-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 9 17:24:25 CST 2006
a/aaa_elflibs-10.2.0-i486-4.tgz: Added /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 ->
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 symlink, needed by Oracle 10g RAC support.
Thanks to Luigi Genoni.
Upgraded various other libraries.
a/bash-3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bash-3.1.
a/coreutils-5.93-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to coreutils-5.93.
The DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 is set to provide more
traditional behavior (thanks to Eric Hameleers), but this may change
in the future as the newer standards are accepted. Added
the uname patch (suggested by many), and moved color ls setup
out of /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login and into scripts in
/etc/profile.d/. These scripts also replace some functionality
(setting up aliases and defaults) that is no longer part of the
dircolors tool.
a/cups-1.1.23-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against new OpenSSL.
a/cxxlibs-6.0.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libstdc++ from gcc-3.4.5.
a/etc-5.1-noarch-11.tgz: Removed color ls setup from /etc/profile
and /etc/csh.login. Fixed csh.login in cases where $TERM or $MANPATH
are not set. (thanks to Jim Diamond)
a/gettext-0.14.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-0.14.5.
a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5
against the 2.4.32 and 2.6.15.3 kernel headers.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-2.tgz: Recompiled.
a/gpm-1.20.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gpm-1.20.1, with many, many patches.
a/openssl-solibs-0.9.8a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.8a.
This may require many things to be recompiled. Let me know if I
skipped anything that matters. :-)
a/pkgtools-10.2.0-i486-6.tgz: Upgraded subset of terminfo database from
ncurses-5.5. Upgraded to dialog-1.0-20060126.
a/procps-3.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to procps-3.2.6.
a/tcsh-6.14.00-i486-2.tgz: Patched to remove built-in color ls, as the new
coreutils adds an 'su' feature to the shared $LS_COLORS variable that
causes tcsh to exit. Perhaps tcsh should use a different variable name or
be less strict about using LS_COLORS? The GNU ls version is probably
better for most purposes anyway, though.
ap/espgs-8.15.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to espgs-8.15.1.
ap/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21-i486-1.tgz: Added linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21.
This package replaces the sgml-tools package and should contain the
essentials needed to handle modern Linux Docbook/SGML documents. Huge
thanks are due to Stuart Winter for doing most of the work on transitioning
Slackware from the old sgml-tools system to this one! :-)
ap/man-1.6c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-1.6c.
ap/man-pages-2.22-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-2.22.
ap/mdadm-2.3.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mdadm-2.3.1.
ap/mysql-5.0.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.18.
(this will require everything linked to MySQL libs to be recompiled)
ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-12.tgz: Removed. (replaced with linuxdoc-tools)
ap/sudo-1.6.8p12-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p12.
This fixes an issue where a user able to run a Python script through sudo
may be able to gain root access.
IMHO, running any kind of scripting language from sudo is still not safe...

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0151
(* Security fix *)
ap/vorbis-tools-1.1.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
d/automake-1.9.6-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.9.6.
d/bison-2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bison-2.1.
I think enough of the upstream sources are expecting bison-2.x now, but let
me know if you find breakage (for which patches or pointers to upgrades
would be welcome.)
d/clisp-2.38-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to clisp-2.38.
d/doxygen-1.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.4.6.
d/gdb-6.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gdb-6.4.
d/gettext-tools-0.14.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-0.14.5 tools.
d/m4-1.4.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.4.
d/make-3.80-i486-2.tgz: Fixed an out-of-memory bug in make, since
nobody upstream seems concerned about putting out a fixed make
release any time soon. Is "make" dead? ;-)
Reported here by: Mihnea-Costin Grigore, penguinista, and ePAc.
d/nasm-0.98.39-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nasm-0.98.39.
d/perl-5.8.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to perl-5.8.8 and DBI-1.50.
d/pkgconfig-0.20-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pkgconfig-0.20.
d/python-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.2.
The bsddb module didn't build against the new 4.4.x version of
Berkeley DB. Does anyone care? Or perhaps have a patch? :-)
d/python-demo-2.4.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.2 demos.
d/python-tools-2.4.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.2 tools.

l/cairo-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Added cairo graphics library for GTK+2.
l/db4-4.4.20-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.4.20. This will
require rebuilding any databases that use the older spec as things
are recompiled to use this, and I'm planning to do that whereever
possible. Just be glad I don't do this with every new BDB release
like I used to. :-)
l/glib2-2.8.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to glib-2.8.6.
l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with gcc-3.4.5

n/fetchmail-6.3.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.3.2.
Presumably this replaces all the known security problems with
a batch of new unknown ones. (fetchmail is improving, really ;-)

n/openldap-client-2.3.17-i486-1.tgz: Added client libraries and
binaries for LDAP authentication. (Thanks to Eric Hameleers for
help with the ./configure options).
n/openssh-4.3p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-4.3p1.

n/proftpd-1.3.0rc3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0rc3. Generally I
don't like to use release candidates (especially with network services),
but this one was needed in order to work with the new OpenSSL.
n/rp-pppoe-3.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rp-pppoe-3.7.
n/samba-3.0.21b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.21b linked with OpenLDAP.
n/sendmail-8.13.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.5.
This has been relinked with db-4.4.20, so any databases in /etc/mail will

Platform Standard Edition Development Kit Version 5.0, Release 6.

Upgraded to Linux 2.6.15.3 kernel source.
testing/packages/seamonkey-1.0-i486-1.tgz: Added seamonkey-1.0, which
will probably be replacing mozilla-1.7.12 in slackware/xap/ soon unless
doing so ends up breaking too many things. Hopefully it won't -- please
help test it.
# Old bison packages from slackware/d and /extra moved to /pasture.
# A few sources may still require these unless/until they are updated.
pasture/bison-1.35-i386-1.tgz: Moved to /pasture.
pasture/bison-1.875d-i486-1.tgz: Moved to /pasture.
# We'll see if we can get away with a mass removal of old Berkeley DB
# cruft. Yes, I know this will be painful, but it's not my fault that
# BDB does not stay compatible with itself. This mess had to be cleaned
# up sometime, and in preparation for a .0 release seems as good as any.
pasture/db3-3.3.11-i486-4.tgz: Moved to /pasture.
pasture/db31-3.1.17-i486-1.tgz: Moved to /pasture.
