Security Update: pcre
One security update was released for Slackware 14.0 and newer along with other update in Slackware-Current. Since my last post, Pat is working on approving most of the requests made on LQ and polishing next Slackware release.
If you look at Distrowatch, Slackware-current is mostly green, meaning it contains the latest version available.
Here are the changelog that i missed since my last post:
Wed Nov 25 06:36:06 UTC 2015
a/aaa_elflibs-14.2-i586-7.txz: Rebuilt.
Added libudev.so.1.
a/eudev-3.1.5-i586-6.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.udev: create all static modes in /dev before starting udevd.
Thanks to Robby Workman.
Support loading additional devices from /etc/udev/devices.
Set correct permissions on /dev/ppp.
a/pkgtools-14.2-noarch-4.txz: Rebuilt.
installpkg: calculate installed package size using numfmt.
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-24.txz: Rebuilt.
In rc.K and rc.6, don't kill mdmon. If it's running at shutdown, it needs
to stay up through the shutdown of userspace in order to prevent a hang
followed by the rebuilding of the RAID array after the power is cycled.
Thanks to Csaba Biegl.
l/pcre-8.38-i586-1.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed overflows that could lead to a denial of service or the execution
of arbitrary code.

a/lilo-24.2-i586-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-23.txz: Rebuilt.
rc.6: Don't clear /var/lock/subsys.
rc.S: Clear /var/lock/subsys here instead, so that the directory will be
cleared out on startup after a power failure.
rc.sysvinit: Run kill scripts for the current, not previous, runlevel.
Thanks to Sl4ck3ver.
a/upower-0.9.23-i586-2.txz: Rebuilt.

Fix warnings with perl-5.22.0. Thanks to Stuart Winter.
d/llvm-3.7.0-i586-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Build using cmake and clang. This results in a smaller package size, fixes
compiler-rt, and changes the shared library name from libLLVM-3.7.so to
libLLVM.so.3.7.0 (which requires recompiling any binaries linked to libLLVM).
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
