Slackwarearm-14.1 ChangeLog (2013-07-31)
Wed Jul 31 19:56:31 UTC 2013
Thanks to Robby Workman for updates on libnl*, dhcpcd, and wpa_supplicant.
/INSTALL_TEGRA.TXT: Updated.
In the Kernel and initial RAM disk file names, switch '-tegra' with '-armv7'
to support the new generic ARMv7 kernel.
Packages
Rebuilt
- a/gawk-4.1.0-arm-2.tgz
Fixed –libdir. Thanks to Speek. - n/NetworkManager-0.9.8.2-arm-2.tgz
Switched back to dhcpcd instead of dhclient as the default DHCP client in
the NetworkManager.conf file. Either one will work, but it's probably
better to use dhcpcd by default to avoid a nasty surprise for people who
didn't install the dhcp package since they aren't running a DHCP server.
Removed
a/kernel_tegra-3.9.10-arm-1.tgz
These packages have been replaced by a generic Kernel that supports a range of
systems that have an ARMv7 or greater CPU. If you're a Tegra20 (principally a
Compulab TrimSlice) user, you'll need to upgrade the packages like this:
# upgradepkg kernel_tegra%kernel_armv7-3.10.4-arm-1.tgz
# upgradepkg kernel-modules_tegra%kernel-modules-armv7-3.10.4_armv7-arm-1.tgz
Also see section 5.0 ('Booting the Slackware ARM OS') of /INSTALL_TEGRA.TXT to
adjust your U-Boot parameters to support the new 'armv7' name.
Look for the U-Boot configuration line below the text:
'Configure the U-Boot loader to load the Kernel and Initial RAM disk:'
Essentially we've just switched the Kernel and initial RAM disk files from
'-tegra' to '-armv7'.
You will need to reboot your device into the U-Boot prompt in order to change
the U-Boot configuration.isolinux/uinitrd-tegra.img
Replaced with uinitrd-armv7.img.kernels/tegra
Replaced with armv7.
Added
- a/kernel_armv7-3.10.4-arm-1.tgz
This is a generic ARMv7 kernel to support the multitude of devices out there
which have an ARMv7 or higher CPU. This is the first version of this generic
kernel, so I expect to add new device support over time.
Upgraded
- n/nmap-6.40-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to ponce for the SlackBuild patch.
