		+
		+	== Slackware 14.1 and Wine 1.7.24 ==
		+
		+	The latest Wine development release: 1.7.24 '''introduced some new dependencies''' to the source code:
		+	* '''Libcap''': A library meant to get or to set '''POSIX.1e''' capabilities.
		+	* '''libnl3''': A set of libraries to manage the '''Netlink''' protocol.
		+	* '''Libusb''': A library that enables user space programs to connect to USB devices like printers or scanners.
		+	If not present, some packages need installing to enable the new Wine features at compile time. The package list for a 32 bit distribution include:
		+	* libcap-2.22-i486-1.txz
		+	* libnl-1.1.4-i486-1.txz
		+	* libnl3-3.2.21-i486-1.txz
		+	* libusb-1.0.9-i486-1.txz
		+	While a list for a 64 bit distribution includes:
		+	* libcap-2.22-x86_64-1.txz
		+	* libnl-1.1.4-x86_64-1.txz
		+	* libnl3-3.2.21-x86_64-1.txz
		+	* libusb-1.0.9-x86_64-1.txz
		+	Moreover 32 bit compatibility packages are needed by a 64 bit multilib distribution. The compatibility packages can be obtained from the 32 bit ones recurring to the procedures previously described in this same paper. The '''massconvert32.sh script converts the USB library only ignoring the other ones'''. Package conversion can be managed recurring to the '''convertpkg-compat32''' command as detailed below:
		+	* Copy packages from a 32 bit Slackware install media or download them to a directory on Your local hard drive.
		+	* Create a directory were to write the converted packages:
		+	'''mkdir''' /tmp/compat32
		+	* Convert packages:
		+	convertpkg-compat32 -i ./libcap-2.22-i486-1.txz -d /tmp/compat32/
		+	convertpkg-compat32 -i ./libnl-1.1.4-i486-1.txz -d /tmp/compat32/
		+	convertpkg-compat32 -i ./libnl3-3.2.21-i486-1.txz -d /tmp/compat32/
		+	* Install the packages created in the /tmp/compat32/ directory by means of the '''installpkg''' command.
		+	installpkg /tmp/compat32/*.txz
		+	Both the 32 bit packages and the temporary files in /tmp can be safely removed after installing.

		+
		+	== Slackware 14.1 GStreamer update ==
		+
		+	GStreamer is a multimedia framework meant to play animations, movies and music. The library is used by a large number of software media players and many video games. GStreamer provides some basic features that can be interfaced with and enhanced developing specific plug-ins. The '''massconvert32.sh''' script converts the main library and base plug-ins, Sadly '''not all of the Slackware readable multimedia streams nor the ones used by recent Wine releases are covered with them'''. Wine development is in perpetual evolution and while new features are added, so are dependencies from external packages. At present some new "dependencies" emerged for packages referenced by Wine through GStreamer:
		+	* aalib-1.4rc5
		+	* cdparanoia-III_10.2
		+	* freeglut-2.8.0
		+	* GConf-3.2.6
		+	* libcaca-0.99.beta18
		+	* libsoup-2.42.2
		+	* libtheora-1.1.1
		+	* libvisual-0.4.0
		+	* taglib-1.8
		+	* udev-182
		+	* wavpack-4.60.1
		+
		+	The '''multilib''' Slackware Linux release requires '''both the 64 bit packages and the converted 32 bit ones''': the compat32 packages. The '''massconvert32.sh script ignores the above listed packages'''. To convert them please follow the below procedure:
		+	* Copy packages from a 32 bit Slackware install media or download them to a directory on Your local hard drive.
		+	* Create a directory were to write the converted packages:
		+	'''mkdir''' /tmp/compat32
		+	* Convert packages by means of the previously described '''convertpkg-compat32''' command:
		+	convertpkg-compat32 -i ./aalib-1.4rc5-i486-5.txz-d /tmp/compat32/
		+	convertpkg-compat32 -i ./cdparanoia-III_10.2-i486-1.txz-d /tmp/compat32/

		+	Install the converted packages by issuing the '''installpkg''' command:
		+	installpkg /tmp/compat32/*.txz
		+	At installation end both the 32 bit packages and the ones in /tmp/compat32/ can be deleted with no drawback.

		+	'''Slackware 14.1''' was officially released 7th November 2013. The 64 bit version is "multilib ready" and like previous ones can be easily extended to execute 32 bit programs and applications. The 32 bit layer can be installed following the above instructions for previous releases. The procedure is somewhat easier as '''the massconvert32.sh script can now manage all Wine dependencies''' out of the box, with no update or addition. The '''libOSMesa software library was included in the standard Mesa Slackware 14.1 package''' and needs no specific build to work.

 compat32-tools installed two conversion scripts: convertpkg-compat32 and massconvert32.sh. The former is useful to convert single packages while the latter is meant to execute a single mass conversion of packages.
