New Entry:  Thu Jan 27 15:30:49 PST 2005
New Entry:  a/openssl-solibs-0.9.7e-i486-3.tgz:  "ldconfig ." no longer works as the
New Entry:    man page says that it should, and so the library links were not being
New Entry:    created in the package by openssl.SlackBuild.  This has been changed to
New Entry:    "ldconfig -l *" which fixes the issue.  (Thanks to Mark Post).
New Entry:  a/pkgtools-10.1.0-i486-3.tgz:  Reverted /sbin/pkgtool to the version used in
New Entry:    Slackware 10.0.  While this version is slower to build the list of packages
New Entry:    when viewing or removing packages, it is far more forgiving of a slightly
New Entry:    corrupted or out of spec package database.  There are many tools (like
New Entry:    checkinstall) that do not build packages the same way that Slackware's
New Entry:    makepkg does, and when these packages are installed the optimized version of
New Entry:    pkgtool runs into problems.  These problems are caused by installing broken
New Entry:    packages, and should not be blamed on pkgtool (there are many ways to build a
New Entry:    tar+gz package that does not conform to the rules as defined by a makepkg
New Entry:    built tgz package, and it would be impossible to "fix" pkgtool to handle all
New Entry:    of them properly).  Perhaps these optimizations will be looked at again for
New Entry:    Slackware 11, but IMHO a faster way to get a list of packages is to go into
New Entry:    /var/log/packages and use "ls" and "less", and a better way to remove them
New Entry:    is with removepkg.  In any case, this version of pkgtool works better so
New Entry:    that's what will ship with Slackware 10.1.
New Entry:  d/jre-1_5_0_01-i586-1.tgz:  Replaced j2sdk 1.5.0 with jre-1.5.0_01.
New Entry:    The full J2SDK is not needed by most people, and is making the first
New Entry:    Slackware test ISO too large (size limit on a replicated ISO is 670MB), so
New Entry:    an updated version of the JRE will replace it.  If you need the full J2SDK,
New Entry:    it is easily obtained from Sun (at java.sun.com).
New Entry:  kde/kdeedu-3.3.2-i486-2.tgz:  Rebuilt, fixed incorrect permissions.
New Entry:  kde/kdelibs-3.3.2-i486-2.tgz:  Rebuilt to work with Python 2.4.
New Entry:    Added kioslave patch.
New Entry:  kde/koffice-1.3.5-i486-2.tgz:  Rebuilt to work with Python 2.4.
New Entry:    Patched kpdf crash.
New Entry:  l/sdl-1.2.8-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to sdl-1.2.8.
New Entry:  n/bind-9.3.0-i486-3.tgz:  Patched a possible denial of service in BIND's
New Entry:    validator code.  The risk level on this bug is rather low, as the flaw
New Entry:    only affects BIND if DNSSEC is used.  This is not the default setting.
New Entry:    (* Security fix *)
New Entry:  n/openssl-0.9.7e-i486-3.tgz:  Rebuilt.
New Entry:  n/sendmail-8.13.3-i486-2.tgz:  Applied a CLOSE_WAIT patch.
New Entry:  n/sendmail-cf-8.13.3-noarch-2.tgz:  Rebuilt.
New Entry:  xap/mozilla-plugins-1.7.5-noarch-2.tgz:  Point to the correct path for the
New Entry:    JRE rather than the J2SDK.
New Entry:  extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-1.4-noarch-9.tgz:  Upgraded to slackpkg-1.4-noarch-9.
