Popular Packages From SFE

I've been a bit suprised what packages are popular. That people like LibeOffice is easly understood. But today I realized that "unbound" DNS is very popular too!

From Sep 7th to Nov 17th I can count 93 manifest downloads for "service/network/dns/unbound" by "pkg". A rough estimate can be that all those are unique installs.

Thank you for using SFE!

If you can talk on your channels please do so (IRC, blog, mail, collegues, IT friends, ...)!

Thomas

Hi TomWW,

any chance to re-compile LibreOffice for OI, but using its libraries?
For example:
* library/audio/gstreamer
* x11/library/libglew

There are probably more...

Hi Predrag,

I haven't heard from pjama in australia who is working on an updated LO version. I think he is busy at the moment.

A think a plan could be to either find/ally workarounds for recent hipster now or try in january to do a recompile.

If the libsmbclient workaround (version / facet unlock) is still neccessary is something to start with.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Predrag,
I've build a new package libglew, so that package conflict should now be solved.
It works on Hipster versions (and later):
system/kernel@0.5.11-2017.0.0.16925
In case there is the need for older hipster version, then please drop me a note. In that case I'll either update the dependency in the metadata or rebuild the package on an older hipster image.
If gstreamer is still a blocker, then please drop me a note.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for calling me! So, it works like charm:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice5.2/program/soffice.bin | grep libGLEW.so
libGLEW.so => /usr/gnu/lib/libGLEW.so

$ pkg search -l /usr/gnu/lib/libGLEW.so
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
path link usr/gnu/lib/libGLEW.so pkg:/sfe/library/libglew@1.13.0-0.2017.0.0.5

$ pkg info pkg:/sfe/library/libglew
Name: sfe/library/libglew

Hi,

unfortunalty the last update to the SFEgcc package introduced a conflicting IPS file action. The Java compiler "gcj" introduced a directory "pkgconfig" that unfortunalty has a deviating user-group assigned, so IPS rejects the install if another package with differend directoy group is already present.

I'm currently working on a fresh gcc package in SFE that resolved this issue. In the meantime one could try to reject exacltly the package gcc-runtime@4.9.4,5.11-0.2017.0.0.5:20180215T234143Z

Another untested solution could be if you want to udpate only the OS, then restrict the update to the publisher of the OS. I think this could avoid the automatic attempt to update the SFE gcc package.

I'll post an update once this is resolved.

Thanks for using SFE!

Regards,
Thomas
