Packages
Added
- /INSTALL_RASPBERRYPI.TXT
This document provides the URL to David Spencer's work on getting
Slackware ARM on the Raspberry Pi.
I am really impressed by David's work and urge anybody who's considering
investing time in providing documentation on getting Slackware on to devices
not supported in the main tree, to use David's work as a template. - pasture/seamonkey-2.9.1-arm-1.tgz
This is the last Mozilla browsing app that still builds and runs on ARMv5, so
I've added it. This version has been long superceded in terms of security
updates, but it's possibly better than having no Mozilla-based browser for
ARMv5 machines at all!
Upgraded
- a/bash-4.2.037-arm-1.tgz
Added all the patches on ftp.gnu.org and rebuilt.
Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo. - a/minicom-2.6-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Luiz Gustavo Zuliani for build script fixes. - ap/rpm-4.10.0-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Robby Workman. - d/ccache-3.1.8-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp. - d/libtool-2.4.2-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Robby Workman. - kde/amarok-2.6.0-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger. - l/liblastfm-1.0.1-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger. - x/scim-1.4.14-arm-1.tgz
Thanks to Robby Workman.
Rebuilt
- a/devs-2.3.1-arm-2.tgz
Added device nodes (/dev/mmcblk*) for MMC/SD cards that are useful for most
ARM systems, /dev/usbdev1 and /dev/ttyAMA0 that are required for the
Raspberry Pi.
Thanks to David Spencer. - a/grep-2.13-arm-2.tgz
Merged upstream patches to fix problems with sparse or compressed files,
and with filesystems that store tiny files within the metadata. This
should fix issues with compiling on filesystems such as btrfs and zfs.
Thanks to Robert Easter for the bug report. - a/shadow-4.1.4.3-arm-4.tgz
Patched a bug where locale variables would be improperly sanitized from
the shell environment. Thanks to Serg Bormant. - a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-3.tgz
In rc.6, run rc.yp (if executable) to shut down YP services.
In rc.6, fix comment and output notification of SIGTERM/SIGKILL.
Thanks to Jonathan Woithe. - a/util-linux-2.21.2-arm-3.tgz
Patched segfault in “column” when using long options.
Thanks to B Watson. - e/emacs-24.1-arm-4.tgz
Patched to fix a security flaw in the file-local variables code.
When the Emacs user option `enable-local-variables' is set to `:safe'
(the default value is t), Emacs should automatically refuse to evaluate
`eval' forms in file-local variable sections. Due to the bug, Emacs
instead automatically evaluates such `eval' forms. Thus, if the user
changes the value of `enable-local-variables' to `:safe', visiting a
malicious file can cause automatic execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp
code with the permissions of the user. Bug discovered by Paul Ling.

(* Security fix *) - l/db44-4.4.20-arm-3.tgz
Renamed binaries to contain “db44” to avoid overlap with db48. - l/gst-plugins-good-0.10.31-arm-2.tgz
Added gio and soup plugins to enable playing files over http.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger. - l/gtk+2-2.24.10-arm-2.tgz
Don't run “make install” in the SlackBuild, since $DESTDIR is now properly
handled for /etc/gtk-2.0/. Thanks to Adrien Nader. - l/polkit-0.105-arm-3.tgz
Fixed typo in 20-plugdev-group-mount-override.pkla.
Thanks to Chess Griffin. - l/t1lib-5.1.2-arm-4.tgz
Patched various overflows, crashes, and pointer bugs.

(* Security fix *) - n/NetworkManager-0.9.4.0-arm-2.tgz
Patched to fix nmcli. Thanks to parcox on LQ. - n/network-scripts-14.00-noarch-3.tgz
In rc.inet2, run rc.yp rather than sourcing it. - n/yptools-2.12-arm-4.tgz
Switched to a new rc.yp script supporting start|stop|restart.
If there's an existing script, it will be installed as a .new with the same
permissions as the existing rc.yp, which had defaulted to executable since
without editing it did nothing. Unless you plan to use YP, be aware that
moving the new script into place with 755 perms will cause a line of
(harmless) noise telling you that YP has not configured yet.
Thanks to Jonathan Woithe. - xap/fvwm-2.6.5-arm-3.tgz
Since we run dbus-launch in the startup script, don't start it in xinitrc.
Thanks to Robby Workman. - xap/sane-1.0.22-arm-5.tgz
Added pkgconfig file for sane-backends.
Thanks to Johannes Schvpfer and Jonathan Woithe. - xap/windowmaker-0.95.3-arm-3.tgz
Fixed incorrect hard-coded paths in the menu generator code.
Thanks to Gary Langshaw. - isolinux/*
Bind mount /dev in SeTconfig.
Support virtual devices such as /dev/vda and /dev/xvda in /sbin/probe.
Thanks to Ken Treadway.
