The upgrade to xkeyboard-config-2.35.1-noarch-1.txz puts down all X11 sessions and even Wayland/Plasma5 goes nuts!

The fix is right now to revert to xkeyboard-config-2.34-noarch-1.txz of Slackware 15.0 .

Bitten by this right now. Reverted to 2.34 in order to have an usable Wayland.

x/xkeyboard-config-2.35.1-noarch-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Perhaps upstream didn't mean to move these files (or perhaps we should have
  recompiled everything that looks for these), but they did switch to meson,
  and the 'xkb-base' option to set the data directory doesn't work. Anyway,
  I've placed a symlink at /etc/X11/xkb and that fixes the problem.
  Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina and LuckyCyborg.

as you can see, there are a few places where the option must / can be defined :

Using the symlink as a stop-gap is fine, but hopefully he'll rebuild the affected components to look in the right place soon.

I don't like seeing a kludge like this left in for very long: they tend to get forgotten about and left in even after they're no longer needed.

Yes, that probably doesn't matter. I can just be a bit of a OCD neat-freak on things like this.

Since this will probably be more and more off-topic
Perhaps we could use this thread for other investigations or remarks.

libxslt 1.1.34 : Fix use-after-free in xsltApplyTemplates

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxs...752d1fdcadcac8

Code:

xsltApplyTemplates without a select expression could delete nodes in
the source document.

This fixes CVE-2021-30560

Package 'xkbcomp' need rebuild without this option '--with-xkb-config-root=/etc/X11/xkb', because the default path option is good.

(--with-xkb-config-root=<paths>
Set default XKB config root (default:
${datadir}/X11/xkb)

same for the package 'setxkbmap'

I've checked packages that can be impacted by this option

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...8/#post6328102

there may be others

CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_ZSTD=y

This option compress kernel modules under zstd , with this enabled we can save 50up of modules folder size

250MB to 100MB

I suggest zstd cause is a very light compression but have a good rate of size reduction.

I'll re-iterate my suggestion to compile xap/network-manager-applet with
