Slackware-12.1 ChangeLog (2008-03-20)
Wed Mar 19 19:34:38 CDT 2008
Is this Slackware 12.1 RC 1 yet? It has to be close.
Packages
Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.40.8
- a/e2fsprogs-1.40.8-i486-1.tgz
a/gpm-1.20.1-i486-5.tgz: Default item to imps2, which works well with KVM
boxes. If you use a Synaptics pad with the third party driver, you may have
to change this setting.
Upgraded to inotify-tools-3.13
- a/inotify-tools-3.13-i486-1.tgz
a/kernel-generic-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: After much debate, the kernels have been
recompiled with the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option enabled. This was tried once
and caused problems for real SCSI systems, but that really was many years ago
and it's so handy to have this feature for multi-LUN card readers that we're
going to try enabling this again. Please report any problems.
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.24.3 uniprocessor generic.s (requires initrd) kernel.
a/kernel-generic-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz:
Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-huge-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz:
Recompiled with CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.
a/kernel-modules-2.6.24.3-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
a/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.24.3_smp-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled.
a/ntfs-3g-1.2310-i486-1.tgz: After getting a lot of feedback on it, we're
changing from ntfsprogs to ntfs-3g and putting it in the A series so that it
can be used as the default NTFS filesystem. All the best wishes to the
ntfsprogs project for future improvement, but nftsprogs couldn't extract and
compile the Linux kernel on an NTFS partition here, and ntfs-3g could.
It also seems to have a better community and support going right now.
Thanks to the users who wrote with their opinions to help make this decision.
a/pkgtools-12.1.0-noarch-5.tgz: Default making a USB boot stick to off.
Removed /etc/rc.d/rc.scanluns
- a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-18.tgz
a/udev-118-i486-2.tgz: Blacklist old bcm43xx driver (b43 and b43legacy are
the recommended drivers now).
ap/alsa-utils-1.0.15-i486-2.tgz: Set reasonable volume defaults if there are
none in /etc/asound.state. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
Upgraded to gutenprint-5.0.2
- ap/gutenprint-5.0.2-i486-1.tgz
Removed (for now)
- ap/ntfsprogs-2.0.0-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to m4-1.4.10. Thanks to Kyle Guinn for
- d/m4-1.4.10-i486-1.tgz
reporting that m4-1.4.9 had a serious calculation bug.
Upgraded to pkg-config-0.23
- d/pkg-config-0.23-i486-1.tgz
k/kernel-source-2.6.24.3_smp-noarch-2.tgz: CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is now the
default in the supplied Slackware generic .config.
Patched a problem with Kate mislocating the
- kde/kdelibs-3.5.9-i486-3.tgz
cursor after a block paste. Thanks to Peter Sevens for showing me the fix.
Upgraded to atk-1.22.0
- l/atk-1.22.0-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to dbus-1.1.20. Thanks to Robby Workman
- l/dbus-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz
for helping to maintain the dbus build scripts.
Rebuilt
- l/dbus-glib-0.74-i486-2.tgz

Upgraded to gnome-icon-theme-2.22.0
- l/gnome-icon-theme-2.22.0-noarch-1.tgz
l/glib2-2.14.6-i486-3.tgz: Set G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1, and if the locale is
UTF-8, then set G_FILENAME_ENCODING=“@locale” (which will override the
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES setting). This should get us a little closer with UTF.
Thanks to Dave Minton for pointing out the issue to Robby Workman, who
(in turn), sent it in to me.
