Slackware 14.0slackware-14.0

Wed Sep 26 01:10:42 UTC 2012
Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!

We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing.  But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.

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.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.  The Slackware team, the
upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user
community.

Have fun!  :-)

-+
-+  Many desktop environments, including KDE and Xfce, have their own methods to
-+  configure keyboard layouts and such if you'd like to use them.
-+
-+  If you prefer to use the "old" way of configuring keyboards (without HAL's
-+  input device hotplugging), then you'll need to add the following lines to
-+  the ServerFlags section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
-+    Option   "AllowEmptyInput"     "false"
-+    Option   "AutoAddDevices"      "false"
-+    Option   "AutoEnableDevices"   "false"
-+  You can now edit the Keyboard section of xorg.conf as usual.

-    If dbus_error_init() is not called before LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR() is

-    linux/probe-input: don't use error prio init
-    
-    it may happen in the out: case that LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR (&error) is
-    called before the error structure is initialized via
-    dbus_error_init (&error). This could lead to a segfault during startup
-    as seen in dmesg:

-    |Intel AES-NI instructions are not detected.

-    Policy: handle `input.touchpad' explicitly
-    
-    This commit essentially duplicates the policy for:
-    
-       <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
-    
-    and then changes `input.mouse' to `input.touchpad'. This
-    is necessary because in Linus Torvalds's Linux repo:
-    
-        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
-    
-    the following commit:
-

-    
-            Input: ALPS - do not set REL_X/REL_Y capabilities on the touchpad
-    
-            Relative events are only reported via secondary device therefore device
-            associated with the touchpad should not advertise these capabilities.

-    so that HAL no longer adds:
-    
-        input.mouse
-    
-    to an ALPS touchpad's:
-    
-        info.capabilities
-    
-    so that HAL no longer marks the ALPS touchpad with:
-    
-        input.x11_driver = 'evdev'
-    
-    because the policy file:
-    
-        fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi
-    
-    doesn't define the policy for:
-    
-        <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
-    
-    which was previous unnecessary because everything used to
-    be caught by the policy for:

-        <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">

-From: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com>
-Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:07:32 +0200
-Subject: [PATCH] HAL: Ignore internal DM devices with new DM udev rules
-
-With new device-mapper udev rules are /dev/mapper/* symlinks
-to basic device name /dev/dm-X.
-(Change requested by udev upstream.)
-
-This change breaks temporary-cryptsetup workaround inside hal.
-
-With new dm-udev rules (uncluded since device-mapper 1.02.39)
-there is DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG variable
-which controls that scan should be ignored for this device
-(it is set for all internal devices, including temporary cryptsetup,
-internal parts of lvm devices etc.)
-
-Ignore device if this flag is set.

-    Bump HAL_PATH_MAX to 4096
-    
-    Some bits in the code use realpath() with destination paths of size
-    HAL_PATH_MAX. This potentially breaks on systems where PATH_MAX is bigger than
-    HAL_PATH_MAX (which was 512 until now).
-    
-    Since we can't use PATH_MAX directly (due to platforms like GNU/Hurd, which
-    apparently don't have it), just bump HAL_PATH_MAX to 4096 (as PATH_MAX is on
-    Linux), to avoid potential buffer overflows and also fix hal on Linux when
-    enabling FORTIFY in gcc.
