Hello,

Is there any specific reason why Slackware still has openssl 1.0.2o?
Maybe because 1.0.2o is, as stated on openssl website, the LTS release :

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.

That makes sense.

Is it possible to install both versions side by side if slackware is keeping with 1.0.2o?

Make the detection of the ESP more robust in the installer.

This patch of /usr/lib/setup/SeTEFI allows that.

Tested against the file SeTEFI included in:
http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackw..._initrd.tar.gz
and:
http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackw...nux/initrd.img
that are identical at time of writing.

PS The (unmodified by the patch) test could be replaced by:
Code:
if [ ! -s $TMP/SeTefipartitions ]; then # No EFI partitions
  rm -f $TMP/SeTefipartitions
  exit
fi
But the BDFL like the cats

PPS Oh, and testing made me discover the really great script build_installer.sh. Congrats!

As an aside, I will post other patches if I find other scripts in the installer that could make use of lsblk, which really provides a lot of information.

Please have a look at this KDE bug report which does not affect Slackware itself but may affect 3rd party KDE Plasma5 packages if a kernel >= 4.14 is installed: "MTP doesn't work in KDE with Linux 4.14"

I got into that issue while i was trying to connect my mobile phone using -current and Plasma5. According to the bug report that seem to be an issue with eudev and a patch was provided. Unsure if that patch will find its way upstream but it would be nice if Slackware will take care about it. At least the patch applies to eudev-3.2.5/-current. I will do some more testing but maybe others can confirm that.

Yes but for Slint only, as the modification to handle eMMC devices is not applied in Slackware-current at time of writing (and will not be needed if the patch is applied as the new detection routine can handle all kinds of devices). The next Slint ISO (14.2.1.2) will have the relevant patch applied.
