Java updates for 2024Q2

Three weeks ago, the quarterly (security and stability) updates to various Java source code repositories were released. This means, new packages for OpenJDK versions 8, 11 and 17 are now in my Slackware repository. It took a while but hey, here they are.
For OpenJDK 8 I still use icedtea to compile the Java sources because it is convenient. The more modern

So, #OpenBSD 7.5 has got a patch for libcrypto out:

003: RELIABILITY FIX: May 10, 2024
(All architectures)

A missing bounds check could lead to a crash in libcrypto.

And #Slackware 15 has got a new package for sg3_utils (1.47), which I did not even know existed... 🤔

"sg3_utils (utilities and test programs for the linux sg driver)
This package contains low level utilities for devices that use a SCSI command set."

All in all a relaxed Saturday.

Last I tried screwing around with #zfs, #KVM and #qemu on #slackware I had a bunch of fun with scripts from sbo and dependency hell – since neither is an official slack package.

How does this fare in 2024 if I were to try to get a headless host for my stuff (qubes-like but I like pain)?

The SlackBuild for Benben, my VGM player, has been updated to Benben v0.4.1. Almost forgot to update this 😅

The Crystal compiler needed to build it is included in the same repo.

OK, I really need to update this little machine to #Slackware 15 before the uptime goes to 365 days... 😅

I also refreshed what I’m calling the “pkg_dump” of #slackware #aarch64 package builds yesterday. There’s a shit-ton of stuff there, like a full gnome 46 desktop, and the latest Firefox 125.0.1, MAME, i3, sway, hyprland, etc. https://slackware.lngn.net/pub/aarch64/pkg_dump/

Finally going home after a whole day of meetings.

I'd like to update my #Slackware 15 VMs...

I also think I need to double-check my qemu installation, as 7.2.9 seems to be the last 7.x version (I have 7.2.7 installed).

I still have #NetBSD and #OpenBSD VMs to update or reinstall.

Thinking about setting up a #Slackware mirror.

SearxNG is definitely something I need to setup.

Also SNAC2 under Slackware.

Miss the good times when you could buy #slackware #linux install discs - either from Linux magazines or directly from the maintainer. I’m a bit nostalgic, one might say.

Updated the #nwgshell #slackware #aarch64 repo earlier with the python 3.11 upgrades, as well as pushed all the other updates needed in other repos. NOW I can focus on real updates like hyprland and updating the WebKit-gtk package and deps. Wee! https://slackware.lngn.net/

Initial python3.11 update pushed to the #nwgshell #slackware repo. I think it should all be good, I’ll fix up any issues later. It’s past my bed time now. Let me know if anything’s broken! 👍
