As it already seems like I've been waiting years for S15,
I'll add a few extra just to be in the safe side:

Friday, September 13th, 2024. :-)

14.2 came out in at a time when my go2 distro Suse was making
releases almost monthly. So when I encountered a few poblems
with Slak-14.2 I just parked it thinking that a few months on the
outside and the next release would fix them all :-)

Well, I ain't waiting no more, the few months are up!

I'm still using Slackware 14.2 plus alienbob's repo in a netbook.
I don't need a newer system, pkgs are updated enough.
I upgraded MESA to 13.0.6 so I could get a slight performance boost,
and anyway compiling an LTS kernel it's dumb easy on Slackware.
I can wait a few weeks without no issues.

FWIW, one thing to consider, per the link below, 4.4 kernel
is EOL in Feb 2022.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history

But with that said, I am fine with waiting longer for a very
stable release :)

At my tire-kicking competence and pay level v-15 or even v-20
isn't going to make that much difference, but the mood surrounding
a new release does help to stir up some motivation to get better at
Slackware :-)

When I was a kid ALL new car models hit the showrooms on
the same day in September or so. Maaaan, were those the days!
The secrecy was breathtaking, EVERYONE was sticking their
noses to the dealership windows spotting for the moment they
would remove the canvas covers. '59 was beyond any doubt the
year of car-model years, the '59 Chevvy kept us stuck like suction
cups to the dealership window for hours

https://www.motorcities.org/images/SOTW_08.22.2018/1959_Chevrolet_ad_Tate_Collection.jpg

But not all models showed up at every dealer right away. In my
little town we would not eexperience first visual contact until a later
snowy evening with that 'spaceship' that just cruised by with tail lights
(for us barely below eye level) just a touch on the purple-side of red.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IKIPxdmiBwg/maxresdefault.jpg

*Something like that*, when a new Slackware hits the streets :-)

We don't use 4.4 kernel in current, in fact -current has not used 4.4
since, I think 5 years.

We had an update a few days ago 5.15.18

I think John was referring to the kernel in Slackware 14.2, which was
last updated to Linux 4.4.276 on Tue Jul 20 23:23:58 CDT 2021

Correct, not that I like to speculate on release dates, but
to me Feb is when v15 will hit unless 14.2 kernel is upgraded
to a supported release.

There's supposed to be a new glibc today or so. I guess it would be way
too late to take that, right? That would count as too major a change for
a freeze? I'm curious how much of a headache it is to upgrade the c
library, since I'm about to attempt it on my linux from scratch
partition.

I think uprading glibc is a big PITA, but I never attempted it.
Others here will probably know for sure.

My guess would be sooner than that.

He certainly deserves some dough, having terrifically
mainatined slackware for just about 30 years now.
And he, and other maintainers, certainly got screwed
by that slackware store debacle. Anybody got any
reasonable idea how much he's been making via paypal,
etc, since that slackware store story broke?

It's sure upgrading libc is scary however it's not PITA. It has
potential for FUBAR though. Just remember, the potential is just this
-- potential. Whatever could possibly go wrong can be fixed.

p.s. Yes, I had screwed up when aaa-libraries had been renamed. Fixed,
secured procedures, and developed more habits.

p.p.s. I'm not helping here, am I?

I would hope that he recovers ten times over although I
can vouch for the fact that such is totally impossible.

For me does not matter :)

These days, I have no intention of upgrading anything like glibc
or even the Kernel. I let the Slackware Team worry about those
things, I find feeding this far easier for me and my sanity.

Many years ago, probably on Slackware 3.0 or Slackware 3.1 I did upgrade
glibc for some reason. Everything seemed fine for some hour but then I
started getting complaints that nobody was able to login...

I reverted that upgrade and have never attempted to upgrade glibc again
since then.

No, it's helpful. This isn't my slackware partition only my linux from
scratch one, so it's useful to know it's a "learning exercise" vs. me
likely having to start over in the book. The book itself recommends
starting over when changing glibc+compiler, but the appendices in glibc
info and faq don't make it sound THAT bad. Maybe I need to figure out
how to distinguish glibc headers vs. non-glibc headers to clean out
headers no longer in the new library, but they seem to be commented
consistently. And there are some things going on in recent glibc shared
object files with merging libraries and changing how symlinks are done
(or not done). That should be interesting.

I guess it's clear slackware 15.0 won't take the new libc. Sounds like
release is imminent.
