Sending off my mom to a new adventure.
Month: May 2024
Three weeks ago, the quarterly (security and stability) updates to various Java source code repositories were released. This means, new packages for OpenJDK versions 8, 11 and 17 are now in my Slackware repository. It took a while but hey, here they are.
For OpenJDK 8 I still use icedtea to compile the Java sources because it is convenient. The more modern versions like 11 and 17 are easier to compile (plus, icedtea does not support them).
All of these Java packages are nowadays targeting Slackware 15.0 and newer. So, get one of these if you have a need for it (and do not install more than one of them):
- OpenJDK 8u412_b08 comes as an openjdk package.
- OpenJDK 11.0.23_9 (aka the 11.0.23 General Availability release) comes as an openjdk11 package.
- OpenJDK 17.0.11_9 (aka the 17.0.11 General Availability release) comes as an openjdk17 package.
Have fun!

In Google’s release notes for the latest Chromium 124.0.6367.201 source code it is mentioned that this release fixes a zero-day vulnerability. Beware: this is already the 5th zero-day which was reported and fixed in Chromium in 2024.
This vulnerability is already actively exploited in the wild, and is labeled CVE-2024-4671, so please upgrade your chromium and also ungoogled-chromium packages as soon as you can.
You can fetch my Slackware 15.0 and -current packages both for chromium and chromium-ungoogled . You can also visit mirror servers (like my own US server and in a short while, the UK mirror) in case my own server is not responding or too slow.
Note that I still do not provide 32bit package updates for Chromium and Chromium-ungoogled. It is a lot of work to find out how to compile rust and llvm on 32bit Slackware ‘the Google way’ and so far the solution has eluded me.
I need these custom rust and clang compilers to compile Chromium sources on 32bit.
And please don’t tell me ‘to look at how Debian does it’ – it does not help.
Cheers, Eric
