Slackwarearm-14.0 ChangeLog (2012-08-27)
Mon Aug 27 09:02:16 UTC 2012
This is Slackware ARM 14.0 release candidate 3.
* Important: ARMedslack has now been renamed (almost entirely) to “Slackware ARM”
Please adjust your mirror scripts to download from
FTP: ftp.armedslack.org/slackwarearm/
rsync: ftp.armedslack.org::slackwarearm
The “armedslack” rsync module will remain active on the primary server for a
while to allow the mirrors to continue syncing, but will be removed shortly
following the release of Slackware 14.0 *
The mini root filesystem for -current has been updated.
ftp://ftp.armedslack.org/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-devtools/minirootfs/
/INSTALL_TEGRA.TXT: Amended.
Fixed a typo. Thanks to DEF.
Packages
Rebuilt
- a/aaa_base-14.0-arm-3.tgz
Added /etc/os-release. - a/glibc-zoneinfo-2012e_2012e-noarch-5.tgz
Upgraded to tzcode2012e and tzdata2012e. - a/mkinitrd-1.4.7-arm-2.tgz
Added a -B option to scan for Btrfs multi-device filesystems.
Thanks to Aaron W. Hsu.
Fixed grep to build load_kernel_modules script correctly.
Thanks to burdi01 on LQ. - a/shadow-4.1.4.3-arm-5.tgz
Patched adduser to add “lp” (needed for scanning).
Thanks to Niki Kovacs. - a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-4.tgz
If the package is installed on ARM Versatile systems, configure /etc/inittab
to start a login process on /dev/ttyAMA0 rather than /dev/ttyS0.
This stops INIT from erroring with “s0 respawning too fast”, and allows
QEMU/ARM Versatile users to have a functioning serial console login.
I'm aware that the RaspberryPi also uses /dev/ttyAMA0 but I don't see
anything in /proc/cpuinfo that can 100% accurately identify the machine
as such. - a/udev-182-arm-2.tgz
Commented out the entries in /lib/modprobe.d/isapnp.conf to fix
the error attempting to load rtc_cmos. Thanks to GazL. - ap/slackpkg-2.82.0-arm-3.tgz
Removed list of mirrors leaving only the master FTP site in place for both
the newly renamed 'slackwarearm-current' and 'slackwarearm-14.0'.
Before Slackware ARM 14.0 is released I'll check whether the mirror servers
have been updated to host the new name of 'slackwarearm'. - l/QScintilla-2.6.1-arm-3.tgz
Linked shared libraries into /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}, fixing some apps
compiled with cmake. Thanks to Dhaby Xiloj. - l/db48-4.8.30-arm-2.tgz
Removed broken (and unneeded) /usr/include/db4 symlink.
Thanks to Francisco Ambrozio. - l/glibc-2.15-arm-5.tgz
Built against Linux Kernel version 3.4.9 headers. - x/xorg-server-1.12.3-arm-2.tgz
Changed Build Operating System to “Slackware 14.0 Slackware Linux Project”.
Thanks to lotar on LQ. - xap/audacious-3.3.1-arm-2.tgz
Include the duplicated AUTHORS and COPYING files, as the “About Audacious”
menu choice requires them. Thanks to tomac.pl on LQ.
Upgraded
- ap/cdrtools-3.01a08-arm-1.tgz
Fixes a bug where ISO images do not conform to the ECMA119 standard.
Thanks to Ady. - ap/powertop-2.1-arm-1.tgz

This fixes memory leaks, denial of service vulnerabilities, and
disallows packets with zero length client ids (not valid according to
RFC 2132 section 9.14).
