Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)

Bzip2 1.0.8
https://sourceware.org/pub/bzip2/bzip2-1.0.8.tar.gz

Quote:

1.0.8 (13 Jul 19)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Accept as many selectors as the file format allows.
This relaxes the fix for CVE-2019-12900 from 1.0.7
so that bzip2 allows decompression of bz2 files that
use (too) many selectors again.

* Fix handling of large (> 4GB) files on Windows.

* Cleanup of bzdiff and bzgrep scripts so they don't use
any bash extensions and handle multiple archives correctly.

* There is now a bz2-files test suite at
https://sourceware.org/git/bzip2-tests.git

1.0.8 seems to build fine on -current as long as you change the version numbers in the patch file

Would it be possible to not hard code ninja in current's build scripts?

For example:

Code:

"${NINJA:=ninja}" -C build
DESTDIR=$PKG "$NINJA" -C build install

This sets the NINJA variable to according to the environment or falls back to "ninja" if its an unset or blank variable. This will allow users to set which ninja implementation to use, for example an already viable alternative is samurai.

Hi,

Recently I started using lm_sensors with enabled support for sensord, which is a handy way of collecting data from the onboard sensors over time.

Enabling sensord requires tweaking lm_sensors Makefile, and introduces the dependency on rrdtool: https://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/. I'm reading that rrdtool can also be used to create graphs, but so far I haven't had the time to set it up and test this feature.

I was wondering if rrdtool could be considered for inclusion in Slackware 15? (along with enabling sensord in lm_sensors).

I have a bit of a strange request...

In Emacs' Slackbuild, the default Emacs toolkit is gtk3, which makes sense, because that's what most users would choose.

However, I often use Emacs compiled with Motif (one reasons being, it's free of the random crash when launched as --daemon, and the other one being that it's more usable through ssh -X like this).

I wonder if it would be possible to add a $VAR-like option to the slackbuild, so that if I run it like:

Code:

 X_TOOLKIT=motif ./emacs.SlackBuild

,
it would build me a motif version of Emacs.

Thanks for the ffmpeg update.!!!

I see in configure time a BIG WARNING , arround libavresample is DEPRECATED , we need for something ?

Its safe remove this part of slackbuild ?

Nothing using it outside of an alsa-plugins resampling plugin. But typically I don't see removing "deprecated" things as helpful if we've supported them before and upstream still offers the option to compile them in.

Maybe its worth adding perl-Archive-Zip to current for its crc32 binary? I have not found another good way of generating crc32 sums on linux and they are very useful for comparison with documentation from some online communities that still (Only) use crc32 sums... Its also a build dependency for libreoffice.

Generate decimal CRC32 sum:

Code:

echo -n 123456789 | python -c 'import sys;import zlib;print(zlib.crc32(sys.stdin.read())%(1<<32))'

Generate hex CRC32 sum:

Code:

echo -n 123456789 | python -c 'import sys;import zlib;print("%08x"%(zlib.crc32(sys.stdin.read())%(1<<32)))'

Or you can do it with Perl using the builtin Zlib module.

Code:

echo -n 123456789 | perl -mCompress::Zlib=crc32 -e 'printf "%08x", crc32(<>)'

Thank you!

Code:

cat file | python -c 'import sys;import zlib;print("%08x"%(zlib.crc32(sys.stdin.read())%(1<<32)))'

Seems to be equivalent to the crc32 executable from perl-Archive-Zip.

Edit: Or to avoid the useless cat.

Code:

python -c 'import sys;import zlib;print("%08x"%(zlib.crc32(sys.stdin.read())%(1<<32)))' < file

RHash is nice too (on SBo):

Code:

rhash -C file

XV's maintenance seems to have been taken over by David Griffith on his GitLab page:

https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/xv

It would be possible to reduce the amount of patches in the SlackBuild if using his git master:

https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/xv/...-master.tar.gz

The version, I believe, is still 3.10a, but now the patches are also integrated, and the last update is from 2018,
not 2009 as the original XV.
