Been there too. For junit, I have added a sed to the book, which allows to build junit-4.11. For junit-4.12, or junit-5.0.x, the build system is maven, so it is a big change, and not suitable for 8.2. Note that we should move to maven for 8.3, since fop can be built with maven too (and is deprecating ant builds).
I agree with that approach. I tagged junit-4.11 earlier today.
For freetts, the same trick as for junit allows to compile, but then the excutable fails with an exception about type casting. I'd suggest archiving freetts now, and moving to flite after 8.2.
We can do that. Please open a ticket for 8.3 though. I'll archive freetts.
other issues: I am also seeing the flickering in abiword, as reported in https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791. Looks like the bug is not fixed upstream. Do not know exactly what to do. The proposed patch is big, and does not apply cleanly to recent versions of abiword.
I read through the bug. Last entry was September. Did you try changing themes? abiword builds and runs for me. I don't see any flickering, but I am running over ssh. The cursor does seem to be a bit erratic as the blink rate varies and sometimes disappears completely for several seconds.
The only options I can see are to include a big warning or to just archive it.
Also a few things I am seeking advice about: On the Mutt page, there is: "Mutt will rebuild the html documentation if libxslt is present, then use that to update the text manual - even if none of the specified browsers are present. That will create an empty text file, so we will save the shipped file.", and then, nothing is saved. Should this sentence be commented out?
I haven't got to mutt yet, but I'd like to get Ken's opinion.
I do not like the sed in ptlib, I'd rather use --disable-odbc (nothing uses ptlib with odbc anyway). See my preceding message about ptlib.
See my reply in the other thread.
And last, all the test in perl File::BaseDir in the userdirs.t part have failed for me. I guess there is a conflict with xdg-user-dirs, which I am using for LXQt. Should this be mentioned?
