Thu Jan 10 08:17:57 UTC 2013 d/cmake-2.8.10.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/llvm-3.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. I'm not sure how this behaves with the X.Org/Mesa stuff that uses llvm, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it. We were due for an update here anyway, and can't very well just let LLVM/Clang sit broken in -current. l/seamonkey-solibs-2.15-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. xap/mozilla-firefox-18.0-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.

So, here you go... the final kernel updates. * Still testing the new glibc, which removes the gets() function and may or may not be a safe upgrade yet. It might be safer after the next gcc comes out. a/kernel-firmware-20121220git-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-generic-3.7.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-generic-smp-3.7.1_smp-i686-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-huge-3.7.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-huge-smp-3.7.1_smp-i686-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-modules-3.7.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-modules-smp-3.7.1_smp-i686-1.txz: Upgraded. d/binutils-2.23.51.0.6-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-g++-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gfortran-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-gnat-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-go-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-java-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/gcc-objc-4.7.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded. d/kernel-headers-3.7.1_smp-x86-1.txz: Upgraded. d/oprofile-0.9.7-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt. k/kernel-source-3.7.1_smp-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt. kernels/*: Upgraded. usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt. * Until the next b'ak'tun. See you all in 13.0.0.0.0! :-) +--------------------------+ Tue Dec 11 22:35:02 UTC 2012 a/mkinitrd-1.4.7-i486-7.txz: Rebuilt. Added support for the parameter names that control the delay before attempting to mount the root filesystem, and the root file system type: 'rootdelay' 'rootfstype' respectively. These are the official/documented parameters in the kernel documentation. The original parameters ('rootfs' and 'waitforroot') may still be used. Thanks to Thorsten Mühlfelder and Richard Lapointe for the suggestion. For ARM devices: unless specified when the initrd is built, or at boot time as a kernel parameter, wait a minimum of four seconds for the root device to become ready. Thanks to Jerome Pinot for the suggestion and the patch. +--------------------------+ Fri Dec 7 01:41:59 UTC 2012 ap/sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.

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! :-)
