More recompilation was needed after icu4c update in slackware-current. Rebuilt for -current is: deps/telepathy:telepathy-mission-control Since I had the VM up & running anyway I also updated: applications:konsole (patched to change the $TERM to 'konsole') applications-extra:digikan,krita,skanlite (version upgrades)

Slackware64-current

slackware64 current changes for Thu, 19 Apr 2018 01:04:06 GMT April 19, 2018
Hi folks, and welcome to the third ever Slackware Mass Rebuild (and the longest ChangeLog entry in project history). There were two primary motivations for rebuilding everything in the main tree. The first was to switch to the new C++ ABI. The second was to get rid of all the .la files in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. […]

New Live ISOs for Slackware-current 20180209

I have uploaded a fresh set of ISOs for the Slackware Live Edition. They are (of course) based on the ‘liveslak‘ scripts and contain the latest Slackware-current dated “Fri Feb 9 19:59:54 UTC 2018“), which sports the new 4.14.18 kernel which is mitigated against the Meltdown and Spectre v1 vulnerabilities. The ISO variants you will […]

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

I have released an update of the ‘liveslak‘ scripts. I needed the tag for a batch of new ISO images for the Slackware Live Edition. 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

When I released new Live ISO images almost two weeks ago, a bug in the init script which became apparent with the latest Slackware initrd broke the encrypted /home feature. 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 […]
