Slackware 13

Come molti di voi sapranno è uscita la versione di 13 Slackware

Questa versione segna indiscutibilmente un passo importante nella storia di Slackware, per due motivi: i pacchetti compressi con lzma che utilizzano l’estensione .txz e la prima versione a 64bit della distribuzione.

Tutte le altre novità potete leggerle nell’annuncio ufficiale del rilascio e nelle
note di rilascio.

Questo è il messaggio di Pat nella home page di Slackware.com

After one of the most intensive periods of development in Slackware’s history, the long awaited stable release of Slackware 13.0 is ready. This release brings with it many major changes since Slackware 12.2, including a completely reworked collection of X packages (a configuration file for X is no longer needed in most cases), major upgrades to the desktop environments (KDE version 4.2.4 and Xfce version 4.6.1), a new .txz package format with much better compression, and other upgrades all around — to the development system, network services, libraries, and major applications like Firefox and Thunderbird. We think you’ll agree that this version of Slackware was worth the wait. Also, this is the first release of Slackware with native support for the 64-bit x86_64 architecture! Major kudos to Eric Hameleers for all of his work, especially on the 64-bit port.

Per aggiornare da una 12.2 alla nuova versione seguire l’how-to che ho scritto per slacky.eu, che è in gran parte preso dalla guida Current for Dummies che trovate in questo sito.

a/etc-13.0-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt. Build package with $ARCH, not noarch.
Fixed wrong path in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Merged fixes to xlander:

paused time being added to frame time.
Decrease lateral thrust, but increase initial lateral velocity, to better
match the original gameplay (DEC microVAX, early 1990s).
Don’t use unsigned (fix unsigned comparison warning).
Bump patchlevel.
Thanks to Gary Carvell.
Added 2.6.30.5 generic Linux kernel packages in /testing. Release time
is getting close, so we’re sticking with the 2.6.29.6 kernels as the main
kernels for Slackware 13.0. Besides, we know of at least one tricky issue
with 2.6.30.x and the LILO bootloader, and the workaround that we know of
likely isn’t going to work on BIOSes older than 2001. Be sure to read the
README_FIRST.TXT (really!) in the directory with the kernel packages if you
intend to try these.

This update fixes a bug in Pidgin’s MSN protocol implementation can allow
a remote attacker to send a malicious MSN message to a Pidgin user, which
will possibly cause arbitrary code to be executed as that user.
This issue was discovered by Federico Muttis of Core Security Technologies.
