gvim.desktop in the source dir for /xap/vim-gvim shows its age:
Code:
didier[/usr/share/applications]$ desktop-file-validate gvim.desktop
gvim.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
gvim.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "gvim.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop Entry" is an icon name with an extension, but there should be no extension as described in the Icon Theme Specification if the value is not an absolute path
gvim.desktop: hint: value item "TextEditor" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" can be extended with another category among the following categories: Utility
gvim.desktop: hint: value "TextEditor;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" does not contain a registered main category; application might only show up in a "catch-all" section of the application menu
following the update to mpfr and the bump in .so-version, the new version of libmpfr needs to be added to aaa_elflibs as gawk is used by the package management scripts.
Haven't investigated this thoroughly, but I believe it was due to slackpkg+, because the errors were showing up after each package upgrade and I don't think that plain slackpkg calls awk during upgrade part of the whole process. These twolines of /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh seem to be the culprit.
Is there any good reasons to build gegl with ffmpeg? I am testing a git version of ffmpeg now where the API version was changed so when I went to rebuild gegl which now links against ffmpeg I found it of course doesn't build... I suppose gegl was included in Slackware without ffmpeg support for a while without issue so unless there are good reasons to build with ffmpeg maybe '--without-libavformat' should be used? Its not a big deal, but its just another annoyance for those that build their own ffmpeg versions.
some icons are missing in the Xfce menus and the Settings Manager (Keyboard, for example). It seems Tango and Adwaita icon themes still expect gnome-icon-theme.
Please consider the diff below for the next kernel package upgrade.
The important option is:
Code:
CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y
It allows cifs-utils to mount shares with sec=krb5. The others are good to have.
