Slackware-10.0 ChangeLog (2004-05-18)

Tue May 18 14:01:11 PDT 2004

a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-40.tgz: In rc.S, fix syntax for mounting /proc (it
really did work most of the time before ;-). I considered checking it
again later when the /etc/mtab entries are created, but we'll see if this
does the trick first. Also, fix a typo where sysctl is checked for in
/bin rather than /sbin (thanks to Tomasz Torcz for pointing that out).
a/udev-025-i486-2.tgz: After refining and re-rerefining a rules file for
Slackware, I completely forgot to install it! Sorry about it – it's there
now. Oh, and I know that udev overwrites existing config files. If you
think there are user serviceable parts in there, save backup copies.
Fixed /dev/tty* perms. Thanks to Markus Stauffer and the folks on
alt.os.linux.slackware for the heads-up.
gnome/gnome-games-2.6.1-i486-3.tgz: Fix /usr/bin directory ownership.
l/pcre-4.5-i486-2.tgz: –enable-utf8 (thanks to Tomas Szepe).
  • l/libglade-2.4.0-i486-1.tgz

kde/kdelibs-3.2.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched URI security issues.
According to www.kde.org:
The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not
check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which
makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started
by the handlers.

(* Security fix *)
