[oi-dev] LibreOffice: librevenge, libodfgen, libwpd, libwpg
Hi, I submitted the PRs for the aforementioned libraries compiled in 32bit only as LibreOffice will certainly be their only consumer: they can be added as 64bit later on if needed. The Wiki was updated accordingly: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/LibreOffice If someone wants to contribute one of the remaining libs please drop me a line.

[oi-dev] Hipster News 2015W31: First issue !
Hello, this message is the first instance of the Hipster News Bi-weekly. Every two weeks, we will try to give a comprehensive overview of the recent progress: - developments, - new and updated packages, - current known issues, - works-in-progress and future goals. This will hopefully allow you to get better understanding of the current activity and give you the opportunity to provide insights and feedback. We will also post these news to a blog entry (yet to be defined). There has been a lot of activity in the past weeks in oi-userland [1], summarized below: most notable being the encumbered repository. 1. Hipster encumbered repository The encumbered repository for Hipster [2] was created to provide multimedia software which used to be part of sfe-encumbered. As a first step ffmpeg 2.7.2 and dependencies were added. You can find a list of components which ought to be added in the coming weeks, on the Wiki page [3]. Contributing new components is as easy as: - forking + cloning the oi-userland repository, - copying one subdirectory of components/encumbered to get started, - modify the Makefile and add patches if necessary such that ‘gmake install’ succeeds, - generating a manifest with ‘gmake sample-manifest’ and modifying it if necessary, - creating a pull-request. 2. Summary of oi-userland activity Additions: - encumbered: ffmpeg 2.7.2 + dependent libraries - openal 1.16.0 - bullet 2.83 - inkscape 0.48.5 Updates: - Apache 2.4.16 - Lighttpd 1.4.36 - Perl 5.22 (in progress) - PHP 5.5.27, 5.4.43 - freetype 2.5.5 - libdrm to 2.4.62 - nodejs 0.12.7 - several X11 components and libraries, in sync with x-s12-clone - Boost 1.58 with MPI support - Compiz Fusion 8.10 Deprecations: - Apache 1.3 - MySQL 5.1 - Perl 5.10 (see Heads-up below !) Current goals: - add GTK3: requires atk, gobject-introspection update first - port of LibreOffice 4.4.x: warm thanks to Apostolos Syroupolos for contributing the librevenge component, any help is appreciated ! [4] - update Pulseaudio to 6.0: in progress - add more components to hipster-encumbered, priority being VLC and gstreamer bad/ugly codecs 3. Heads-up: Perl 5.10 deprecation Removal of Perl 5.10 means that default illumos.sh will not work any longer and you need to add : export PERL_VERSION="5.22"; export PERL_PKGVERS="-522" to illumos.sh while compiling illumos-gate.

[oi-dev] [HEADSUP] Perl 5.22 integration in OpenIndiana Hipster
We now have Perl 5.22 as our main Perl version. During Perl 5.22 integration some old packages, including Apache 1.3, MySQL 5.1 and Perl 5.10, were removed. We deliver all perl 5.22 modules which were delivered for Perl 5.16 earlier. Almost all perl 5.16 modules and Perl 5.16 are kept (the only removed module is graphviz perl module, which had conflicts with Perl 5.22 module). Removal of Apache 1.3 means that you can't longer build old illumos-gate versions. Luckily, illumos-gate builds nicely with Apache 2.2 since February. We suggest you to use either percona-server or mariadb instead of mysql. Removal of Perl 5.10 is more important. It was a relict inherited from OI /dev and still is used in OI /dev to build illumos-gate. This means that to build illumos-gate 1) you should have runtime/perl-522/module/sun-solaris and library/perl-5/xml-parser-522 installed (they will be installed automatically on pkg update), 2) you should set export PERL_VERSION="5.22" export PERL_PKGVERS="-522" in your illumos.sh. -- System Administrator of Southern Federal University Computer Center ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev

That doesn't seem right. Dconf itself doesn't need gtk3, although dconf-editor does.

Re: [oi-dev] Effort focus
Hi, OK, that is weird because altough I built part of MATE with GTK2, there is a dependency to dconf which requires GTK3. Maybe I missed some flag.

Re: [oi-dev] Effort focus
Hi Aurélien, I actually didn't meet this issue as I partially built MATE against GTK2. I supposed I assumed that building something that looks like Gnome 2 would be easier on a platform that supports Gnome 2 already. This was my first mistake learning wisdom is a long path. These dependencies are related to GTK3, when I come back in September I'll try to set up a GTK3 build. Then, I'll see what breaks. Desktop wise, I was thinking would it be wiser to keep a close look to what the BSD guys are doing as they have the same issue than OI which is more and more dependencies on linux core features (systemd, udev, authentication/authorisation mechanism,... ).

Hi. I think that MATE would be a valuable thing, and it worth to try making it work, but you can underestimate the work wich is necessary to make it functional. What about GTK3, you can look at https://java.net/projects/solaris-desktop/sources/spec-files/ , it has base-specs/gtk3.spec, SUNWgtk3.spec and SUNWgtk3-engines.spec. They are a valuable starting point. Note, that I couldn't find when you can witch branches int web ui, perhaps you'll have to clone the repo and switch manually to gnome-2-30-s12 branch to see the specs. --- System Administrator of Southern Federal University Computer Center ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev -- --- LARCHER Aurélien | KTH, School of Computer Science and Communication Work: +46 (0) 8 790 71 42 | Lindstedtsvägen 5, Plan 4 , 100 44 Stockholm, SWEDEN --- ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev

Having GTK3 spec files are a good news. I'll focus on that then so we got a GTK3 to build on. I'll leave MATE aside for the moment as we have a working desktop.
