Slackwarearm-14.2 ChangeLog (2016-01-23)
Sat Jan 23 22:23:24 UTC 2016
This is Slackware ARM v14.2, beta 1.
We have now switched to PulseAudio. Thanks to Mario Preksavec, Heinz Wiesinger,
and Robby Workman for a lot of help and testing on x86. However, there are no
ARM machines here with audio output so this has NOT been tested on ARM yet!
If you can help with testing, please post to the Slackware ARM forum on LQ:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-arm-108/
I tried Linux 4.4 which fixed the USB problem on the Banana Pi but unfortunately
introduced problems with the Kirkwood support, so we're remaining at 4.3.4
for the time being. I'll re-test once 4.4.1 is available.
Packages
Removed
a/apmd-3.2.2-arm-4.txz
APM is no longer used in the shipped kernels, xapm was broken, and
it no longer compiles. This has been moved to /pasture.n/bluez-hcidump-2.5-arm-1.txz
hcidump is included in the main bluez package.
Thanks to Audrius Kazukauskas.xfce/xfce4-mixer-4.10.0-arm-2.txz
Replaced by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.xfce/xfce4-volumed-0.1.13-arm-3.txz
Replaced by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.
Rebuilt
- a/etc-14.2-arm-6.txz
Added user (pulse) and group (pulse) for PulseAudio.
Added pulse user to the audio group. - a/eudev-3.1.5-arm-3.txz
Blacklisted new watchdog modules (bcm7038_wdt, max63xx_wdt). - a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-25.txz
rc.M: Don't try to start apmd.
rc.M: If rc.pulseaudio is executable, run it (not recommended though). - a/tcsh-6.19.00-arm-2.txz
Added patches from Fedora to allow perl to rebuild (it was getting stuck
on the checks for tcsh). - ap/alsa-utils-1.1.0-arm-2.txz
Change perms on /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa to 644.
On a fresh system, install rc.alsa as executable. It's apparently still
useful for loading some mixer defaults even when PulseAudio is used. - ap/lxc-1.1.5-arm-2.txz
Fixed failed rc.M patch with lxc-create, and rebased against recent scripts.
Thanks to Jakub Jankowski. - ap/mpg123-1.22.4-arm-2.txz
Add support for PulseAudio and use it for output by default.
