Rebuilt
- a/dbus-1.10.20-arm-2.txz
Don't demand high-quality entropy from expat-2.2.2+ because 1) dbus doesn't
need it and 2) it can cause the boot process to hang if dbus times out.
Thanks to SeB for a link to the bug report and patch. - d/oprofile-1.1.0-arm-3.txz
Recompiled against new libbfd from binutils-2.29. - e/emacs-25.2-arm-3.txz
Linked against imagemagick-6.9.9-3 and gtk+3-3.22.17. - l/gdk-pixbuf2-2.36.7-arm-2.txz
Restored greyscale support. Thanks to brobr.

The installer image is now 2MB larger than previously. During the Kernel
upgrade, it became apparent that additional modules are now required to
support SCSI devices, so I added a whole bunch of other drivers to try
and make Kernel upgrades smoother in future.
Upgraded
- a/kernel-modules-armv7-4.13.0rc2next20170728_armv7-arm-1.txz
- a/kernel_armv7-4.13.0rc2next20170728-arm-1.txz
Since the Linux 4.11 Kernel we were using is now EOL, I tried to upgrade
to 4.12, but the AllWinner H3 network support patch would no longer apply
since most of the code had been upstreamed already and finding a patch
that would apply to 4.12 was not a valuable use of time.
Upgrading to a new major Kernel release is always fraught with challenges,
from machines kernel panicing, kernels failing to boot, hardware support
disappearing or machines hanging under high load or from being idle!
Fortunately this Kernel has been tested on all of my build machines and is
now stable. I'll probably update to the latest rc's as they come.
If anybody has a suggestion for a Kernel upgrade ritual, let me know.
I have sticks, stones and the ability to hallucinate all manner of whatever's
thought to be useful! - a/lvm2-2.02.173-arm-1.txz

Shared library .so-version bump. - l/libidn2-2.0.3-arm-1.txz
- n/bind-9.11.1_P3-arm-1.txz
Fix a regression in the previous BIND release that broke verification
of TSIG signed TCP message sequences where not all the messages contain
TSIG records.
Compiled to use libidn rather than the deprecated (and broken) idnkit. - n/tcpdump-4.9.1-arm-1.txz
This update fixes an issue where tcpdump 4.9.0 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application
crash) via crafted packet data.
