universal-ctags
 

Can we replace the old ctags(as in vim package, not maintained now) with universal-ctags ?

https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...iversal-ctags/

Universal Ctags improves on traditional ctags because of its multilanguage support, its ability for the user to define new languages searched by regular expressions, and its ability to generate emacs-style TAGS files.

Thanks.

Release notes, https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/th...otes/#whatsnew

For Robby, a new 'libbytesize-2.4' is available:

https://github.com/storaged-project/...leases/tag/2.4

LibRaw v0.20 is out : https://www.libraw.org/download

Slack current still lists v0.18 which is a bit outdated in terms of the wealth of new digital cameras and associated RAW image data that came to market over the last two years since the last upgrade of LibRaw...

Any thoughts on micro?
https://github.com/zyedidia/micro

When the source is built against xclip:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1.../?search=xclip

It has the ability to input any text from its clipboard into x's.

As far as intuitive terminal text editors go I think it's even easier to use than Nano.

CMake 3.18.1
 

CMake 3.18.1 is out with the cmake-gui crash patch included:

Cmake 3.18.1 seem to compile fine under -current.

mozjs68 , have BAD slack-desc , slack-desc have mozjs60 and description is fail to write under de log/package DESCRIPTION:

OpenEXR 2.5.2

https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFo...ses/tag/v2.5.2

ilmbase is obsolete

Please considering again , add jack for better multimedia/daw systems.

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/audio/jack/



audacious-plugins , ffmpeg , fluidsynth ..and a very large list of packages can benefit.




after read last erick updates for plasma , he adds pipewire ,if this adition is on planned adition, thats another one can benefit of jack. (autodetected)

Thanks!!

l/urwid-1.0.3-i586-5.txz: Removed.


This are old , and cause some conflict when some new projects want this , but that version is obsolete , and wicd no support newers.

This can be fixed by downloading and exploding the package then replace mozjs60 with mozjs68 in install/slack-desc and remake and reinstalling the package.

Thanks , i know how to fix.
But package needs to come perfectly from stock.

I agree, but it's probably just an oversight by Pat V.

Yep , not the first time , is hard to remember what slack-desc need adjustements after upgrade version.


I have one idea , but im not sure if its possible , probably , de slackbuild , can change 60 to 68 or wathever with using sed .. but first we need grep slack-desc version , and sed only if not the same of the actual build...or as exceptional case , make slack-desc on the fly ... its only a idea, but i think its useful to no need remember when edit the slack-desc file.

Its possibly enable this on kernel ?

CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y


Its needed to use apparmor.

Unless Pat has changed his mind, look here:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5903844

OK , then probably NOT , thanks for the point.

Having selinux userspace utilities and libselinux would be nice tbh.

There are already quite a lot of binary packages that depend on libselinux being present in the system. I think if the kernel setting is turned off, it's just saying "selinux not enabled".

I actually made a patch to let the selinux userland build on Slackware.

(https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/258)

Ow, so openexr has moved to cmake instead of Autotools in openexr-2.5.2, so the SlackBuild needs more adjustment than usual.

I basically made it work with this cmake incantation replacing the ./configure incantation:

Yeah, same they said about libpam, but we got it with the whole hog and a bunch of packages tuned for PAM and Kerberos...

Mesa 20.1.5
Release notes and link: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archiv...st/224557.html

The Slackbuild for GIMP seems to be creating a file called '/tmp/gimp-*-x86_64-2.txz' on my machine.

This is normal behavior for a SlackBuild script; to place the resulting package in "/tmp/".

I am assuming you are running the script located in 'source/xap/gimp/' of the Slackware tree.

Why are you running it?

... so that seems to be as expected.

Sorry to bump an old post, but this issue is still present, and still requires a manual workaround to install Slackware properly on these devices.

Dovecot v2.3.11.3 (4 CVE)

Not updated on their download site yet but make sure you pull latest pigeonhole too if you need it
https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/relea...-0.5.11.tar.gz

There is a new version of eigen3 since a lot of time (2018).

It is needed for opencv 4.4.0. The old one of current Slackware don't work anymore with Opencv.
The old one was working with Opencv 4.1.1

Many other distributions have the 3.3.7 eigen3 version.

It is here : https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/-/...n-3.3.7.tar.gz

/etc/gtk-3.0/gtkrc is a remnant
 

/etc/gtk-3.0/gtkrc is not read by the current version of GTK 3. It uses the old syntax and is no longer needed since Adwaita is the default theme. This file can be removed.
Ed

Now that I look into the default dovecot it doesnt seem pigeonhole is included. Would that be possible?

k3b 20.08.0 (released yesterday)
https://github.com/KDE/k3b/archive/v20.08.0.tar.gz

I guess that right now is impossible to upgrade the -current's K3B to this particular version because slackware-current still ships KDE4.

Ah, true. Didn't think of that :)

why ssr-0.4 ??

ssr-0.5.0
https://github.com/SoundScapeRendere...e/0.5.0.tar.gz

The software added is SimpleScreenRecorder, not SoundScapeRenderer.

opppss , ha ha ha ok , i loose this match.

sorry for the noise.

For Robby,

udisks2-2.9.1:

https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases

(it seem this version need the option (--enable-zram=no) for build without systemd)

maybe read this for zram:


https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/791

Please don't do this.

The xorgproto package should be noarch, this was fixed upstream a long time ago.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/...003426faec806e

However meson "conveniently" adds the libdir field back...

I suggest to use autotools, ignore the libdir field knowing it will not be used or to use sed to remove it post install until meson does this correctly.
