Lightbulb Slackworks updates as of June 15, 2015


I've been really busy reworking, forking, and testing packages on my end that honestly, it's been fun, but a lot of work.

As of 06-15-2015 here's the current package tree:

a/grub - Grub-2.02~beta2 with custom btrfs/zfs detection patch.
a/eudev - eudev-3.1.1
extras/freshplayerplugin - freshplayerplugin-0.2.4
extras/openpam - openpam-20140912
extras/openpam-modules - openpam-modules-001
l/ConsoleKit2 - ConsoleKit2-0.9.2
l/hal - hal-0.5.14 w/ prepatched source.
l/loginkit - loginkit-0.1
x/cairo - cairo-1.14.2 w/ glesv2 (egl) support
x/libclc - libclc-20150524 (git pulled source tarball)
x/libdrm - libdrm-2.4.60 w/ experimental APIs
x/libepoxy - libepoxy-1.2
x/libinput - libinput-0.17.0
x/libomxil-bellagio - libomxil-bellagio-0.9.3 w/ build patches
x/libxkbcommon - libxkbcommon-0.5.0
x/mesa - mesa-10.5.7 w/ experimental drivers and wayland support
x/xf86-input-libinput - xf86-input-libinput-0.11.0

These packages currently are aimed primarily at research and development only, but can work with 14.1 and -Current provided all the prerequisites are met.

OpenPAM should be compatible with various packages provided you know how to draft the /etc/pam.d config files. Some configuration files are for Linux-PAM only, so unless you absolutely need to build for PAM, rebuild any packages with PAM support disabled. The modules package will support shadow at least.

I am currently working on trying to get the xorg-server package reworked to be friendly to the traditional build schematics, but Patrick uses a rather modularized build script system that will take some time to work back into a single script.

Anyways, that's all for now.

Thanks, guys.

Edit:

I rebuilt xorg-server successfully and have Xwayland support, and rebuilt kde-workspace-4.11.17 rebuilt for Wayland also. I might upgrade to KDE/Plasma 5 and Mesa 10.6 soon.

Edit 2:

To use KDE with Wayland you'll need to import Weston apparently. Don't really want to do this for 4.11.17, as it will require OpenPAM, but there's little I can do. Also Mesa-10.6 is a no-go until the package stabilizes. KDE/Plasma5 will be on hold also. I need to rebuild QT5 for wayland apparently and other things. The current method of getting KDE-4.11.17 running over Wayland/Weston should be enough. I'll post it soon enough.

Update: Sorry for the lack of updated, but I have been terribly busy, but new updates will be coming soon on the git repo, so keep an eye out for my new update round.
