Code:

That's wrong, right?

It's the same in /etc/profile.d/kde.csh. I've been using a couple of patches that check for the existence of the KDE4 directory to keep the path neat and tidy.

I personally would be all in favor for that (I am already using GnuPG 2.3.0 here), but please note that this is a development branch (as GnuPG 2.1 was in its time). As the stable 2.2 branch is expected to be maintained at least until december 2024, maybe Slackware-15 should be shipped with it instead?

To be more clear what the bzip/zlib change to perl.SlackBuild helps:

Code:

# readelf -d /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/Compress/Raw/Bzip2/Bzip2.so | grep bz2
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libbz2.so.1]
# readelf -d /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/Zlib.so | grep libz
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libz.so.1]

Currently these are built in statically.

Hi ,after addition of c-ares i suggest rebuild --> nghttp2
This can catch c-ares , autdetected no need extra flags or option build.

Thanks!

To bring mozjs78 in line with the other mozilla builds, please consider for mozjs78.SlackBuild:

Code:

--with-system-nspr
--linker=lld
--enable-release

For firefox --enable-release is set by BUILD_OFFICIAL="1".

system-nspr:

Code:

readelf -d /usr/lib/libmozjs-78.so.0.0.0 | grep 4.so
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libplds4.so]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libplc4.so]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libnspr4.so]

Building firefox/thunderbird against more system-libs brought some instability in former times. This seems to have improved as some problematic options were removed entirely, what's left is used by arch/gentoo/..., so these are probably to consider:

Code:

--with-system-ffi
--with-system-pixman
--with-system-icu
--with-system-jpeg
--with-system-webp
--with-system-libevent
--with-system-libvpx

installpkg writes COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE and UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE with a comma if an appropriate locale (like LANG=de_DE.utf8) is set during installation:

Code:

PACKAGE NAME:     elogind-246.10-x86_64-1
COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:     1,1M
UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:     4,4M

I think it would be better to normalize this with LC_ALL=C when setting COMPRESSED and UNCOMPRESSED. Currently i have a mixture of formattings with comma and dot in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages because LANG was sometimes de_DE and sometimes en_US.

By the way: mariadb still always overwrites /etc/security/user_map.conf on update, see here. The default file only contains comments, so there is no need to force an update of this file.

Can we remove the second compilation of emacs-no-x11 from the Emacs package's slackbuild? We can always pass the option '-nw' to regular Emacs' binary to get the same result. That's what I use myself for editing emails with Mutt and git commit messages. It works fine and would allow us to take advantage of pdumper again, which should make the program boot a little faster. (That option is currently removed in the SlackBuild.)

Nope, an emacs binary linked against X11 libraries wouldn't start on a non-X11 machine, and it's still a large use-case for Slackware.

What is pdumper?

Have you tried what I suggested? Besides, I use Emacs outside of X every day, and it works by invoking the regular Emacs binary, not emacs-no-x11. As far as I know, the latter is only used in X when you need no X, which is exactly the same use-case that 'emacs -nw' covers.

I may be wrong, of course, but I think Emacs detects when it's running on X and when it's not. The compilation options are just there to make Emacs X-capable, not to force X on it. But, again, I'm willing to be proved wrong. Test it and come back to me with the results. It's not like it's that big of an issue. I just wanted to remove bloat. If it can't be removed, so be it.
