read the ext4 quota thread again and then tell me how you were not trolling, you assumed I did no homework or research and made a sarcastic reply, I have no time for muppets like you.

So, you just called Mr. Hameleers a troll?

IF YES, permit me to ask you something: how you dare to come into Slackware's official forum and to call out as troll a Slackware Team member?

easily, and Erics an outlyer member, not part of the key squad

and since you have no idea of what promnpted that comment , best you stop playing the childish games that your trying to

Hi,

I think this is the problem.
We, as human beings, always think that what we have to say is constructive and that it's the answer to everything.

This be better rephrased: ... constructive and technically related to the topic of the thread.

This is just an example of when not having an open bug tracker how it goes. Everybody reacts on each comment, and therefore you end up with insults and other kind of non productive comments.

In bug trackers the related bug is described in detail and usually the relevant people starts working on it as they are cc-ed.

I will just try it again

since nothing right now requires it but could be a nice add for who likes to develop with GTK.

gtk-4.0.0
https://download.gnome.org/sources/g...k-4.0.0.tar.xz

Its a plug and play, just a single package more on what we have now in -current.

drgibbon · 12-16-2020, 01:22 PM

inxi 3.2.00 (bunch of new features mentioned here).

This file patches the 14.2's rc.M and depends on kernel command line parameter "fastboot" to be activated.

On my particular system it saves mere 3-4 seconds nowdays (running said 14.2 Slackware64), but back in the day (13.37 to 14.0) it saved nice 14-15 seconds being booted on an SD card and run by an optimized kernel and quite weak x86 compatible CPU/host.

Then on the other hand, my current system does not have much going on with services, connects via wpa-supplicant during those ~36 seconds on an AP that's a floor above the laptop, there is ample room for improvement i guess. The rc.M kicks in after about 18 seconds of kernel boot...

file:rc.M.patch

Code:

apply with
patch -n -p1 rc.M <rc.M.patch

I could post further patches that enable tracking of the speedup in the rc.local and rc.local-shutdown if there is interest.

I have yet to tackle the flexible shutdown delay we mentioned above since it never bothered me too much.

Two things to add to current:

1. Please add suexec support for apache httpd in slackbuild file:

--enable-suexec
--with-suexec-bin=/usr/sbin/suexec
--with-suexec-caller=httpd
--with-suexec-docroot=/var/www/cgi-bin
--with-suexec-uidmin=1000
--with-suexec-gidmin=1000

2. Please add qemu package to the official repository. I think it is just about copying sackbuild from Alien: slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/qemu/
