You could be right :-)
I checked changelog of LVM2 and found:

Allow activation of pools when thin/cache_check tool is missing.

So, for activation I think it shouldn't be necessary.
Thank you for testing.

Pat,

If something important gets overlooked here, just keep after me.

Perhaps not "important" but perhaps low level annoying -- dangling symlinks:

cldr-emoji-annotation
bind9
util-linux
gftp
articulate

Thanks for the consideration!

Sorry for bumping this up again. Hope it's still worth mentioning.

Thanks!

Adding swaywm as a gateway to a simple wayland DE would be nice

IMHO slackpkg should list all *.new, just not touch the important or one can forget like I almost did a while ago about /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.new.

LFS is using: https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc
Seems 4.0.0 is out. I was trying a custom sfs build and bc-1.0.7 failed and I checked latest LFS and saw it is using a different source.

Bumping the UEFI filename issue again:

Code:

$ find source/installer -iname '*.efi' -exec file {} +
source/installer/sources/efi.i586/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI:   PE32 executable (EFI application) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows
source/installer/sources/efi.x86_64/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI: PE32+ executable (EFI application) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows

The file in efi.i586 should be named BOOTIA32.EFI according to the UEFI spec section 3.5.1.1, otherwise these machines aren't going to find it.

Currently nodejs is only included in Slackware-current as a build dep of mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird. I suggest to upgrade it to the current LTS version (14.6.1 at time of writing) and ship it as a standalone package. It is needed for instance by antora, used to provide all Fedora documentation like for instance the installation guide for Fedora 33 and that I will use to provide the Slint Handbook and would come handy to keep updated (and versioned and maybe localized ) the SlackBook with a much more attractive UI. More generally Java script usage is increasing including outside of web browsers so this could benefit a lot of projects during Slackware 15 life time.
