Last Week's Updates and Upgrades in the Slackware Current Testing Tree

Here we are again, a recap of the week's updates to the testing branch. Every week a new kernel it seems, this is now at 4.14.55. Apart from that a slew of upgrades again like the kernel firmware package and Pulseaudio. Also binutils have been upgraded to 2.31. This is all for the x86_64 architecture which I am tracking but 32-bit is usually identical.

a/etc-15.0-x86_64-7.txz: Rebuilt.
       Don't set a default MANPATH - it ends up overriding the config file settings.

       Looking at the BIND release schedule, it's probably better to stick with
       this stable branch than to track the development/unstable which isn't due
       to become bind-9.14.0 for many months. Like always, we'll move to a newer
       branch if that becomes necessary.
