Clearly we're going to have to tread more carefully for things to settle down,
so consider this RC2 and a much harder freeze. A test mass rebuild was done
here and there are no more "fails to build from source" remaining (thanks to
nobodino for some amazing and relentless testing).
a/exfatprogs-1.1.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/lxc-4.0.11-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Added some additional packages to the lxc-slackware template:
bridge-utils, dbus, iptables, libnl3, libpcap.
Thanks to linux91 for the hints.
ap/qpdf-10.4.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/python-docutils-0.17.1-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Revert to this version for now since 0.18 isn't compatible with Sphinx.
Thanks to HQuest.
l/python-markdown-3.3.4-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Reverted this to fix the Samba build. The newer versions of Markdown require
importlib_metadata and zipp, and adding these also fixes the build, but oddly
the installed PKG-INFO shows version 0.0.0, which I suspect is more breakage
going on with setuptools. I've tried rebuilding all other Python modules here
to see if a more general breakage had crept in somehow, but those are the
only two Python modules I've found that exhibit this issue, and I've found
other similar reports (but no fixes). Markdown-3.3.4 seems to be the safe bet
for now.
n/bind-9.16.23-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
x/libdrm-2.4.107-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Reverted to 2.4.107 as 2.4.108 does not seem to be completely compatible with
xorg-server-1.20.13. Fixes xf86-video-vmware failing to build from source.
Thanks to nobodino.

Sorry for the delay, but Mr. Volkerding corrected a typo in the previous changelog that messed up my diff stdout.

d/python3-3.9.9-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This is a bugfix release, fixing four bugs in Python 3.9.8 (including an
argparse regression in Python 3.9.8 which caused complex command-line tools
to fail recognizing sub-commands properly). It also makes a couple of
corrections to the documentation.
For more information, see:
https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.9/whatsnew/changelog.html
l/libjpeg-turbo-2.1.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/python-setuptools_scm-6.3.2-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This is needed when building some Python modules to correctly parse their
metadata, as recently discovered with importlib_metadata and zipp. While
we'll stick to the version of Markdown that we've got, it seems like a good
idea to get this in before the release to help prevent people from running
into similar "version 0.0.0" issues with other Python modules.
Thanks to USUARIONUEVO.
l/python-tomli-1.2.2-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This is needed by setuptools_scm. Also, the SlackBuild contains a nice
example of using a setup.py shim to setuptools for a Python module that
only contains pyproject.toml and not setup.py.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.

ap/mariadb-10.5.13-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Install /etc/security/user_map.conf as /etc/security/user_map.conf.new to
protect it from being overwritten by future upgrades.
Thanks to Markus Wiesner.
d/python3-3.9.9-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Do not patch posix_user platlib to use $HOME/.local/lib64 on 64-bit - use
$HOME/.local/lib for all platforms. This avoids a warning from pip about the
install location not matching between distutils and sysconfig. Note that this
might require already installed modules to be moved from $HOME/.local/lib64
to $HOME/.local/lib (or they could be removed and then reinstalled).
At first this seemed to be a non-optimal solution for this issue, but other
distributions are taking this same approach and it appears that the
posix_user platlib setting has always been ignored until recently.
If this causes any unexpected issues, let me know.
Thanks to redneonglow and alijkl.

Use the upstream vncserver script, patched to search in some additional
locations for a startup script: $HOME/.vnc/xstartup, $HOME/.xinitrc, and
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
Add a symlink for vncserver in the old location (/usr/bin/vncserver).
Thanks to 0XBF.
