kde/polkit-kde-1-r1145544-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to prevent an annoying crash report at logout/shutdown.
l/t1lib-5.1.2-i486-2.txz: Added.
Well, it looks as if this library is less obsolete than was rumored, so
we’ve added it back for the time being. Eventually most things will be
converted to use Freetype or other libraries, but until then…
n/bluez-4.91-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
n/php-5.3.6-i486-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Restored –with-t1lib=/usr.

a/jfsutils-1.1.15-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.6-i486-10.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed unify_libs() function and loop.
Thanks to Francisco Ambrozio and zux for the bug report,
and Eric Hameleers for the patch.
a/procps-3.2.8-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to avoid “Unknown HZ value!” at boot.
Thanks to Audrius Kazukauskas.
l/t1lib-5.1.2-i486-1.txz: Removed.
There is little use these days for Type 1 fonts and the library is not
maintained. If anyone really needs this, fetch it from Slackware 13.1.
n/curl-7.21.4-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Fixes PHP curl extension.
Thanks to Korneliusz Jarzebski.

d/git-1.7.4.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.

a/btrfs-progs-20110327-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
In fsck.btrfs script, don’t check a filesystem that’s mounted as /, even if
it is mounted read-only. This fix allows using btrfs as a root filesystem,
but /boot will still need to be on another partition using ext2 (or some
other filesystem) as btrfs is tricky to boot directly.
Thanks to gerasimos_h.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.6-i486-9.txz: Rebuilt.
Avoid an infinite loop copying libraries to the initrd-tree in the case that
preload or LD_PRELOAD are used.
