Alien's multilib packages

Sun, 17 Jun 2018 10:12:13 GMT
current/glibc-2.27_multilib-x86_64-4alien.txz: Rebuilt. When installing the package, remove old versions of the glibc shared libraries. In addition to eliminating residue on the system from old package versions, this change will make it possible in the future to revert to older glibc packages using upgradepkg. Don't restart init in the install script, let rc.6 handle it. current/glibc-i18n-2.27_multilib-x86_64-4alien.txz: […]

What’s new for January? Plasma5 18.01, and more

When I sat down to write a new post I noticed that I had not written a single post since the previous Plasma 5 announcement. Well, I guess the past month was a busy one. Also I bought a new e-reader (the Kobo Aura H2O 2nd edition) to replace my ageing Sony PRS-T1. That made […]

Live ISOs for Slackware-current 20171122

These are based on the latest Slackware-current dated “Wed Nov 22 05:27:06 UTC 2017“) i.e. yesterday and that means, the ISOs are going to boot into the new 4.14.1 kernel. The […]

Refreshed ISO’s for Slackware Live Edition, and more

Therefore I am releasing an updated set of ‘liveslak‘ scripts with version 1.1.9.1 . The latest set of Slackware Live Edition ISOs are based on liveslak 1.1.9.1 and Slackware-current dated […]

liveslak 1.1.9 and new ISO images

The ‘liveslak‘ scripts used to create the ISO images for Slackware Live Edition have been stamped with a new version, 1.1.9. The updates are significant enough to warrant an ‘official’ update and new ISO images. The latest set of Slackware Live Edition ISOs are based on liveslak 1.1.9 and Slackware-current dated “Tue Sep 19 20:49:07 UTC 2017“. Just in […]
