Slackware64-15.0 ChangeLog (2021-02-08)

Mon Feb 8 05:13:26 UTC 2021

  • a/aaa_elflibs-15.0-x86_64-30.txz
    Renamed to aaa_libraries.
  • a/glibc-solibs-2.32-x86_64-1.txz
    Renamed to aaa_glibc-solibs.
  • a/aaa_glibc-solibs-2.32-x86_64-2.txz
    This package has been renamed from glibc-solibs, which helps avoid trouble
    if someone upgrades using “upgradepkg –install-new */*.txz” by upgrading
    this package before aaa_libraries. Otherwise, if aaa_libraries is upgraded
    first any libraries in it that are linked against a newer version of glibc
    than the one installed on the system would refuse to load.
  • a/aaa_libraries-15.0-x86_64-1.txz
    This package has been renamed from aaa_elflibs to insure that it will come
    after aaa_glibc-solibs when upgraded in alphabetical order.
    Upgraded: libcap.so.2.48, libelf-0.183.so, libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.6,
    libgmodule-2.0.so.0.6600.6, libgobject-2.0.so.0.6600.6,
    libgthread-2.0.so.0.6600.6.
    Added: libtirpc.so.3.0.0.
  • a/btrfs-progs-5.10.1-x86_64-1.txz
  • a/kernel-generic-5.10.14-x86_64-1.txz
  • a/kernel-huge-5.10.14-x86_64-1.txz
  • a/kernel-modules-5.10.14-x86_64-1.txz
  • ap/slackpkg-15.0-noarch-1.txz
    These are some of the important changes (see the ChangeLog for more):
    Note that this slackpkg release contains a backwards-incompatible change to
    the blacklisting syntax (e.g. glibc —> glibc-*). This changes the prior
    behavior of the blacklist function; previously, adding “glibc” to the
    blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al to be
    ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the glibc package is
    ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages whose names begin with glibc,
    you would need to add “glibc.*” to the blacklist now. Also note that any
    special characters, e.g. “+”, will need to be escaped in the blacklist file.
    To blacklist entire package sets, a trailing slash is now required: e.g. kde/
    Another backwards-incompatibility warning: check-updates will now return 1 if
    there are updates available - this will make it easier to use this feature
    with cron (thanks to Peter Hyman).
    Added support for Slackware-AArch64 (thanks to Stuart Winter).
    Added aaa_glibc-solibs and aaa_libraries to the “do these first” routine.
    Thanks to Robby Workman for the new slackpkg release!
