GSL (GNU Scientific Library)

The gsl package was updated today to version 2.2.1 by the GSL team. According to the NEWS document at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gsl.git/tree/NEWS:

Quote:
* What is new in gsl-2.2.1:

** reverted gsl_linalg_cholesky_decomp to its previous behavior
so it is backward compatible; new cholesky routine is
gsl_linalg_cholesky_decomp1

I know I've asked in the past for FluidSynth and for SDL to be built against it.

Now I'd also like to see libmodplug added and SDL build against that too.

pingus, which was recently added to SBo, cannot play music if SDL was not built with libmodplug support.

I tried to build latest pingus yesterday but the download link was broken. I did not yet have time to look back into it but will try sometime next week.

Glad I am not the only pingus player out there! My favorite pingus game: v7.3/doors2-grumbel.pingus which I can complete with 2:24 remaining (from 2:59 start)... any challengers?

Last edited by astrogeek; 08-31-2016 at 09:50 PM. Reason: v7.3, not 7.2, and it is doors2-grumbel

I just double-checked. That's incorrect.

Pingus needs SDL to be built with libmikmod support. Not libmodplug support.

SDL 1 uses libmikmod to play MOD files. SDL 2 use libmodplug.

E2fsprogs-1.43.3, has been released.

Release notes, http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2f...se.html#1.43.3

Quote:
Fix e2fsck's handling of timestamps on 32-bit systems.

E2fsck will now check, and if necessary repair the extra isize fields in the inode and superblock.

Fix crashes on architectures such as sparc64 that are sensitive to unaligned pointer derferences in the journal recovery code when journal checksums are enabled.
Programming notes

Support reproducible builds by not capturing the build directory into the mk_cmds and compile_et scripts. Also fix debian build rules to ensure build reproducibility.

Fix debian build rules to ensure build reproducibility and to avoid hiding the linker flags for e2fsck.static so the build hardening log scanner can properly audit the build.

Fix compatibility with FreeBSD's pmake and teach the configure script to force the creation of pmake-compatible Makefiles if the FORCE_NATIVE_MAKE environment variable is set to a non-empty value.

Mesa-12.0.2, has been released.

Source, ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/1...-12.0.2.tar.xz

Release notes,
Quote:
....The current release fixes crashes in GLX, EGL and Wayland-EGL, resolves a number of memory leaks in the video decoding drivers, makes the Intel Vulkan driver more robust by exporting only the required symbols (previously we would get symbol collisions leading to strange behaviour or even crashes).

From Android side of things a deadlock and various memory leaks have been fixed.

Not to mention the steady amount of driver fixes in i965, nouveau, radeonsi, freedreno and vc4.....
Full text here, https://lists.freedesktop.org/archiv...er/127937.html


ImageMagick-7.0.3-0, has been released.
