I really do not understand what's wrong here... o_O?

Hi,

I've been thinking about it for quite some time, but in the end I decided I couldn't be bothered doing the actual job.
So here I just would like to hint you.

Maybe it would be worth reimplementing rc.networkmanager using pgrep/pkill?
Probably the most appealing function is possibility of killing processes based on parent PID.
For example, before killing wpa_supplicant, you can ensure it was actually started by NM.
And you could reduce the grep magic that is happening in the script at the moment.
(Note: there's nothing wrong with that, pgrep/pkill would just yield cleaner implementation).
And, as somebody mentioned it somewhere earlier, you can deal with namespaces correctly too.

New versions of ImageMagick:
ImageMagick-6.9.9-42.tar.xz;

also, may be interesting (for other dudes):

ImageMagick-7.0.7-30.tar.xz.

Official announce will be later. :)

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" OST

This LTS actually is too short, it is almost only one and a half years from now on.
It is time to move on to the new version (Note, 1.1 series will break binary API, so any dependent packages need to be recompiled.), besides 1.1.1 will soon to be release with support of TLS 1.3.

Quote:

Note: The latest stable version is the 1.1.0 series. The 1.0.2 series is our Long Term Support (LTS) release, supported until 31st December 2019. The 0.9.8, 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 versions are now out of support and should not be used.

Well for starters: you are advertizing your russian Linux distro spin-off (? I don't think it's even alive) by suggesting useless changes to Slackware build scripts that only seem to benefit you. Stop that please.

Also, you actively participate in the generic brou-ha-ha of "hey man! new version X of software Y" as if Patrick is too lame to keep track himself. If there's a good reason to upgrade a program (new features, critical fixes) then your post becomes much more useful if you actually mention the benefits. Otherwise it's just vocally farting in this thread.

Let me use your bold red writing style to point out that this is the Slackware forum and it is kind of insulting to rape a Slackware script, put your name and your distro in it, and then re-post it here with the request to adopt it? Who's the fool here?

Indeed Emacs doesn't work at the moment. It works if one goes to /usr/lib64 and creates symlinks libMagickCore-6.Q16HDRI.so.5 and libMagickWand-6.Q16HDRI.so.5 to libMagickCore-6.Q16HDRI.so.6 and libMagickWand-6.Q16HDRI.so.6, respectively.

Oh, well... now I understand. ;)

For those who does not know yet, at least unofficial being said, the Russian Government pays armies of "professional writers", who post messages in various media, on the Russian Federation interests.

Let's say they are trying to disseminate the Kremlin's POV on particular subjects, doing social engineering or maybe just some particular surveillance. I guess the reasons varies.

So, dear Ne01eX... you had been assigned to the Slackware forum? :D

Well, I believe that's OK. After all, it is nothing wrong on earning some money from posting messages in a forum and hanging there.

BUT please be aware that this is a very technical forum, so like our BDFL said, better improve your signal to noise ratio, to try to be useful for this particular Slackware community and TO ADAPT YOURSELF to this very community.

For example, you can start with reporting issues found by you in -current or helping other forum members. ;)

Xlockmore does need to be recompiled it currently gives this error until you rebuild it:

/usr/bin/xlock: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore-6.Q16HDRI.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is a new version 5.55 of xlockmore at
http://www.sillycycle.com/xlockmore.html

Thanks for the gimp-10.0.0 and associated files.
It works great, and I can clean up my old system
for this program (in /opt) and make good use of
the new additions for gimp-2.10.x (I'm always
building in git).

It would be nice if you included Darktable. It's
a great editor for RAW files, such as those that
come from Nikon, Canon, and the other DSLR makers.
These days it puts out a better image than ufraw.

ntfs-3g in the Slackware installer

Use case: a former Windows user needs to back up files on an NTFS partition of an external HD or SSD first and can't do it from the (already broken) Windows system.

Maybe a corner case, but I came across it yesterday. The ntfs-3g package is not heavy and can be stripped down.

how about latest commit of libimobiledevice from GitHub? Helps mounting iPhone SE, I guess new iPhones, too.

The next thing these former Windows users will then ask for is a GUI and before we know we will have a live CD like Porteus or PartedMagic ...

You made me realize that I could build vte3 without vala thus I could do without it, so thanks for the heads-up :D

Out of curiosity I just upgraded vala to 0.40.4. It weighs 14M installed, without the deps.

nghttp2-1.32.0 is released.

I just saw the OpenSSL upgrade (and related rebuilds) in -current and wanted to say thank you :-)

efivar-35 and efibootmgr-16

efivar-35 is now a (small: 360K installed) dependency of efibootmgr-16 (2I0K installed)
New homes, c/o the Red Hat Bootloader Team (Maybe other software maintained by this team are also worth including):
https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr
https://github.com/rhboot/efivar

Matt Domsch @ Intel is still the main developer of efibootmgr.

A new binary, efibootdump, is shipped in addition to efibootmgr: it queries the entries of the firmware's menu.

I attach the options of the versions 5.4 (currently in -current) and 16 of efibootmgr.

Code snippet of the updated build script of efibootmgr:

Code:

tar xvf $CWD/$PKGNAM-$VERSION.tar.?z* || exit 1

cd $PKGNAM-$VERSION



chown -R root:root .



# We assume that an ESP is mounted as /boot/efi

EFIDIR=/boot/efi make || exit 1



# Install:

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/sbin

cp src/{efibootmgr,efibootdump} $PKG/usr/sbin

chown -R root:root $PKG/usr/sbin

chmod -R 755 $PKG/usr/sbin



# Add a documentation directory:

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/doc/${PKGNAM}-$VERSION

cp -a \

  AUTHORS COPYING INSTALL README TODO \

  $PKG/usr/doc/${PKGNAM}-$VERSION

chmod 755 $PKG/usr/doc/${PKGNAM}-$VERSION

chmod 644 $PKG/usr/doc/${PKGNAM}-$VERSION/*

A SlackBuild for efivars is available @ SBo, thanks to Andrew Clemons.

Caveat: I have built, installed and run this stuff in a system based on Slackware-14.2. However this should work as well on Slackware-current.

PS in case someone wonders: there is already a header file /usr/include/efi/protocol/efivar.h shipped in gnu-efi, but it differs from /usr/include/efivar/efivar.h shipped in efivar and needed by efibootmgr.

xorg-server-1.20 is finally out !!!
