[Slackbuilds-users] libhandy about to update to 1.8.3

[Jay Lanagan]

 Nwg-shell works as intended with the latest libhandy as I actively maintain the environment on current, where it’s included within Slackware. Gnome should be fine as well, but I may be mis-remembering how 41/42 works, I’ll assume 0xBob will pipe in if there’s any pre-existing issues with it.

If your build appears on this list: https://slackbuilds.org/advsearch.php?stype=revdep&q=libhandy ...then you should test it with libhandy-1.8.3. To do this, download the source from https://download.gnome.org/sources/libhandy/1.8/libhandy-1.8.3.tar.xz, make sure gi-docgen is installed (it's a new dependency for libhandy), and run libhandy.SlackBuild with VERSION=1.8.3 set in the environment. Then install/upgrade the package you just built. I've test-built everything on the list except nwg-shell (because it has 106 dependencies) and epiphany (waiting for webkit2gtk-4.1 to finish building, as I write this). Everything builds fine with the new libhandy. I didn't run-test everything: I don't run Wayland so I didn't try to run SwayNotificationCenter or nwg-panel. Some of the GNOME components won't work outside of a GNOME session (the ones that will, seem to run correctly). Details here: https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/src/libhandy-testing.20240729.txt My run-testing isn't in-depth: I don't use any of these applications, so mostly I just made sure they'd start up, and do some simple things (e.g. view one image in gnome-photos, get one set of directions from gnome-maps). The maintainers of these builds should really do their own in-depth testing. If nobody reports any problems by Friday, the libhandy update will be merged in the next weekly update.
