news 28 Posted June 17, 2009 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] apr-util (SSA:2009-167-02) New apr-util (and apr) packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues. The issues are with apr-util, but older Slackware releases will require a new version of the apr package as well.

Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
