Yesterday was Talk-Like-a-Pirate day. Really.

Check out my post a little while back there, I have a link to the Talk-like-a-Pirate-Day website. Amazing...

I don't think Pat'll compile this one for 11 unless there's just so much time until 11 comes out. He already recompiled glibc against the ones he has now and mentioned that they were golden.

Be interesting to see a new test26, though but I doubt it.

I think its impossible that Pat would upgrade the huge26.s kernel right now. It's just before release (for some months now), and I think that he wouldn't go so quick for it anyway, as it's not just patches and so, it looks like quite a change from 2.6.17. I think he'll wait to see how the new kernel performs in practise. And wait till they polish it

Oh! Hahahah! I thought it was just a joke!

This is still Slackware 11.0 release candidate 5 (for now), and is still the
last release candidate, scout's honor. We are nearly there. :-)

There are many improvments in 2.6.18!

Not as the huge26.s, but 2.6.18 is there, as test26.s:

Quote:

kernels/huge26.s/*: Added built-in NLS (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437,
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1, and CONFIG_NLS_UTF8) to allow FAT filesystems to
loopback mount for NFS installs.
kernels/test26.s/*: Added 2.6.18 test26.s kernel.

What is the difference between huge26.s and test26.s ??

Looks like we're gettting closer...

It's nice to see the latest stable 2.6.18 kernel in there as an option too!

For one thing, huge26.s is 2.6.17.13.

Agreed.

Also agreed.

We also seem to be close to a new release. It seems as if Pat finds RC5 almost satisfactory... despite all that's gone on recently.

Ilgar · 09-21-2006, 04:45 PM

If he waits a bit longer we may even get XFCE 4.4 w/ 11.0. Would be nice, but everyone's getting so impatient really

I was trying to create a simple kde project with kdevelop in current and I got this strange error:
"Could not create language plugin for C++"
After some googling I found out that it is sth about libkdevcppsupport.so
So I just did:

Code:

ldd /opt/kde/lib/kde3/libkdevcppsupport.so
And I got this:
libdb-4.4.so => not found
twice (!?)

Now this is the output for

Code:

ls -la /lib/libdb*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508752 2004-05-12 04:09 /lib/libdb-3.1.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 604216 2004-05-12 04:31 /lib/libdb-3.3.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 867492 2004-05-30 09:03 /lib/libdb-4.2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2005-10-06 22:40 /lib/libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2.1.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     11 2005-10-06 22:40 /lib/libdb.so.3 -> libdb2.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  55516 2005-01-24 19:02 /lib/libdb1.so.2.1.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 264288 2005-01-24 19:02 /lib/libdb2.so.3

So what is this libdb-4.4 vs libdb-4.2 issue?

You must be out of date.

These:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508752 2004-05-12 04:09 /lib/libdb-3.1.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 604216 2004-05-12 04:31 /lib/libdb-3.3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2005-10-06 22:40 /lib/libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2.1.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     11 2005-10-06 22:40 /lib/libdb.so.3 -> libdb2.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  55516 2005-01-24 19:02 /lib/libdb1.so.2.1.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 264288 2005-01-24 19:02 /lib/libdb2.so.3

have all been moved to /pasture. libdb-4.2 and libdb-4.4 are now both installed by default.

You need to install both db42 ( db42-4.2.52-i486-3.tgz ) and db44 ( db44-4.4.20-i486-1.tgz ) packages from the 'l' directory.
