As most of you are already aware by now, the financal situation here at Slackware HQ has not been great for many years, including not getting any pay for the last two years and forcing me (and my family) to live very frugally while I continued to work on the project hoping I'd figure out a way to actually monitize it by the time that Slackware 15.0 is ready for release. I'm not trying to cast any blame regarding the situation. Really, I can only blame myself for not trying to build my own ship years ago when things began to not really work out. I'm still looking into sustainable funding options such as Patreon or Liberapay (or perhaps both), and I'm open to other ideas. I'm no longer in immediate danger of going broke, and I'm no longer entertaining the notion of joining my friends at the local potato chip factory in order to pay my bills. :) My family is grateful and humbled by the support we've received. Hope we'll be able to keep this project going for a long time. Also, I realize that the website lacks updates and needs attention and I will need to find some time to devote to that. I've never been much of a website designer, and the slackware.com site is basically left over from work done by former Walnut Creek / BSDi employees. I've never seen able to make much sense of the SQL backend. The interface to edit and post articles is clunky (and I'm not sure the PHP for that even works any more). When I've posted articles in recent years, I've done so by editing the main page already processed from PHP into HTML, which is pretty darn messy as I'm sure you can imagine. I tend to prioritize the distribution itself over other demands on my time - that's clearly a lot to do with how things ended up the way they did. So, I guess that's the report for now. Lots more work to do and not enough time to do it in... that part I don't see changing moving forward. :) Thanks very much again. I'll do my best to keep you all posted. - Pat a/file-5.34-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-firmware-20180727_b01151b-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-generic-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-huge-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-modules-4.14.58-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-brig-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-g++-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gfortran-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gnat-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-go-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-objc-8.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/kernel-headers-4.14.58-x86-1.txz: Upgraded. d/libtool-2.4.6-x86_64-9.txz: Rebuilt.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Happy 25th anniversary to the Slackware 1.00 release! When the original announcement went out on Usenet, I believe it had a UTC timestamp which has led to some confusion over whether the anniversary falls on the 16th (which was the date when I made the post) or on the 17th (which is when most people first saw it)... but really, what's the difference? We can celebrate on both days as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sticking with the project all these years. Glad I was able to help. :) Here's a link to the 1.00 announcement: http://www.slackware.com/announce/1.0.php And here's a nice article that was posted on opensource.com: https://opensource.com/article/18/7/stackware-turns-25 a/kernel-firmware-20180717_8d69bab-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. l/pulseaudio-12.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/gnutls-3.6.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. n/mutt-1.10.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log, and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location. The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log, but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users. Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still work through the compatibility symlinks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016 Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released! The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in "interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else who pitched in to help make this release a reality. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. Have fun! :-)
