Requests for -current (20151216)
First of all, this does not mean that a release is imminent - like many of you, I definitely think that -current is shaping up quite nicely right now and is getting close to release quality, but of course, that's not my decision (and I can always find "just one more thing" to add/upgrade/whatever) :-)
I've already got these queued up for consideration: * bluez-5.x, sbc, blueman-2.0.x, Cython (build dep for blueman) * polkit-0.113 and polkit-gnome-0.105 -- these are quite different and thus may not make the cut. They're working well here but it wouldn't hurt to get some more testing; if anyone's interested, mail me and I'll provide links. * upower 0.99.3 ?? This has a minor (IMHO) regression with respect to 0.9.23, but we would get a maintained version instead of an abandoned-by-upstream branch. The regression is basically this: upower-0.9.23 advised whether suspend/hibernate was possible itself, i.e. apps like xfce4-power-manager asked upower if it was possible and then invoked the suspend/hibernate by some means (in the case of xfpm, via pm-(suspend|hibernate)). That ability was removed from upower, so now ConsoleKit2 handles that side of things. However, CK2 only implemented a check for whether the hardware is *capable* of suspend/hibernate, which means that there is *not* a check for whether hibernate is actually *possible* - i.e. is there enough swap space available? The result is that in e.g. xfce, the hibernate option is always present in the logout dialog if the system is capable of hibernating, even though the system may not have enough swap space to do so (in my case, there is zero swap space). Is this a sufficient regression to avoid upower-0.99.3? Alternatively, does someone with more time want to grab the code from upower-0.99.3 and make whatever changes are needed to merge it into upstream CK2 (assuming license compatibility) and do a pull request with them? I glanced over it, and it looks relatively trivial to do for someone competent (I think even I can do it, so competence isn't necessarily a requirement ;-) - I just don't have time at the moment). If so, there's already an open issue there on the CK2 github page - just reference that in your PR. I'll be happy to test and add a Signed-Off-By on the PR if you'd like. EDIT: upower-0.99.3 is out of the running for this cycle - it's fine with xfce, but kde is not. Maybe next time. :-) pprkut has these things queued up already: * iftop libevent libodfgen mpg123 sqlite taglib wavpack We already know that PAM is desired by some and not by others. This is not a place to discuss it or give pros/cons of either, as those are pretty much known too. Whether it's ever been or is currently under consideration is not my place to say, but I will point out that every time there's a new flame fest about it, none of us want to touch it again for a while. Let that be a point of education. |
Dammit. I broke slackpkg. Until Pat gets a fix out, here it is:
Open /usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh Go to line #282 You should see this: Code:
to the closest mirror and is very slow.\n\" Code:
to the closest mirror and is very slow.\n" EDIT: Fixed now; hopefully nobody even got a broken package :-) |
I have a question, to the new gcc5.3
there was an ABI change in libstdc++, and the new ABI should be default on, except it was changed. so I would expect to see more packages rebuilded. Or is it turned off? This would be not so cool because that would mean that shipped C++ library is not ISO standard compatible, that's why sting and list where changed. and will be incompatible with the rest of the world because I expect the rest of the world to switch to ISO standard implementation as soon as it is default from the compiler, which is with gcc5.3 |
I would like to see the certwatch cronjob in openssl patched, as it stands it does basically nothing, as it only looks for regular files in /etc/ssl/certs, while the directory is populated by symlinks to /usr/share/ca-certificates.
Code:

Robby, avoid upower-0.99.3. It breaks the desktop completely last I tried it. Icons literally were a mess. It's built solely for systemd-logind usage. The real problem is pm-utils. The pm-utils, upower, and xfce4-power-manager all have some cyclical dependencies so you have to rebuild each package a few times to match the dependencies correctly. The problem is, if pm-utils isn't dependency matched to upower and xfce4-power-manager isn't built for upower and pm-utils, it tends to start misbehaving.
This is actually a package I've had to rebuild even in 14.1 because it was targeting an older dependency library. Upower-0.9.23 should work fine with sysvinit utility based or derived without issue. |
xfce4-power-manager (1.5 version) support Upower-0.9.23
http://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfc...r-manager/1.5/ it compil perfectly, but i don't have laptop, for testing correctly. |
Oops sorry ;)

I still suggest support out of the box for old music tracker files including libmodplug and rebuilding audaciuous-plugins against it. Someone also mentioned gstreamer rebuild agains libmodplug for the same reason.

Since the old thread is locked i will repost here.
sunet.se mirrors should be removed from /etc/slackpkg/mirrors since they don't host linux distributions any more and the links are dead. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4/#post5426031 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5456931 |
I will ask for it again: FluidSynth added, and SDL_mixer rebuilt against it.

rc.cgmanager

Running cgmanager from rc.S doesn't make sense to me. Switching to runlevel 1 will kill it and switching back to runlevel 3 won't start it. It is a d-bus controlled daemon and should be run in rc.M after rc.messagebus. Cheers |

I am however going to report one thing: upower-0.9.23 does this currently when ran with upower -w Code:
bash-4.3# upower -w Code:
bash-4.3# upower -w By the way is CONFIG_TIMER_STATS enabled in the kernel? You mentioned the missing functionality. Well, in any case, if functionality is needed then yes, it is needed and the code needs to be patched in and the pull request made for CK2. |
Few updates:

For upower, maybe manjaro upower-pm-utils patch can be useful, just suggestion ;)

Thanks gmgf, I'll test these.
Okay, we will need CONFIG_TIMER_STATS in the kernel for upower. Slackware doesn't ship it enabled. Kernel Hacking >[*] Kernel Debugging >[*] Collect Kernel Timers Statistics Upower uses this to check for information on processor wakeups. Looks like I'm building a test kernel too. Will report back later. Edit: Rebuilt kernel with timer statstics and upower with Manjaro patches. Results from upower -w: Code:

I would like to propose inclusion of Inkscape inkscape.org. It is the foss counterpart of Adobe Illustrator, like The Gimp is of Adobe Photoshop. This vector-drawing program is independent of DE and will complement The Gimp, which manipulates pixels.

PS - Kudos to the Slackware crew. -current is tracking extremely well for me. |

Mr Workman you hard work is wonderful. and I see current shaping up. I will repeat my self as I did when 14.1 came out and was terrified because even though current seems to run stable at times or very stable actually. Like I said 2 years ago. if it was released today it would be close to two years before it would become a tool that can be used for long term slow moving software.
Is that good or bad. Well 1337 was the only one that was a serious tool from the go. and 14.0 was ok and got better. 14.1 I freaked I am never going to be able to patch all my stuff to build in the 4.8.2 I thought. LOL But hey 14.1 turned out to be the work horse hero. This gcc 5.3.0 is serious stuff and I will repeat my self give me two years and this dog will hunt. Wez that pesqwee wabbit. :). Quote:

I wish nftables could be updated. It got bug fixes and new features for kernel 4.1. See https://lwn.net/Articles/657933/.
libnftnl: 1.0.3 -> 1.0.5 nftables: 0.4 -> 0.5 And take a look at the conntrack packages, code is 2 years old: conntrack-tools: 1.4.2 -> 1.4.3 libnetfilter_conntrack: 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 Thanks, |
The Manjaro patch and kernel setting all fix upower-0.9.23, at least on my end anyway. I'll probably drop this into Slackworks for the time being unless/until it goes official.
Suspend works and Hibernate works, though I did have to add the resume=/dev/<swap_partition> to the boot loader command line for the kernel for pm-utils to work properly. I'll post my kernel config there too. |

Robby, you might want to let Eric know Manjaro has some interesting KDE/Plasma5 patches especially for sddm which might promote some better compatibility in future releases.
|
Is there a possibility of including a 4.3 Kernel, maybe in testing? Slackware would have skylake compatibility (i'm getting a skylake laptop next month from work).
|
Robby, i have compiled all upower and xfce4, package, it seem all work correctly on xfce4,
in kde4, no suspend and hibernate in kde4 menu. upower seem to work in kde5 |

Eric, probably here:

As he said in his post, he could only find one relavent patch that removed upower support. |
The link was already there from gmgf's post, just to a subdirectory for upower only. Why should I have to repost something if he can't search the archive himself and do a bit of legwork? Sorry, but I'm not one of those who hand-holds. And besides, if you see my OS posting icon, it was done on my phone so honestly...

On manjaro all patches are not applied it's like fedora patches,
you have to look in the 'PKGBUILD', too see those used ;) some patch are obsolet ;) |
On my machine Slackware64-current as of now doesn't boot in UEFI mode, only Legacy.
Am I alone? Also, I do not see the usefulness of the hardlinks /EFI/BOOT/{huge.s,initrd.img} as grub accepts paths to locations outside /EFI/BOOT and the paths in grub.cfg didn't change since 14.1 anyway. I am not saying that these hard links are harmful, just wondering. Anyway I will try removing them and see if that makes a difference. Just puzzled as that seems to be the only difference with 14.1 in the /EFI and /isolinux directories. EDIT: bad mkisofs command, sorry. Still, I will correct it and see what I get with vs without the hard links EDIT2: booting on UEFI mode works with and without the hard links, that are thus useless unless I miss something. |
