xfe-1.37-x86_64-JL64.sfs
uploaded delta patches (150810deltas.tar.gz)
fix 3_devextra64-603.sfs missing python bindings;
update dillo bookmarks;
edited profile.sfs: .mozilla/icecat sqlite files
py2cairo, sox & wavpack builtin_files added to /root/,packages in basefile;
edit midsums in pkglist & verify iso;
modify & sync grub.cfg & isolinux.cfg - default: noautosave, 2nd menu: xorgwizard
uploaded VLC-2.0.6-x86_64-2.sfs builtin_files added to /root/,packages;
uploaded vintage vbox (Vbox-4.3.20-JL64_603.sfs) fixed to accomodate new kernel;
uploaded 150804JL64-603.iso
note: Should you download the latest iso, it will be best to create a new savefile or rootfs save. If you have another JL64-603.sfs file in your system, grub2 will use it. Either rename the file or bury it more than one directory deep.
devx is no longer required for many compilation/build needs (including kernel builds). The documentation which was on the original lighthouse devx and gtkdocs is on the documentation.sfs addon, as are the man pages. Extra locales are on NLS_base addon, a bit of a misnomer as language packs are still pretty limited. individual packs are available in ppm & gslapt.
150731
uploaded kernel package (k4.1.3.tar.gz) & sources;
now with kernel 4.1.3 handles/loads modules better than previous kernels;
uploaded delta patch (DeltaPatch-150731.tar.gz) for base file:
- modified symlinks in usr/lib64 for gnutls & nettle;
upgraded fakeroot

fixed 'click-to-verify-mariner';
trimmed redundancies in documentation.sfs

Re-release of JL64-602f: (150714)
Uploaded JL64-602f.iso and sfs files to the Mariner602-b2 directory at g-drive. It is a somewhat tweaked May 29th basefile which still has systemd and udev. Netboot works on it. The builtin_files directory and pkglist are still incomplete. I'll make a patch when I can get around to it. Cups should work ootb (at least it does for me).
Re-release of JL64-603g: (150703)
- *upgraded wine to 1.7.23
*downgraded to cups 1.54.3
*first-run now sets up default browser and calls up the printer wizard (cups html interface)
*Because of unique python bindings, devx must currently be loaded to run system-config-printer (see note 1)
*fixed legacy boot (for isolinux)
*Systemd no longer auto-loads at boot up
*Moved netboot to systemd addon until gtk problem opening dnsmasq is settled (see note 2)
*Current samba has been successfully tested with winXP
*New busybox & glib/gcc in initrd.xz
*integrated lighthouse update with gslapt for slackware packages
2) Also presume the problem with netboot relates to ossl/ssh 'security' upgrades in JL64. May be fixed with dnsmasq configuration - which is why I changed from v2.66 to v2.57 (actually newer and more configurable).
A reminder, the browsers in the menu run as spot. Those in wbar run as root.

___________________
(150620) JL64-603:
- * This release consists largely of bug fixes unsuitable for further patching JL64-602.
* PPM_auto2 is now fully functional.
* Musher's slocate gui is the preferred search database.
* Brought back Lighthouse update with two lines of script changed so that 'update file list' closes down lhp-update and brings up gslapt for installation of slackware packages.
* Otherwise, a small selection of lhp pets is available and any selection will trigger ppm/wget to download the pet from Tazoc's repo and ask if you want to proceed with installation.
* SFS files are for the time being only available at g-drive and only downloadable via browser or Stemsee's 'nluug-get'
* Select default e-mail with 'defaults-chooser' inside the desktop folder prior to clicking the e-mail icon.
* All add-ons specific to JL64-603 will be in the same directory (link below). Most in ExtraSfs will work (as will those at Tazoc's repo) but care should be taken. I will be removing qt (etc) libraries from specific add-ons as I get to it to better jive with the new base-file.
* Should you wish to stay with the original Lighthouse/Mariner, this kernel package runs it very well.
* Next project will be updating the kernel and some 'security' patches for the 32bit lhp-503g. That pup is just too cool!
(150607) The final release version of JL64-602 (JL64-4.0.1f.iso) is now available for download after nearly six months of tinkering. It includes several bug fixes from the previous upload as well as several dependencies for installed applications (missed by both ppm and g-slapt), particularly concerning gimp and system-config-printer. These additions are primarily python bindings, but I've also upgraded control panel, pup-sysview, and added pup-kview, urxvtcontrol, at-spi2 and locator gui.
Of course, to call this "final" does not mean "really and truly"! I believe it merely qualifies JL64 for long-term-support. There is undoubtedly still much which might be done.
notes on systemd and kde windomanager:
Included in the JL64-4.0.1f iso is the addon, 2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs, which essentially restores systemd and udev as was in the original lighthouse and earlier JL64 prior to the addition of eudev, which is a udev work-around eliminating the need for systemd. Although not essential to run the kde desktop, so many functions are tied to it, particularly kde drive/partition mounters as well as gnome disks.
To run kde free of systemd, simply unload the 2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs addon with boot manager or sfs load in the control panel. There are plenty of puppy applications to take up the slack, such as pmount. In this case, spacefm would be the preferable file manager for kde, since it runs completely independent of polkit and dbus-1 (with systemd).
The other note concerning the kde window manager is nepomuk services. Some bit of nepomuk (libraries) is essential for most kde (v4.10.5) applications, but the system is broken as slackware provides and, in fact, has been abandoned by kde in more recent versions (which appear absolutely dependent on systemd). The only kde applications to truly suffer are the file indexing service and data storage.
I've added Smokey et al's 'locator-1.1-tahr' to the base file which provides a more-than-satisfactory indexing database gui for locate.
To save sessions while running kde (especially booting kdm/kwin from the console rather than xwin), you must switch the window manager to any other wm AFTER hitting the 'save-session' icon on the desktop.

(150618) edit: I thought I already did this but apparently it was only in a pm. Whoops. There is some redundancy in packages at the TWO links, but those @ Mariner602... are more recent as well as reliable. I'm in the midst of reorganizing everything so please bear with me. (thanks M!)
