Hey folks,

I'm mostly detailing these so I don't forget by the time this system is commit-ready, but if anyone else gets to them first, please - feel free to fix them.

Libevdev: The test suite can and will put a system capable of suspend to sleep. I got blindsided by this, and because I don't have full ACPI support until kernel 4.19.x ships out, I had to reboot the machine as it didn't come back up properly. I think a note needs to be added to the test suite instructions to specify that this happens.

I do not agree with adding a note.  By the time we are ready to
release, 4.19.x will be out (and we will probably be well beyond 4.19
by then.)


This isn't a kernel issue, this is a tests issue. The comment I made regarding "coming out of standby" isn't a libevdev problem. However, the fact that the tests put the system into standby in the first place needs to be documented.

at-spi2-core: The 'memory' tests fail if the at-spi2-core service is not running, meaning that either a previous version must be present on the system, or 'ninja install' needs to be run first.

OK, move the tests to the end. We do that on a few other packages also.

OpenJPEG for some reason isn't installing ANY libraries after adding -DENABLE_STATIC_LIBS=OFF. If we are that picky about static libraries, we should just remove it manually.

Confirmed.  It appears to be an error in OpenJPEG cmake files.  The
easiest fix is to just 'rm /usr/lib/libopenjp2.a'


See Ken's comment, I just ran into this as well. I just elected to leave the static library installed.

Poppler 0.6{8,9}.0 breaks Inkscape, and a patch needs to be generated to fix it.

Fix poppler or inkscape?   Inkscape an poppler do not seem to get
along well.  My initial thought is that inkscape is doing some unusual
things.


Inkscape isn't the only thing that has required fixes because of changes in poppler. IIRC, Texlive has well.

Poppler's developers have a very bad habit of making huge API changes and not specifying that they made them. Poppler should either make minor version jumps that specify large changes, or make a major version anytime that they do them. They have a very bad habit of breaking API/ABI compatibility between releases.

I downgraded to 0.67.0 for now.
