Re: 14.2 kernel versions

@justwantin

That is correct. There is/was the empty USB packet issue which is a Samsung bug and which we ourselves fixed some time ago. May be one should roll a Slack package with the correction, although I'm unclear whether there is enough interest out there?

Re: Options for Salix if Slackware is forced to switch init

See this post and especially its last line.
... and while PV has been an exceptional guide all along, that alone does not make Faith a strategy nor Hope a destination.

Re: Options for Salix if Slackware is forced to switch init

Perhaps providing su...

Qt5 & PyQt5 issue - libselinux

This is primarily just a heads-up in case it was missed... ... since the Qt project enabled QtWebkit's Javascript JIT, starting with Qt5 (and PyQt5, etc), it now requires libselinux (the selinux library) to link and to run, which Slackware obviously does not have! Alien Bob has come to the rescue - ...
