Dovecot 2.3.0 is out since before Xmas.
https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot...er/000366.html https://www.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/ ISC Bind 9.12.0 is out since last week. https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind...ry/001078.html https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ While we're on Bind, any chance we can have a few compile flags by default? --with-ecdsa --enable-filter-aaaa None would be active unless configured at named.conf, so no harm is expected. Saving one new post: http2 support at Apache HTTP server, perhaps? |

No tested here, on pure current, but, just for info, it seem, that hplip compiled (--disable-qt4 --enable-qt5) work correctly here, with this new dbus-python version and with the Eric pyqt5 binding packages. |

I have omit to said to you, in my first reply, that the dbus-python.SlackBluid need to add this: for python3 libs: ./configure PYTHON_VERSION=3 \ , without this, the package, contain only python-2.7 libs. |
Why not add

The new iproute2-based rc.inet1 does not set the broadcast address:
Code:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500Code:
# tcpdump -i lo -ntp udp port 631Code:
echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/ip address add ${IPADDR[$i]}/${NETMASK[$i]} broadcast + dev ${1}" | $LOGGERCode:
ip address flush dev ${1} |

Could we perhaps have http2 support in httpd (mod_http2)?

kernel 4.15's cfg80211 looks for /lib/firmware/regulatory.db. The Central Regulatory Database Agent's source to build regulatory.db uses python2 and typing.py. Slackware's Python 2 has no typing.py; its Python 3 does.

since current includes python3 how about adding
Code:
configure --enable-python3interp |

regulatory.db in some package? whatever cfg80211 appears in.
|
|
regarding this previous post of mine:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5811584 i fixed the 'issue' by uncommenting the classic hinting mode in /etc/profile.d/freetype.sh, then told applications to use the DejaVu "relatives" of fonts such as Monospace. That's it... |

The last official release of wireless-regdb still dates back to 2015, so the only place you'll find the new files is in the wireless-regdb git repo As far as I can figure out from what little there is to read, you need to copy into /lib/firmware the pre-compiled regulatory.db and its signature file regulatory.db.p7s and then discontinue use of crda (which this new mechanism obsoletes). sforshee's public key seems to be embedded in the kernel already. Now, depending on when your cfg80211 subsystem gets loaded (i.e. module, or builtin to a kernel) you may need to put these files in your initrd to avoid the message about being unable to load the file at boot. Until such time as current moves to 4.15 or later, Pat will need to keep supplying the old crda mechanism. It might be worth including these new files into the crda package for now, and then perhaps give them their own wireless-regdb package if/when crda is ever removed, but that's Pat's choice to make. That's pretty much what I've figured out so far. Please note, most of this is from reading between the lines and could be wrong. Documentation on this new mechanism is seriously lacking at present.. edit: Well, I see Pat's already updated crda in current, so this post was a waste of time. My mirror must have been behind when I checked the changelog this morning. :( |
Howdy Slackers:
What's Slackware's best practice for managing rfkill? I've added "/usr/sbin/rfkill unblock all" to the beginning of rc.inet1, because I viewed it as something needed before network starts... (I'm still on patched 14.2, and not current, or I would have used /usr/bin/rfill, as I read rfkill has been merged into utils-linux package, and it's path has changed). Of course, this works fine in rc.local too, instead of rc.inet1. I was just wondering how Pat would do it, and if handling these minor pesky rfkill switches would be something that could be included in slackware's inet configuration scripts in -current, or in the next version? It doesn't seem to hurt anything, if there are no switches to unblock; and if there are, then they would just be unblocked by the inet scripts, and the end user, putting slackware on their desktop pc for the first time, wouldn't have to experience a trivial wifi issue with a trivial fix. |

Intel VAAPI driver alternative for the G45 chipset ?
https://bitbucket.org/alium/g45-h264...2.0.0-2.tar.gz What is worth this alternate driver? In comparation with the standard Intel VAAPI driver, it gives the hardware decoding support for H264 on Intel GMA X4500HD, which is used by the G41, G43 and G45 chipsets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X4500 Those chipsets, which was Intel's flagship at their time, was used in tons of Intel motherboards with socket 775 and Core 2 Duo laptops, and also happened to be the weapon of choice of the hardware companies like Fujitsu-Siemens, Lenovo, Acer, Dell when they started to build mini-PCs for office usage. Which professional but low consumption mini-PCs now "invaded" the Second World, and usually available at a reasonable price, as second hand. Hence, many there use them as HTPC or second PCs for family and kids. Even myself I have now two Fujitsu Siemens Q5030, one used as router, the second one for family's web browsing and as HTPC. Those mini-PC are powerful enough to work reasonably with KDE4 (and Plasma 5) and gives you an experience similar with an laptop, but being in a small desktop form. Now the catch: using this alternate VAAPI driver, the CPU load is reduced considerably on H264 decoding while playing videos, and a mini-PC like I have can drive an 1080p movie to a TV with no problems, and a CPU load under 20%. Impresive for that little thing. My proposal: to add this intel-driver-g45-h264 into /extra as a intel-vaapi-driver alternative. In fact, they are/should be the same as name. PS. For those busy to think that I (can) have personal interests, as I know that you guys hate someone to have even a small profit, I would like to note that I am very well capable to solve myself (for myself) this package. And I use it already. :p PS2. Yes, I am aware that that will be a supplementary "burden" for Patrick Volkerding, no one needs to remember me that. ;) |

AND, after all, the standard intel-vaapi-driver has already a fine support for H264, if we talk about the later Intel HD chipsets. Even for hardware accelerated H264 encoding. https://01.org/linuxgraphics/community/vaapi Also, to note that Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Gentoo and other distributions ships that alternative VAAPI driver since ages. Most likely, it is in fact an late bird to VAAPI, generated by the fact that there is a really massive number of corporate/office computers which sports this G45 chipset and variants, able to do that H264 decoding in hardware, while Intel interests was to push the usage Intel HD graphics. Or somehow, internally that H264 decoding on G45 differ by the later Intel HD, maybe generating some fine internal conflicts while using both in the same library. Long story short, I believe that there are no patents issues, but some fine tuning was needed to add that support for G45. Was that support added by Intel? Was it added by Dell or Fujitsu-Siemens programmers? I do not know. |

Can we have the noalias option added in the /etc/dhcpcd.conf ? In case the interface has already an IP Address assigned, dhcpcd will add a secondary temporary IP Address on the interface and won't flush the existing one without this option.
