It would be lovely if we ditch this in favor of MPV and its KDE frontend, Haruna.

Both those video players are part of KDE Applications, so I see no sense to remove them. Also, some people like them. So, if you don't like them, just don't install them and put them in your blacklist.

Anyway, with Plasma5 is very simple to change the "default" application used for video files - I for one I do usually this tuning for changing to SMPlayer as default video player. I recommend sincerely to do also you this configuration change.

ROCm - https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm

They've been developing it for a couple of years now. It would be great to have it working in Slackware.

From what I've seen, it can run on stock llvm now.

Most probably this will land in a soon to be released 4.10.4 i believe.

Own directory in /tmp for distribution SlackBuilds, e.g. /tmp/Swc based on /tmp/SBo but that doesn't look very nice so rather /tmp/slackware?

Add at least -l (--list-name) option to elogind doinst.sh pgrep invocation

Code:

if pgrep -f elogind-daemon | grep -q 'elogind-daemon'; then

otherwise it returns just the PID and the subsequent grep won't match.

The grep seems superfluous already. The 'if' could just check whether the pgrep succeeded or not with something like:

Code:

if pgrep -f elogind-daemon &> /dev/null ; then

But yes, the current version of that daemon detection and restart logic doesn't seem to work.

As suggested by http://www.slackware.com/~alien/ , I am asking for a reference to http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackboot/mini/ to be added to isolinux/README.TXT

I was looking for a way to boot the Slackware installer on an ancient computer that only has a CDROM (no DVDROM drive) and discovered that 15.0 does not ship CD image sets anymore, only a single DVD iso image. I ended reading the aforementioned README file which documents creating the CD image sets and has a quite obscure "exercise for the reader". However, it does not answer at all the question how to build a minimal bootable iso with no packages at all (which can be later plugged from a remote network resource). Further searching resulted with finding AlienBOB's script and ready iso images that solve exactly this problem. A reference in the README would've saved me some time. Hereby I request adding such a reference there, since I see that -current still has a 32bit version (so the next stable release will have a 32bit flavor as well), this being the scenario when the need for such a minimal iso image is most likely to happen.

For AlienBOB,

Just a bit of a 'nitpick' here....

https://slackware.nl/slackware/slack...me_dvd.mkisofs

Code:

  #
  # Slackware installation as DVD. 
  #
  # Contains: bootable INSTALL DVD (including /extra and /source)
  #
  # Command used to create the ISO's for this DVD:
  # (see also /isolinux/README.TXT on the DVD you'll burn from the ISO)

  # DVD

  mkisofs -o slackware64-current-install-dvd.iso \
    -R -J -V "Slackware-current DVD" \
    -hide-rr-moved -hide-joliet-trans-tbl \
    -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
    -sort isolinux/iso.sort \
    -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
    -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
    -preparer "Slackware-current build for x86_64 by Eric Hameleers <alien@slackware.com>" \
    -publisher "The Slackware Linux Project - http://www.slackware.com/" \
    -A "Slackware-current DVD - build 31_May_2023" \
    -x ./pasture -x ./testing  -x ./source -x ./extra/source \
    -eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot -eltorito-platform 0xEF -eltorito-boot isolinux/efiboot.img \
    .

Yes, /extra is included.

However, /source, /extra/source along with /pasture & /testing are _excluded_ not _included_.

To include those would then require a dual-layer DVD.

Not AlienBOB here, BUT what is included or excluded could be fully customized in the configuration file of mirror-slackware-current.sh , script written for and used by Mr. Hameleers for his custom ISOs for slackware-current.

BTW, Mr. Hameleers stopped posting in this forum some years ago, so I guess that he will not respond you.

ntp 4.2.8p16

Edit: Observing possible issues on #ntp at Libera.Chat so no rush.

Another edit:

Code:

13:10:37 <opty> i use "pool cz.pool.ntp.org iburst", do you recommend upgrade to 4.2.8p16 then?
[...]
13:13:54 <@harlan> opty: I could be wrong.  It seems to me like this change, even if we don't keep it, will only cause
                   potential difficulty at the initial start, and the long-term behavior seems clearly better.
13:14:02 <davehart> opty pool associations have their initial poll delayed by 3s after the response to solicitation.  They
                    are not affected by the up to 64s first poll issue in p16, so I would recommend you upgrade.  I'd also
                    recommend you consider trying the change to automatically hone in the best pool servers from your unique
                    perspective.  That's at https://people.nwtime.org/hart/ntp-dev-3792-msm-v2.tar.gz
