Thu Jun 28 15:36:05 PDT 2001 Slackware-stable 8.0 is released! :) ---------------------------- Thu Jun 28 14:32:30 PDT 2001 isolinux/: Added a replacement for the old .eltorito CD boot system that allows selecting from several kernels to boot for the installation. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for writing such a nifty tool, and to Kent Robotti for sending in some useful examples. docs/slackware-book/: Added a copy of the _Slackware Linux Essentials_ manual. ---------------------------- Thu Jun 28 01:04:52 PDT 2001 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Load GLX module by default in XF86Config-fbdev. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 27 10:58:58 PDT 2001 contrib/parted-1.4.14-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU parted-1.4.14. ---------------------------- Tue Jun 26 19:41:18 PDT 2001 zipslack/zipslack.zip: Built new zipslack.zip and fourmeg.zip. ---------------------------- Mon Jun 25 17:47:13 PDT 2001 contrib/libsafe-2.0-2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libsafe-2.0-2. contrib/libsdl-1.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to SDL-1.2.1. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 24 22:22:22 PDT 2001 gtk1/gnomedia.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-media-1.2.3. gtk1/gnoutils.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-utils-1.4.0.1. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 24 19:21:17 PDT 2001 d1/python.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.0.1. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 24 13:01:26 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Patched hard drive installation to try vfat and reiserfs filesystem types. rootdsks/color.gz: Same changes. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same changes. rootdsks/network.dsk, netw245.dsk, pcmcia.dsk, pcm245.dsk: Replaced kernel modules with non-SMP versions. contrib/sgmltools.tgz: Fixed "setend" typo in smgltools.csh. Thanks to James Rich for reporting this. kernels/: Recompiled most of the kernels to remove SMP. Added the smp.i and smp.s kernels for those who want a pre-compiled kernel supporting SMP. Added IP aliasing support to all 2.2.19 kernels except lowmem.i. bootdsks.144/: Rebuilt bootdisks from new kernels. bootdsks.12/: Rebuilt bootdisks from new kernels. a1/e2fsprog.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.22. (bug fixes) Here's hoping the third time's the charm. :) a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patched makebootdisk to use 1.68MB floppy format. (based on a diff from Kent Robotti) Use better grammar in removepkg. (from Aron Rosenburg) Patch example XF86Config-fbdev to load speedo module. a1/i245.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP kernel. a1/ide.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP kernel. a1/modules.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP modules. (the SMP versions can still be found in the modules/ directory) a1/mods245.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP modules, including non-SMP DRI modules from XFree86-4.1.0. (the SMP versions can still be found in the modules/ directory) a1/sc245.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP kernel. a1/scsi.tgz: Replaced with non-SMP kernel. n1/samba.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.0a. (* Security fix *) From the docs for the new version: A remote attacker can use a netbios name containing unix path characters which will then be substituted into the %m macro wherever it occurs in smb.conf. This can be used to cause Samba to create a log file on top of an important system file, which in turn can be used to compromise security on the server. Unless you've modified the logging specification in the default smb.conf, Slackware is NOT vulnerable to this bug. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Patched netconfig.color to probe for Realtek 8139 cards with both the old (rtl8139) and new (8139too) module names. ---------------------------- Thu Jun 21 22:38:10 PDT 2001 a1/util.tgz: Switched back to mount/umount from util-linux-2.11b in response to reports of segfaults. I can't reproduce them here, but have heard about it enough that I'm not going to take any chances on this. The new mount/umount have been renamed to mount-2.11f and umount-2.11f, and the rest of the package is still based on util-linux-2.11f. ap1/oggutils.tgz: Upgraded to libao-0.7.0, libogg-1.0rc1, libvorbis-1.0rc1, vorbis-tools-1.0rc1. (we're still under a freeze here, but this upgrade was needed to provide the last bits of 1.0 functionality) d1/binutils.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.11.90.0.19. gtk1/xmms.tgz: Upgraded to xmms-1.2.5. (adds missing man pages, and fixes i18n problems) ---------------------------- Wed Jun 20 17:36:15 PDT 2001 contrib/libglut-3.7-i386-1.tgz: Added GLUT library. ap1/quota.tgz: Patch to change "reiser" to "reiserfs". n1/proftpd.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.2rc3. ---------------------------- Tue Jun 19 01:55:11 PDT 2001 contrib/gcc-3.0/gcc-3.0-i386-1.tgz: Added gcc-3.0. This is a major new .0 release which isn't likely to be 100% compatible with the existing source code base. I'd consider its use experimental for now. Use at your own risk, etc. Still, it's out, so I think it needed to be in here. a1/lpr.tgz: Patched lpd to ensure that it provides the name of the accounting file to the input filter, fixing an incompatibility with apsfilter-6.1.1. Thanks to Kurt Fitzner for the patch. ---------------------------- Mon Jun 18 02:02:42 PDT 2001 pasture/XFree86-3.3.6-servers/: We don't need all of XFree86 3.3.6, only the old X servers. These run just fine on top of X-4.1.0, and there are many advantages to not using all of the old stuff. (Like, it will actually work with the new versions of KDE and Qt) pasture/3dfx-obsolete/: Move obsolete non-DRI 3dfx drivers here. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Add 8bit patched dialog. Increase size of generated boot floppy to 1.68MB, the largest size that works with all 3.5" floppy drives. (thanks Tim!) Make sure to use /boot/boot-text.b for boot floppy. rootdsks/color.gz: Same changes. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same changes. a1/e2fsprog.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.21. (had to be done) a1/gpm.tgz: Add USB mouse selection to setup menu. (based on a patch by Aron Rosenberg) a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patched dialog to support 8bit characters in inputbox. (Thanks to Jan Rafaj for the patch! :) ap1/manpages.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.38. (not a bug file, but unlikely to break anything ;^) gtk1/imlib.tgz: Relocate under /usr so things compile more easily. gtk1/libungif.tgz: Relocate under /usr so things compile more easily. kde1/qt2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-2.3.1. From the changes-2.3.1: Qt 2.3.1 is a bugfix release. It keeps both forward and backward compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 2.3.0. n1/ftchmail.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-5.8.6. This fixes a buffer overflow in the header parser. (* Security fix *) xap1/rxvt.tgz: Patched buffer overflow reported on BugTraq. (* Security fix *) ---------------------------- Sat Jun 16 20:59:57 PDT 2001 a1/sc245.tgz: Rename s245.tgz to sc245.tgz. ---------------------------- Sat Jun 16 13:43:45 PDT 2001 a1/mods245.tgz: Replaced kernel DRI 3D modules with ones built from the XFree86-4.1.0 source tree. ap1/vim.tgz: Fix bad permissions on /usr/share/vim/vim58. ---------------------------- Fri Jun 15 16:16:38 PDT 2001 a1/lilo.tgz: Recompile LILO to fix install-time errors. ---------------------------- Fri Jun 15 12:39:05 PDT 2001 gnomcore.tgz: The Netscape.desktop included in the gnome-core source runs Mozilla, not Netscape. This has been fixed to run Netscape like it should. ---------------------------- Thu Jun 14 23:36:06 PDT 2001 bootdsks.12/, bootdsks.144/: Update version, use latest LILO. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Add rpc.portmap back to /sbin. It's really not needed for anything, but I'm getting numerous bug reports from people trying to mount NFS manually that it hangs for 5 minutes before the mount completes. Using '-o nolock' (like in INSNFS) fixes that, but it's just easier to include this. rootdsks/color.gz: Same changes. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same changes. contrib/java/: Upgraded to j2sdk-1_3_1-linux-i386 and j2re-1_3_1-linux-i386. contrib/ham/: Several ham packages upgraded by Arno Verhoeven: ham/ax25/ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1.tgz ham/ax25/7plus-2.25-i386-1.tgz ham/ax25/xfbb-7.03h-i386-1.tgz ham/ax25/xconvers-0.7-i386-1.tgz ham/ax25/ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1.tgz ham/propagation/baken-0.4-i386-1.tgz ham/propagation/baken_data-0.4-i386-1.tgz ham/propagation/baken_map-0.4-i386-1.tgz a1/aaa_base.tgz: Update initial email for Slackware ĺtta. :) a1/lilo.tgz: Patch liloconfig to add this to the lilo.conf: change-rules reset Apparently LILO has been rewriting partition tables at boot time, sometimes with nasty side effects. The documentation says this: "This option is _dangerous_ and it is disabled by default." But is _is_ enabled by default, and was changing partition IDs on NT so that NT wouldn't boot. Not good! Adding those two lines turns this behavior off. a1/e2fsprog.tgz: Reverted to e2fsprogs-1.19. I had no good reason to upgrade this package anyway, other than e2image seemed like a nice feature, and it's .01 better, but now I hear there's some major bug fixed in the WIP version. The README requests that WIP versions not be distributed in binary form (not that I would anyway, but there's another reason), so back we go. I moved version 1.20 into /contrib. It worked for me, anyway... a1/hdsetup.tgz: When installing a package, unlink files before copying over them. This might fix problems with upgrading running packages. a1/i245.tgz: Add 2.4.5 IDE kernel package. a1/s245.tgz: Add 2.4.5 IDE/SCSI kernel package. ap1/vim.tgz: Added 3 patches from the vim site. gtk1/wmaker.tgz: Fixed wmaker.inst. gtk1/xvim.tgz: Added 3 patches from the vim site. (* Slackware is now frozen in preparation for the upcoming release *) ---------------------------- Thu Jun 14 01:51:40 PDT 2001 a1/e2fsprog.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.20. a1/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.11f. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 13 18:25:12 PDT 2001 gtk1/gnoprint.tgz: Add missing .so symlink. gtk1/sawfish.tgz: Add locale fix from sawfish CVS. kde1/kdebase.tgz: Add more session types to kdmrc. (Suggested by "rumen") x1/xfree86.tgz: In Xsetup_0, fall back to xsetroot if kdedesktop is missing. xap1/imagick.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-5.3.5. put *-config files in the $PATH. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 13 00:25:58 PDT 2001 a1/etc.tgz: Change shell for mysql user from /bin/false to /bin/bash. (/bin/false prevents su'ing to mysql, so examples in docs don't work) ap1/ispell.tgz: Upgraded to ispell-3.2.03. ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.39. ---------------------------- Tue Jun 12 17:41:29 PDT 2001 a1/procps.tgz: Upgraded to procinfo-18. Upgraded to psmisc-20.1. Fixed a locale problem with top in procps-2.0.7. (Thanks to Andrey Panov for the patch) ---------------------------- Tue Jun 12 15:16:01 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Fix fdformat at end of install. Last version number bump before the release. No more screwing around. rootdsks/color.gz: Same changes. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same changes. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Bump version number. Thanks to Roy Lanek, who suggested the hidden "code name". :) ---------------------------- Tue Jun 12 00:05:12 PDT 2001 d1/binutils.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.11.90.0.15. gtk1/galeon.tgz: Upgraded to galeon-0.11.0. (requires mozilla-0.9.1) gtk1/gnomevfs.tgz: Added gnome-vfs-extras-0.1.1 (smb and icecast support for nautilus) gtk1/gtkhtml.tgz: Added gtkhtml-0.9.2 for pan. gtk1/mozilla.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-0.9.1. OK, I know I said this was all frozen, but I've been testing it since the release. It has a lot of nice improvements, and no new bugs that I've found versus 0.9. So, I'm un-freezing the Mozilla stuff just long enough to let this in. It really would have been a shame not to include it. gtk1/pan.tgz: Added pan-0.9.7 newsreader. (The only *nix newsreader to score 100% on the "Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval" standards tests :) gtk1/nautilus.tgz: Recompiled nautilus-1.0.3 against mozilla-0.9.1. Nautilus-1.0.4 should be out soon (there's a 1.0.3.2 release candidate now), and I do plan to upgrade to that when it's released. ---------------------------- Mon Jun 11 14:10:29 PDT 2001 d1/automake.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.4-p4. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 10 18:46:34 PDT 2001 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Do not run xf86setup during install. Basically, after spending a few hours tracking down the lack of type1 and freetype modules (left out by 'X -configure'), I don't have enough trust for 'X -configure' to make it the default setup approach. Instead, I've written another XF86Config-fbdev file that's copied to /etc/X11/XF86Config if no config file is found. I think that's a more reliable initial X setup, and from there the user can configure for a higher performance native driver if needed. I'm leaving the xfree86setup script in there in case anyone really liked it, and have made sure that it adds those modules so that it's not a trap. On the bright side, the framebuffer seems a whole lot faster under XFree86-4.1.0. :) ---------------------------- Sat Jun 9 20:22:48 PDT 2001 gtk1/mozilla.tgz: Added a symlink in /opt/gnome/lib/mozilla: libnssckbi.so -> ../libnssckbi.so This fixes a problem with PSM failing to recognize a valid CA. ---------------------------- Sat Jun 9 18:51:12 PDT 2001 gtk1/nautilus.tgz: Recompiled without linking to ammonite (only used for eazel services, which are no longer operating). ---------------------------- Sat Jun 9 16:33:11 PDT 2001 ap1/screen.tgz: Upgraded to screen-3.9.9. ---------------------------- Sat Jun 9 12:14:17 PDT 2001 contrib/isdn/: Added isdn4k-utils-CVS-2001-06-09.tar.gz. This version is required for 2.4.x kernels. I'm also leaving the previous version in there (isdn4k-utils.v3.1pre1.tar.gz) for 2.2.x kernels. ---------------------------- Fri Jun 8 22:46:08 PDT 2001 n1/epic4.tgz: Upgraded to epic4-1.0.1. Thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier for showing me how to check out the updated help files from CVS. :) ---------------------------- Fri Jun 8 16:50:13 PDT 2001 ap1/sudo.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.3p7. I've heard this is a security fix, but can't find any details. You might want to treat it as such. ---------------------------- Fri Jun 8 14:29:02 PDT 2001 ap1/ispell.tgz: Upgraded to ispell-3.2.02. #undef NO8BIT (normally #define NO8BIT is the default). ---------------------------- Thu Jun 7 16:58:45 PDT 2001 gtk1/gdm.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.2.2.1 (* Security fix *). From the GDM ChangeLog: * slave.c: SECURITY! when reinitializing the display for another go, first bake new cookies ---------------------------- Thu Jun 7 03:20:23 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Add an error dialog if the drive runs out of space during the installation. Thanks to Saqib Shaikh for figuring out that this condition is the cause of the "kernel install menu loop" reports. rootdsks/color.gz: Same fix as above. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same fix as above. a1/elflibs.tgz: Upgraded with libvga.so.1.4.3 and libvgagl.so.1.4.3. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Fixed the problem with XF86Config not getting installed in /etc/X11. Remove depricated setup.tty and pkgtool.tty tools. ap1/ghostscr.tgz: Added Gimp-Print version 4.0.5 drivers. (upgrading gs itself requires many patches, and will probably not happen until after the next release, but upgrading the Gimp-Print part isn't likely to break anything and adds support for many new Epson printers) d1/svgalib.tgz: Upgraded to svgalib-1.4.3. xap1/gs_x11.tgz: gs5.50 binary for X recompiled with new Gimp-Print driver. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 6 15:05:08 PDT 2001 n1/mutt.tgz: Use --enable-locales-fix. n1/wget.tgz: Upgraded to GNU wget-1.7. xap1/rxvt.tgz: Add --enable-xim and a locale patch. Thanks to Denis Ducamp for the rxvt and mutt bug reports. ---------------------------- Tue Jun 5 21:22:53 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Fix a problem with setup segfaulting on some machines. Ghadi Shayban discovered the problem and provided an accurate and detailed bug report pinpointing the area of code to investigate. Thanks! :) rootdsks/color.gz: Same fix as above. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same fix as above. pasture/text-rootdisk/text.gz: Retired (at least for now). This isn't up to date, and would need a lot of fixes for 2.4 support. I'd rather not leave it in /rootdsks where unsuspecting users will be tricked into trying to install with it. ---------------------------- Mon Jun 4 22:53:34 PDT 2001 gtk1/guile.tgz: Upgraded to guile-1.4. gtk1/gnogames.tgz: Guile uses a new incompatible soname (libguile.so.9), so sol needed to be recompiled. As far as I know, this is the only thing that links with libguile. Correct me if I'm wrong. :) gtk1/gnoprint.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-print-0.29. x1/xf86jdoc.tgz: Removed unmaintained Japanese docs. x1/xf86ps.tgz: Removed unmaintained PostScript docs. (It looks like both of these were last touched around XFree86-3.2, and are probably too old to be of much use) Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0. This builds libGLU.so again, so we don't need to use an old version, and adds DRI support for the ATI Radeon (among other enhancements). x1/xf86doc.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 documentation. x1/xf86html.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 HTML docs. x1/xf86prog.tgz: Upgraded to development libraries and include files from XFree86-4.1.0. x1/xfree86.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 base package. x1/xnest.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 nested X server. x1/xprt.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 print-only X server. x1/xvfb.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 virtual framebuffer X server. x1/lesstif.tgz: Upgraded to lesstif-0.92.32. I'm still looking it over to see, but we can't be far from a freeze now. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 3 19:49:05 PDT 2001 ap1/zsh.tgz: Upgraded to zsh-4.0.1. gtk1/lunicode.tgz: Upgraded from libunicode-0.4 to libunicode-0.4.gnome. Thanks to Jeffrey W. Baker for pointing out that we weren't using the correct version. xap1/fvwm2.tgz: Upgraded to fvwm-2.2.5. This fixes a rare security problem where fvwm would use .fvwm2rc from the current directory if no $HOME was set. ---------------------------- Sun Jun 3 13:48:58 PDT 2001 ap1/cdrtools.tgz: Fixed the "can't mmap 4700000 bytes from /dev/zero" problem happening with 2.2 kernels. (It worked again after a recompile against 2.2.19 and glibc-2.2.3) n1/tcpip1.tgz: Patch in.comsat to correctly biff when the mail goes somewhere other than /var/spool/mail/mailbox. Thanks to Tom Crane for fixing this! ---------------------------- Sat Jun 2 16:59:00 PDT 2001 n1/sendmail.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.11.4. n1/smailcfg.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.11.4 config files. ---------------------------- Sat Jun 2 14:03:10 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Fix sbin/probe bug to detect SCSI partitions properly. rootdsks/color.gz: Same fix as above. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same fix as above. bootdsks.144/speakup.i: Add 2.2.19 IDE bootdisk with Speakup (speech synth/screen reader) support. bootdsks.144/speakup.s: Add 2.2.19 SCSI bootdisk with Speakup (speech synth/screen reader) support. The patch to add Speakup support to 2.2.19 has also been added to source/kernel-source/v2.2. Thanks to Raul A. Gallegos for encouraging me to add this support and providing useful tips and examples. ---------------------------- Fri Jun 1 13:56:15 PDT 2001 ap1/vim.tgz: Upgraded to vim-5.8, ctags-5.0.1. gtk1/xvim.tgz: Upgraded to vim-5.8, ctags-5.0.1. ---------------------------- Thu May 31 20:47:46 PDT 2001 pasture/autoconf-2.13/autoconf.tgz: Add autoconf-2.13 package. pasture/automake-1.4/automake.tgz: Add autoconf-1.4 package. We need to provide the latest versions of these in order to be ready for new projects which will require them, but these versions are being restored in /pasture because not all projects have updated to the new versions yet, and because they are needed to compile some of the existing Slackware sources. ---------------------------- Wed May 30 20:30:05 PDT 2001 bootdsks.144/2.4.5/aha1542.s: This is mostly to test for a problem reported with the aha1542 driver in the multi-adaptec disk. ---------------------------- Wed May 30 16:01:45 PDT 2001 a1/bin.tgz: In crond, use /usr/sbin/sendmail for mail path, not /usr/lib/sendmail. (Sendmail replacements often only provide a /usr/sbin/sendmail link/binary) ---------------------------- Tue May 29 19:57:08 PDT 2001 d1/autoconf.tgz: Upgraded to autoconf-2.50. d1/automake.tgz: Upgraded to automake-1.4-p2. d1/libtool.tgz: Upgraded to libtool-1.4. gtk1/gdm.tgz: Fixed the rootlogin diff, which wasn't applying. ---------------------------- Tue May 29 14:44:46 PDT 2001 a1/fileutls.tgz: Recompile with glibc-2.2.3 to fix static ln. ap1/rpm.tgz: This was also linked static and could presumably have similar locale problems, so I'm recompiling it just-in-case. d1/cvs.tgz: Fixed contrib symlink in docs directory. ---------------------------- Mon May 28 20:47:02 PDT 2001 bootdsks.144/2.4.5/adaptec.s: Recompile 2.4.5 with Viro's patch to fix the problem unmounting ReiserFS volumes. bootdsks.144/2.4.5/bare.i: Recompiled the kernel with the above patch. bootdsks.144/2.4.5/ncr_sym.s: Recompiled the kernel with the above patch. k1/lnx245.tgz: Add a copy of the patch in /usr/src. source/kernel-source/v2.4/: Also put a copy in here. ---------------------------- Mon May 28 16:39:34 PDT 2001 ap1/quota.tgz: rm rpc.rquotad, as there's a better version in tcpip1.tgz already (part of nfs-utils). d1/cvs.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.1p1. d1/gcl.tgz: Upgraded to gcl-2.4.0. ---------------------------- Sun May 27 16:53:12 PDT 2001 .eltorito/README: Fix example for new versions of mkisofs. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Fix mounting a partition in setup without formatting it. (mount failed before) Fix /dev/makedevs.sh so it works with SCSI disks. New full install size estimate == ~2GB. rootdsks/color.gz: Same fixes as above. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Same fixes as above. bootdsks.144/2.4.5/ncr_sym.s: NCR/Symbios SCSI 2.4.5 bootdisk. d1/gcc.tgz: crtendS.o patched for glibc-2.2.3. ---------------------------- Sat May 26 17:44:44 PDT 2001 bootdsks.144/2.4.5/bare.i: Added IDE 2.4.5 bootdisk. bootdsks.144/2.4.5/adaptec.s: Added Adaptec SCSI 2.4.5 bootdisk. rootdsks/pcm245.dsk, netw245.dsk: Added versions of the network and pcmcia supplemental disks for use with Linux 2.4.5. a1/aaa_base.tgz: Fix permissions of directories in /etc/X11 that were getting created chmod 777. (spotted by Phil Howard) Remove this ancient relic: drwxrwxrwt root/root 0 1993-11-30 10:13 var/spool/tmp/ a1/hdsetup.tgz: The new fileutils-4.1 ls introduced an off-by-one bug in makepkg, causing it to produce broken install scripts. Patched. a1/kbd.tgz: Fixed broken install script. a1/mods245.tgz: Upgraded kernel and pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.5.

(I rebuilt mozilla with this and it worked perfectly with not one diff required. Good enough for me) d1/glocale.tgz: Upgraded to locale files from glibc-2.2.3. gtk1/gdm.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.2.2. ---------------------------- Thu May 24 22:20:00 PDT 2001 ap1/cdutils.tgz: Removed. cdwrite removed, and cdrdao and cdrtools moved into their own packages. ap1/cdrdao.tgz: Added cdrdao-1.1.5. ap1/cdrtools.tgz: Added cdrtools-1.10. ---------------------------- Thu May 24 14:16:25 PDT 2001 kde1/kmedia.tgz: Link with Ogg libraries. ---------------------------- Thu May 24 02:10:10 PDT 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Switch back to mount from util-linux. rootdsks/color.gz: Switch back to mount from util-linux. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Switch back to mount from util-linux. a1/sysvinit.tgz: In rc.S, check for devfsd before trying to run it. In rc.M, add 'start' parameter for rc.samba and rc.httpd. ap1/ksh93.tgz: Fix extra '.gz' on manpage symlinks. ap1/manpages.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.36. f1/howto.tgz: Updated to the newest batch of HOWTOs. f1/manyfaqs.tgz: Updated to newest Linux FAQs on ibiblio.org. f1/mini.tgz: Updated to the newest batch of mini-HOWTOs. gtk1/nautilus.tgz: Don't use shared cdparanoia libraries. n1/apache.tgz: Upgraded to apache_1.3.20 + EAPI patches from mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20. n1/mod_ssl.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20. ---------------------------- Wed May 23 03:15:18 PDT 2001 /pasture/sliplogin-2.1.1/sliplogin.tgz: rm spurious symlink. ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.38. ap1/rpm.tgz: Upgraded to rpm-4.0.2. GNOME 1.4 updated: gtk1/ammonite.tgz: Removed. (merged into nautilus.tgz) gtk1/gal.tgz: Upgraded to gal-0.8. gtk1/galeon.tgz: Upgraded to galeon-0.10.6. gtk1/gconf.tgz: Upgraded to GConf-1.0.1. gtk1/gnumeric.tgz: Upgraded to gnumeric-0.65. gtk1/libole2.tgz: Upgraded to libole2-0.2.3. gtk1/libxml1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml-1.8.13. gtk1/mozilla.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-0.9. gtk1/nautilus.tgz: Upgraded to nautilus-1.0.3.

Add missing exports(5) man page. n1/ytalk.tgz: Split ytalk out of tcpip2. n1/tcpip2.tgz: After everything was split out, nothing was left except a symlink and an empty directory, which I threw away. :) Phased out. ---------------------------- Sun May 20 11:48:56 PDT 2001 The Apache packages have been updated by David Cantrell: n1/apache.tgz: Recompiled using latest EAPI patches from mod_ssl-2.8.3-1.3.19. n1/mod_php.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.0.5. (and not linked with FreeType) n1/mod_ssl.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.3-1.3.19. ---------------------------- Sat May 19 19:51:33 PDT 2001 (beta #1, but not quite frozen yet) bootdsks.144/2.4.4/lnx_2_4.i: Added IDE 2.4.4 bootdisk. bootdsks.144/2.4.4/lnx_2_4.s: Added Adaptec SCSI 2.4.4 bootdisk. rootdsks/color.gz: Now supports 2.2 AND 2.4 kernels. Added support for ReiserFS. Add MD5SUM field to package data in /var/log/packages/. rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.26 for Linux version 2.2.19. rootdsks/pcm244.dsk, netw244.dsk: Added versions of the network and pcmcia supplemental disks for use with Linux 2.4.4. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Now supports 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. Add MD5SUM field to package data in /var/log/packages/. pasture/ibcs-2.1/ibcs2.tgz: Moved iBCS emulator to /pasture. I don't think enough people are using this anymore to place it in the base system, and I never cared for the /shlib directory. ;) a1/hdsetup.tgz: Add MD5SUM field to package data. a1/lilo.tgz: liloconfig no longer labels Linux partitions as "ext2fs". a1/mods244.tgz: Added linux-2.4.4 kernel modules. a1/modules.tgz: Added linux-2.2.19 pcmcia modules from pcmcia-cs-3.1.26. a1/pcmcia.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.26. (note that the pcmcia kernel modules are no longer bundled with this package) k1/lnx244.tgz: Added linux-2.4.4 kernel source. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Update to new color.gz. ---------------------------- Thu May 17 21:39:56 PDT 2001 /pasture/bind-8.2.4/bind.tgz: Added bind-8.2.4. a1/elflibs.tgz: Add /usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.11. a1/modules.tgz: Fix rc.modules to handle 2.2 or 2.4 kernels. (thanks Alan!) ap1/apsfilt.tgz: Upgraded to apsfilter-6.1.1. ap1/cdparano.tgz: Upgraded to cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8. d1/bin86.tgz: Upgraded to bin86-0.15.5. d1/libpng.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.0.11. gtk1/gnogames.tgz: Recompiled against libguile, restoring "sol". gtk1/guile.tgz: Added GNU guile-1.3.4. n1/bind.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.1.2. n1/tcpip1.tgz: In rc.inet2, start named directly since ndc is gone. ---------------------------- Wed May 16 19:20:04 PDT 2001 a1/bin.tgz: Add /sbin/fsck.reiserfs -> /bin/true symlink. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Fixes to work with devfs-enabled kernels. a1/lilo.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-21.7.5. Made some odd hacks to liloconfig to let it keep working with the old device names for one more release cycle. (even if you try to use a devfs-enabled kernel, but don't mount devfs :) a1/sysvinit.tgz: Patched /etc/rc.d/rc.6 to use "sleep 1 ; wait" before rebooting. The "sleep" fixes some machines that otherwise wouldn't flush all disk buffers, and the "wait" ensures SMP machines wait for the sleep to complete. I think this should fix the few machines with stubborn fscking problems at boot time. Don't try to mount SMB shares in rc.S. Unmount them in rc.6. n1/openssh.tgz: Fix rc.sshd output formatting when new keys are generated. n1/tcpip1.tgz: In rc.inet2, ypbind needs -broadcast. Handle SMB shares in rc.inet2 (thanks to Mark Flacy for these suggestions :) Fix missing '#' in rc.nfsd. (found by Chris Lumens) NIS section of rc.inet2 rewritten by Chris Lumens. ---------------------------- Wed May 16 00:10:04 PDT 2001 pasture/nfs-server-2.2beta47/oldnfsd.tgz: Moved old user-space NFSD utilities to /pasture, as Slackware now uses the knsfd NFS utils. a1/bin.tgz: Upgraded to eject-2.0.6. a1/sysvinit.tgz: Run "/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd stop" at shutdown. Various other non-essential text/comment cleanups in /etc/rc.d/. n1/samba.tgz: Move /etc/rc.d/rc.samba to /usr/doc/samba-2.2.0/examples/. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Changes in /etc/inetd.conf (rm your existing file first) Fix bootpd example line in /etc/inetd.conf. Start samba in /etc/inetd.conf instead of with rc.samba. Changes in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 (rm your existing file before installing) Start nfsd using "/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd start" instead of directly. Edit script output for a more professional text appearance. ;) Upgrade to nfs-utils-0.3.1. (note that this requires the nfsd.o module) Switch to portmap_4 with H.J. Lu's knfsd patches (these will still work with the user-space nfsd utils if needed) Add /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd to start/stop/restart knfsd. Upgraded to net-tools-1.60. ---------------------------- Mon May 14 18:01:56 PDT 2001 contrib/w3m-0.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Added w3m-0.2.1 text-mode browser. a1/reiserfs.tgz: Upgraded to reiserfsprogs-3.x.0j. a1/sysvinit.tgz: Change devfs detection method in rc.S. ap1/groff.tgz: Upgraded to GNU groff 1.17. gtk1/gnomcore.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-core-1.4.0.4. n1/iptables.tgz: Upgraded to iptables-1.2.2. ---------------------------- Sun May 13 15:39:00 PDT 2001 a1/sysvinit.tgz: Add devfsd startup to rc.S (if devfs is mounted). Fix typo and gdm bug in rc.4. Add 2 second poweroff/reboot delay (I've heard reports that some machines running 2.4 switch off before the drive cache can write out, and that adding this short delay fixes it). a1/util.tgz: Upgrade /bin/hostname to net-tools-1.60 version. Patch bugs in the rc.serial script. gtk1/wmaker.tgz: Upgraded to WindowMaker-0.65.0. n1/proftpd.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.2rc2. (yes, I know using an "rc" goes against the usual rules, but that's what ftp.kernel.org is running, and I can't let it go out with that globbing bug in it... maybe there will still be an official release in time, but this is just in case) ---------------------------- Sat May 12 23:01:42 PDT 2001 a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.4.6. ap1/mc.tgz: Reverted to mc-4.5.51. I've received many complaints about problems with the newer version of mc, and it doesn't look like they'll be fixed any time soon, so I'm going back to the last version that worked. Also, removed --with-samba support, which was causing random freezes at launch time for users who aren't running a samba server and do not need (or want) samba support. Note also that the newest version wouldn't compile as a GNOME app. n1/ppp.tgz: Upgraded to ppp-2.4.1. ---------------------------- Sat May 12 01:55:57 PDT 2001 gtk1/eog.tgz: Added eog-0.6, the Eye of GNOME image viewer. gtk1/imlib.tgz: Fix libimlib-gif.so to link with libungif.so.4.1.0. ---------------------------- Thu May 10 21:08:45 PDT 2001 ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.37. ---------------------------- Thu May 10 12:54:11 PDT 2001 n1/openssh.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-2.9p1. (adds large file support) n1/samba.tgz: Patched to link with -lcrypt before -lcrypto, otherwise MD5 password support is broken. (Submitted by Kristofer T. Karas) ---------------------------- Wed May 9 10:36:09 PDT 2001 kde1/kdelibs.tgz: Upgraded to kdelibs-2.1.2. (* Security fix *) Security fixes to libkdesu. n1/inn.tgz: Upgraded to inn-2.3.2. ---------------------------- Mon May 7 18:04:08 PDT 2001 d1/gettext.tgz: Revert to gettext-0.10.35. (I was talked into upgrading to gettext-0.10.36 because of improvements with Russian locales, but this version breaks other locales and seems to be no longer available on alpha.gnu.org, so I'm deeming it "not ready") gtk1/abi.tgz: Fixed some directory ownerships, removed static version. gtk1/xmms.tgz: Removed a bunch of broken symlinks. ---------------------------- Sun May 6 00:15:35 PDT 2001 gtk1/enlight.tgz: Fixed some directory permissions. gtk1/xmms.tgz: Removed source files accidentally included in /usr/doc/xmms-1.2.4/. ---------------------------- Sat May 5 11:28:45 PDT 2001 a1/elflibs.tgz: Add libpopt.so.0.0.0, which will be needed by several things in GNOME. ap1/mc.tgz: Upgraded to mc-4.5.54. ap1/oggutils.tgz: Added tools/libraries to support Ogg Vorbis. Contains: libao-0.6.0, libogg-1.0beta4, libvorbis-1.0beta4, vorbis-tools-1.0beta4. Upgraded to GNOME 1.4 (major kudos to the GNOME development team!) gtk1/aaagnome.tgz: This package adds /opt/gnome/bin (the new home for GNOME) to the $PATH, and /opt/gnome/lib to the /etc/ld.so.conf. These changes are required to run just about anything else here, so make sure to install it. gtk1/abi.tgz: Added abi-0.7.14-2. gtk1/ammonite.tgz: Added ammonite-1.0.0. gtk1/audiofil.tgz: Rebuilt audiofile-0.2.1. gtk1/bonobo.tgz: Added bonobo-1.0.2. gtk1/bugbuddy.tgz: Upgraded to bug-buddy-2.0.1. gtk1/control.tgz: Upgraded to control-center-1.4.0.1. gtk1/ee.tgz: Recompiled ee-0.3.12. gtk1/enlight.tgz: Recompiled enlightenment-0.16.5. gtk1/esound.tgz: Upgraded to esound-0.2.22. gtk1/eterm.tgz: Recompiled Eterm-0.8.10. gtk1/fnlib.tgz: Recompiled fnlib-0.5. gtk1/gal.tgz: Added gal-0.7. gtk1/galeon.tgz: Added galeon-0.10.5. gtk1/gconf.tgz: Added GConf-1.0.0. gtk1/gdkpixbf.tgz: Upgraded to gdk-pixbuf-0.10.1. gtk1/gdm.tgz: Upgraded to gdm-2.2.0. gtk1/gedit.tgz: Upgraded to gedit-0.9.6. gtk1/gftp.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.8. gtk1/ggv.tgz: Upgraded to ggv-1.0. gtk1/ghex.tgz: Added ghex-1.2. gtk1/gimp.tgz: Recompiled gimp-1.2.1. gtk1/gimplibs.tgz: Added aalib-1.2 and mpeg_lib-1.3.1 package. gtk1/gladedev.tgz: Upgraded to glade-0.6.2. gtk1/glib.tgz: Upgraded to glib-1.2.10. gtk1/gmp.tgz: Recompiled gmp-3.1.1. gtk1/gnoadmin.tgz: Recompiled gnome-admin-1.0.3. gtk1/gnoaudio.tgz: Rebuilt gnome-audio-1.4.0. gtk1/gnogames.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-games-1.4.0.1. gtk1/gnomapps.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-applets-1.4.0.1. gtk1/gnomcore.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-core-1.4.0.2. gtk1/gnomedia.tgz: Recompiled gnome-media-1.2.0. gtk1/gnomeicu.tgz: Recompiled gnomeicu-0.96.1. gtk1/gnomemm.tgz: Added gnomemm-1.1.16. gtk1/gnomenet.tgz: Recompiled gnome-network-1.0.2. gtk1/gnomepim.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-pim-1.4.0. gtk1/gnometop.tgz: Upgraded to gtop-1.0.13. gtk1/gnomevfs.tgz: Added gnome-vfs-1.0. gtk1/gnomlibs.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-libs-1.2.13. gtk1/gnomobjc.tgz: Recompiled gnome-objc-1.0.40. gtk1/gnoprint.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-print-0.28. gtk1/gnotepad.tgz: Upgraded to gnotepad+-1.3.3. gtk1/gnoutils.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-utils-1.4.0. gtk1/gnpython.tgz: Upgraded to gnome-python-1.4.1. gtk1/gnumeric.tgz: Upgraded to gnumeric-0.64. gtk1/gqmpeg.tgz: Recompiled gqmpeg-0.6.3. gtk1/gtkeng.tgz: Upgraded to gtk-engines-0.12. gtk1/gtkmm.tgz: Added gtkmm-1.2.5. gtk1/gtkplus.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-1.2.10. gtk1/gtm.tgz: Added gtm-0.4.9. gtk1/imlib.tgz: Upgraded to imlib-1.9.10. gtk1/libghttp.tgz: Recompiled libghttp-1.0.9. gtk1/libglade.tgz: Upgraded to libglade-0.16. gtk1/libgtop.tgz: Recompiled libgtop-1.0.12. gtk1/libole2.tgz: Added libole2-0.2.1. gtk1/librep.tgz: Upgraded to librep-0.13.6. gtk1/libsigc.tgz: Added libsigc++-1.0.3. gtk1/libungif.tgz: Recompiled libungif-4.1.0. gtk1/libxml1.tgz: Recompiled libxml-1.8.11. gtk1/lunicode.tgz: Added libunicode-0.4. gtk1/mozilla.tgz: Added mozilla-0.8.1. gtk1/nautilus.tgz: Added nautilus-1.0.2. gtk1/oaf.tgz: Added oaf-0.6.5. gtk1/orbit.tgz: Recompiled ORBit-0.5.7. gtk1/panelmm.tgz: Added panelmm-0.1. gtk1/repgtk.tgz: Upgraded to rep-gtk-0.15. gtk1/sawfish.tgz: Upgraded to sawfish-0.38. gtk1/scrollkp.tgz: Added scrollkeeper-0.2. gtk1/userdocs.tgz: Added gnome-user-docs-1.4.1. gtk1/wmaker.tgz: Recompiled WindowMaker-0.64.0. gtk1/xalf.tgz: Added xalf-0.12. gtk1/xchat.tgz: Added xchat-1.6.4. gtk1/xmms.tgz: Added xmms-1.2.4. gtk1/xscrsave.tgz: Upgraded to xscreensaver-3.32. n1/samba.tgz: Fix path in /etc/rc.d/rc.samba. Add /var/spool/samba and /var/lock/samba directories. Add SSL cert directory to smb.conf-sample. x1/xf86prog.tgz: Removed extra set of freetype2 includes. :) xap1/freefont.tgz: Moved freefonts-0.10 package here (formerly in the GTK series). pasture/gnome-attic/gmc.tgz: Moved GNOME version of mc into /pasture. (You might still want to use it instead of Nautilus if you have a slower machine, but I moved it here because I found it was "unkillable" once started and would interfere with Nautilus) ---------------------------- Mon Apr 23 22:33:36 PDT 2001 a1/aaa_base.tgz: Remove /usr/openwin/ (handled by XV series). Remove /usr/man/preformat, which hasn't been used for years. a1/bin.tgz: Fix COPYING links in dosfstools docs. a1/etc.tgz: Remove XView things from /etc/csh.login and /etc/profile. These are moved into /etc/profile.d/ scripts in the xvol32.tgz package. Add /etc/ld.so.conf-incoming, which is moved into place if no /etc/ld.so.conf exists. a1/glibcso.tgz: Added ldd and ldconfig from glibc, and wrote man pages for them. a1/ldso.tgz: Moved to /pasture/libc5-attic/. a1/lilo.tgz: In liloconfig, when searching for the MBR device, only consider partitioned devices in /proc/partitions. This should weed out devices such as CD-ROM drives. d1/glibc.tgz: Add ldconfig and ldd, and manpages for them. Add extra copy of the timeconfig scripts from a1/zoneinfo.tgz to make glibc.tgz fully complete and self-contained. :) d1/python.tgz: Added _cursesmodule.so linked with ncurses for those that want to try ESR's new kernel config tool (CML2). gtk1/freetype.tgz: Removed. (now included with XFree86) n1/ntp4.tgz: Fixed bash-specific syntax in install script. n1/samba.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.0. Config file directory changed from /etc/ to /etc/samba/. (* Security fix *) Samba versions earlier than 2.0.8 contained /tmp bugs which could allow a local attacker to write to devices such as hard drives, possibly corrupting data. x1/xf86prog.tgz: Added freetype-1.3.1. As this is included with the XFree86 4.0.3 sources, this seems a better place for it than in the GTK series. Removed extra set of freetype2 includes. x1/xfree86.tgz: Added shared libraries and locale files for freetype-1.3.1. xv1/xvol32.tgz: Add /etc/profile.d/xview.* scripts. Edit install script to add /usr/openwin/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf. ---------------------------- Sun Apr 15 16:50:01 PDT 2001 a1/gpm.tgz: Patched for devfs, fixed mouseconfig. a1/lilo.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-21.7.3. In liloconfig, search for the correct MBR device in /proc/partitions. a1/util.tgz: Remove obsolete wall.c patch. Add sln.8 man page. n1/ftchmail.tgz: Upgrade to fetchmail-5.8.1, add SSL support. ---------------------------- Thu Apr 12 22:12:09 PDT 2001 a1/bin.tgz: Added some missing dosfstools docs. a1/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.11b. n1/apache.tgz: Rebuilt Apache using EAPI patches from mod_ssl-2.8.2-1.3.19. n1/mod_ssl.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.2-1.3.19. tcl1/tcl.tgz: Upgraded to tcl8.3.3. tcl1/tclx.tgz: Upgraded to tclx8.3. tcl1/tk.tgz: Upgraded to tk8.3.3. xap1/tkdesk.tgz: Moved to /pasture. (the new version doesn't work with Tcl >= 8.1, maybe this will be brought back but for now it's not high priority) ---------------------------- Wed Apr 11 23:33:53 PDT 2001 a1/fileutls.tgz: Added "TERM screen" to /etc/DIR_COLORS. d1/perl.tgz: Upgraded to perl-5.6.1, DBI-1.15. ---------------------------- Wed Apr 11 16:29:38 PDT 2001 contrib/xemacs/: Upgraded to xemacs-21.1.14. contrib/xemacs/intlfonts-1.2/: Added intlfonts-1.2 from ftp.gnu.org. ---------------------------- Tue Apr 10 18:10:15 PDT 2001 contrib/ham/: Merged in updates for the ham packages from Arno Verhoeven. Updated packages include: contrib/ham/ax25/ax25_apps-0.0.5p2-i386-1.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/ax25_tools-0.0.6-i386-2.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/libax25-0.0.7-i386-3.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/node-0.3.0-i386-2.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/soundmodem-0.4-i386-2.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/xcall-0.02-i386-1.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/xconvers-0.6-i386-1.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/xfbb-7.03e-i386-1.tgz contrib/ham/ax25/z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2.tgz contrib/ham/login/opie-2.32-i386-3.tgz contrib/ham/login/opie_server-2.32-i386-1.tgz a1/bash.tgz: Upgraded to bash-2.05. a1/bin.tgz: Upgraded to apmd-3.0, asapm-2.10, dosfstools-2.8, gawk-3.0.6, hdparm-4.1, indent-2.2.6, splitvt-1.6.5 (* Security fix *), which-2.12. Added mktemp, savelog, and tempfile (found in debianutils_1.13.3.tar.gz). About splitvt -- previous versions contained a buffer overflow which (on Slackware anyway) could allow someone to gain group tty. It's not clear if any real damage can be done with that, but I've upgraded to the fixed splitvt, and removed the setgid tty from it as well. It's not the first splitvt overflow, but it's the last. Also, we've had many requests to update "file", but believe we are providing a tested stable release with many additions to /etc/magic, and the newer versions we've tried have done some unexpected things that we didn't like. The latest file sources (file-3.34) that we were evaluating remain in sources/a/bin if you'd like to try them. a1/kbd.tgz: Upgraded to kbd-1.05. a1/ossllibs.tgz: shared libraries relinked to change the soname from libssl.so.0.9.6 and libcrypto.so.0.9.6 to libssl.so.0 and libcrypto.so.0 (like previous releases of OpenSSL). a1/txtutils.tgz: Added symlinks for /usr/bin/cut and /usr/bin/head. a1/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.11a. Upgraded to hostname from net-tools-1.59. ap1/joe.tgz: Upgraded to joe-2.9.5. (* Security fix *) Older versions of joe look for a config file (.joerc) in the current directory. This could be exploited to run arbitrary programs as the user running joe, for instance, someone could create /tmp/.joerc and hope that root would start joe in /tmp. ap1/screen.tgz: Added GNU screen-3.9.8. Note that screen must be installed setuid in order to modify /var/run/utmp so that sessions will appear in 'w' output and features like 'talk' will work. However, we do _not_ install it setuid root because we don't believe it to be secure. If this is not an issue for you, you might wish to change this setting locally. n1/apache.tgz: Comment out PHP and SSL modules in default config. n1/mod_php.tgz: Fixed config file path. n1/openssh.tgz: Recompiled against fixed OpenSSL libraries. n1/openssl.tgz: shared libraries relinked to change the soname from libssl.so.0.9.6 and libcrypto.so.0.9.6 to libssl.so.0 and libcrypto.so.0 (like previous releases of OpenSSL). n1/procmail.tgz: Upgraded to procmail-3.15.1. n1/sendmail.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.11.3. n1/smailcfg.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.11.3. xap1/netscape.tgz: Upgraded to communicator-v477.x86-unknown-linux2.2. ---------------------------- Sun Apr 8 15:40:35 PDT 2001 a1/ossllibs.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6a. gtk1/eterm.tgz: Switched to eterm-0.8.10. (we had mistakenly used a development version before) n1/ntp4.tgz: Upgraded to ntp-4.0.99k23. (* Security fix *) This package replaces the xntp.tgz package (which contained xntp3-5.93e). The older version (and all versions prior to ntp-4.0.99k23, which was released yesterday) contain a buffer overflow bug which could lead to a root compromise on sites offering ntp service. All sites running xntp from Slackware 7.1 should upgrade to this package and/or ensure that their /etc/ntp.conf does not allow connections from untrusted hosts. To deny public access to your time daemon (not a bad idea anyway if you're only running ntp to keep your own clock updated) use this in /etc/ntp.conf: # Don't serve time or stats to anyone else restrict default ignore n1/openssh.tgz: Recompiled against openssl-0.9.6a. Openssh appears to be picky about matching the version of openssl it was compiled against, so whenever you upgrade openssl, also upgrade (or recompile) openssh. n1/openssl.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.6a. There were some security enhancements mentioned on BugTraq, so it's probably wise to upgrade both openssh.tgz and openssl.tgz. ---------------------------- Fri Apr 6 15:33:00 PDT 2001 a1/devs.tgz: Added additional /dev/md* devices. a1/elflibs.tgz: Recompiled libtiff. ap1/lvm.tgz: Added lvm_0.9.1_beta6 (a 2.4.x kernel is needed for this). ap1/raidtool.tgz: Upgraded to raidtools-19990824-0.90. d1/libtiff.tgz: Recompiled linking with libz. ---------------------------- Fri Apr 6 00:20:14 PDT 2001 tcl1/expect.tgz: Fixed library symlinks. ---------------------------- Thu Apr 5 13:46:23 PDT 2001 a1/sh_utils.tgz: Java (and presumably other things) expect all of these tools to be in /usr/bin, so we have added symlinks in /usr/bin to these utilities in /bin: date, echo, false, pwd, sleep, stty, true, and uname. ap1/ksh93.tgz: Upgraded AT&T Korn Shell 93 (2001-01-01.0000). ap1/workbone.tgz: Upgraded to workbone_2.40-2. gtk1/xchat.tgz: Upgraded to xchat-1.6.4. n1/ftchmail.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-5.8.0. n1/iptables.tgz: Upgraded to iptables-1.2.1a. n1/rdist.tgz: Upgraded to rdist-6.1.5. n1/wget.tgz: Upgraded to wget-1.6. tcl1/expect.tgz: Upgraded to expect-5.32.1. xap1/imagick.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-5.2.9. xap1/x3270.tgz: Upgraded to x3270-3.1.1.9. xap1/xfract.tgz: Upgraded to xfractint-3.10. xap1/xpdf.tgz: Upgraded to xpdf-0.92. ---------------------------- Mon Apr 2 18:14:30 PDT 2001 d1/gettext.tgz: Upgraded to gettext-0.10.36. Removed old epic4 from /contrib. ---------------------------- Mon Apr 2 15:30:09 PDT 2001 contrib/java/: Added Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition, Version 1.3.0_02. Thanks to Sun Microsystems for allowing us to include this with Slackware. ---------------------------- Sun Apr 1 18:14:08 PDT 2001 rootdsks/text.gz: Put /etc/makedevs.sh in the boot script. (this was missing before, so so hard drive partitions in /dev weren't created) gtk1/gnumeric.tgz: Propped up. n1/epic4.tgz: Added epic4-1.0. (As suggested by Frédéric) ---------------------------- Sat Mar 31 17:12:59 PST 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19. rootdsks/color.gz, umsdos.gz, text.gz: Version number updates. Removed floppy install option from color.gz and umsdos.gz disks. (We do not plan to split the A and N series this time) Remove deprecated "slaktest" support. rootdsks/network.dsk: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 kernel modules. rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.25. a1/elflibs.tgz: Upgraded libvga, libvgagl. Added libgmp. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Enhancements to installpkg/removepkg suggested by Jan Rafaj. Things like this will now work: installpkg gcc gcc_g77 gcc_objc (where the current directory contains gcc.tgz, gcc_g77.tgz, gcc_objc.tgz) removepkg *.tgz a1/ide.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 kernel for IDE. a1/modules.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 kernel modules. Merged in modules from (now deprecated) packages: fsmods, scsimods, sndmods, netmods. a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.4.5. a1/pcmcia.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.25. a1/scsi.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 kernel for IDE/SCSI. ap1/mysql.tgz: Add symlinks in /usr/lib for the libmysql* shared libraries. d1/egcs.tgz: Remove broken C++ support and utils duplicated by the gcc package. Add a note to the install info that egcs is only recommended for compiling the kernel. d1/egcs_g77.tgz: Removed. d1/egcsobjc.tgz: Removed. d1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 include files. d1/svgalib.tgz: Upgraded to svgalib-1.4.2. k1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 include files. k1/lx2219.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.19 source code. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Bugfixes in the netconfig scripts. Add kdi-lt.tgz to scripts in kde1/. ---------------------------- Thu Mar 29 17:57:01 PST 2001 n1/openssh.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-2.5.2p2. (* Security fix *) Security related changes: Improved countermeasure against "Passive Analysis of SSH (Secure Shell) Traffic" http://openwall.com/advisories/OW-003-ssh-traffic-analysis.txt The countermeasures introduced in earlier OpenSSH-2.5.x versions caused interoperability problems with some other implementations. Improved countermeasure against "SSH protocol 1.5 session key recovery vulnerability" http://www.core-sdi.com/advisories/ssh1_sessionkey_recovery.htm ---------------------------- Thu Mar 29 13:05:49 PST 2001 a1/hdsetup.tgz: xfree86setup should work now during installation.

KDE I18N packages upgraded to 2.1.1: kde1/kdi-ca.tgz, kde1/kdi-cs.tgz, kde1/kdi-da.tgz, kde1/kdi-de.tgz, kde1/kdi-el.tgz, kde1/kdi-eo.tgz, kde1/kdi-es.tgz, kde1/kdi-et.tgz, kde1/kdi-fi.tgz, kde1/kdi-fr.tgz, kde1/kdi-he.tgz, kde1/kdi-hu.tgz, kde1/kdi-is.tgz, kde1/kdi-it.tgz, kde1/kdi-ja.tgz, kde1/kdi-ko.tgz, kde1/kdi-lt.tgz, kde1/kdi-nl.tgz, kde1/kdi-no.tgz, kde1/kdi-nony.tgz, kde1/kdi-pl.tgz, kde1/kdi-pt.tgz, kde1/kdi-ptbr.tgz, kde1/kdi-ro.tgz, kde1/kdi-ru.tgz, kde1/kdi-sk.tgz, kde1/kdi-sl.tgz, kde1/kdi-sr.tgz, kde1/kdi-sv.tgz, kde1/kdi-tr.tgz, kde1/kdi-uk.tgz, kde1/kdi-zhcn.tgz, kde1/kdi-zhtw.tgz. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 28 14:05:03 PST 2001 ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.36. (* Security fix *) Details may be found on www.securityfocus.com. n1/tcpip2.tgz: Fixed build script for dhcpcd and recompiled. kde1/htdig.tgz: New symlink for KDevelop: /opt/www/htdig/bin/htsearch -> ../../cgi-bin/htsearch ---------------------------- Mon Mar 26 14:52:51 PST 2001 n1/apache.tgz: The Apache package has been restructured: - Upgraded to Apache 1.3.19 - The /usr prefix is used now instead of /var/lib/apache - Configuration files are located in /etc/apache - Log files are located in /var/log/apache - DSO modules are in /usr/libexec and header files used when building DSO modules are located in /usr/include/apache. The /usr/sbin/apxs script is built to provide the correct build information to an Apache module. - In addition to the above changes, the Extended API from mod_ssl has been included in the base Apache build. This allows for, among other things, the building of mod_ssl outside of the Apache tree. - mm-1.1.3, a shared memory library, has been added to the package and linked in with Apache. - Added the /usr/sbin/apacheconfig script for configuring basic Apache and module settings. n1/mod_php.tgz: Added PHP 4.0.4pl1, a server-side scripting language for Apache. n1/mod_ssl.tgz: Added mod_ssl 2.8.1-1.3.19, the Secure Sockets Layer module for the Apache web server. Users will need to generate their own site certificates and certificate authority before the https server will work, run "apacheconfig" to configure this on your system. The SSL configuration settings for this module are in /etc/apache, with the mod_ssl.conf file being the master control file for mod_ssl. Thanks to David for working his a** off on this stuff. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 25 13:59:42 PST 2001 a1/devs.tgz: Added several new devices: /dev/agpgart, /dev/aio, /dev/arpd, /dev/atomicps, /dev/cfs0, /dev/cpu, /dev/cpu/*, /dev/cpu/*/cpuid, /dev/cpu/*/msr, /dev/cpu/microcode, /dev/crash, /dev/cuub?, /dev/cuusb?, /dev/fwmonitor, /dev/intel_rng, /dev/ipauth, /dev/ipl, /dev/ipnat, /dev/ipstate, /dev/jsflash, /dev/kbd, /dev/mga_vid, /dev/msr, /dev/mtd?, /dev/net/tun, /dev/nvram, /dev/pciconf, /dev/ppp, /dev/profile, /dev/profile*, /dev/raw, /dev/raw?, /dev/route, /dev/sexec, /dev/shm, /dev/speaker, /dev/tap?, /dev/trace, /dev/trace*, /dev/ttyUB?, /dev/ttyUSB?, /dev/usb/ez?, /dev/usb/lp?, /dev/usb/mouse?, /dev/usb/rio500, /dev/usb/scanner?, /dev/userdma, /dev/vmmon, /dev/xsvc, /dev/yamm. a1/floppy.tgz: Upgraded to fdutils-5.4-20010112.

Recompiled against current libraries. Remove ttysnoop example from /etc/inetd.conf. n1/tcpip2.tgz: Upgraded to autofs-3.1.7. Upgraded to dhcpcd-1.3.19-pl8. Upgraded to ncftp-3.0.2 (adds large file support). Removed ttysnoop (this no longer works, or even compiles). Split out YP programs to be placed in a separate package. n1/yptools.tgz: New package containing the NIS utilities that were formerly part of tcpip2.tgz. Upgraded to yp-tools-2.5. Upgraded to ypserv-1.3.12. Upgraded to ypbind-mt-1.8. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 21 03:50:58 PST 2001 ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.35. Moved mysql socket to /var/run/mysql/ directory. ---------------------------- Tue Mar 20 19:31:29 PST 2001 kde1/qt2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-2.3.0. x1/xf86doc.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xf86html.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xf86prog.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xf86ps.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xfree86.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xnest.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xprt.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. x1/xvfb.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86-4.0.3. ---------------------------- Mon Mar 19 10:04:56 PST 2001 gtk1/wmaker.tgz: Added I18N support. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 18 20:04:47 PST 2001 a1/cxxlibs.tgz: Added libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so. d1/gcc.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.3. d1/gcc_g77.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.3. d1/gcc_objc.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.3. d1/gdb.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/gcc-2.95.3-java-chill/gcc_java.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.3. contrib/gcc-2.95.3-java-chill/gccchill.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.3. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 14 12:12:12 PST 2001 ap1/mysql.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.34. ---------------------------- Tue Mar 13 21:51:37 PST 2001 ap1/mysql.tgz: Added mysql-3.23.33. d1/perl.tgz: Rebuilt Perl and added the following module packages: libnet, TermReadKey, Getopt-Mixed, and MD5. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 11 13:05:10 PST 2001 gtk1/guile.tgz: Fixed.

(* Security fix *) Midnight Commander versions 4.5.40 through 4.5.51 have an input validation error that can allow malicious users to embed commands in directory names after certain byte values. The commands are executed when a user opens that directory through Midnight Commander. The exploit can give additional priviledges to the malicious user. More information is available at the Security Focus web site: http://www.securityfocus.com/vdb/?id=2016 Security Focus states, "Currently the SecurityFocus staff are not aware of any exploits for this issue." Nonetheless, it's worth upgrading to the new packages. gtk1/audiofil.tgz: Upgraded to audiofile-0.2.1. gtk1/bugbuddy.tgz: Upgraded to bug-buddy-1.2. gtk1/control.tgz: Upgraded to control-center-1.2.4. gtk1/ee.tgz: Upgraded to ee-0.3.12. gtk1/enlight.tgz: Upgraded to enlightenment-0.16.5. gtk1/esound.tgz: Upgraded to esound-0.2.22. (* Security fix *) A race condition at startup in earlier versions of esound allows a local attacker to make arbitrary system files world-writable. gtk1/eterm.tgz: Upgraded to Eterm-0.9. gtk1/freetype.tgz: Recompiled. (Enlightenment isn't ready for freetype2 yet) gtk1/gdkpixbf.tgz: Upgraded to gdk-pixbuf-0.9.0. gtk1/gdm.tgz: Recompiled. gtk1/gedit.tgz: Recompiled. gtk1/gftp.tgz: Upgraded to gftp-2.0.7b. gtk1/ggv.tgz: Upgraded to ggv-1.0-beta2. gtk1/gimp.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-1.2.1. gtk1/gladedev.tgz: Upgraded to glade-0.6.0. gtk1/gmc.tgz: Upgraded to mc-4.5.51.

(As always, _great_ job KDE team! :) kde1/kadmin.tgz: Upgraded to kdeadmin-2.1. kde1/kdebase.tgz: Upgraded to kdebase-2.1. kde1/kdegames.tgz: Upgraded to kdegames-2.1. kde1/kdelibs.tgz: Upgraded to kdelibs-2.1. kde1/kdepim.tgz: Upgraded to kdepim-2.1. kde1/kdesdk.tgz: Added kdesdk-2.1. kde1/kdetoys.tgz: Upgraded to kdetoys-2.1. kde1/kdeutils.tgz: Upgraded to kdeutils-2.1. kde1/kdevelop.tgz: Added kdevelop-1.4. kde1/kdi-ca.tgz: Added KDE Catalan language support. kde1/kdi-cs.tgz: Added KDE Czech language support. kde1/kdi-da.tgz: Added KDE Danish language support. kde1/kdi-de.tgz: Added KDE German language support. kde1/kdi-el.tgz: Added KDE Greek language support. kde1/kdi-eo.tgz: Added KDE Esperanto language support. kde1/kdi-es.tgz: Added KDE Spanish language support. kde1/kdi-et.tgz: Added KDE Estonian language support. kde1/kdi-fi.tgz: Added KDE Finnish language support. kde1/kdi-fr.tgz: Added KDE French language support. kde1/kdi-he.tgz: Added KDE Hebrew language support. kde1/kdi-hu.tgz: Added KDE Hungarian language support. kde1/kdi-is.tgz: Added KDE Icelandic language support. kde1/kdi-it.tgz: Added KDE Italian language support. kde1/kdi-ja.tgz: Added KDE Japanese language support. kde1/kdi-ko.tgz: Added KDE Korean language support. kde1/kdi-nl.tgz: Added KDE Dutch language support. kde1/kdi-no.tgz: Added KDE Norwegian (Bokmaal) language support. kde1/kdi-nony.tgz: Added KDE Norwegian (Nynorsk) language support. kde1/kdi-pl.tgz: Added KDE Polish language support. kde1/kdi-pt.tgz: Added KDE Portuguese language support. kde1/kdi-ptbr.tgz: Added KDE Brazil Portuguese language support. kde1/kdi-ro.tgz: Added KDE Romanian language support. kde1/kdi-ru.tgz: Added KDE Russian language support. kde1/kdi-sk.tgz: Added KDE Slovak language support. kde1/kdi-sl.tgz: Added KDE Slovenian language support. kde1/kdi-sr.tgz: Added KDE Serbian language support. kde1/kdi-sv.tgz: Added KDE Swedish language support. kde1/kdi-tr.tgz: Added KDE Turkish language support. kde1/kdi-uk.tgz: Added KDE Ukrainian language support. kde1/kdi-zhcn.tgz: Added KDE Simplified Chinese language support. kde1/kdi-zhtw.tgz: Added KDE Chinese language support. kde1/kdoc.tgz: Upgraded to kdoc-2.1. kde1/kgraphic.tgz: Upgraded to kdegraphics-2.1. kde1/kmedia.tgz: Upgraded to kdemultimedia-2.1. kde1/knetwork.tgz: Upgraded to kdenetwork-2.1. kde1/ksupport.tgz: Upgraded to kdesupport-2.1. ap1/rpm.tgz: Switched to rpm-4.0. 73.5% bigger. ---------------------------- Tue Feb 27 15:31:05 PST 2001 n1/imapd.tgz: No, the package wasn't changed. But, there's an update regarding the supposed imapd overflow. It was reported to us that an exploit existed for the version of imapd previously used by Slackware, but after obtaining a copy of the exploit from this site: http://packetstorm.securify.com/0102-exploits/imapd_exploit.c ...we found it to be completely ineffective. Still, it never hurts to keep daemons that provide network services as up-to-date as possible, so if you're running imapd you should consider upgrading. ---------------------------- Mon Feb 26 18:16:17 PST 2001 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Bugfixes and more informative closing dialog in xfree86setup. n1/imapd.tgz: Upgraded to IMAP4rev1 2000.287 from pine4.33. (* Security fix *) A remote exploit exists for the previously included version of imapd, so all sites running imapd are urged to upgrade to the new version immediately. Note that imapd has been installed to run by default in previous versions of Slackware, including 7.1. n1/pine.tgz: Upgraded to pine4.33. n1/proftpd.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.0. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Edit /etc/inetd.conf to not allow access to POP or IMAP by default. If people want to run a mail server, they can edit /etc/inetd.conf to open these services up. Many upgrades and additions in the /contrib directory: contrib/afterstep-1.8.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/blackbox-0.61.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/cmatrix-1.1b-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/epic4-0.9.15-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/figlet-2.2-i386-1.tgz: Added a program that makes large ASCII letters out of ordinary text. contrib/icewm-1.0.6-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/libsafe-1.3-i386-1.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/libsdl-1.1.8-i386-1.tgz: Added Simple DirectMedia Layer. contrib/openmotif2.1.30/openmotif-2.1.30-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/parted-1.4.9-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/pinfo-0.6.0-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/qcam-0.91j-i386-1.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/rexima-1.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/rio-1.07m-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/rp_pppoe-2.8-i386-1.tgz: Added PPPoE client and server. contrib/socket-1.1-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded. contrib/up-0.3-i386-1.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/xfstt-1.1-i386-1.tgz: Recompiled. contrib/xmps-0.2.0-i386-1.tgz: Added X Movie Player System. ---------------------------- Mon Feb 26 00:12:37 PST 2001 a1/etc.tgz: Added MySQL user/group (uid 27, gid 27). Added ftp group (gid 50). a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patched cpkgtool and pkgtool.tty for safer removal of packages when some of the files/directories have been previously removed manually. Thanks to Ivan Kalvatchev for suggesting a fix. Edited xfree86setup to ask if you want to configure instead of just going ahead with it. n1/proftpd.tgz: Added proftpd-1.2.0rc3-CVS-20010222 (final test release). n1/tcpip.tgz: Many patches to rebuild under glibc-2.2.2. Edited inetd.conf to use proftpd instead of wu-ftpd. pasture/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/wuftpd.tgz: wu-ftpd-2.6.1 retired to /pasture. ---------------------------- Sun Feb 25 00:27:02 PST 2001 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Added xfree86setup (a simple X configuration script). a1/loadlin.tgz: Upgraded to loadlin-1.6b. ap1/cdutils.tgz: Recompiled against linux-2.2.18 headers (this allows cdrecord to work with either the 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernel). n1/bitchx.tgz: Added BitchX-1.0c18. ---------------------------- Sat Feb 24 16:23:44 PST 2001 ...I hate to do this on a weekend, but: ap1/sudo.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.3p6. (* Security fix *) Fixes buffer overflow hole reported on BugTraq. ---------------------------- Fri Feb 23 20:14:10 PST 2001 a1/aaa_base.tgz: Add /usr/X11R6/include/X11 directory. kde1/qt2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-2.2.4. x1/xf86prog.tgz: Rebuilt from updated CVS XFree86 4_0_2-branch. x1/xfree86.tgz: Rebuilt from updated CVS XFree86 4_0_2-branch. Added DRI modules for Voodoo3 and Voodoo4/5. x1/xnest.tgz: Rebuilt from updated CVS XFree86 4_0_2-branch. x1/xprt.tgz: Rebuilt from updated CVS XFree86 4_0_2-branch. x1/xvfb.tgz: Rebuilt from updated CVS XFree86 4_0_2-branch. ---------------------------- Tue Feb 20 16:21:56 PST 2001 a1/gpm.tgz: Remove redundant mouse setup menu. ---------------------------- Tue Feb 20 14:10:32 PST 2001 d1/perl.tgz: Recompiled without -lndbm to fix DB_File module. Thanks to Toshikazu Yoshikawa for posting a problem report and fix. n1/openssh.tgz: Upgraded to openssh-2.5.1p1. ---------------------------- Mon Feb 19 16:09:59 PST 2001 a1/etc.tgz: Fixed /usr/bin/filesize to handle large files. a1/glibcso.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2.2. a1/gpm.tgz: Move PS/2 mouse to top of the menu list. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Obsolete XD series support removed. Fixed --no-paranoia in upgradepkg (but you still shouldn't use it :) a1/ldso.tgz: Refreshed initial /etc/ld.so.cache. a1/zoneinfo.tgz: Updated to glibc-2.2.2 timezone database (from tzdata2000h). d1/glibc.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2.2. d1/glocale.tgz: Upgraded to locale files from glibc-2.2.2. n1/rsync.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.4.6. Added large file support. XFree86-3.3.6 and source has been moved into /pasture, as has Mesa, which is now included with (and installed by) the XFree86-4.0.2 source tree. Speaking of which, XFree86-4.0.2 is now merged into slakware/x1: x1/xf86doc.tgz: Docs for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xf86html.tgz: HTML docs for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xf86jdoc.tgz: Japanese docs for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xf86prog.tgz: XFree86-4.0.2 development libs/includes/manpages. x1/xf86ps.tgz: PostScript docs for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfnts.tgz: Fonts for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfnts100.tgz: 100dpi fonts for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfntscal.tgz: Scalable fonts for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfntscyr.tgz: Cyrillic fonts for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfntslt2.tgz: Latin-2 (ISO8859-2) fonts for XFree86-4.0.2. x1/xfree86.tgz: Main XFree86-4.0.2 package. x1/xnest.tgz: Experimental nested X server. x1/xprt.tgz: Print-only X server. x1/xvfb.tgz: Experimental virtual framebuffer X server. rootdsks/color.gz, umsdos.gz, text.gz: Obsolete XD series support removed. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Obsolete XD series support removed. contrib/XFree86-4.0.1/: removed. ---------------------------- Sun Feb 18 00:38:26 PST 2001 a1/aaa_base.tgz: Fix an error message (about var/X11R6/lib) when installing a new system. Relocate X11 fonts directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. Now that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 is not a symlink to /var/X11R6/lib/, there's no good reason to go against the prevailing standard. Remove the /var/X11R6/bin directory. a1/floppy.tgz: Fix xdfformat.1.gz manpage symlink. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patched xwmconfig to not run unless there are actually some xinitrc files in /etc/X11/xinit. gtk1/freefont.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. x1/xf100.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. x1/xfcyr.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. x1/xfnon.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. x1/xfscl.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. xap1/x3270.tgz: Move fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. ---------------------------- Fri Feb 16 01:19:21 PST 2001 a1/aaa_base.tgz: Make several symlinks from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 to /etc/X11 even if /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 begins as an empty directory. ap1/mt_st.tgz: Upgraded to mt-st-0.6. Added /pasture directory. A nice place for Slackware packages to retire in their old age. :) ---------------------------- Wed Feb 14 10:15:02 PST 2001 a1/aaa_base.tgz: Added /usr/share/doc -> ../doc symlink. *** follow default XFree86 directory layout *** Removed /var/X11R6/lib directory. Added /var/X11R6/lib symlink. Added /etc/X11 directory. Eliminate /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 symlink. Added /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory. Added /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts symlink. Move these symlinks here from xbin.tgz, since they aren't installed by XFree86 by default: /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/X11, /usr/include/X11, /usr/X11. NOTE: One of the things aaa_base will do this time around is to transform the X11R6 layout on a Slackware Linux machine from the old structure to the more commonly used (and now XFree86 default on Linux) structure. The old Slackware structure (used since the original FSSTND days) featured a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 to a /var/X11R6/lib directory. Now there are actual /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and /etc/X11 directories, and many symlinks from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 into /etc/X11. The purpose of this "grand reorganization" is to fall in line with the way XFree86 installs itself (which is now Linux FHS compliant), and to make XFree86 easier to upgrade from source. Make sure you upgrade this package before upgrading to any other X related packages in this batch of updates. a1/devs.tgz: .tar.gz'ed Mylex devices in /dev/rd (these are used by few people but were using 2000+ inodes). Easy enough to untar if you need them. Added a few new device nodes. Changed dialout devices (ttyS*) to gid uucp. a1/etc.tgz: Alex Bukhansky wins the "find the oldest obvious bug" contest by pointing out that line 13 of /etc/termcap (now /etc/termcap-Linux) is missing a comment. a1/floppy.tgz: Recompiled with the mtools-3.9.7-20001213 patch. (accidentally left out of the previous build script) a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patch xwmconfig to move xinitrc to /etc/X11/xinit/. Patch upgradepkg to "double install" packages by default. Note that you might get an error if you use upgradepkg to update itself, but the installed package will be ok. I wouldn't give upgradegpkg a long list of things to upgrade that includes hdsetup.tgz, though, or it will stop when it reaches that package. a1/minicom.tgz: Upgraded to minicom-1.83.1. Also, /usr/bin/minicom is no longer setgid uucp. Instead, the dialout devices may only be accessed by members of the uucp group, so add users to that group if they are trusted to use the modem. ap1/groff.tgz: Moved app-defaults to /etc/X11/. ap1/sudo.tgz: Moved stray symlink into install script. kde1/kdebase.tgz: Moved /var/X11R6/lib/ to /etc/X11/. n1/mutt.tgz: Mutt requires docs to be in /usr/doc/mutt. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Upgraded to inetd-OpenBSD-1.79. n1/uucp.tgz: Make several binaries setuid uucp in addition to setgid uucp. t1/transfig.tgz: Upgraded to transfig.3.2.3c. t1/xfig.tgz: Upgraded to xfig.3.2.3c. x1/xcfg.tgz: Relocate from /var/X11R6/lib to /etc/X11. Edit Xsession to run /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. x1/xdoc.tgz: Moved from /var/X11R6/lib/doc to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc. x1/xlib.tgz: Moved from /var/X11R6/lib to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. x1/xfsrv.tgz: Moved config dir from /var/X11R6/lib/fs to /etc/X11/fs. x1/xhtml.tgz: Moved docs into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html. x1/xjdoc.tgz: Moved docs into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Japanese. x1/xprog.tgz: Since LessTif no longer requires modification to Motif.tmpl or Motif.rules, revert to the versions of those provided by XFree86, and unpatch Imake.tmpl so that they aren't included. In addition, if there's already a host.def file (which LessTif now uses), don't overwrite it with the empty file included with XFree86. x1/xps.tgz: Moved docs into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/PostScript. x1/xset.tgz: Moved support files into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Setup. x1/lesstif.tgz: Upgraded to lesstif-0.92.6. Don't overwrite host.def -- instead modify the existing file. x1/xbin.tgz: Remove symlinks: /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/X11, /usr/include/X11, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, /var/X11R6/lib/fonts. These are now in aaa_base.tgz. Move files in /var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults to /etc/X11/app-defaults. Remove rxvt and rclock, and man pages, which belong in their own package. xap1/fvwm2.tgz: Recompile to move lib directory to /etc/X11/fvwm2/. Moved package here from x1/. xap1/fvwm95.tgz: Upgraded to fvwm95-2.0.43ba-15. Moved files into /etc/X11/fvwm95, /etc/X11/xinit, and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. xap1/fvwmicns.tgz: Moved package here from x1/. xap1/gv.tgz: Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. xap1/xlock.tgz: Upgraded to xlockmore-5.00. Adds these new modes: fire, pentominoes, roll, sballs, t3d, tik_tak, and xcl. Moved package here from x1/. xap1/rxvt.tgz: Added separate rxvt package, upgrade to rxvt-2.6.3. xap1/seyon.tgz: Upgraded to seyon-2.20c. Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. xap1/x3270.tgz: Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. xap1/xfm.tgz: Moved support files into /etc/X11/xfm. xap1/xpaint.tgz: Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. xap1/xxgdb.tgz: Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. xv1/xvol32.tgz: Moved xinitrc.openwin to /etc/X11/xinit. Moved Xinitrc into /usr/openwin/lib, removed the symlink, and removed /var/openwin. Moved config files to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config. The following things are in GTK, which will be getting a proper refresh shortly. Meanwhile, we'll align these things with the new standard: gtk1/econf.tgz: Obsolete. Removed. gtk1/enlight.tgz: Moved xinitrc.e to /etc/X11/xinit. gtk1/gdm.tgz: Moved configuration files into /etc/X11/gdm. gtk1/gnomcore.tgz: Moved xinitrc.gnome to /etc/X11/xinit. gtk1/sawfish.tgz: Moved xinitrc.sawfish to /etc/X11/xinit. gtk1/wmaker.tgz: Moved xinitrc.wmaker to /etc/X11/xinit. gtk1/xscrsave.tgz: Moved app-defaults into /etc/X11/app-defaults. ---------------------------- Sun Feb 4 16:01:39 PST 2001 contrib/3dfx/: Refreshed the 3Dfx package archive. Latest CVS snapshots of Glide 2.x and 3.x, added Voodoo 4/5 Glide and Glide-DRI packages, reorganized the packages (there's now a Glide package for each card), new Mesa build against latest Glide 2.x CVS snapshot, removed the xtdfx.tgz package (obsolete), removed the fxt1.tgz package (obsolete). Please see the README and README.cards files in the /contrib/3dfx directory for more information. contrib/ham/: Added updates from Arno Verhoeven: xconvers-0.5, soundmodem-0.4, linkt-0.6.99-001106, and xfbb-7.03a. Also, httptunnel-2.90.tgz was removed (obsolete). a1/aaa_base.tgz: Added /usr/share/man -> ../man symlink. a1/bzip2.tgz: Upgraded to bzip2-1.0.1, large file support. a1/elflibs.tgz: Upgraded to libpng.so.2.1.0.9, libbz2.so.1.0.1, libtiff.so.3.5.5, libhistory.so.4.1, libreadline.so.4.1, libgdbm.so.2.0.0 (gdbm-1.8.0), libslang.so.1.4.3. a1/floppy.tgz: Upgraded to fdutils-5.4 + fdutils-5.4-20010112.diff, and mtools-3.9.7 + mtools-3.9.7-20001213. a1/less.tgz: Upgraded to less-358. a1/lilo.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-21.6.1. a1/reiserfs.tgz: Added reiserfs_utils-3.6.25-fsck-3.x.0b. a1/sh_utils.tgz: Fixed date's --utc option (thanks to Greg Roelofs for the patch), recompiled everything to support large files. a1/tcsh.tgz: Upgraded to tcsh-6.10. a1/umsprogs.tgz: Upgraded to umsdos_progs-1.13. a1/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.10s. ap1/bc.tgz: Upgraded to GNU bc-1.06. ap1/cdutils.tgz: Upgraded to cdrecord-1.9. ap1/groff.tgz: Upgraded to GNU groff-1.16.1. ap1/jed.tgz: Upgraded to jed-B0.99-12. ap1/manpages.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.34. ap1/sc.tgz: Upgraded to sc-7.7. ap1/sox.tgz: Upgraded to sox-12.17.1. ap1/sudo.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.3p5. d1/binutils.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.10.1.0.4. d1/gdbm.tgz: Upgraded to GNU gdbm-1.8.0. d1/gmake.tgz: Upgraded to GNU make-3.79.1. d1/libpng.tgz: Upgraded to libpng-1.0.9. d1/libtiff.tgz: Upgraded to tiff-v3.5.5. d1/perl.tgz: Recompiled to enable large file support. Upgraded to DBI-1.14. d1/pmake.tgz: Upgraded to pmake-2.1.34. d1/readline.tgz: Upgraded to GNU libreadline-4.1. d1/slang.tgz: Upgraded to slang-1.4.3. n1/apache.tgz: Upgraded to apache_1.3.17. n1/inn.tgz: Upgraded to inn-2.3.1. n1/tcpdump.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.6.1, libpcap-0.6.1. n1/tin.tgz: Upgraded to tin-1.4.4. ---------------------------- Fri Feb 2 17:46:03 PST 2001 Starting to support large (>2GB) files. Note that you need to run linux-2.4.0 or newer to use large file support. a1/fileutls.tgz: Compile /bin/ln as static, as glibc doesn't always rebuild reliably without this. Enable large file support. a1/glibcso.tgz: Recompiled glibc-2.2.1 under linux-2.4.1. (adds large file support) a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.4.2. a1/txtutils.tgz: Recompile to enable large file support. d1/cvs.tgz: Added cvs-1.11. d1/glibc.tgz: Recompiled glibc-2.2.1 under linux-2.4.1. (adds large file support) d1/glocale.tgz: Regenerated from glibc-2.2.1 sources. ---------------------------- Sun Jan 28 13:42:44 PST 2001 n1/bind.tgz: Upgraded to bind-8.2.3. (* Security fix *) ---------------------------- Fri Jan 26 01:03:56 PST 2001 d1/python.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.0. ---------------------------- Tue Jan 23 18:28:12 PST 2001 sgiboot/vmlinux: Recompiled adding Adaptec SCSI support. ---------------------------- Mon Jan 22 22:19:01 PST 2001 n1/iptables.tgz: Added iptables-1.2. n1/ppp.tgz: Upgraded to ppp-2.4.0. ---------------------------- Thu Jan 18 23:25:05 PST 2001 sgiboot/kernel-source/defkeymap.map: According to Greg, this line in defkeymap.map should also be commented out for the SGI's USB keyboard: # control alt keycode 111 = Boot sgiboot/vmlinux: Recompiled the SGI kernel with the patched keymap. ---------------------------- Thu Jan 18 22:10:07 PST 2001 ap1/a2ps.tgz: Added a2ps-4.13b and psutils-1.17. (converts most formats to PostScript -- useful for APSFILTER) ---------------------------- Wed Jan 17 22:07:47 PST 2001 a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.4.1. ap1/apsfilt.tgz: Apply official diff-6.0.0-09.01.2001.gz to fix samba remote printing. ---------------------------- Sun Jan 14 16:34:12 PST 2001 a1/glibcso.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2.1. a1/zoneinfo.tgz: Updated to glibc-2.2.1 timezone database (from tzdata2000h). d1/glibc.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2.1. d1/glocale.tgz: Upgraded to locale files from glibc-2.2.1. ---------------------------- Sat Jan 13 13:46:38 PST 2001 a1/sysvinit.tgz: Remove obsolete references to kerneld and -f flag to reboot/halt in rc.* scripts. ---------------------------- Thu Jan 11 22:52:49 PST 2001 .eltorito/eltorito.img: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18. bootdsks.12/: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18. bootdsks.144/: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18. kernels/: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18. sgiboot/vmlinux: Recompiled with defkeymap.map that fixes the backspace problem with the SGI USB keyboard. Fix sent in by Sir Ace ("Greg from Systems"). rootdsks/network.dsk: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.23. a1/fsmods.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. a1/ibcs2.tgz: Recompiled for linux-2.2.18. a1/ide.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel for IDE. a1/modules.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. a1/pcmcia.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.23. a1/scsi.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel for IDE/SCSI. a1/scsimods.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. a1/sndmods.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. d1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 include files. k1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 include files. k1/lx2218.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 source code. n1/netmods.tgz: Upgraded to linux-2.2.18 kernel modules. ---------------------------- Wed Jan 10 12:46:50 PST 2001 (* security fix *) glibc-2.2 contains a local vulnerability that affects all setuid root binaries. Any user on affected systems will be able to read any file on the system through a simple process: The user sets the RESOLV_HOST_CONF environment variable to the name of the file that they wish to read, then runs any setuid root program that makes use of that variable. The file is then written to stderr. a1/glibcso.tgz: Patched sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h to fix the problem with RESOLV_HOST_CONF, and also to add HOSTALIASES to the list. (this change is noted in glibc-CVS) d1/glibc.tgz: Patched sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h as above. ---------------------------- Mon Jan 8 02:02:47 PST 2001 a1/devs.tgz: Added /dev/input/ USB devices. Added /dev/oldusbmouse device (misc 10 32). a1/glibcso.tgz: Remove bash-specific code from install script. a1/gpm.tgz: Upgraded to gpm-1.19.3. a1/ossllibs.tgz: Added /etc/ssl/ lib directory. a1/sysvinit.tgz: Added /sbin/poweroff -> halt symlink. Patched /etc/rc.d/rc.6 to call poweroff instead of halt -p. Patched /etc/rc.d/rc.S and /etc/rc.d/rc.6 to not run /sbin/hwclock on SGI Visual Workstations with the Cobalt APIC. d1/egcs.tgz: Brought back egcs-1.1.2 as an alternate to gcc-2.95.2, primarily for use as a kernel compiler now that the kernel team recommends it for linux-2.4.0. For all other uses, gcc-2.95.2 is probably a better choice. d1/egcs_g77.tgz: Moved back to d1/ from contrib/egcs-1.1.2/. It's probably better to use gcc_g77.tgz than this package. d1/egcsobjc.tgz: Moved back to d1/ from contrib/egcs-1.1.2/. It's probably better to use gccobjc.tgz than this package. d1/glibc.tgz: Remove bash-specific code from install script. n1/openssh.tgz: Moved config directory to /etc/ssh/. n1/openssl.tgz: Moved ssl lib directory to /etc/ssl/. n1/tcpdump.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.5.2 and libpcap-0.5.2. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Upgraded to pidentd-3.0.12. Added routed.18.candidate.final.patch.gz from Jan Rafaj. Patched timed for glibc-2.2. sgiboot/: Added support for the SGI Visual Workstation 320 and 540. ---------------------------- Fri Jan 5 16:39:05 PST 2001 a1/devfsd.tgz: Added devfsd-v1.3.10. a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.4.0. ap1/apsfilt.tgz: Upgraded to apsfilter-6.0.0. ---------------------------- Wed Jan 3 22:19:50 PST 2001 ap1/ghostscr.tgz: Upgraded to gnu-gs-5.50. The /usr/bin/gs in this package is compiled, as usual, without X11 support so as not to require the X11 shared libraries. If you require X11 support (most people probably do) then install the gs_x11.tgz package after installing this one. Improved /tmp security with mkstemp(). Added support for the stp driver from gimp-print-4.0.4, additional Epson, HP, and Lexmark printer support merged in. ap1/gsfonts.tgz: Upgraded to gnu-gs-fonts-other-5.50.tar.gz and gnu-gs-fonts-std-5.50.tar.gz. gtk1/gimp.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-1.2.0 and gimp-data-extras-1.2.0. n1/procmail.tgz: Recompiled. n1/sendmail.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.11.2. n1/smailcfg.tgz: Upgraded to config files for sendmail-8.11.2. xap1/gs_x11.tgz: Upgraded to gnu-gs-5.50 with X11 driver support. ---------------------------- Mon Dec 18 17:00:34 PST 2000 a1/etc.tgz: Upgrade to Chris Lumens' ksh prompt: PS1='! ${PWD/#$HOME/~}$ ' Upgrade to BSD termcap 11.0.1. Swap /etc/nsswitch.conf parameters (it turns out the other way causes way more problems than it solves): -hosts: dns files +hosts: files dns -networks: dns files +networks: files dns a1/glibcso.tgz: Changed shared library install script to install as many shared libraries simultaneously as possible. This is because glibc seems to be getting more strict about the dependencies between the various shared libraries, and it doesn't always work to install and ldconfig them individually. d1/glibc.tgz: Changed install script as noted in a1/glibcso.tgz above. Added /usr/lib/libnss_db.a. n1/tcpip2.tgz: Swap /etc/nsswitch.conf parameters. ---------------------------- Fri Dec 15 12:26:55 PST 2000 n1/openssh.tgz: Fixed a small bug in /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd: sshd_restart() { - ssh_stop + sshd_stop sleep 1 - ssh_start + sshd_start } ---------------------------- Thu Dec 14 16:52:56 PST 2000 a1/etc.tgz: Fixed /etc/profile for ksh93 compatibility. (changed some " to ', added setting for VISUAL mode) a1/ldso.tgz: Updated default /etc/ld.so.cache with glibc-2.2 entries. This is recreated with each boot anyway, but the system must ship with an original version that's sufficient to get it that far. a1/ossllibs.tgz: Added OpenSSL shared library package. ap1/ksh93.tgz: Added AT&T Korn Shell 93 (2000-10-31.0000). kde1/kadmin.tgz: Upgraded to kdeadmin-2.0.1. kde1/kde-i18n.tgz: Upgraded to kde-i18n-2.0.1. kde1/kdebase.tgz: Upgraded to kdebase-2.0.1. kde1/kdegames.tgz: Upgraded to kdegames-2.0.1. kde1/kdelibs.tgz: Upgraded to kdelibs-2.0.1. kde1/kdepim.tgz: Upgraded to kdepim-2.0.1. kde1/kdetoys.tgz: Upgraded to kdetoys-2.0.1. kde1/kdeutils.tgz: Upgraded to kdeutils-2.0.1. kde1/kdoc.tgz: Upgraded to kdoc-2.0.1b. kde1/kgraphic.tgz: Upgraded to kdegraphics-2.0.1. kde1/kmedia.tgz: Upgraded to kdemultimedia-2.0.1. kde1/knetwork.tgz: Upgraded to kdenetwork-2.0.1. kde1/koffice.tgz: Upgraded to koffice-2.0.1. kde1/ksupport.tgz: Upgraded to ksupport-2.0.1. kde1/qt2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-2.2.3. n1/imapd.tgz: Upgraded to IMAP4rev1 2000.284 from pine-4.31. n1/mutt.tgz: Added mutt-1.2.5i. n1/openssh.tgz: Added openssh-2.3.0p1. n1/openssl.tgz: Added openssl-0.9.6. Due to patent or license issues, there is no support for the following algorithms: MDC2, IDEA, RC5, MD2. n1/pine.tgz: Upgraded to pine-4.31. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Upgraded to pidentd-3.0.11, added idecrypt and ikeygen utilities. Linked pidentd with libcrypto. Disabled writing to identd.pid. Added commented out entries for KDE's talk to /etc/inetd.conf. Edited /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 to start /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd, if it is found. Edited rc.inet2 to use /usr/sbin/ndc to start named. (NOTE: If you want the new version of rc.inet2 installed, which is recommended, you'll have to remove the old version before using installpkg or upgradepkg) rootdsks/network.dsk: Fixed a problem where cards were found and activated for an NFS install, but no /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice was created so they weren't found after the reboot. ---------------------------- Thu Nov 30 18:00:11 PST 2000 a1/libdb123.tgz: Eliminated. (merged into glibcso.tgz) a1/elflibs.tgz: Replaced libltdl.so.0.1.1 with libltdl.so.0.1.2. a1/glibcso.tgz: Merged in Berkeley DB libraries. a1/sysvinit.tgz: Edited rc.S and rc.0/6 so that if a partition cannot be unmounted, try remounting it as read-only. This can prevent time wasted doing unneccessary e2fscks. Suggested by Ron Gage. ap1/man.tgz: Moved here from a1/man.tgz. (since the manpages and groff are in the AP series) ap1/vim.tgz: Upgraded to vim-5.7. d1/binutils.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.10.1.0.2. d1/bsd_db{1,2,3}.tgz: Eliminated. (merged into glibc.tgz) d1/glibc.tgz: Merged the BSD DB libraries back into the glibc package. A few comments here... I'd intended to keep the BSD DB packages seperate, but found that once /lib/libnss_db-2.2.so is compiled that things get trickier. In short, having libnss_db around without the libdb libraries will cause a whole lot of binaries to segfault, including many that aren't directly linked to either library. It seems much safer to bundle these all back together again to ensure that everything stays properly in sync. d1/glocale.tgz: Moved files from /usr/share/locale to /usr/lib/locale. For some reason glibc-2.2 wants part of the locale files under /usr/share/locale, and part under /usr/lib/locale. A symlink was considered, but it was decided to put them where glibc's "make install" wants them to go. gtk1/xvim.tgz: Upgraded to vim-5.7, linked with GTK+, and moved into the GTK series from the XAP series. n1/inn.tgz: Fixed missing spool directories. xap1/xvim.tgz: Moved to GTK series and linked with GTK+. ---------------------------- Fri Nov 24 16:40:21 PST 2000 a1/etc.tgz: The default /etc/nsswitch.conf may result in "Temporary failure in name resolution" errors. In /etc/nsswitch.conf, made these changes: -hosts: files dns +hosts: dns files -networks: files dns +networks: dns files This is the order shown in nsswitch.5, and under glibc-2.2 the previous order no longer works. IMPORTANT: To make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf is updated, remove the existing one before installing or upgrading etc.tgz! a1/glibcso.tgz: Added /lib/libnss_db-2.2.so. d1/glibc.tgz: Merged in nss_db-2.2. n1/tcpip2.tgz: Patched /etc/nsswitch.conf. ---------------------------- Thu Nov 23 22:48:45 PST 2000 d1/glocale.tgz: Added glibc-2.2 locale package. ---------------------------- Wed Nov 22 12:10:33 PST 2000 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Fixed /sbin/makebootdisk with Jan Rafaj's patch. d1/gcc.tgz: Patched /usr/include/g++-3/streambuf.h and /usr/include/g++-3/parsestream.h. Some definitions needed to be changed to match the new ones in glibc-2.2, otherwise C++ has problems. ---------------------------- Tue Nov 21 10:22:56 PST 2000 a1/glibcso.tgz: Move libSegFault.so from lib/incoming to lib, the directory it shipped in in the previous glibc.tgz package. This prevents upgradepkg from removing it in the second pass, and crashing the machine until it has been replaced. Sorry about that, and thanks for beta testing. Good thing we're not using apt-get. ;) d1/glibc.tgz: See above bug. kde1/qt2.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-2.2.2, compiled with -no-g++-exceptions. ---------------------------- Mon Nov 20 22:59:00 PST 2000 a1/elflibs.tgz: Upgraded to ncurses libraries from ncurses-5.2. a1/glibcso.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Added a patch to installpkg to handle long package names. Updated small /usr/share/terminfo database. Remove DES series support. Make KDE2 the default WM choice. a1/libdb123.tgz: Added Berkeley DB shared lib package. a1/zoneinfo.tgz: Updated from glibc-2.2 (tzdata2000g). ap1/cdutils.tgz: Upgraded to cdrdao-1.1.4. d1/binutils.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.10.0.33. d1/bsd_db1.tgz: Added Berkeley db.1.85 package. d1/bsd_db2.tgz: Added Berkeley db-2.4.14 package. d1/bsd_db3.tgz: Added Berkeley db-3.1.17 package. d1/gcc.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-2.95.2. d1/gcc_g77.tgz: Upgraded to Fortran-77 from gcc-2.95.2. d1/gcc_objc.tgz: Upgraded to Objective-C from gcc-2.95.2. d1/glibc.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.2. d1/ncurses.tgz: Upgraded to ncurses-5.2. (* Security fix *) des1/: crypt() merged into glibc-2.2: series obsolete; eliminated. gtk1/librep.tgz: Chmod 755 /usr/doc/librep-0.11.3/doc/. xap1/netscape.tgz: Upgraded to communicator-v476.x86-unknown-linux2.2. rootdsks/color.gz, umsdos.gz, text.gz: DES series support removed. .eltorito/eltorito.img: DES series support removed. ---------------------------- Sat Nov 11 13:28:50 PST 2000 n1/lynx.tgz: Some of the lynx documentation in /usr/lib/lynx/lynx_doc/ needed to be chowned from UID 10184 to UID 0. ---------------------------- Fri Nov 10 20:24:04 PST 2000 n1/bind.tgz: Upgraded to bind-8.2.2-P7. (* Security fix *) A bug in code intended to provide support for the transfer of compressed zone files can crash the name server, resulting in denial of service. More BIND security information can be found at: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind8.html n1/lynx.tgz: Recompiled with official 1a,1b,1c patches. Provided a patched to fix compiling under glibc-2.1.3. ---------------------------- Sun Nov 5 19:44:20 PST 2000 kde1/qt_2_21.tgz: Recompiled to not link with Mesa. This doesn't seem to be needed by anything, and causes problems for people using the NVidia OpenGL libraries. contrib/qt-with-opengl/qt221_gl.tgz: This is the old Mesa-linked version of Qt, in case anyone needs it. ---------------------------- Wed Nov 1 12:35:58 PST 2000 n1/imapd.tgz: Upgraded to IMAP4rev1 2000.283 from pine-4.30. n1/pine.tgz: Upgraded to pine-4.30. (* Security fix *) Pine (versions 4.21 and before) contain a buffer overflow vulnerability which allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the local client by the sending of a special-crafted email message. The overflow occurs during the periodic "new mail" checking of an open folder. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 30 17:57:55 PST 2000 slackware-current upgraded to KDE-2.0: kde1/htdig.tgz: htdig-3.1.5, the ht://Dig system for KDE help. kde1/kadmin.tgz: kdeadmin-2.0, KDE system administration and backup tools. kde1/kde-i18n.tgz: kde-i18n-2.0, internationalization support for KDE. kde1/kdebase.tgz: kdebase-2.0, core applications for the K Desktop Environment. kde1/kdegames.tgz: kdegames-2.0, games for the K Desktop Environment. kde1/kdelibs.tgz: kdelibs-2.0, system libraries required by KDE. kde1/kdepim.tgz: kdepim-2.0, kdepim is a collection of Personal Information Management (PIM) tools. kde1/kdetoys.tgz: kdetoys-2.0, some toys for use with KDE. kde1/kdeutils.tgz: kdeutils-2.0, utilities for the K Desktop Environment. kde1/kdoc.tgz: kdoc-2.0, documentation tools for the K Desktop Environment. kde1/kgraphic.tgz: kdegraphics-2.0, graphics programs for KDE. kde1/kmedia.tgz: kdemultimedia-2.0, multimedia applications for KDE. kde1/knetwork.tgz: kdenetwork-2.0, network related utilities for KDE. kde1/koffice.tgz: koffice-2.0, office applications for KDE. kde1/ksupport.tgz: ksupport-2.0, support libraries for KDE. kde1/qt_2_21.tgz: Qt-2.2.1. Removed KDE betas and qt-2.1.1 from /contrib. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 23 14:09:22 PDT 2000 x1/xlock.tgz: Upgraded to xlockmore-4.17.2. (* Security fix *) By providing a carefully crafted display variable to xlock, it is possible for a local attacker to gain root access. Anyone running xlock on a public machine should upgrade to this version of xlock (or disable xlock) immediately. ---------------------------- Fri Oct 20 18:55:01 PDT 2000 a1/util.tgz: Remove /usr/bin/tsort, as there's a better version included with GNU textutils (txtutils.tgz). Moved getopt support files into /usr/share/misc/getopt/. Added /usr/doc/util-linux-2.10o/README.getopt-1.1.0a. n1/ppp.tgz: Fixed stupid /tmp bug in ppp-off. This could allow a local user to corrupt system files. (* Security fix *) n1/tcpip1.tgz: Added /sbin/mii-tool. Added manpages: mii-tool.8, ethers.5. ---------------------------- Wed Oct 18 17:16:33 PDT 2000 a1/pcmcia.tgz: Rebuild without PnP BIOS option, which doesn't work on many older laptops. a1/zoneinfo.tgz: Patched setup.timeconfig bug when using UTC. n1/apache.tgz: Apparently the new version of Apache breaks RewriteMaps. This package update includes a patch from Tony Finch to fix the problem. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Add PageUp/PageDown support. Use 2 (not 1) in field 6 in /etc/fstab for non-root partitions. Added /dev/hd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g}, as these don't seem to show up as ATAPI CD-ROM drives in /proc/partitions on all machines, and in that case the device node would not be made by the init scripts. rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk: Retrofit using recompiled pcmcia modules and utilities. rootdsks/color.gz: Add PageUp/PageDown support. Use 2 (not 1) in field 6 in /etc/fstab for non-root partitions. Added /dev/hd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g}. rootdsks/umsdos.gz: Add PageUp/PageDown support. Added /dev/hd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g}. rootdsks/text.gz: Use 2 (not 1) in field 6 in /etc/fstab for non-root partitions. Added /dev/hd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g}. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 16 20:01:09 PDT 2000 a1/hdsetup.tgz: Switched to a new version of /sbin/installpkg. This removes old support for building packages (use makepkg for that), and adds /sbin/dialog infobox and menu modes. Fixed a symlink removal problem with removepkg. Added Mark Slagell's page up/page down patch for /bin/dialog. (THANKS!!) a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.3.18, and patched insmod to send warnings to stderr, not stdout. a1/pcmcia.tgz: Edited to /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia to suppress unneccessary warnings while probing for the correct PCIC module. a1/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.10o. (added /sbin/blockdev, /sbin/elvtune, /sbin/mkfs.bfs and man pages) Upgraded to /bin/hostname from net-tools-1.57. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Fix UID/GID values in /home/ftp/etc/* to match the ones in /etc. Upgraded to biff+comsat-0.17, bsd-finger-0.17, net-tools-1.57 (adding support for IPv6 and including the ipmaddr and iptunnel utilities), netkit-base-0.17, netkit-bootparamd-0.17, netkit-ftp-0.17, netkit-ntalk-0.17, netkit-routed-0.17, netkit-rsh-0.17, netkit-rusers-0.17, netkit-rwall-0.17, netkit-rwho-0.17, netkit-telnet-0.17, netkit-tftp-0.17, netkit-timed-0.17, and netwrite-0.17. n1/tcpip2.tgz: Upgraded to autofs-3.1.5, dhcp-2.0pl5, dhcpcd-1.3.19-pl2, and ipchains-1.3.10. ---------------------------- Sat Oct 14 20:03:51 PDT 2000 n1/apache.tgz: Upgraded to apache_1.3.14. (* Security fix *) It is recommended that sites using Apache upgrade to this version of the apache package as soon as possible. The following security problems are fixed with this version of Apache (from the Apache announcement): * A problem with the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, allowed access to any file on the web server under certain circumstances * The handling of Host: headers in mass virtual hosting configurations, mod_vhost_alias, could allow access to any file on the server * If a cgi-bin directory is under the document root, the source to the scripts inside it could be sent if using mass virtual hosting ---------------------------- Thu Sep 28 19:45:07 PDT 2000 rootdsks/network.dsk: Upgraded to use 2.2.17 kernel modules. rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded to use 2.2.17 kernel modules. .eltorito/eltorito.img: Upgraded to Linux 2.2.17. bootdsks.12/*: Rebuilt from new kernels. bootdsks.144/*: Rebuilt from new kernels. kernels/: Upgraded to Linux 2.2.17. modules/: Upgraded to Linux 2.2.17. a1/fsmods.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17. a1/ibcs2.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.2.17. a1/modules.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17. a1/modutils.tgz: Upgraded to modutils-2.3.17. a1/pcmcia.tgz: Upgraded to pcmcia-cs-3.1.20. a1/scsimods.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17. a1/sndmods.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17. d1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17 include files. k1/linuxinc.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17 include files. k1/lx2217.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.2.17 kernel source. n1/netmods.tgz: Upgraded to 2.2.17. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Upgraded to wu-ftpd-2.6.1.

(for more about MAPS, see http://mail-abuse.org) x1/xprog.tgz: Removed /usr/X11R6/lib/zlib.a (this is handled by the zlib.tgz package, and also the version shipped in the X tree isn't always the newest or most bug-free) ---------------------------- Mon Sep 18 11:13:56 PDT 2000 a1/sysklogd.tgz: Upgraded to sysklogd-1.4. This fixes the "klogd format bug" announced this morning on BugTraq. (* Security fix *) ---------------------------- Sun Sep 17 15:19:25 PDT 2000 a1/lilo.tgz: Upgraded to LILO 21.5.1 (includes a boot menu now). tcl1/tcl.tgz: Upgraded to Tcl 8.3.2, patched tclConfig.sh to fix ${TCL_DBGX} variables that don't get expanded for some reason. tcl1/tk.tgz: Upgraded to Tk 8.3.2. tcl1/tclx.tgz: Recompiled TclX 8.2.0 against Tcl/Tk 8.3.2. tcl1/tix.tgz: Recompiled Tix 4.1.0.006 against Tcl/Tk 8.3.2. ---------------------------- Fri Sep 15 19:10:20 PDT 2000 d1/gcl.tgz: Recompiled GCL static, as dynamically linked versions don't always work on a different machine than they were compiled on, while the static version is always rock-solid. At least it's only 50% bigger. :) tcl1/tix.tgz: Recompiled with a patch to support Tcl/Tk 8.3.x. ---------------------------- Wed Sep 13 18:44:39 PDT 2000 Merged in fixes for XFree86 3.3.6 from ftp.xfree86.org.
