In my half-slow and half-fast (pronounce that it sounds better :-D ) I decided to try and bump up the version of the game and modified the script accordingly to see if that would fix it but it does not. As I'm not a dev (nor play one on tv) I turned to ye ole' google and found that redhat has a patch to fix this, and was wondering if someone on the list might be able to make this patch for the buildscript at SBo? Here is a link to what redhat does: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2007-December/msg07069.html As a side note, the newer version of the game if bumped up does need in the buildscript to set the correct perm's: chmod 0644 $PKG/usr/share/games/blobAndConquer/data/gameDefs/defines.h chmod 0644 $PKG/usr/share/games/blobAndConquer/gfx/cutscenes/mission13Start.jpg chmod 0644 $PKG/usr/share/games/blobAndConquer/gfx/rw2/* Thanks in advance for any help, advise, etc. From erik at slackbuilds.org Tue Jun 3 05:31:45 2008 From: erik at slackbuilds.org (Erik Hanson) Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 00:31:45 -0500 Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Updates - 20080602 Message-ID: <20080603003145.13a2acad@shaggy.scooby> Mon Jun 2 21:52:19 UTC 2008 audio/moodbar: Added - This plugin provides moodbar functionality for Amarok.

I don't think this is going to happen, not only because I know Robby, but because it is in my estimation a stupid idea. The SlackBuild scripts are tested on one and only one version. If you want to use them for another version, you get to deal with any problems (which are rare) that entails. Moreover, the idea of essentially truing any operation that might fail because a newer version has changed things removes the entire point behind explicit failures! If we were to do your suggestion, then why would we use "set -x" or "|| exit" at all? The problem you are hoping for us to fix is one caused by changed upstream between versions. Attempting to anticipate any of these problems is simply impossible. Send all complaints to Chess Griffin . -- It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

This looks to me "the same" as if [ -e $TMP/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/ChangeLog ]; then cp $TMP/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/ChangeLog $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/Changelog fi IMHO this is a crap, why? because in the end, when i see the package with 'installpkg -warn' and notice that there aren't manpages in it BUT its SlackBuild has an 'if [ -d $PKG/usr/man ]; ..' then i start to asking myself if really aren't there manpages in the sourcecode or if something was wrong at build time. If you want to know which are the "affected" SlackBuilds with this "stupid idea", look at http://pastebin.slackadelic.com/587 . ffmpeg makes sence to me, but the others... it's not so clear :P OTOH i didn't say 'add "|| true" to all the lines that could fail because a newer version could change things'. If you thought that, sorry that was not my intention. But what i'm suggesting is, if you are going to try a SlackBuild with a new version then add "|| true" in the line that copy docs files into the docs dir. You can check at the end if there are new/old files to add/erase in the docs dir, how? easy, execute 'installpkg -warn /tmp/$PRGNAM-$VERSION*.tgz and check the diff with the contents of $TMP/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/docs for example, thats all. At least this is what i do when i need to update my SlackBuilds.

Due to this report and a couple of others where the --enable-color-console is causing a problem (and I hear that it's no longer an available option in upstream svn), that will be removed next time MPlayer gets an update from us.

Correct; there's a reason it's not at SlackBuilds.org :) The reason I pointed it out to you is so that you could perhaps merge any good ideas in it with yours and then submit the cumulative result to SlackBuilds.org.

We (the admin team) had a nice discussion of this whole general idea on IRC, and the decision was that we'll all have to agree to disagree on several things :) With the above in mind, I'm not speaking for the team as a whole - just for me - but I understand both sides of the issue. From a user standpoint, it's got to be frustrating to have a package fail to build simply because of a missing documentation file that was removed or renamed by upstream in a version bump. From a developer standpoint, I *want* the build to fail if my script is not doing *everything* exactly as I planned, so yeah, if a piece of documentation that I refer to is not present in the source code, then I want to know about it. hba's comment about the testing for /usr/man directory is appropriate here - I don't like that, as I think the script should "know" whether the directory will exist or not. If it exists, do something with it, or if not, don't; but don't put in a test for something that won't be changing as long as the VERSION does not change. Anyway, long story short, I'm not going to change the wine build script unless it's part of an update to the latest upstream release. I won't prevent another team member from doing so either, of course, but it is my opinion that users building an upstream version of something besides what we've tested and signed off should be prepared for (and ideally check for beforehand) this sort of thing. -RW From didier.spaier at epsm.fr Sun Jun 8 06:38:51 2008 From: didier.spaier at epsm.fr (Didier Spaier) Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2008 08:38:51 +0200 Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] file ChangeLog requested by wine.SlackBuild not present in wine-1.0-rc4 source In-Reply-To: <484B72CF.60200@slackbuilds.org> References: <200806062204.32965.didier.spaier@epsm.fr> <39be090806062305l18c6fe3dv5cd82055060d24e8@mail.gmail.com> <484B72CF.60200@slackbuilds.org> Message-ID: <200806080838.51775.didier.spaier@epsm.fr> Le Sunday 08 June 2008 07:49:03 Robby Workman, vous avez ?crit?: > Anyway, long story short, I'm not going to change the wine build > script unless it's part of an update to the latest upstream release. > I won't prevent another team member from doing so either, of course, > but it is my opinion that users building an upstream version of > something besides what we've tested and signed off should be prepared > for (and ideally check for beforehand) this sort of thing. > > -RW Thank's for your answer, Robby.

If so, maybe you should mail the person who packaged it for LP and tell them to provide you with full sources, including any scripts used to build the package.

So here's what I have been told over at mplayer-users: MPlayer uses x264 in two ways. One way is mplayer directly, which uses merely the high-level api of x264, which is considered pretty stable. The other is via ffmpeg's libs. Those use more internal api calls which do still change and might cause problems. The default use of x264 is via mplayer's own libraries (ie libmpcodecs), which should also work if we update just x264. However there might be issues if we leave MPlayer behind, at least with the included ffmpeg libs. Basically from my point of view we should at least update ffmpeg and x264 when updating MPlayer to a new version. Updating x264 or ffmpeg later on might probably work or not. It's probably best considered at that moment. There's also the option to use svn-version of MPlayer. From what I read the release-tarballs are not considered more stable than the svn-version.

Ah, well. Something went belly up. After copying all /var/lib/pgsql/ to /usr4/pgsql_old/, I ran '/etc/rc.d/rc.posgresql stop' and was told that it did stop. Then I ran 'upgradepkg postgresql-8.3.3*tgz', and that seemed to do its thing (but it could not find the pid file which should not be present in a stopped process).

Sigh. Our rc.script should warn you that database cluster isn't initialized, maybe rc script isn't copied during upgrade, check for /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql.new file? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks, for the warning, I've uploaded the build script with the new version. By the way fakeroot is a little bit problematic, because the source of the old versions are always deleted from main site. If I follow the new release a few week later, plus there is a one week delay for accepting the new package than there always will be at least one month per year when the fakeroot package will be bad.

So after a few reading, (i'm using the kdm login manager) i found out that to properly use openbox, it must be launch with openbox-session and not openbox, altough both will work, the openbox will not use autostart.sh. In your package after installing, it does create the file in /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/openbox.desktop but it launches the openbox (exec=openbox and tryecec=openbox) while it should be exec=/usr/bin/openbox-session and tryexec=/usr/bin/openbox-session. So if you could fix (i think it's your slackbuild file) it would be great. Cheers and congrats on your excellent work. By the way is there a way to make a slackbuild that would compile a package for openoffice.org-"some country language".tgz?

You can also take a look at my openbox package at http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openbox/ - the .desktop files in the package will start openbox-session (I did not have to do a thing for that) and I also added a xinitrc file to be used with xwmconfig if you do not use runlevel 4. I use this package successfully as part of my LXDE desktop environment, but KDM recognizes the three session types "openbox", "openbox-gnome" and "openbox-kde".

As Robby indicated, my CPU cycles are pretty much maxed at the moment. My wife and I are packing up our house this week and moving with our two young'uns. :-) In fact, my intertubes connection will be disrupted any moment now and won't be re-established for a week or two. However, once I get back online and in the swing of things, I will definitely take a close look at this and see if I can update it. I've got several other SBo updates that I need to work on as well.

I'm pretty sure the OpenBox documentation tells you that you are supposed to use openbox-session if you want the autostart.sh file to be used.? If you look through the upstream sources it will become apparent to you, and it is the reason I had Chess change xinitrc.openbox to execute 'openbox-session' instead of 'openbox'. --phil --- On Mon, 6/23/08, Bruno Queiros wrote: From: Bruno Queiros Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: bug on openbox package To: slackbuilds-users at slackbuilds.org Date: Monday, June 23, 2008, 2:44 PM ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bruno Queiros Date: 2008/6/23 Subject: bug on openbox package To: mailman at slackbuilds.org I've been dealing a long time with a minor on openbox package, the openbox install ok, but it doesn't create the openbox config files on the user's home, and most important it doesn't use the autostart.sh feature, witch is needed to launch certain programs. So after a few reading, (i'm using the kdm login manager) i found out that to properly use openbox, it must be launch with openbox-session and not openbox, altough both will work, the openbox will not use autostart.sh. In your package after installing, it does create the file in? /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/openbox.desktop? but it launches the openbox (exec=openbox and tryecec=openbox) while it should be exec=/usr/bin/openbox-session and tryexec=/usr/bin/openbox-session. So if you could fix (i think it's your slackbuild file) it would be great. Cheers and congrats on your excellent work. By the way is there a way to make a slackbuild that would compile a package for openoffice.org-"some country language".tgz? I mean installing an user interface for openoffice in other language then english?

The openbox.desktop file that is in question is actually a part of the kdebase package.? It doesn't get used until there is a xinitrc file for openbox available.? The openbox slackBuild has the xinitrc's for openbox (session), openbox-KDE, and openbox-GNOME, and the corresponding .desktop files are in /usr/share/xsessions/openbox*.? This seemed to work fine in Slackware 12.0, but I don't think KDM in Slackware 12.1 looks there anymore.? As a result only the stock openbox.desktop file (under /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions from the kdebase package) is used. The solution is to either move or symlink the created .desktop files under /usr/share/xsessions/ so that they are in /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ If you don't want the stock .desktop file to be overwritten (this is ideal), you should rename the new openbox.desktop file to openbox-session.desktop and change the "Name" field to something like Openbox-Session.? The slackBuild README should then inform the user to use Openbox-Session if they want to use the autostart file. Hopefully this clears everything up. --phil --- On Tue, 6/24/08, Chess Griffin wrote: From: Chess Griffin Subject: Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: bug on openbox package To: "Robby Workman" , "SlackBuilds.org Users List" , bqueiros at gmail.com, alien at slackbuilds.org Date: Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 2:22 PM On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 6:03 PM, Robby Workman wrote: > Please preserve CC list. > > > Bruno Queiros wrote: > >> I've been dealing a long time with a minor on openbox package, the openbox >> install ok, but it doesn't create the openbox config files on the user's >> home, and most important it doesn't use the autostart.sh feature, witch is >> needed to launch certain programs.

I'm not sure about wxX11, but you will certainly have to remove wxGTK, as wxPython already ships it and therefore overwrites the files of the previously installed wxGTK.

It's strange that it still need gnomeprint related libs even if I configured wxPython with "--without-gnomeprint" option.
