a/kernel-firmware-20230117_7e4f0ed-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-generic-6.1.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-huge-6.1.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-modules-6.1.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-3.txz: Rebuilt.
installpkg: allow xz to use all the available CPU threads.
makepkg: by default, allow xz to determine how many threads to use. However,
on 32-bit platforms default to 2 threads since we were using this before. If
allowed to decide, xz seems to only want to use a single thread on 32-bit.
ap/nano-7.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/sudo-1.9.12p2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a flaw in sudo's -e option (aka sudoedit) that could allow
a malicious user with sudoedit privileges to edit arbitrary files.

/usr/lib/setup/INS-all-in-one: Added.
This detects the AiO (All in One Offline) partition labeled 'SLKins_aio-pkgs'
that houses the Slackware source media (installable packages), and configures
the Installer to use it as the media source.
/usr/lib/setup/SeTmedia: Call INS-all-in-one first to discover the A-i-O media
partition. If unavailable, fails sanity check or the user opted not to use
the included media, the regular set of source media selection options are
presented.
/usr/lib/setup/setup: Post install: If the A-i-O partition is mounted, umount
and suggest to physically unplug the Slackware Installer USB stick.
This is skipped on ARM since the A-i-O partition resides on the same storage
as the OS' /boot partition, so cannot/should not be removed.
Fixed white space in license header.
/usr/lib/setup/SeTpasswd: Clear screen before setting 'root' user password to
fix a text overlap from the 'dialog' box when installing over SSH.
Thanks to Stuart Winter.

a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-4.txz: Rebuilt.
makepkg: also let xz decide how many threads to use on ARM platforms aarch64
and riscv64. Thanks to Stuart Winter.
installpkg: fix reversed test for if a --threads option was given. It appears
that it's been wrong for years but since xz didn't support threaded
decompression yet it wasn't noticed.
a/xz-5.4.1-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Reduce default verbosity from V_WARNING to V_ERROR to avoid sending non-fatal
memory usage information to stderr.
kde/plasma-wayland-protocols-1.10.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/exiv2-0.27.6-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

[PATCH] Fix a9e845 and 797755 Allow X*IfEvent() to reenter libX11
Thanks to marav.
They took down the 1.10 and replaced it with 1.10.0. I didn't diff them, but it's still an upgrade if upstream issues a newer release... even if the version number is "equal".

1.10 and 1.10.0 are identical, it was just a misnumbered package:
