+# slackware-changelog
+
+A widget for a [Homepage](https://gethomepage.dev) dashboard, one of the
+modules under `homepage-modules/`. Siblings share the shape described below.
+
+## Shape of a module
+
+Homepage's `customapi` widget fetches JSON and maps fields to labels. It
+cannot parse text, cannot do arithmetic, and refetches on every refresh
+interval. So each module is a small stdlib Python HTTP service on localhost
+that does the parsing and caching, plus:
+
+- `<name>.py` - the service, single file, stdlib only, executable
+- `test_<name>.py` - self-check, fakes the upstream, prints `ok`
+- `<name>.service` - systemd unit, `DynamicUser=yes`, config via `Environment=`
+- `homepage-services.yaml` / `homepage-settings.yaml` - snippets to merge
+
+No dependencies. No framework. `ThreadingHTTPServer` and `urllib`.
+
+## This module
+
+Serves the latest Slackware -current ChangeLog entry on `127.0.0.1:8098`.
+
+Endpoints: `/latest` (counts and summary), `/top` (the first `TOP_N` packages
+as flat fields), `/packages` (every package with its action), `/entry` (HTML
+page of the entry), `/refresh` (bypass the cache).
+
+### Why /top exists
+
+`customapi` maps a fixed list of field names to labels. It cannot iterate an
+array and cannot scroll, so a JSON list of packages renders as nothing. `/top`
+flattens the first `TOP_N` into `pkg1`, `pkg2`, ... which the widget can map
+one per row, and appends a `... and N more` row in the next slot when the entry
+is longer. The card links to the ChangeLog for the rest.
+
+Mapping more `pkgN` fields than the entry has packages is harmless: Homepage
+skips a field that is absent. So the snippet maps a fixed 9 rows regardless of
+how many that day's entry holds.
+
+### ChangeLog format
+
+The file is reverse-chronological. Entries are separated by a `+--------+`
+line, so the latest entry is everything before the first separator.
+
+Inside an entry:
+
+```
+Mon Sep 7 22:56:39 UTC 2026
+a/util-linux-2.42.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
+ This update fixes bugs and security issues.
+ (* Security fix *)
+l/cryptopp-8.9.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
+ Fixed library location. Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina.
+```
+
+Gotcha: a package line is identified by **starting at column 0**, not by
+ending in a period. Note lines are indented and frequently end in a period
+too ("Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina."), so a period-based regex counts prose as
+packages. The test asserts this specific case.
+
+Actions seen: `Upgraded`, `Rebuilt`, `Added`, `Removed`. The parser counts
+whatever word it finds rather than matching a fixed list, so a new action
+verb shows up in `summary` instead of vanishing.
+
+Security fixes are marked by the literal `(* Security fix *)` on its own
+indented line. CVE ids appear in the notes as cve.org URLs.
+
+### Caching
+
+`CACHE_TTL` (default 1800s) governs upstream fetches; the widget's
+`refreshInterval` only redraws. A failed refresh keeps the previous entry and
+adds a `stale` field with the error, so an unreachable mirror degrades to an
+old entry rather than a blank card. `/refresh` forces a fetch but obeys the
+same fallback.
+
+### Rendering
+
+`/entry` escapes everything from the ChangeLog with `html.escape` before it
+reaches the page. Upstream text is not trusted markup; the test asserts no
+`<script` survives.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- GPLv2 only. Header notice in every source file.
+- Snippet YAML files are merged into Homepage's config by hand, never copied
+ over it; the comments at the top of each say so.
+- Layout groups: any group omitted from `layout:` falls to the bottom of the
+ page, so the snippet reminds the reader to list their existing groups too.

+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+ <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+ parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+ (at your option) any later version.
+
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
+ with this program; if not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+ <signature of Moe Ghoul>, 1 April 1989
+ Moe Ghoul, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.

+# slackware-changelog
+
+Shows the latest [Slackware -current](https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/ChangeLog.txt)
+ChangeLog entry: date, how many packages moved, and how many carry a security
+fix.
+
+Homepage's `customapi` widget speaks JSON only, and the ChangeLog is plain
+text: several thousand lines covering years of entries, of which only the
+first block is wanted. This proxy fetches it, parses the latest entry, caches
+it so the widget refresh does not hit the mirror, and serves the fields.
+
+Stdlib Python, no dependencies, one file.
+
+## Features
+
+- Counts per action: upgraded, rebuilt, added, removed
+- Security fixes counted, and the CVE ids of the entry collected
+- The full entry as a readable page, linked from the card
+- A second card listing the packages themselves, truncated with a "... and N more" row
+- An unreachable mirror serves the last good entry, flagged as stale, rather than a blank card
+
+## Endpoints
+
+| Path | Returns |
+|---|---|
+| `/latest` (or `/`) | Date, counts, one-line summary, CVE ids |
+| `/top` | The first `TOP_N` packages as flat `pkg1..pkgN` fields, plus an overflow row. `?n=` overrides |
+| `/packages` | Every package in the entry, with its action |
+| `/entry` | The full entry as HTML |
+| `/refresh` | Same as `/latest`, ignoring the cache |
+
+## Install
+
+Runs on the machine hosting Homepage, listening on `127.0.0.1:8098`.
+
+```bash
+install -Dm755 slackware_changelog.py /opt/slackware-changelog/slackware_changelog.py
+install -Dm644 slackware-changelog.service /etc/systemd/system/slackware-changelog.service
+# edit the unit if you want a nearer mirror
+systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable --now slackware-changelog
+curl -s localhost:8098/latest
+```
+
+Then merge `homepage-services.yaml` into Homepage's `services.yaml` and the
+`layout:` block from `homepage-settings.yaml` into its `settings.yaml`, and
+restart Homepage.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Environment variables, set in the unit file:
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CHANGELOG_URL` | `https://mirrors.slackware.com/.../slackware64-current/ChangeLog.txt` | Use a nearer mirror, or `slackware-current` for 32-bit |
+| `PORT` | `8098` | Listen port, bound to localhost |
+| `CACHE_TTL` | `1800` | Seconds before the mirror is fetched again |
+| `TOP_N` | `8` | Packages listed by `/top` before it truncates |
+
+## Parsing
+
+An entry runs from the top of the file to the first `+----+` separator line.
+Inside it, a package line starts at column 0 and reads `path/name.txz: Action.`;
+indented lines below it are free-text notes, which is why the parser anchors
+on the column and not on the trailing period. Notes are kept in the entry text
+but never counted as packages.
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+python3 test_changelog.py
+```
+
+Fakes the mirror, so it needs no network. Prints `ok`.
+
+## License
+
+GPLv2. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).
+
+## Development Approach
+
+This project is developed using AI-assisted tools. Code is generated with the help of AI based on human-provided specifications, design decisions, and iterative feedback.
+
+All contributions are reviewed, tested, and curated by the maintainer before being included in the codebase. AI is used as a productivity and exploration tool, while human oversight remains central to all decisions.
+
+The goal is to combine the flexibility of AI-assisted development with standard open-source practices such as transparency, review, and accountability.

+"""Slackware -current ChangeLog proxy for Homepage.

+Fetches the ChangeLog, parses the latest entry, and serves it as JSON for a
+customapi widget plus an HTML page of the full entry. Homepage cannot fetch
+plain text, cannot parse it, and would hammer the mirror on every refresh,
+so this caches upstream and hands back structured fields.
