libunwind-1.2.1-x86_64-1.txz: Added.

just for info, it seem some packages can be recompiled with libunwind support:

gstreamer, strace, mesa, xorg-server.

mesa-17.3.3:

https://mesa3d.org/relnotes/17.3.3.html
ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/mesa-17.3.3.tar.xz

Please consider the diff below for the next kernel package upgrade.
The important option is:
It allows cifs-utils to mount shares with sec=krb5. The others are good to have.


Cheers

I'm back to slackware :) as my primary desktop.



I really miss Docker package :)

A replacement for gftp
 

I found out tonight that gftp is discontinued. Latest Stable Version: 2.0.19 (11/30/2008). I wonder if it isn't time to move on?

I use it since a very,very, long time, and, every day now, it is light and efficient, as long as it works, I do not see the point of removing it ;)

I think that's because some parts of xfce still use(d) legacy icon names, and perhaps because Tango is pretty stale anyway. I'd personally like to replace it with elementary-xfce. Anyway, can you advise which icons are missing? I'll see about adding a fallback to the relevant package(s).

for this i have to check my work computer, where I had to install -current, so I can do it on Monday. I installed gnome-icon-theme from Slackware 14.1 and the issue is gone... The story is pretty similar to 14.2:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...5/#post5612653
https://slackalaxy.com/2016/07/17/legacy-icons-in-xfce/

I have Tango inheriting Adwaita inheriting hicolor and no missing icons.
The documentation suggests that hicolor is inherited implicitely, so the latter inherit is superfluous -- but does not hurt.

I had installed -current as of Mon Jan 15 23:13:01 UTC 2018 and my AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 card was supported, even 3D screensavers like 'Flurry' worked. Today I updated to -current as of Sat Jan 20 16:00:51 UTC 2018 and this is what I get when running glxgears:

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Compositor works.

EDIT:
I am an idiot... had to install libunwind and now everything works again... sorry, i am really not used to running -current...

yes.. but it will be nice to have docker, I use a lot docker in my daily job.

BUT, you have that Docker. You have just to install it from Slackbuilds.org :D

Or you want Slackware to include EVERYTHING by default? :p

OK, in this case I would like too: VirtualBox OSE, OpenJDK, Vagrant and so on...

But I think our BDFL will give a glorious NOPE to those requests of mine. ;)

And just as another option, I made a rebuild of the docker-ce package from download.docker.com for those who don't want/cannot build it: https://github.com/zakame/docker-ce-SlackBuild

I'm ok with docker not in the main repo since it is quite a moving target, and for the most part, you'd be getting additional tools anyway like docker-compose and/or docker-machine.

The new curl is no longer compiled with libssh2. Intended change?

curl-7.57.0-x86_64-1:
curl-7.58.0-x86_64-1:

gcc 7.3 released. This release includes code generation options to mitigate
Spectre Variant 2 (CVE 2017-5715)

kernel 4.14.15, since it fixes erroneous TSC rate on Skylake Xeon

+1
It also fixes hissing sound after suspend on xps13 9360 with 8th gen cpus

There's now a file .spectre_v2_timestamp in the current gcc source directory, which tells that gcc-compiled packages newer than that have been compiled using a compiler that contains this mitigation. But -mindirect-branch=thunk should also be added to SLKCFLAGS in all the SlackBuild scripts to actually use the new functionality.

EDIT: Or maybe the idea is that upstream will add it if sees necessary and Slackware will use it then.

Is this flag also applicable to gcc?
If so, need to build it twice, once without, and a second time with the new SLKCFLAGS?

GCC is built twice already. The build contains two stages: first a c compiler is built and in the second stage it uses that to compile the c compiler again (and the other languages).

I don't know if gcc compilations contain any secrets to be obtained by the perpetrator. But gcc packages also contain libraries like libstdc++.so which certainly would be necessary to be made safe.

EDIT: ok, I tried it. I already had Pat's gcc-7.3. Added -mindirect-branch=thunk to SLKCFLAGS and it was used even in the first stage, which seems strange because the native compiler doesn't even have to be GCC. So maybe it would have been a problem to use earlier gcc. And there were three stages, not two, so it built the new GCC even third time to be absolutely sure to get exactly the same results as after second time...

Monospace fonts hinting
 

somehow the majority of monospace fonts in -current look too thick:

this is how it used to look in 14.2:
https://i.imgur.com/CPI9EBV.png

I have webcore-fonts installed and have followed the instructions:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...webcore-fonts/

all other fonts look just fine. I am running Xfce with Full anti-aliasing enabled (as I always do).

Or maybe I am totally wrong. https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-01/msg00211.html says "User code should be built with CET, not retpolines.".

Eye of the Beholder!

I thought the newer rendering looked much better. :)

geez, man! :D:D:D

I am still trying to figure it out...

please don't forget, this is also a good,opportunity to switch to the C++11 standard ABI

Mplayer works a lot better and supports ffmpeg releases unlike mpv.

I think i have found the 'mtp' problem with dolphin and kernel-4.14:

(the libgphoto2 udev rules in the current SlackBuild are brobabbly for old udev version)

it seem it's libgphoto2 build problem, i have modified the SlackBuild like this:

It seem that solve, only, partially the problem.
