  • a/aaa_elflibs-14.2-i586-8.txz
  • a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-25.txz
    rc.modules: New simplfied module dep script.
    NOTE: This will be installed as /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.new by default.
    To use it, remove the existing rc.modules symlink and move the new
    file into place.
    rc.modules.local: New local module loading script.
    Thanks to GazL and rworkman for helping clean out the rc.modules cruft.
    rc.S: If executable, start rc.cgmanager.
    rc.6: If executable, stop rc.cgmanager.
  • ap/slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-15.txz
    Don't blacklist aaa_elflibs. Upgrade it right after glibc-solibs.
    Suggest http://mirrors.slackware.com rather than ftp (which won't redirect).
    Prompt to restart the upgrade process if slackpkg is upgraded.
    Thanks to Robby Workman.
