Slackware-current ChangeLog (2023-03-08)

Wed Mar 8 20:26:54 UTC 2023

Hey folks, just some more updates on the road to an eventual beta. :-)
At this point nothing remains linked with openssl-1.1.1 except for python2 and
modules, and vsftpd. I think nobody cares about trying to force python2 to use
openssl3… it's EOL but still a zombie, unfortunately. I have seen some
patches for vsftpd and intend to take a look at them. We've bumped PHP to 8.2
and just gone ahead and killed 8.0 and 8.1. Like 7.4, 8.0 is not compatible
with openssl3 and it doesn't seem worthwhile to try to patch it. And with 8.2
already out for several revisions, 8.1 does not seem particularly valuable.
If you make use of PHP you should be used to it being a moving target by now.
Enjoy, and let me know if anything isn't working right. Cheers!
