patches/packages/curl-8.1.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This is a bugfix release. patches/packages/texlive-2023.230322-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update patches a security issue: LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5. Thanks to Johannes Schoepfer. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-32700 (* Security fix *)

+The TeXLive Package Manager, i.e. tlmgr(1), is not shipped with this
+TeXLive package, as it's not expected to work properly (if at all).
+The general consensus from the TeXLive users mailing list is that
+distributions should not be shipping tlpkg.
+
+The *proper* way to upgrade the TeXLive Slackware package (or any
+part of it) is through your Slackware's package manager. If you
+elect to try tlmgr(1), and it doesn't work at all, or worse, it messes
+up part of your TeXLive installation, too bad. On the other hand,
+if you are able to document exactly what we need to do in order to
+make it:
+ 1) work
+ 2) put updates and such in a user-specific directory, i.e.
+ *not* alter/replace system package contents
+then we would love to hear from you. :-)
