The 5.17.0 kernel won't be released for another week or two and at that time Mr. Volkerding may elect to add it to -current. However, if the kernel developers follow the same pattern as they have in the past, the 5.16.y series won't go End Of Life until the 5.17.y series has been out for four or five weeks.

Just re-read, hopefully the avahi library will allow network capability, cause my printer is indeed a network printer, not connected to any computer but via ethernet to my router; so --disable-network-build might be a problem for me.

I very much hope hplip will be well supported on SBo including avahi, because
i very much hope that avahi won't sneak in slackware.
Avahi will link to various other packages and then can't simply uninstalled if disliked.
I guess avahi was never raised as a request, it just tries to be unavoidable.

Would it be possible to have a boost rebuild with this patch from upstream? A few libraries are missing in both -current and 15.0:

Code:

/usr/lib64/libboost_fiber.so.1.78.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_addr2line.so.1.78.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_basic.so.1.78.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_noop.so.1.78.0

Do you have examples of apps that need those libraries? (so we have test cases)

pghvlaans · 03-07-2022, 07:51 AM

No non-third-party packages off the top of my head, sorry. I found out that libboost_fiber was gone when I was trying to build hhvm from the slackbuilds.org master branch.

It is unfortunate, since even the likes of LibreOffice and vlc requires it - but that is not really an issue when you can build avahi yourself - now HPLIP requires it too, hopefully the library of avahi is enough, and that network capability still works - again at least that is the 'work-around', building just a library supposedly.

it seem "boost" need two patch:

https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_78_0.html

(Known Issues
These are patches from library authors which were found too late to be fixed in the release.

Boost.Build silently skips installation of library headers and binaries in some cases, see #104.
Fixed in PR#113, patch.
Boost.Atomic fails to build when targeting UWP, see #54. Patch.)

patch:

https://www.boost.org/patches/1_78_0...-install.patch

Add a section for GRUB configuration. Checking Slackware-HOWTO in both --current and 15.0 and there is really nothing for GRUB not even basic info / setup at least:

Quote:

4. Installing the Slackware distribution

4.1 The ADDSWAP option
4.2 The TARGET option
4.3 The SOURCE option
4.4 The SELECT option
4.5 The INSTALL option
4.6 The CONFIGURE option
4.7 LILO
4.8 Networking

Speaking of GRUB, (if someone can help Pat) , add an option during the install to provide a choice, install GRUB or LILO - or GRUB or ELILO (for UEFI). Just a thought.

FYI
Pat has already expressed his (future) interest in Didier Spaier "Slint" Grub config (in the changelog)

Code:

...
If your requests didn't make it
into this iteration, perhaps we will revisit them for the next -current cycle.
Some were just a little too late but will more than likely be needed next time
(I'm looking at Didier's grubconfig)

That partially answers my request, but then again I assume once GRUB is potentially added to the installer as an option; the update to the howto will obviously follow accordingly anyways.

Tangent: Speaking of the installer, I still rather hoped that the outputs will still be changed - in terms of either choosing menu or expert - they are both exactly the same, so I still think either one (probably menu) , should be removed - if not at least the output should be changed to terse as it seems to be slightly accelerating the speed of the install.
