The purpose of this file is to document the new packages (Package
Additions) and removed packages (Package Removals) during the
development cycle from Slackware 10.2 through Slackware 11.0, as
well as to point out some potential "gotchas" that can users can
avoid by arming themselves with a little knowledge.


Package Additions Since 10.2:

    * a/pcmciautils
    * a/sharutils (split from bin)
    * a/acl (split from xfsprogs)
    * a/attr (split from xfsprogs)
    * a/sysfsutils
    * a/sysstat
    * ap/diffstat
    * ap/dmapi (split from xfsprogs)
    * ap/linuxdoc-tools
    * ap/lm_sensors
    * ap/xfsdump (split from xfsprogs)
    * d/git
    * d/mercurial
    * d/ruby
    * kde/amarok
    * kde/qca
    * kde/qca-tls
    * l/apr
    * l/apr-util
    * l/cairo
    * l/db42 (for backwards compatibility)
    * l/db44 (upgrade from db4; see "ackage Removals" and
      "Other Notable Changes and Hints"
    * l/desktop-file-utils
    * l/freetype (split from x11) - see note in "Other Notable Changes
      and Hints" below
    * l/gd
    * l/gnome-icon-theme
    * l/hicolor-icon-theme
    * l/libgpod
    * l/libmtp
    * l/libmusicbrainz
    * l/libnjb
    * l/libtheora
    * l/libtunepimp
    * l/libvisual (library only, no plugins yet - but this should allow
      for compiling audio visualization plugins for amarok without a
      recompile of amarok itself)
    * l/mm (split from apache)
    * l/mpfr (split from gmp)
    * l/neon (split from subversion)
    * l/slang1 (renamed from slang)
    * l/slang (Added slang 2)
    * n/mailx (renamed from nail)
    * n/rdesktop
    * x/dejavu-ttf
    * x/fontconfig (split from x11) - see note in "Other Notable
      Changes and Hints" below
    * x/ttf-indic-fonts - see note in "Other Notable Changes and
      Hints" below.
    * xap/seamonkey
    * xap/vim-gvim (renamed from xvim) - this package now depends on
      ap/vim
    * kernels/huge26.s/* - added a 2.6.17.13 kernel to the official
      (supported) package set.  The user will be given a choice of
      whether to install the 2.4.33.3 or 2.6.17.13 kernel.  If a 2.6
      kernel is used, additional packages must be added after the
      installation -- at the very least the kernel-modules package.
      Possibly also the kernel-headers to provide /usr/include/sound
      used to compile ALSA applications.
    * extra/linux-smp-2.6.17.13/* - added a 2.6.17.13 kernel, modules,
      and headers with SMP and hyperthreading support, optimized for
      i686 or better cores (including dual core CPUs).


Package Removals Since 10.2:

    * ap/sgml-tools (replaced with linuxdoc-tools)
    * d/python-demo (merged with python package)
    * d/python-tools (merged with python package)
    * l/db3 (moved to /pasture)
    * l/db31 (moved to /pasture)
    * l/db4-* (moved to /pasture)
    * n/nail (renamed to mailx - see "ackage Additions")
    * xap/abiword (became a pure Gnome app)
    * xap/mozilla (replaced with seamonkey)
    * xap/xvim (renamed to vim-gvim) - see note above in "ackage
      Additions"


Other Notable Changes and Hints:

    * Both the 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels included are now compiled with
high memory support.

    * Many old bison and db packages were pasture-ized from d/ and
extra/ and so on; after upgrading/installing Slackware 11.0, you should
have *one* bison package and *two* db packages (the db packages are
listed in the package additions above)

    * a/devs was upgraded during the -current development cycle.  You
CANNOT upgrade this package while udev is running - you'll need to
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev, reboot, upgrade the devs package, and then
reboot again.  Actually, you don't *have* to reboot again, but if you
know that, then you likely know how to go about it that way
If you don't know the trick, here's how to do it (no secrets here):
  sh /etc/rc.d/rc.udev stop
  umount /dev/pts
  umount /dev/shm
  umount -l /dev
  installpkg devs*.tgz
  sh /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start
  mount -av
Thanks to Richard Hoyle for this information.

    * So long as we're on the subject of a/devs, be aware that this
package is still *required* in order to boot, even if you're using
a 2.6 kernel and udev, so don't remove it.

    * a/lilo and a/kernel-* were upgraded during the -current
development cycle, so be sure to run /sbin/lilo prior to rebooting.

    * glibc was upgraded during the -current development cycle, so be
sure to follow the instructions in UPGRADE.TXT when upgrading (do the
upgrade in runlevel 1).

    * There was a major upgrade to a/udev and a/sysvinit - make *sure*
you merge the *.new scripts in /etc/rc.d prior to rebooting or you
*will* have problems.

    * If you're having trouble with udev, make sure you've syncronized
all of the .new config files and init scripts first.  According to Pat
Volkerding (the Slackware maintainer), most of these issues can "be
fixed with a little bit of fine tuning, such as blacklisting unwanted
modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and loading the desired
replacements in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules," but simply blacklisting them
will often result in udev loading the correct modules.  Also, keep in
mind that newer versions of udev (084+) require at least a 2.6.15.x
kernel.  Experiment with it before resorting to this, but if you simply
must have one of them, there are alternate versions of udev in /extra.

    * If you're running a 2.6 kernel and new udev (084+) on a router,
you'll probably need to uncomment (and possibly edit to suit) the rules
in /etc/udev/rules.d/network-devices.rules to make your interfaces
always get the same names assigned.  Hotplugging events are generated
(and processed) in random order by udev, so there's no guarantee that
your current eth0 will *always* be eth0 unless you uncomment (and
possibly edit) those rules.

    * If you need custom udev rules, DO NOT edit the default udev.rules
file - any changes you make will be clobbered with the next udev
upgrade.  The correct way is to add a custom file to the
/etc/udev/rules.d/ directory - most people use '10-local.rules' - and
add your custom rules there.  If there is some reason that one of the
default rules needs changed, mail PiterPunk and/or Pat with an
explanation.

    * the php package now depends on l/freetype

    * As indicated above, freetype and fontconfig were split out of the
main X11 packages.  You need to upgrade the main x11 package first, then
install fontconfig and freetype, then upgrade the remainder of the x11
packs; otherwise, they give an error during postinstall about not being
able to load fontconfig libs.

    * The psmouse module is blacklisted by default in the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file due to problems with the default kernel
options used when it loads; this allows you to load it (from
rc.modules, for example) with option "proto=imps" if you need it, or
you are certainly free to comment it out in the blacklist file if it
works fine for you with the kernel defaults.

    * n/apache now depends on l/mm (l/mm was split from apache)

    * xap/seamonkey was chosen to provide the Mozilla development
environment (primarily because the official binaries are used for the
Firefox package, and these do not contain the development headers).
At this time, only GAIM links with SeaMonkey's libraries, but if you
are planning to compile something needing "Mozilla" libraries and
headers, be sure SeaMonkey is installed.

    * There have been quite a few reports that fonts are 'ugly' after
upgrading; one way to fix it is to remove /etc/fonts/local.conf if it
exists.  If it doesn't exist, or that doesn't work, go into KControl's
font settings, uncheck the box for antialiasing, and apply the changes.
Then, recheck the box and apply the changes.  This should create a
$HOME/.fonts.conf file.  You might consider copying the contents of this
newly created file to /etc/fonts/local.conf if you want to fix it for
all users on the system.  Thanks to Pat for the initial suggestion with
KControl, and thanks to ananke for working out exactly what changes are
necessary to fix it.

    * php5 and lvm2 are available in /extra if you would like to use
them

    * Slackware's vim package now (starting with vim-7.0.066-i486-1)
includes a $VIM/vimrc file (in this case, /usr/share/vim/vimrc) for
vim's default configuration.  This default should provide a suitable
start for most and your ~/.vimrc will override it if not, but if you
had previously not explicitly set, e.g., 'backup', because vim's
compiled-in default resulted in no backups and that suited you, the
$VIM/vimrc includes 'set backup' and you will suddenly be keeping
backups.  These settings can be overridden individually (in this case
with 'set nobackup') but one of several ways to avoid having
$VIM/vimrc affecting your configuration at all is to put this at the
top of your ~/.vimrc, overriding everything in $VIM/vimrc:

set all& " reset all options to compiled in defaults (thanks to deryni in #vim)
unmap Q " remove mapping to gq
syntax off " turn syntax off
filetype plugin indent off " turn filetype detection off
augroup! vimrcEx " delete the autocommand group that wraps text, etc.

    * If you have an ati radeon card and are experiencing problems with
it locking up, there is a patched set of ati modules at
/extra/x11-radeon-patched/ - if you are not experiencing problems, then
don't install this, as it does tend to cause problems if you weren't
already having them...

    * The ttf-indic-fonts package supports Bengali, Devanagari,
Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu.  For
information about fully enabling Indic support (including input), see:
/usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Indic-Fonts-HOWTO.

    * As part of the upgrade to nfs-utils and portmap, the
/etc/rc.d/rc.portmap script has been replaced by /etc/rc.d/rc.rpc.  The
rc.rpc script does not have to be executable unless you plan on
mounting nfs shares manually (as it will be run by other init scripts
if any nfs shares or mounts are detected), or if you plan to run
YP/NIS.

Announcing Slackware Linux 11!

The only Slackware release more than a year in the making, this
edition of Slackware combines Slackware's legendary simplicity,
stability, and security with some of the latest advances in Linux
technology.  Expect no less than the best Slackware yet.

Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll
find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today:
Xfce 4.2.3.2, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy
to use desktop environment, and KDE 3.5.4, the latest version of the
award-winning K Desktop Environment.

Slackware uses the 2.4.33.3 kernel bringing you advanced performance
features such as the ReiserFS journaling filesystem, SCSI and ATA RAID
volume support, SATA support, and kernel support for X DRI (the Direct
Rendering Interface) that brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3D
graphics to Linux.  Additional kernels allow installing Slackware
using any of the journaling filesystems available for Linux, including
ext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS.  Slackware 11.0 also fully
supports the 2.6 kernel series, with your choice of the well-tested
2.6.17.13 kernel in /extra (including a version of this kernel that
supports multiple processors, multi-core CPUs, HyperThreading, and
about every other optimization available), or the recently released
2.6.18 kernel in /testing.  This kernel also spent a long time in
development and in our own testing has proven to be fast, stable,
and reliable.

All of these kernels may be used with Slackware's CD/DVD based
installation system, and NFS network installs may be done using the
2.6.17.13 (huge26.s) kernel.

From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux
distribution for UNIX veterans as well as an easy-to-use system for
beginners.  Slackware includes everything you'll need to run a
powerful server or workstation.  Each Slackware package follows the
setup and installation instructions from its author(s) as closely as
possible, offering you the most stable and easily expandable setup.

Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 11.0:

- Runs the 2.4.33.3 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
  Special kernels were prepared to support hardware such as SCSI
  controllers, SATA controllers, USB keyboards and mice, parallel-port
  IDE devices, IBM PS/2 machines with the Microchannel bus, and even
  speech synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually
  impaired community.  The performance of the 2.4.x kernel series
  along with Slackware's track record of careful attention to system
  security make it the perfect choice for running your production
  servers.

- As an alternate choice, Slackware 11.0 includes Linux 2.6.17.13
  and 2.6.18 kernel source, kernel modules, and binary packages,
  along with the mkinitrd tool and instructions on using it to
  install the new kernel (see /boot/README.initrd).  When running a
  2.6 kernel, Slackware supports udev.  This is a system for
  creating devices in /dev dynamically, greatly reducing device
  clutter and making it easy to see what devices are actually
  present in the system.  Udev probes for and enables hardware on
  the system, much like the hotplug system does for a 2.4 kernel.

- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.3.6.
  This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with
  existing binaries.

- X11R6.9.0 (same codebase as Modular X.Org 7.0.0)
  This is the X.Org Foundation's X Window System.  The 6.9.0 version
  includes additional hardware support, functional enhancements, and
  bug fixes compared with the 6.8.2 release that shipped in Slackware
  10.2, and we're added additional support for some recent popular
  Intel graphics chipsets.
     
- Installs gcc-3.4.6 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77,
  and Ada 95 compiler.

- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL,
  OpenSSH, and GnuPG.

- Apache 1.3.37 web server with Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support,
  SSL, and PHP.

- PCMCIA, CardBus, and APM support for laptops. (pcmcia-cs-3.2.8
  and pcmciautils-014).  Slackware also now includes hotplug and
  udev support.  This locates and configures most hardware
  automatically as it is added (or removed) from the system.
  It also loads the kernel modules required by sound cards and
  other hardware at boot time.

- New development tools, including Perl 5.8.8, Python 2.4.3,
  Ruby 1.8.4, Subversion 1.4.0, and graphical tools like
  Qt designer and KDevelop.

- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it
  easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
  Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 10.2 to
  Slackware 11.0 (see UPGRADE.TXT).  The slackpkg tool in /extra can
  also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one,
  and keep your Slackware system up to date.  In addition, the
  slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain
  your own packages.

- Web browsers galore!  Includes KDE's Konqueror 3.5.4,
  SeaMonkey 1.0.5 (this is the new replacement for the Mozilla
  Suite), and the immensely popular Firefox 1.5.0.7, as well as
  the Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 email and news client with advanced
  junk mail filtering.

- The complete K Desktop Environment (KDE) version 3.5.4, including
  the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI development
  with KDevelop, multimedia tools (including the amazing Amarok
  music player), the Konqueror web browser and file manager, dozens
  of games and utilities, international language support, and more.

- A collection of GTK+ based applications including gaim-1.5.0,
   gimp-2.2.13, gkrellm-2.2.9, gxine-0.5.7, xchat-2.6.6, xsane-0.991,
   and pan-0.14.2.91.

- Large repository of extra software packages compiled and ready to
  run.  This includes various window managers, the K3b CD burning
  application for KDE, the Java(TM) 2 Software Development Kit
  Standard Edition, libsafe (advanced buffer overflow protection for
  additional security), ISDN support, additional 802.11 drivers, and
  much more (see the /extra directory).
  
- Many more improved and upgraded packages than we can list here.  For
  a complete list of core packages in Slackware 11.0, see this file:

    ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-11.0/PACKAGES.TXT

- Another Slackware exclusive:  Slackware's ZipSlack installation
  option is the fastest, _easiest_ Linux installation ever.  ZipSlack
  provides a basic text-based Linux system as a 70 megabyte ZIP archive.  
  Simply unzip on any FAT or FAT32 partition, edit your boot partition
  in the LINUX.BAT batch file, and you can be running Linux in less
  than five minutes.  The ZipSlack installation includes everything you
  need to network with Linux (including Ethernet, token ring, and
  PPP), and extend the system with additional software packages such as
  X.  A ZipSlack system will even fit on a 250MB Zip(TM) disk, so you
  can carry a personal Linux system with you to run on any PC with a
  250MB Zip(TM) drive.

a/aaa_base-11.0.0-noarch-2.tgz:  Updated the "Welcome to Slackware" email.
  Added /mount directory, subdirectories, and symbolic links recommended by
  the FHS, along with README files to help me understand the difference
  between this directory and /mnt.  ;-)
a/etc-11.0-noarch-1.tgz:  Fixed a bug in /etc/csh.login that caused repeated
  use of "csh -l" to duplicate search directories in the $path.  Clearly
  /etc/csh.login should set the path just as /etc/profile does.
  This bug dates back at at least 1997, maybe earlier, so congratulations to
  Dimitar Zhekov for winning this release's "smite the oldest bug" award.
  Added distcc port to /etc/services.  Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp and
  Robby Workman for the continual reminders.  ;-)
a/pkgtools-11.0.0-i486-4.tgz:  Made upgradepkg a little bit more gentle -- if
  it is run on a corrupted .tgz it will no longer remove the original package.
  Thanks to Ric Anderson for the report.
  Added rc.scanluns to the services setup menu.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-69.tgz:  Fixed path to /sbin/initscript shown in init.8
  (again).  Thanks to Robby Workman.
  Changed rc.S to run rc.serial according to whether the script is executable.
a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-5.tgz:  Treat /etc/rc.d/rc.serial (to preserve file
  permissions), /etc/serial.conf, and /etc/fdprm as '.new' config files.
ap/lm_sensors-2.10.0-i486-3.tgz:  Fixed hardcoded /usr/local paths in
  sensors-detect.  Thanks to Jakub Jankowski.
kde/kdebase-3.5.4-i486-7.tgz:  Patched to fix media:/ URLs in Konqueror without
  requiring HAL.  Thanks to everyone involved in reporting this issue and
  seeing that it was addressed:
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132281
  A big thanks to coolo (Stephan Kulow) for coming up with a patch.  :-)
zipslack/zipslack.zip:  Added ZipSlack.
