Removed /usr/ix86-linux/lib/libiberty.a. slakware/d1/gcc.tgz: Only install gcc info files in /usr/info if egcs is not installed, otherwise put them in /usr/info/gcc2723. Use man pages from egcs by default. slakware/n8/tcpip1.tgz: Run in.identd as nobody. ---------------------------- Fri May 7 21:30:13 CDT 1999 contrib/afterstep.tgz: Added AfterStep 1.0. ---------------------------- Thu May 6 12:35:48 CDT 1999 bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Added parallel disk devices. rootdsks/color.gz, pcmcia.gz, text.gz, umsdos.gz: Added parallel disk devices. slakware/xap1/qt_1_44.tgz: Fixed broken /usr/bin/moc symlink. ---------------------------- Wed May 5 17:32:06 CDT 1999 Contents of A and N package directories sorted.

NOTE: This was a fairly major bug, and was impacting all sorts of things in subtle (but bad) ways, so if you've encountered problems with libtool, configure scripts, or get weird "missing prototypes" errors when you compile things, this could be the cause. Anyone who installed the previous grep package in the week that it was out has a broken system, and should upgrade to this package immediately. Since 'installpkg' itself uses grep, install the package twice to ensure everything goes into place properly. slakware/a5/hdsetup.tgz: Fixed menu size bug when installing packages from NFS. ---------------------------- Thu Apr 8 01:29:03 CDT 1999 slakware/a5/glibc1.tgz: Fix installation script so that installing/removing the package doesn't reset the machine to the Factory timezone. slakware/n6/rsync.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.3.1.

(security fix) slakware/n5/sendmail.tgz: Recompiled along with the new procmail. slakware/n7/samba.tgz: Recompiled against linux-2.2.5 headers. Do not link against -lshadow (libc has compatible functions already) Added comment about security= to the smb.conf-sample. ---------------------------- Sat Apr 3 00:29:13 CST 1999 bootdsks.144/sgivis.s: Added bootdisk that supports the SGI Visual Workstation models 320 and 540. The kernel also supports Adaptec aic7xxx SCSI cards, multiple CPUs, and the SGI DBE video frame buffer graphics console. slakware/d1/lthreads.tgz: Leave spare copies of pthread.h and sched.h in /usr/include. slakware/xap1/gimp.tgz: Upgraded to gimp-1.0.3, with glib-1.2.1 (thread support enabled), gtk+-1.2.1, and aalib-1.2.

Make sure to use 'rdev -r vmlinuz 0' on the kernel we install on the system. slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Revised initial system email for root, changed the originating address to volkerdi@slackware.com, made sure the helpful hints were all correct. :) slakware/ap1/apsfilt.tgz: Added apsfilter-5.0.1. slakware/ap1/enscript.tgz: Added missing enscript.cfg and enscript.st. slakware/ap1/ghostscr.tgz: Upgraded to ghostscript-5.10, with patches to support some additional HP printers (HP670, HP690, HP850, HP855, HP870, HP890, HP1100, and HP1600) slakware/ap1/gsfonts.tgz: Upgraded to ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz and ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz. slakware/d1/perl.tgz: Upgraded to perl5.005_03. slakware/xap1/gs_x11.tgz: Upgraded to X11-supporting ghostscript-5.10 binary. ---------------------------- Tue Mar 30 20:35:06 CST 1999 Slackware 4.0.0-beta is released: bootdsks.12/: Upgraded bootdisks to use Linux 2.2.5. bootdsks.144/: Upgraded bootdisks to use Linux 2.2.5. bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Upgraded to use Linux 2.2.5. contrib/blackbox.tgz: Added blackbox-0.50.2 window manager. contrib/icewm.tgz: Added icewm-0.8.9 window manager. contrib/wmaker.tgz: Added WindowMaker-0.51.2 window manager.

Added dhcpcd-1.3.17-pl5. Patched netwatch to compile on 2.2.x machines. Patched sliplogin to compile on 2.2.x machines. slakware/xv1/xvol32.tgz: Renamed /usr/openwin/bin/msgfmt to /usr/openwin/bin/msgfmt-openlook so various ./configure scripts stop mistaking this for GNU msgfmt. kernels/net.i/*: Recompiled including original ARCnet driver. bootdsks.{12,144}/net.i: Rebuilt from new ARCnet enabled kernel. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 28 01:18:06 CST 1999 slakware/a4/elflibs.tgz: Move libc and libm into place in a way that shouldn't confuse the new implementation of UMSDOS quite as much.

This prevents the installation system from running out of /tmp space from large tagfiles or installation scripts. On the UMSDOS rootdisk, umssync in /mnt in addition to /mnt/linux. (but in /mnt, don't recurse). This is required to prevent the 2.2.x kernel from complaining if the permissions on the /mnt/linux/ directory itself are changed. bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Merged changes from new color.gz. slakware/a7/lilo.tgz: Enabled text-mode configuration menus from text.gz, Added liloconfig.tty script to start liloconfig in text mode. slakware/a12/shadow.tgz: Upgraded to shadow-19990307.

If SMP is detected, the SMP module will be loaded from the new location. slakware/a8/procps.tgz: Upgraded to procps-2.0.1. slakware/a10/sysvinit.tgz: Added section to rc.S for comfiguring ISA Plug-and-Play devices. slakware/a13/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.9i. Removed /bin/kill, since there's now a better one included in the procps package. slakware/n4/ppp.tgz: Upgraded to ppp-2.3.6. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 24 20:00:19 CST 1999 slakware/a4/elflibs.tgz: Added /usr/lib/libz.so.1.0.4. slakware/d1/autoconf.tgz: Added GNU autoconf-2.13. slakware/d1/automake.tgz: Added GNU automake-1.4. slakware/d1/lthreads.tgz: Added linuxthreads-0.71. slakware/n8/tcpip1.tgz: Fixed idecrypt.8.gz man page. slakware/tcl1/tcl.tgz: Upgraded to tcl-8.0.5. slakware/tcl1/tk.tgz: Upgraded to tk-8.0.5. slakware/tcl1/tclx.tgz: Upgraded to tclX-8.0.4. slakware/xap1/kde.tgz: chmod 4711 /opt/kde/bin/kvt.

(joystick modules are included with Linux 2.2.3) slakware/a2/e2fsbn.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.14. slakware/a2/etc.tgz: Now that netscape is in /usr/lib/netscape, MOZILLA_HOME needs to be set for Java to work properly.

[The last rebuild of this package was compiled using the header files from Linux-2.2.1. For some reason, this caused wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr12 to hangup the FTP session as soon as the 'ls' command was used. Upgrading to wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr14 fixed the problem. ] ---------------------------- Wed Feb 10 22:27:48 CST 1999 slakware/xap1/kde.tgz: Upgraded to KDE-1.1.
