New Entry: Mon Jan 24 20:41:03 PST 2005

this package is
New Entry: only intended to be installed at an initial installation,
and attempting
New Entry: to "upgrade" it later may copy over newer libraries and
cause damage to
New Entry: your system. Some broken upgrade tools haven't learned
this fact...
New Entry: a/pkgtools-10.1.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a couple bugs and sped
up pkgtool more.
New Entry: Thanks to Jim Hawkins and Lasse Collin for the pkgtool
patches.

spaces.

Linux-HOWTOs-20050124.
New Entry: kde/kdegraphics-3.3.2-i486-3.tgz: Added a patch for

patches.
New Entry: Thanks to Daniel de Kok.
New Entry: x/x11-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz: Applied CAN-2004-0914 patch to
libXpm. Unlikely to
New Entry: ever be used in the real world other than (also unlikely)
through a crash,
New Entry: but I'm trying to pay attention to detail. :-)
New Entry: (* Security fix *)
New Entry: x/x11-devel-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz: Applied CAN-2004-0914 patch
to libXpm.

xpdf crashes.
New Entry: extra/bittorrent/bittorrent-3.9.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded
to bittorrent-3.9.1.
New Entry: This is a beta, but the stable version does not work with
Python 2.4, so
New Entry: it seems prudent to switch (and it works fine here).
New Entry: zipslack/*: Updated for Slackware 10.1.
New Entry: +--------------------------+

[psych-major]

Since I checked it out earlier today and am running swaret as we speak. (Man, the net connection is slow here at the office...)

On a more serious note, per his 1/22 post, Pat is still struggling and should remain in our thoughts and prayers...

Check the last Change Log....Patrick reports on himself.
