We are doing quite well working towards our 8.3 release. Here is a
summary of what needs to be done with a few comments. Please go ahead
and comment in line or in the open tickets.
Tickets can be viewed at
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/<ticket-number>
Packages that need to be updated:
chapter 06: mousepad 0.4.0 0.4.1 #10834
chapter 06: qemu 2.12.1 3.0.0 #11015
chapter 12: sysstat 11.6.3 11.6.5 #10800
chapter 13: apache-ant 1.10.3 1.10.5 #10896
chapter 13: gdb 8.1 8.1.1 #10981
chapter 13: jdk 10.0.1+10 10.0.2+13 #10959
chapter 20: dovecot 2.3.2 2.3.2.1 #10933
chapter 24: intel-vaapi-driver 2.1.0 2.2.0 #10944
chapter 24: libva 2.1.0 2.2.0 #10944
chapter 43: balsa 2.5.5 2.5.6 #10838
chapter 43: gimp 2.10.4 2.10.6 #11038
chapter 43: seamonkey 2.49.3 2.49.4 #10978
chapter 43: tigervnc 1.8.0 1.9.0 #10956
chapter 50: cups-filters 1.20.4 1.21.0 #11048
chapter 50: fop 2.2 2.3 #10811
I plan on working qemu and tigervnc tonight and tomorrow,
I'm concerned about apache, jdk, fop, apache-ant as they are all java
related. In the past, these have proven to be difficult to get the build
instructions accurate. I'm not opposed to just removing all references
to java from the book.
We need someone with intel video to do intel-vaapi-driver. I can do it,
but I'll have to start with a new LFS build on my laptop.
===========
Other tickets that are not package updates:
Find a replacement for freetts
search.cpan.org is shutting down
Rebase wpa_supplicant security patch to include new vulnerability fix
Refactor the java pages
junit 4.12 does not build with java 10
The last two have to do with java and should be integrated with the
packages above.
freetts is presently archived and we can just close that ticket or move
it to another milestone.
===========
transcode has a note in the xml that it is broken. Is what we have for
that page OK? Do ws want to keep transcode?
===========
The midori web site updated a couple of days ago and the source is no
longer available there. Should we just archive midori? We can put the
current version of th esource on anduin.
===========
Tickets in "hold" status:
chapter 44: x264 20180819 daily #7555
chapter 11: ImageMagick6 6.9.9-35 6.9.10-10 #7859
chapter 13: rustc 1.25.0 1.28.0 #9168
chapter 37: Thunar 1.7.0 1.8.1 #10163
chapter 37: thunar-volman 0.8.1 0.9.0 #10163
chapter 17: alpine 2.21 2.21.999 #10188
chapter 10: librsvg 2.42.2 2.42.7 #10477
The only thing here to address is whether we need to update ImageMagick6
or not. The only packages that use it are inkscape (recommended) and
emacs (optional).
==========
Tagging:
This is going well, but there are still about 290 packages to go. About
430 have been tagged already. Please jup in a tag what you can.
Scheduled release is a week from Saturday so there is adequate time to
address everything.
