever is the god at slackbuilds.org if he would have me as provider/maintainer for libseat/wlroots/sway slackbuilds. I am retired and when my life is running as it should , I need a hobbies. However, I have no coding background ( I have taken only one computer class in my life, FORTRAN for engineers in 1983 when homework programs were submitted on cards and the output from the computer science department wide communal dot matrix printer was collected the next day, and I haven't used and don't remember a single FORTRAN command any time in the last 30 years). In my professional life I did mechanical maintenance and replacement contracts for industrial installations and controls and power supply were by my electrical colleagues. In conclusion, maybe it would be an error to accept me as maintainer, because I am at a self taught hack at this linux business and a hack of the weakest sort at that. I just want my personnel linux boxes to do what I want them to do, and I look into linux deeply enough to do that until I succeed or acknowledge failure, and then move on to something else (like my motorcycles).

Hey biker_rat, thats cool. Dont worry, maintaining something is not so difficult, and I am sure you will be able to do it. I can tell you that bash is not so complicated and from what you wrote you will get it quickly. After that is just simply call the build script to do its job. When things go wrong you have a lot of people around on internet to ask for help :)

Sorry, wrong thread...
