Slackware 15.0 x86_64 stable is released!
Another too-long development cycle is behind us after we bit off more than
we could chew and then had to shine it up to a high-gloss finish. Hopefully
we've managed to get the tricky parts out of the way so that we'll be able
to see a 15.1 incremental update after a far shorter development cycle.
Certainly the development infrastructure has been streamlined here and things
should be easier moving forward. My thanks to the rest of the Slackware team,
all the upstream developers who have given us such great building materials,
the folks on LinuxQuestions.org and elsewhere for all the help with testing,
great suggestions, and countless bug fixes, and to everyone who helped
support this project so that the release could finally see the light of day.
I couldn't have done any of this without your help, and I'm grateful to all
of you. Thanks!
For more information, check out the RELEASE_NOTES, CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT,
and ANNOUNCE.15.0.
Have fun! :-)

+Slackware packages no longer install libtool's .la files, which have been
+ deprecated in favor of pkg-config's .pc files. Because of this, it's
+ possible if you're upgrading from Slackware 14.2 that you may have .la
+ files that were installed by software that you built yourself or as part
+ of third-party packages. These other .la files may contain references
+ to .la files that Slackware no longer ships, which would cause compile
+ failures to occur. The good news is that you really don't need to do
+ much more than remove the .la files and everything will work fine
+ without them. This command will remove these files for you:
+ rm -f --verbose /{,usr/,usr/local/}lib{,64}/*.la
The ntp package has changed such that ntpd now drops privileges and runs as
user ntp and group ntp. Be sure to move/merge the changes to rc.ntpd and
