PS I hope this fixes the segfault so I don't have to see it anymore

Gah you are correct, I didn’t pay any mind to that. Apologies.

Replace pkg-config with pkgconf.

Is anyone using the "meta" key in KDE to launch the application menu? It stopped working on both 32 and 64-bit -current after the October 10 update.

The Konsole window was shrunk to an unviewable size. The window was easy enough to resize. Still looking for a way to restore the meta key function.

Thank you!

[ANNOUNCE] mesa 22.2.1
I'm a bit late getting this out, I blame XDC. Anyway. This is pretty
much what *should* have been in 22.21, with a few extras, so there will
be a regularly scheduled 22.2 release next week.

We've got lots of stuff here: llvmpipe, lavapipe, freedreno, aco, mesa,
turnip, virgl, r600, zink, radv, core gallium, and nir. All in all, lots
of good fixes all over the tree.

Hi,

I am installing Slackware64-15.0 on another machine in order to do some testing. I haven't done it for a while. I was wondering why I have to install out of date packages just to update them using slackpkg a few minutes later. Is there a way around it? I don't think there is an option in Slackware installer to use /patches directory by default.
Would it be a good idea to just install newest kernel etc right away? Or at least if there was an option to do it?
Is there some rationale behind the current installer behaviour other then keeping it simple

Regards,

Alex

Meta key works again with the October 14th updates.

A handful of packages (-current and 15.0) come with uncompressed or xz-compressed man pages. Patches are attached below for the following:

n/NetworkManager: one more man page was hardlinked and gzip got mad
n/krb5: two man pages were hidden files and therefore left uncompressed
ap/sysstat: "make install" installs xz-compressed man pages

A few more packages just need the additional two lines to compress and link man pages (no patches for these due to the file upload limit):

l/glade
x/ibus-table
n/libnetfilter_log
l/speech-dispatcher

Dear BDFL,

I believe that's the time to jump ASAP to kernel 5.19.16 on -current and 5.15.74 on stable v15.0 because they fixes 5 (five) really nasty CVEs on WiFi management.

Thanks you!
