3 Febbraio 2022 - Slackware 15.0
Oggi (2 febbraio alle 22:22 orario UTC) è stata finalmente rilasciata la Slackware 15.0. Vi aspettiamo nel forum per commentare. Happy fun :)
13 Gennaio 2022 - Slackware 15 RC3
Siamo arrivati alla terza, e a meno di sorprese, l'ultima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Da ora in poi ci saranno modifiche solo in caso di problemi seri, ma tutto lascia supporre che il 17 gennaio, come anticipato da Pat su LinuxQuestions, esca la tanto sospirata versione 15. Ti aspettiamo nel forum per parlarne.
16 Agosto 2021 - Slackware 15 RC1
È uscita stanotte la prima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Come ha scritto Pat si tratta di un "congelamento", a meno di bugfix. Questo significa che la 15.0 sarà rilasciata con i software nella versione presente in questa RC1, a meno appunto di bug trovati, o aggiornamenti di sicurezza.
15 Aprile 2021 - Slackware 15 beta
Qualche giorno fa Pat ha rilasciato un corposo aggiornamento definendolo beta. La data dell'uscita di Slackware 15 si fa sempre più vicina.

a/sysvinit-scripts-16.0-noarch-10.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.6: while "reboot -k" worked fine here for rebooting without kexec, it's
probably safer to use kexec to check if a kernel was loaded and only use
"reboot -k" if there is. Otherwise just use "reboot".
a/util-linux-2.42.4-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
/etc/pam.d/remote: restore pam_securetty.so here.
Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina.
ap/btop-1.4.8-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/slackpkg-16.0.1-noarch-3.txz: Rebuilt.
When grepping for package matches, put ^ at the beginning to avoid mismatches
(e.g. cups-browsed and sed).
Thanks to dislo.
n/libslirp-4.9.6-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
n/nfs-utils-3.1.1-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Build with --enable-libmount-mount to link mount.nfs{,4} with libmount.
This behaves better with user mounts.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger. - Sat, 24 Oct 2026 23:50:58 +0000

a/coreutils-9.12-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
/etc/DIR_COLORS: add kmscon to the list of colorizable TERM types.
a/kmscon-10.0.4-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
OK, this is pretty neat so we'll add it, but it won't be used by default.
You'll need to edit /etc/default/vtselect to enable it on some consoles.
I'd considered this unacceptable until mouse support was added to it late
last year, but that support still has some quirks copying from one console
to another, and it utterly refuses to copy a link displayed at the bottom
of a links session. CJK sure looks nice though, and the return of console
scrollback is great! I did run into issues trying to start Wayland from a
KMSCON, and X11 also would not start unless it was configured to allow
anybody (not just console users) and to run X11 as root. It's probably
better to just leave one regular fbcon console as a workaround for such uses.
In spite of the drawbacks, clearly some folks will find this to be useful.
Feel free to try it out.
Thanks to jtsn for getting me to check this out again.
a/libtsm-4.8.0-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
Needed by kmscon-10.0.4.
a/sysvinit-scripts-16.0-noarch-9.txz: Rebuilt.
/sbin/vtselect.sh: this is a script to start either an fbcon using
agetty, or a KMSCON.
/etc/default/vtselect: choose which consoles to run KMSCON on.
/etc/inittab: start consoles through /sbin/vtselect.sh.
a/util-linux-2.42.4-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
/etc/pam.d/login: don't use pam_securetty.so here. It's been deprecated for
some time now, and it blocks root from logging in on KMSCON unless the pts
devices are added to /etc/securetty. We'd rather not do that as it could
expose network daemons to root login attempts.
d/valgrind-3.28.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/librsvg-2.63.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

patches/packages/brotli-1.2.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Brotli decoder (c/dec/decode.c) in
Google Brotli versions 1.0.3 through 1.2.0 on all platforms allows a remote
unauthenticated attacker to corrupt adjacent decoder state memory, disclose
sensitive memory contents, cause a denial of service, or potentially execute
arbitrary code using a crafted Brotli-compressed stream.

Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition. - Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:33:15 +0000
