[SOLVED] Requests for -current (20151216)

Didier Spaier · 06-14-2017, 05:29 AM

I just repackaged an official 64-bit binary with a SLKBUILD stolen to gapan (the one he uses for Salix):

http://slint.fr/testing/mozilla-firefox-54.0/

It's a bundle, languages included:
ar bg cs da de el en-US es-AR es-CL es-ES es-MX fa fi fr he hu it ja lv nb-NO nl pl pt-BR pt-PT ro ru sv-SE tr uk

Posting using it, use at your own risk.

PS Thu Jun 15: now upgraded, see the ChangeLogs for Slackware stable and current, thanks Pat. I will remove the package linked to above.

Pat said that RUST needs to compile itself to be included in Slackware, BTW...

So, what success you have on this take?

Let's hope PHP 7 won't need to compile itself.

You just demonstrated your glorious ignorance and arrogance! Congratulations!

While PHP 5.6 (or 7, 7.1 and so on) is a PHP interpreter written in C, then you need GCC to compile it, the RUST has a compiler written in RUST. And that RUST compiler is needed to compile the latest Firefox.

So, according to Patrick Volkerding (you know, The Man), the RUST compiler should be able to compile itself, before to include it in Slackware, then to update Slackware's Firefox to latest version.

That's the rule established by P.V., but if you know better than him...

My dear Romanian friend your mission, if you accept it, is to write a sed engine in sed (provided as a sed script in UTF-8 format). It should comply to the POSIX specification, but no extension is required.

I will respond with another quote, to refresh your memory...

When a language that's written in itself can't compile itself without the use of a large bootstrapping compiler provided as binaries, there's work to be done.

There's also a new 52.1.0 ESR that I intended to put into -current until we know what to do about rust, but it doesn't compile. I'm looking into that, but won't let it block things.

And so, we arrived to use Firefox 52.x ESR into Slackware current...

By the way Firefox 52.2.0ESR has been released.

(It is already available in the Salix repos. This is a repackaging of official binaries, but after all that's how it was in Slackware before the version 13.37.)
