Увидел свет Slackware Linux 14.0

[posixru]

Ну вот! Для тех кто ждал, приятное событие:

Slackware "Current" is now beta - that's according to Patrick Volkerding who wrote the following in today's changelog (Sun Jul 22 22:38:36 UTC 2012): - "Howdy! Lots of shiny stuff here, including the long awaited Xfce 4.10. Thanks to Robby Workman for the initial set of build scripts, and lots of testing (plus some very helpful notes about things such as the proper build order). I'm calling this a beta (finally!), and it's really very close to what we expect to release. Test away." The changelog also includes a long note on udev: "Well, udev in this development cycle has certainly been interesting. A fair number of odd bug reports have been coming in, and we hadn't really been able to get a handle on the source of the issues. Quite some time ago we started testing udev-182, and noticed that it caused some issues with the persistent net and CD rules."

После более года с момента выхода Slackware 13.37 вышла бета-версия Slackware 14. Бета версия примечательна включением в состав дистрибутива пользовательского окружения Xfce 4.10, которое поставляется в виде набора модулей, а не в форме одного монолитного архива.

Произведено обновление версий программ: udev 182, slackpkg 2.82, PHP 5.4.5, perl 5.16.0, python 2.7.3, KDE 4.8.4, GCC 4.7.1, библиотеки из состава GNOME 3.4.1, ядро Linux 3.2.23, офисный пакет calligra 2.4.3, seamonkey 2.11, pidgin 2.10.4, MPlayer-1.1, amarok 2.5.0, firefox 14.0.1, thunderbird 14.0.

2012-08-14 Slackware Linux 14.0 RC2

The second release candidate for the upcoming Slackware Linux 14.0 is ready for testing.
Patrick Vokerding in today's changelog: "Getting close! Hopefully we've cleared out most of the remaining issues and are nearly ready here. We'll call this release candidate 2. Unless there's a very good rationale, versions are frozen. Any reports of remaining bugs will be gladly taken, though." The changelog entry also includes a bug-fix rebuild of GNU grep, among other updates: "Merged upstream patches to fix problems with sparse or compressed files, and with file systems that store tiny files within the metadata. This should fix issues with compiling on file systems such as Btrfs and ZFS."

Development Release: Slackware Linux 14.0 RC3

Вышел третий, возможно что последний, релиз-кандидат Slackware 14,0:

- This is Slackware 14.0 release candidate 3 and it is hopefully the last stop on our long road to a stable Slackware release soon. After hearing that the 3.4.x kernel series will have long-term support, I tested 3.4.9 hoping that it would prove stable enough to use that as the release kernel, but there are problems with an oops in clocksource.c every few boots. Given that the 3.2.x series has been very stable, it seems prudent to stick with that for release, and 3.2.28 is going to be the release kernel. So, one more round of testing.
