Thanks to Robby Workman. * [[slackware.14.2>l/polkit-gnome-0.105-i586-1.txz]] \\ Thanks to Robby Workman. * [[slackware.14.2>n/irssi-0.8.19-i586-1.txz]] * [[slackware.14.2>n/nmap-7.11-i586-1.txz]] * [[slackware.14.2>xap/mozilla-thunderbird-38.7.1-i586-1.txz]] \\ This update contains security fixes and improvements. \\ For more information, see: \\ http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird.html \\ (* Security fix *) ==== Rebuilt ==== * [[slackware.14.2>kde/ktouch-4.14.3-i586-3.txz]] \\ Patched to fix performance issues. Thanks to Andrzej Telszewski. * [[slackware.14.2>n/NetworkManager-1.0.10-i586-5.txz]] \\ Patched rc.networkmanager to only attempt to kill wpa_supplicant on shutdown \\ using the first .pid found in /var/run or /run. Otherwise if those \\ directories are symlinked or bind mounted together there will be a race \\ condition that may result in an error message. \\ I'm still not certain that rc.networkmanager should be messing with \\ wpa_supplicant. What about cases where NetworkManager might be configured to \\ *not* manage the wireless interfaces at all? \\ Luckily, there is rarely any reason for stopping NetworkManager (outside of \\ shutdown or reboot), or for restarting it. {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-14.2 2016/03}} news/2016/03/25/slackware-14.2-changelog.txt Last modified: 8 years agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
