Slackware64-current ChangeLog (2021-11-17)
Wed Nov 17 20:50:35 UTC 2021
Clearly we're going to have to tread more carefully for things to settle down,
so consider this RC2 and a much harder freeze. A test mass rebuild was done
here and there are no more “fails to build from source” remaining (thanks to
nobodino for some amazing and relentless testing).
Packages
Upgraded
- x/libdrm-2.4.107-x86_64-1.txz
Reverted to 2.4.107 as 2.4.108 does not seem to be completely compatible with
xorg-server-1.20.13. Fixes xf86-video-vmware failing to build from source.
Thanks to nobodino.
Rebuilt
- ap/lxc-4.0.11-x86_64-3.txz
Added some additional packages to the lxc-slackware template:
bridge-utils, dbus, iptables, libnl3, libpcap.
Thanks to linux91 for the hints. - l/python-docutils-0.17.1-x86_64-3.txz
Revert to this version for now since 0.18 isn't compatible with Sphinx.
Thanks to HQuest. - l/python-markdown-3.3.4-x86_64-3.txz
Reverted this to fix the Samba build. The newer versions of Markdown require
importlib_metadata and zipp, and adding these also fixes the build, but oddly
the installed PKG-INFO shows version 0.0.0, which I suspect is more breakage
going on with setuptools. I've tried rebuilding all other Python modules here
to see if a more general breakage had crept in somehow, but those are the
only two Python modules I've found that exhibit this issue, and I've found
other similar reports (but no fixes). Markdown-3.3.4 seems to be the safe bet
for now.
