Slackware 1288 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Upgraded OpenSSL packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, and -current. These fix two potential denial-of-service issues in earlier versions of OpenSSL.

We recommend sites that use OpenSSL upgrade to the fixed packages right away.

stpkg-0.5a for Slackware Linux has been released

From the author:
You can download stp on sourceforge:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ftpkg/stpkg-0.5a-noarch-1.tgz?download

note: "stp" means please :): it doesnt cost anything to be polite with your system.

one command to search, compare, download, build or install and update packages from slackware , linuxpackages.net, gnu.org and sourceforge.net mirrors, .deb .rpm and tar archives from anywhere, tracking dependencies (and much more)

using any livecd you can use stp to update machines from any distribution to slackware, or install a full slackware distribution with one command line

slacktrack, slapt-get, stp and swaret..
im not alone... although when i started stp in february 2003 it was less obvious :):

anyway (or maybe because of this) i'll continue to regulary spend some time for it as im free to spend as much time i want for it. Life is beautiful :): version 0.5 of the Slackware stp package manager is out !

i'll adapt it to another distribution. i want a unique command able to install all the main packages formats on any distribution. people could help me adapt it or extend it for what they are using. basically if there is a command to install/remove/update a package on your distribution that's easy to do so

mail me if you need assistance using stp

regards,

Samba Version 3.0.0
Samba is an SMB file and print server for SMB and CIFS clients. It allows you to make file space or printers on a Samba host available to any PCs running SMB clients (such as PCs running Windows). If you have any SMB servers (such as Windows NT/2K Server), you may be able to replace them by or supplement them with Samba. One of Samba's big strengths is integration, so you can use it to tie together your Linux hosts and Windows PC clients.
