Really don't care for what they have done to the GUI for both Thunderbird and Firefox. If it wasn't for the security "fixes" I would go back to Thunderbird-102.x.y.

Security Fixes

Andrew_R · 10-26-2023, 01:18 AM

I take liberty to request SPIRV-LLVM-Translator:

url = https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator

branch corresponding to llvm-17 (llvm_release_170 -> origin/llvm_release_170)
Build with

Quote:

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ../

then SPIRV-Tools-2023.1

and then new libclc. I put libclc-16.0.5.src.tar.xz in Slackbuild folder from Alt Linux src rpm because fetching was not working for me. Guess you need 17.0.3 for now .. (from llvm tree).

Next mesa can be compiled with

Code:

meson ../ --prefix=/usr --libdir=lib{64} --strip --buildtype debugoptimized -Degl=enabled -Dosmesa=true -Dplatforms=x11 -Dgallium-drivers=i915,r600,radeonsi,swrast,virgl,nouveau,r300,iris,crocus -Dvulkan-drivers=amd,intel,swrast  -Dgallium-nine=true -Dgallium-opencl=icd -Dgallium-va=enabled -Dgallium-omx=bellagio  -Dgallium-xa=disabled -Dopencl-spirv=true -Dgallium-rusticl=true -Dllvm=enabled -Drust_std=2021  -Dvideo-codecs="vc1dec, h264dec, h264enc, h265dec, h265enc"

so both clover and rutsticl state trackers will be build ...

It works for me on 32-bit Slackware userspace on top of 64-bit kernel (llvmpipe and nouveau/nv106 hardware

Also, it will be nice to rebuild boost with numpy, because LuxCoreRender build from source need it

xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.1 released today. Unfortunately I still can't build it with bubblewrap disabled and the bubblewrap package absent from the system. Upstream added a meson option to disable bubblewrap, but the build craps out on linker errors unless the bubblewrap package is installed, regardless of the option. They added this hefty warning when disabling bubblewrap as well:

Code:

../meson.build:120: WARNING: 
    Sandboxed image validation with Bubblewrap is DISABLED.
    If your system can run Bubblewrap, it's **hightly** recommended that you enable this
    option. Bitmap validation and processing is a common attack vector.
    By proceeding with sandboxed image validation disabled, you acknowledge that you
    are lowering your system's security, and are subject to known or unknown exploits.

So at this point it seems it still needs bubblewrap, though flatpak can be disabled. I'll attach the modified slackbuild that I updated from autotools to meson in case its of any use and leave this one alone for now.

EXT2_FS m -> y

May I suggest CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2 = y instead of these two:

Quote:

Help text

Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2 file system mounts. This allows users to reduce their compiled kernel size by using one file system driver for ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

AIUI, the only reason you'd want these older modules is if you wanted to build a kernel without ext4 support.

drumz · 10-27-2023, 10:57 AM

Pat, the "Latest changelog for slackware-current" thread is a disaster* right now. You need to release an update to get it back on track.

* The latest update has been posted twice! Once with no formatting! Multiple side discussions going on.

glennmcc · 10-27-2023, 11:43 AM

Hmmmm... slackpkg seems to need a small fix before 15.1 is released.

(and said fix needs to be placed into 15.0 so that 15.0 can be upgraded to either current or 15.1 when it is released)

See this thread.
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...2/#post6461217

Please disregard.

Everything is working correctly so-long-as 'DOWNLOAD_ALL=on' is in slackpkg.conf
and this is the order in-which the full upgrade from 15.0 to current is done.

slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg upgrade-all (again after slackpkg itself is upgraded)
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg clean-system

Can someone smarter than me explain for what the huge kernel is good at this moment?
