It looks like rebuilding Firefox with Rust 1.50.0 causes it to crash on
HTML5 streams, so let's drop back to this build. 78.8.0 is coming soon
and hopefully it'll fix this.

This update fixes a security issue:
When tkey-gssapi-keytab or tkey-gssapi-credential was configured, a
specially crafted GSS-TSIG query could cause a buffer overflow in the
ISC implementation of SPNEGO (a protocol enabling negotiation of the
security mechanism to use for GSSAPI authentication). This flaw could
be exploited to crash named. Theoretically, it also enabled remote code
execution, but achieving the latter is very difficult in real-world
conditions.

Here we go again… upgraded to glibc-2.33 and one last mass rebuild for
Slackware 15.0. The only packages upgraded in this batch are glibc and the
kernels - everything else is just a rebuild against the new glibc. Not
rebuilt in this batch: devs (best to just leave this alone), glibc-zoneinfo,
kernel-firmware, rust, linux-faqs, linux-howtos, aspell-en, mozilla-firefox,
mozilla-thunderbird, and seamonkey. There's a new Rust compiler but Firefox
and Thunderbird will need to be patched to use it, so we'll hold off on
those until they're ready for the new Rust either with patches or new
upstream releases. Until we have that and a few more scheduled upgrades I'm
not quite ready to call this beta yet, but you can call it 15.0-alpha1.
Cheers!

testing/packages/glibc-2.33-x86_64-1_testing.txz
This is here for some actual testing - don't go just jumping into this one
all willy-nilly, especially if you're on 32-bit. The internal implementation
of some glibc functions has changed in ways that can break sandboxes that
restrict the allowable functions. So far this is known to affect
qt5-webengine and openssl, and in the case of openssl upgrading to this
version of glibc will lock out ssh access to the machine. I've seen one
mention of the openssh issue online as a comment posted to LWN's article
about the release of glibc-2.33. It says that a patch was submitted upstream,
but I haven't been able to locate a copy yet.
On the qt5 issue, alienBOB has given me a link to this patch:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt5-qtwebengine/blob/09e1adb883639325aa8115dc1fc3e8f5088a2438/f/qtwebengine-everywhere-src-5.15.2-%231904652.patch
If anyone has a fix for openssl on 32-bit, kindly post it to LQ.

Renamed to aaa_glibc-solibs.

Added

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.

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!
