Slamd64 is an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to the x86_64 architecture.
Release highlights:
- Updated to gcc 3.4.6, and now including gcj; unfortunately, including
gcj has forced me to drop -m32 support, as this seems to be
incompatabile with gcj. I'll be looking for ways to work around this
for the next release. In the meantime, I recommend using a Slackware
chroot for compiling 32-bit binaries.
- Added Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7
- Added Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.7
- Added Seamonkey 1.0.5
- Updated to udev 097; If installed, udev now replaces hotplug, and is
much faster.
- Now only one kernel is needed - huge26.s, based on 2.6.16.29
- Added pcmcicautils
- Added amarok (KDE media player)
- Added qca and qca-tls; this adds jabber support to kopete
- Added git and mercurial (version control systems)
- Added Ruby
- The latest version of the popular K Desktop Environment, KDE 3.5.4
- XFCE 4.2.3.2
- Apache 1.3.37
- mod_ssl 2.8.28
- PHP 4.4.4 in slackware/n/, and PHP 5.1.6 in extra/
- Lots of packages from Slackware that were missing in Slamd64 have
been added; see ChangeLog.txt for a full list.
Upgrade notes (see CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT for more information):
- alsa-drivers is now a separate package
- Be sure to merge in the new configuration files in /etc/rc.d,
otherwise things *WILL* break.
- The newer udev obsoletes /etc/hotplug/blacklist; use
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist instead
- X11 now depends on slackware/l/freetype and slackware/x/fontconfig
- PHP now depends on slackware/l/freetype
- Kopete now depends on slackware/kde/qca and slackware/kde/qca-tls
- apr, apr-util, and mm have been split out from Apache; Apache,
Subversion, and PHP will all depend on some of these.
- Subversion now depends on slackware/l/neon
- xfsprogs has been split into acl, attr, dmapi, xfsdump, xfsprogs
- GTK+2 applications now depend on slackware/l/cairo
- xvim has been replaced with vim-gvim, which depends on
slackware/a/vim
- The Mozilla suite has been replaced with Seamonkey
