不确切消息:Slackware创始人Volkerding病情恶化

消息来源:OSNEWS
Slackware's Volkerding's situation worsening?
  Posted by Eugenia Loli-Queru on 2004-11-21 20:54:59 UTC, submitted by bisserke

According to a post in the Dropline forums (*unconfirmed*), Pat's situation is not getting any better. Apparently his treating doctors at the Mayo Clinic are becoming convinced that Pat suffers from Marfan's syndrome, a rather serious genetic disorder. We hope the best for Pat.

让我们期望他会快点好起来吧!!1

希望他早日康复,也许中医能帮他。本来还满心欢喜的等着slack10.1呢,不清楚slack是不是就Patrick一人负责。也希望有人尽快接受他的工作。

Slackware的开发有很多人,但只有三人是付薪水的。

slackware 10.1 pre-release

Sat Dec 18 23:22:21 PST 2004
" "

Hi folks. Well, I'm back in California and I'm happy to let you all know
that I'm feeling much better. :-) Here are a few updates so you can see
that I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully 10.1 won't
be too far off (I'm still trying to figure out just how far behind we are,
and what other fixes need to get merged in), and then we can look at what
exactly needs to be done to try to switch over to the new kernel series for
11, or sometime later on. I still don't think it's time for that yet (it
will be best to wait until 2.4 can be abandoned). Besides, I should
probably be trying to take it easy as much as I can.
There's no need to try for an encore...

I offer my thanks and gratitude to the many people who sent me kind words
and good advice, or indeed anything at all. I figure it was all for a
reason, and that there were always lessons to be learned. Hopefully I'll
learn them now! ;-)

Most of these fine people will remain anonymous, however, one of my
doctors was Leonardo Faoro, a medical resident at the Mayo Clinic. He's
running a support site for cancer patients at:
       http://www.cancerforums.net
and if you feel his site might be useful for yourself or anyone you know,
please spread the word about it. Leo is a good guy and one heck of a
great doctor, and giving his site a little plug here is the least I can do.
He didn't ask for it, but don't think he'll mind.

Very best wishes to all, good luck in 2005, and THANKS AGAIN!,
It's good to be back. :-)

I think I've been helped now, so this text file won't hang
around forever, but I'll leave it at

       http://slackware.com/~volkerdi/PAT-NEEDS-YOUR-HELP.txt

for a little while in case anyone is still interested.
It's the closest thing to a blog I've ever done. (ooooo! ;-)

Take care,

Pat

"Netcraft does not yet confirm it"

Hi again, everyone. I wish I could report that I'm doing great
and will be back to full health soon, but I can't. Possibly due to
the antibiotics I've already taken, the doctors I've seen have been
unable to find signs of infection, and my blood ESR is normal.
Nevertheless, the signs of complications from an infection are quite
clear. I've had a number of pulmonary "pops" that are either burst
lung abscesses or blebs, and things have spread in a bad way. A
thickening of my pleura has been noted, as well as pericarditis.
Most disturbing of all, I have developed mitral valve prolapse and
regurgitation. I've had a fever and soaking night sweats. I can't
stand for too long without getting faint. Lately I've been spending
a lot of my time on the floor. I have no history of heart problems
and when I got the first chest pains (crushing ones) I went to the
ER immediately. This was on 11/10. They found nothing wrong and
sent me away. The next day I saw an internal medicine MD who gave me
a complete exam including carefully listening for heart problems, and
found nothing wrong. The pain continued, and by the time I got to
the Mayo I had heart trouble so obvious that nobody has failed to
recognize it since. However, it's been a problem getting anyone to
consider that this is a new problem. Most of the people I've seen
think that they are the first to notice it and that everyone before
them must have missed it, and that I've certainly had it my whole life.
But having recently had a major infection and fever and developing a
new murmur and chest pains I'd think it would be only prudent to
treat this as complicated infective endocarditis. I've been to
another different ER with more crushing chest pains since then and
have begged for a needle biopsy to check the plural fluid for empyema,
but nobody will do this diagnostic either. I've verified online that
it's not only possible to have a normal ESR and infective endocarditis
but that patients that present that way have a statistically worse
outcome (maybe because nobody will treat it). Anyway, I'm still
hoping to get the treatment that I'm sure I need, but if there's an
insistance on clinical proof first and treatment second, the proof
might be found at autopsy time. Oh, I've also finally flunked an ECG
after several normal ones and at least pericarditis is now proven.
Now, to clear up a few things. In my initial report I mistakenly
reported that I'd taken 60 days of Cipro for a pulmonary infection.
(hey, I was up late freaking out a bit) This might not have been
for as long a period of time, and it was actually to treat a
relapse of prostatitis (and yes, that does require a long course).
As for those who say I should stop trying to diagnose myself: I am
trying to get doctors to diagnose this ongoing problem. Meanwhile,
it is only wise to try to figure out what's going on myself, and to
get input from as many sources as I possibly can. After all,
sometimes the cavalry just isn't coming. Or as the old (I think
Russian) proverb says: "ray to God, but keep rowing to shore."

I built a few updates to get my mind on happier things. Maybe I'll
have time to look at the kernel sometime soon, too, but getting my
health back remains the A-number-1 priority here.

Also, Bruno H Collovini and Piter Punk in Brazil have been helping
to build security updates for Slackware while I'm (mostly) out of
commission. They've helped with Slackware for many years and I
trust and authorize their patches. These can be found here:

       http://www.slackware.org.br/~patrick/WORKGUS/

Thanks to everyone who has offered to help, and sent get well soon
and other kind emails. I really appreciate it. I'm also grateful
for many of the suggestions on how to boost my immune system with
natural products (hey, that oregano oil can't hurt and tastes
pretty good! :-). I'm going to have to request that the phone
calls stop unless it's for a really good reason, as I've had more
calls than I can possibly return at this point.

All the best (and to those in the US, happy Thanksgiving),

Pat

PS My primary development box just mostly locked up on me, so I'll
probably be unable to do additional updates (or at least sign them
properly) until I can get back to CA. What I can and will do is to
run a top-level CHECKSUMS.md5, and then sign that with my GPG key.

PPS Please do not post emails from me without my permission.
       Thanks.

       in apache-1.3.32). The second bug fixed in 1.3.3 (CAN-2004-0940) allows a
       local user who can create SSI documents to become "nobody". The amount of
       mischief they could cause as nobody seems low at first glance, but it might

kde/koffice-1.3.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to koffice-1.3.4.
kde/qt-3.3.3-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. Note that this includes the change
       previously in /testing where the libqt.so -> libqt-mt.so symlinks have
       been removed. (this shouldn't affect any recent binaries, but might
       break some old ones)
kdei/*.tgz: Upgraded to kde-i18n-3.3.1 and koffice-i18n-1.3.4.

a/glibc-solibs-2.3.3-i486-2.tgz: Updated from CVS. Added the files
       in /usr/lib/gconv to glibc-solibs. (thanks to Tomas Matejicek)
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.3-noarch-2.tgz: Updated from CVS.
a/udev-035-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to udev-035.
       Thanks to ismail donmez and Jakub Jankowski for pointing out some
       problems with pty handling in the previous udev.rules config file.
a/util-linux-2.12g-i486-2.tgz: Put the adjtimex docs in the
       proper directory (thanks to Stuart Winter).
d/doxygen-1.3.9.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to doxygen-1.3.9.1.
l/glibc-2.3.3-i486-2.tgz: Updated from CVS.

n/getmail-4.2.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to getmail-4.2.2.
n/netatalk-2.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to netatalk-2.0.0.
n/rsync-2.6.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.3.
       From the rsync NEWS file:
       A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted
       rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get
       transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for
       file-transfer names). If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot
       disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run
       rsync under is anything above "nobody".
       Note that rsync, in daemon mode, sets the "use chroot" to true by
       default, and (in this default mode) is not vulnerable to this issue.
       I would strongly recommend against setting "use chroot" to false
       even if you've upgraded to this new package.
       (* Security fix *)
n/sendmail-8.13.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with -DSOCKETMAP.
       Recommended by Catalin(ux aka Dino) BOIE.
n/sendmail-cf-8.13.1-noarch-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
xap/fvwm-2.4.19-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to fvwm-2.4.19.
xap/gaim-1.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.0.1.
xap/gftp-2.0.17-i486-1.tgz: Moved from /gnome. Apparently gftp
       doesn't require any of the GNOME libraries. I've heard that
       AbiWord can also be built so that it does not require GNOME
       libraries but haven't had much luck getting it to work that
       way. Does anyone know how to do that? How about a GNOMEless
       gnumeric (I suspect that's not possible, but...)?
extra/bison-1.875d/bison-1.875d-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bison-1.875d.
pasture/fvwm95-2.0.43ba-i386-2.tgz: Moved to /pasture.

       Kit Standard Edition, Version 1.5.0.
gnome/gst-plugins-0.8.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against new libFLAC.
l/zlib-1.2.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to zlib-1.2.2. This fixes a
       possible DoS in earlier versions of zlib-1.2.x.
       (* Security fix *)
n/dhcp-3.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dhcp-3.0.1.
n/getmail-4.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to getmail-4.2.0. Earlier
       versions contained a local security flaw when used in an insecure
       fashion (surprise, running something as root that writes to user-
       controlled files or directories could allow the old symlink attack
       to clobber system files! :-) From the getmail CHANGELOG:
       This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does
       not deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local
       users, or if getmail is configured to use an external
       unprivileged MDA. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable.
       Most users would not use getmail in such as way as to be vulnerable
       to this flaw, but if your site does this package closes the hole.
       I'd also recommend not using getmail like this. Either run it as the
       user that owns the target mailbox, or deliver through an external MDA.
       (* Security fix *)
n/sendmail-8.13.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.1.
n/sendmail-cf-8.13.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.1 configs.
xap/mozilla-plugins-1.7.3-noarch-2.tgz: Point the libjavaplugin_oji.so
       symlink at the new Java plugin.
xap/xine-lib-1rc6a-i686-2.tgz: Recompiled against new libFLAC.
xap/xmms-1.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Added arts_output-0.7.1 aRts output plugin.

Fri Sep 24 00:43:51 PDT 2004
n/bind-9.3.0-i486-2.tgz: Fixed missing libbind9.so.0.0.4.
       Thanks to Alan Brantley and Catalin(ux aka Dino) BOIE for the
       quick heads-up!
+--------------------------+
Thu Sep 23 18:11:17 PDT 2004
d/automake-1.9.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU automake-1.9.2.
d/libtool-1.5.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU libtool-1.5.10.
d/oprofile-0.8.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to oprofile-0.8.1.
       (Suggested by Michael Iatrou)
l/gmp-4.1.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU gmp-4.1.4.
n/bind-9.3.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.0.
xap/xsane-0.96-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xsane-0.96.
bootdisks/sata.i: Rebuilt (see below).
bootdisks/speakup.s: Rebuilt (fixed missing speakup support).
extra/k3b/k3b-0.11.17-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to k3b-0.11.17.
extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre22_2.4.27-i486-1.tgz:
       Upgraded to linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre22 (compiled for Linux 2.4.27).
extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre22_2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz
       Upgraded to linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre22 (compiled for Linux 2.6.8.1).
       Thanks to Leopold Midha for suggesting these upgrades.
extra/parted/parted-1.6.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU parted-1.6.15.
kernels/sata.i/: Removed Silicon Image ATA support since it interferes
       with the libata SATA driver. This also removes support for the PATA
       CMD640 chipset, since that's part of the old Silicon Image ATA driver.
       Thanks to Miha Verlic for pointing out this incompatibility.
kernels/speakup.s/: Fixed missing speakup support.
isolinux/initrd.img, isolinux/network.dsk, isolinux/pcmcia.dsk,
rootdisks/install.*, rootdisks/network.dsk, rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk:
       Updated kernel modules to 2.4.27. Allow the location of network.dsk to be
       provided on the network script command line (suggested by Daniel de Kok).
+--------------------------+
Sun Sep 19 16:33:44 PDT 2004
a/cups-1.1.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cups-1.1.21. This fixes a flaw
       where a remote attacker can crash the CUPS server causing a denial of
       service.
       For more details, see:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0558
       (* Security fix *)
a/glibc-solibs-2.3.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.3.3. This is from
       a CVS snapshot taken in early August. The official glibc-2.3.3 tarball
       was released in such an obsolete condition (a snapshot from 8 months ago)
       that I'd be surprised if any Linux distributions actually package it.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.3.3.
a/minicom-2.1-i486-2.tgz: Fixed install script to install the config
       files in /etc properly. (thanks to Piter PUNK)
a/pkgtools-10.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Changed the keyboard driver in the sample
       /etc/X11/xorg.conf files from "Keyboard" to "kbd".
a/kernel-ide-2.4.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.27 kernel.
a/kernel-modules-2.4.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.27 kernel modules.
ap/sudo-1.6.8p1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to sudo-1.6.8p1.

       Linux 2.4.27.

l/glibc-i18n-2.3.3-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to glibc-2.3.3 i18n files.

l/gtk+2-2.4.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.10. This fixes security
       issues in the image loader routines that can crash applications.
       (* Security fix *)
l/pango-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to pango-1.6.0.
n/iproute2-2.6.9_ss040831-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to iproute2-2.6.9-ss040831.
n/nail-11.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nail-11.7.
n/nmap-3.70-i486-2.tgz: Fixed missing docs translations.
       (thanks to Alex)
n/php-4.3.8-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled using --enable-exif in addition to
       --with-exif. Thanks to Niels Heinis for the tip.
n/proftpd-1.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Fixed slack-desc (thanks to Stuart Winter).
x/x11*6.8.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to X.Org's X11R6.8.1 release.
       Note that the name of the keyboard driver in the xorg.conf file has
       changed from "Keyboard" to "kbd". You'll need to make this change in
       order to start X.
xap/gaim-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-1.0.0.
xap/imagemagick-6.0.8_1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.8-1.
       Removed spurious libtool library (thanks to Mark Post).
xap/mozilla-1.7.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.3.
       The Mozilla page says this fixes some "minor security holes".
       It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have
       still not appeared. In light of this, I think it's time to remove
       these Gecko-based browsers. The future is going to be Firefox and
       Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be
       compiled against Firefox's libraries.
       (* Security fix *)
xap/mozilla-plugins-1.7.3-noarch-1.tgz: Changed plugin symlinks for
       Mozilla 1.7.3.
xap/xine-lib-1rc6a-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc6a.
       This release fixes a few overflows that could have security implications.
       (* Security fix *)
xap/xlockmore-5.13-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xlockmore-5.13.
xap/xscreensaver-4.18-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xscreensaver-4.18.
bootdisks/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.27 bootdisks (and added sata.i).
extra/bittornado/bittornado-0.3.7-noarch-1.tgz: Added BitTornado
       0.3.7, an alternate BitTorrent client based on Bram's mainline
       BitTorrent code.

extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-1.21-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to
       slacktrack-1.21_2.
kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.27 kernels (and added sata.i).
pasture/apsfilter-7.2.5-i386-2.tgz: The apsfilter print configuration
       tool has been moved to /pasture.
pasture/ifhp-3.5.11-i486-1.tgz: Moved ifhp to /pasture. This is a
       print filter for LPRng (see below).
pasture/libxml-1.8.17-i486-3.tgz: Added a static libxml1, needed to
       compile some ham software.
pasture/lprng-3.8.27-i486-1.tgz: Moved LPRng to /pasture. These days
       most people want to run CUPS which has more or less taken over the
       printing scene as the defacto standard print system. LPRng will
       continue to be maintained here, but getting it out of the main
       installation will end the annoying problem of it overwriting the
       symlinks for CUPS and breaking it.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/alsa-driver-1.0.6a_2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz:
       Compiled alsa-driver package for Linux 2.6.8.1.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.8.1/kernel-generic-2.6.8.1-i486-1.tgz:
       Upgraded to Linux 2.6.8.1 kernel.

n/dnsmasq-2.14-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.14.
n/getmail-4.1.5-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to getmail-4.1.5.
n/proftpd-1.2.10-i486-1.tgz: Maybe I was a little too harsh on this
       project (especially as they've now addressed all the known problems
       with the latest release). I don't think it deserved to be
       /pasture-ized after all, and have moved it back to the N series.
       Vsftpd will also remain in N, so you can take your pick...
n/samba-3.0.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.7.
       This fixes two Denial of Service vulnerabilities.
       For more details, see:

xap/imagemagick-6.0.7_3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.7-3.
testing/packages/kde-3.3/kde/*.tgz: Rebuilt all KDE packages, and
       fixed a couple build problems with kdemultimedia and kdebindings.
testing/packages/kde-3.3/kde/qt-3.3.3-i486-2.tgz: Removed the
       libqt.so -> libqt-mt.so symlinks. These were a kludge added to help
       run third party binaries that link with libqt rather than libqt-mt,
       but now it's breaking things like the kdebindings build. The symlinks
       were meant to allow some time to transition to the threaded Qt without
       breaking existing apps. Hopefully not many broken apps are still left.
testing/packages/gcc-3.4.2/gcc*-3.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gcc-3.4.2.

Tue Sep 7 18:38:29 PDT 2004
xap/fluxbox-0.9.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to fluxbox-0.9.10.
       This is the development version, but they say it's stable, so
       I'll defer to upstream judgement.
pasture/fluxbox-0.1.14-i386-1.tgz: Moved to /pasture.
       This is still officially the current stable version, but the
       developers say it's old and unmaintained, so off to /pasture it goes.
+--------------------------+
Mon Sep 6 20:39:43 PDT 2004
l/aspell-0.60-i486-2.tgz: Fixed missing pre* tools.
l/aspell-en-6.0_0-noarch-2.tgz: Upgraded to aspell6-en-6.0-0.
       (Since all the word list packages needed to be rebuilt, but not
       all had upgraded versions, they were all given a build of '2')
extra/aspell-word-lists/: Rebuilt all word lists, and added many
       new ones.
extra/bash-completion/bash-completion-20040711-noarch-1.tgz:

a/glibc-solibs-2.3.2-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled using 'strip -g' rather than
       'strip --strip-unneeded' to avoid stripping symbols that are needed for
       debugging threads. Thanks to those who reported this bug, especially
       Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez who sent in a sample thread program that made
       it easy to test for the problem (and confirm the fix worked).
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.2-noarch-7.tgz: Rebuilt.
a/hdparm-5.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to hdparm-5.7.
ap/zsh-4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to zsh-4.2.1.
d/m4-1.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU m4-1.4.2.
kde/kdebase-3.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched frame injection vulnerability in
       Konqueror. For more details, see:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0721
       (* Security fix *)
kde/kdelibs-3.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched unsafe temporary directory usage,
       cross-domain cookie injection vulnerability for certain country
       specific domains, and frame injection vulnerability in Konqueror.
       For more details, see:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0689

l/glibc-i18n-2.3.2-noarch-7.tgz: Recompiled.
l/gtk+2-2.4.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.9.
n/gnupg-1.2.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gnupg-1.2.6.
n/inetd-1.79s-i486-7.tgz: Added a vsftpd example to /etc/inetd.conf.
n/lftp-3.0.7-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-3.0.7.
n/nmap-3.70-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nmap-3.70.
n/vsftpd-2.0.1-i486-1.tgz: Added vsftpd as Slackware's new default ftpd.
       This may not have the rich feature set of ProFTPD, but simple is
       probably more secure. Thanks to Laurens Vets for getting me to take
       another look at this.
xap/imagemagick-6.0.6_2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.6-2.
extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-debug-2.3.2-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled.
extra/glibc-extra-packages/glibc-profile-2.3.2-i486-7.tgz: Recompiled.
extra/grub/grub-0.95-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to version 1.24 of Kent Robotti's
       grubconfig setup tool.
extra/k3b/k3b-i18n-0.11-noarch-2.tgz: Fixed path for locale files.
pasture/proftpd-1.2.9-i486-3.tgz: Sent to /pasture. This has been allowed
       to slide way too much for a network service. A security issue was
       discovered in April (and was patched in Slackware and elsewhere shortly
       thereafter). It took a couple of weeks for any warning to appear on the
       ProFTPD site (with no official fix, just a suggestion to avoid the
       vulnerable feature). Since then it's been fixed in CVS but there is
       still no official stable release that fixes the issue. I liked ProFTPD,
       but won't put up with security negligence that goes on for months.
       Clearly ProFTPD's time is up, and it belongs here in /pasture.
       If there's any problem with vsftpd (and I don't expect there will be),
       you can bet that Chris Evans won't take 4 months to do something about it.
testing/packages/kde-3.3/: Added KDE 3.3. This is in testing/ because of
       a few problems I've had with it (like crashes on logout, and no anti-
       aliased fonts no matter what kpersonalizer settings are chosen).
       I think it's a good idea to test it for a while and wait for patches
       (or for kde-3.3.1). Oh, I'm also getting requests to add libidn, which
       kde-3.3 apparently can use for jabber support, but libidn contains the
       following warning in README-alpha:
       "LIBIDN IS MOST LIKELY INSECURE. DO NOT USE IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!"
       As a result, I haven't added libidn yet. I haven't ruled it out entirely
       either, but it's hard to get past a warning like that...

xap/gaim-0.82.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gaim-0.82.1 to fix a couple of bugs
       in the gaim-0.82 release. Also, gaim-encryption-2.29 did not work with
       gaim-0.82 (or 0.82.1), so that has been upgraded to gaim-encryption-2.30.

       Fixes several security issues:
       Content-length DOS (malloc error) (no CAN ID on this one)
       MSN strncpy buffer overflow (CAN-2004-0500)

       Smiley theme installation lack of escaping (CAN-2004-0784)

extra/grub/grub-0.95-i486-1.tgz: Added GNU grub-0.95.
       Thanks to Kent Robotti for the grubconfig setup tool. :-)
       I did some cleanup on grubconfig, but it's going to need more work.
       For example, it's unable to properly determine the mappings for my
       two hard drives /dev/hde and /dev/hdg... it's a start, though.

       widely used within the system, so all sites should upgrade to the

Pat is getting well!

New Entry:  Sat Dec 18 23:22:21 PST 2004
New Entry:  "  "
New Entry:
New Entry:  Hi folks.  Well, I'm back in California and I'm happy to let you all know
New Entry:  that I'm feeling much better.  :-)  Here are a few updates so you can see
New Entry:  that I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  Hopefully 10.1 won't
New Entry:  be too far off (I'm still trying to figure out just how far behind we are,
New Entry:  and what other fixes need to get merged in), and then we can look at what
New Entry:  exactly needs to be done to try to switch over to the new kernel series for
New Entry:  11, or sometime later on.  I still don't think it's time for that yet (it
New Entry:  will be best to wait until 2.4 can be abandoned).  Besides, I should
New Entry:  probably be trying to take it easy as much as I can.
New Entry:  There's no need to try for an encore...
New Entry:
New Entry:  I offer my thanks and gratitude to the many people who sent me kind words
New Entry:  and good advice, or indeed anything at all.  I figure it was all for a
New Entry:  reason, and that there were always lessons to be learned.  Hopefully I'll
New Entry:  learn them now!  ;-)
New Entry:
New Entry:  Most of these fine people will remain anonymous, however, one of my
New Entry:  doctors was Leonardo Faoro, a medical resident at the Mayo Clinic.  He's
New Entry:  running a support site for cancer patients at:
New Entry:      http://www.cancerforums.net
New Entry:  and if you feel his site might be useful for yourself or anyone you know,
New Entry:  please spread the word about it.  Leo is a good guy and one heck of a
New Entry:  great doctor, and giving his site a little plug here is the least I can do.
New Entry:  He didn't ask for it, but don't think he'll mind.
New Entry:
New Entry:  Very best wishes to all, good luck in 2005, and THANKS AGAIN!,
New Entry:  It's good to be back.  :-)
New Entry:
New Entry:  I think I've been helped now, so this text file won't hang
New Entry:  around forever, but I'll leave it at
New Entry:
New Entry:    http://slackware.com/~volkerdi/PAT-NEEDS-YOUR-HELP.txt
New Entry:
New Entry:  for a little while in case anyone is still interested.
New Entry:  It's the closest thing to a blog I've ever done.  (ooooo!  ;-)
New Entry:
