| * | New slackpkg installs a mirrors file with incorrect mirror enabled |   Eric Hameleers | 2021-02-15 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | Silence a few harmless error messages from chpasswd...We will catch the error anyway and invoke chpasswd with different syntax.

| * | The 'chpassword -R' segfaults in some cases, us a chroot as fallback | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-27 | 1 | -4/+12 |
| * | Use 'chpassword -R' instead of chrooting...According to bug report, this is now needed on Slackware 14.2 when
generating a -current Live ISO. PAM is probably to blame:
>chpasswd: (user root) pam_chauthtok() failed, error:
>Authentication token manipulation error
>chpasswd: (line 1, user root) password not changed

| * | XFCE: llvm libraries are needed by mesa DRI libraries unfortunately | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-17 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | DAW: add Console OS boot option | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-17 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | Implement a small Console OS - a rescue environment in RAM...This uses two squashfs modules that are currently only found in the
LEAN and XFCE images: 'min' and 'noxbase'.
These two provide a functional console-only Slackware with a lot of useful
programs. It will connect to a DHCP server automatically and it also
contains the 'setup2hd' script to be able to install Slackware from a network
mirror.
And since the Console OS gets loaded into RAM, you can remove your USB stick
after booting and use that stick for other purposes.
Use-case:
- You have one computer with a network connection and one USB stick, and want
to create a persistent Slackware Live on USB.
- Download an ISO supporting 'Console OS' to the computer's hard drive, and
transfer the ISO to the USB stick using the computer's ISO imaging tools,
making the stick bootable but not persistent.
- Boot from the USB stick, select the "Console OS in RAM" option.
- After you logged into the Console Slackware, mount the computer's hard drive.
- Use the 'iso2usb.sh' script that comes with liveslak to extract the ISO
content to the USB stick, making it persistent. See the README.txt for
instructions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implemented as an extension of the liveslak 'toram' boot parameter.
Adding 'toram=core' to the boot commandline will load circa 500 MB of squashfs
modules into RAM and boot into a sparse but functional console environment.
For supported Live variants (currently LEAN and XFCE) the script
'make_slackware_live.sh' will automatically add a menu item "Console OS in RAM"
to the Syslinux and Grub bootloaders, using this 'toram=core' parameter.
TODO: add this as an option to all liveslak variants. Not so trivial to do.

| * | Add Kwayland profile scripts to make Plasma Wayland behave better...Implementing LuckyCyborg's proposal from this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/requests-for-current-14-2-15-0-a-4175620463/page432.html#post6206168
Let's see whether this works.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.41.3.8.4 | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-06 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add a new live variant: LEAN...The new 'LEAN' variant of liveslak is a 1.5 GB ISO, containing
basic but powerful XFCE and Plasma5 desktop environments.
Useful if you want a small-ish Live OS but you feel that the XFCE ISO is
too seveery stripped for your purposes.

| * | Fix /etc/localtime file, needs to be a symlink | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-06 | 1 | -7/+5 |
| * | DAW: updated package lists and fixing menu icon display | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-06 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Some cosmetic changes to comments | Eric Hameleers | 2021-01-06 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | PLASMA5 variant renamed to KTOWN...Since Plasma5 is now actually a part of Slackware, renaming the old PLASMA5
variant to KTOWN signals where these packages are coming from.
The KTOWN variant will be used again once new development of ktown packages
commences (perhaps offering Plasma6).

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.3...Small version bump needed for a re-spin of the DAW ISO.
The new kernel enabled a PC Speaker driver which grabbed the
default hardware device and JACK does not work with it.
Patrick has now blacklisted snd-pcsp in the eudev package,
and all is well again.

| * | SLACKWARE: there is no more kdei package series | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-08 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Prepare for inclusion of Plasma5 into Slackware...Like with KDE4, apply the Plasma5 related configuration only (and always)
in case a Plasma5 installation is detected. This de-couples it from
supporting only specific variants like PLASMA5 or DAW, because SLACKWARE
will include Plasma5 as well.

| * | Only configure KDE4 if it is actually installed into the Live OS | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -43/+49 |
| * | Add a ~/.bashrc file for the user | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -0/+7 |
| * | Fix the help text for the '-t' parameter to make_slackware_live.sh | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | make_slackware_live.sh: expand the '-t' parameter functionality...Add a new value 'bloat'. Possible values are now:
-t <none|doc|mandoc|bloat>
With the documentation:
Trim the ISO (remove man and/or doc and/or bloat).
The 'value 'doc' will cause most of the documentation to be removed
(READMEs and LICENSE files will be retained). Using 'mandoc' will not just
remove documentation but additionally all man pages from the ISO.
The value 'bloat' removes a lot more, like static libraries, big shared
libraries, un-needed binaries etc. This is what is used by default when the
'XFCE' live variant is built to ensure that the ISO size stays below 700MB.
Note that from now on, you can build a XFCE ISO that has *nothing* pruned
at all! This will increase the size of the ISO, but if you were not going
to burn the ISO to a CDROM medium then that ISO size is not relevant anyway.
Example commandline:
# make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -t none -c zstd
This will generate a XFCE ISO without any 'bloat' removed, and using 'zstd'
compression instead of 'xz' which will increase the size with an additional
10% but will cause the Live OS to boot significantly faster due to faster
decompression speeds of zstd.

| * | Add 'rtl_nic' to network firmware list for PXE boot from a NFS root | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add package blacklist per variant...This was needed when new ibus based imput-methods were added to testing
'vtown' and all scim packages needed to be blacklisted.
Also, fixed a syntax issue in the package installation function.
| Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -1/+19 |
| * | XFCE: use mcpp as preprocessor to determine XDM login-box position...Since gcc was removed from the XFCE Live, but XDM needs a C Preprocessor
in order to calculate the position of the login box on the screen,
I added 'mcpp' as an external package. Mcpp is a small C preprocessor which
is sufficiently compatible with cpp.

| * | Some minor script polish | Eric Hameleers | 2020-12-05 | 1 | -9/+9 |
| * | setup2hd: major changes...- use $DIALOG instead of calling dialog; hopefully we can use Xdialog
at some time
- warn user if terminal is too small to display fdisk/gdisk interfaces
- improve installation time of squashfs modules to harddisk with a factor 6,
by using a different way to show progress
- tweak dialogs so that they show less empty space
- if possible, set sane default selections in menu's to make the installation
process smoother
- fix many small bugs in user account creation, password dialog, user config
extraction, removal of redundant configuration questions etc

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.7.21.3.7.2 | Eric Hameleers | 2020-10-24 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | setup2hd fixes and enhancements...DAW configuration is now properly copied
Extracting the Live OS to hard disk is roughly 10 times faster now,
after abandoning the fancy progress bar and just showing the rsync status.
Use an enhanced Slackware SeTpasswd to add a non-root user and set
the root password.
Various syntax and logic errors removed.
