Just a Heads Up to anyone else who updates firefox on older systems (and thereefore needs to update rust for 1.32.0 : If using python-3.6 (i.e. 8.2 and older) there are 223 extra tests failures, all in rustdoc.
For the book's firefox (docs omitted to save time and space), that probably doesn't matter - but for using it more generally it seems a bad idea. The obvious quick fix is to use python2 in this situation. The alternative is to upgrade python3 to the current 3.7 series - this mail is intended as a reminder that ALL packages which installed modules for 3 need to be rebuilt when upgrading to a newer minor version (technically, the same is true for python2, but 2.7 is hopefully the last-ever minor version). I happened to list my installed modules a bit over a year ago (which fits well with the need to update my 8.1, 8.2 BLFS systems). other people maybe installed other programs which also had python3 modules, but for me the following programs will need to be updated if they are currently installed, in the correct order: Now in LFS: meson Python3 (of course) Modules dbus-python lxml Mako MarkupSafe pycairo pygobject3 pyparsing Six Other programs gedit gexiv2 lensfun (not in the book, I tried this a couple of times in the past) newt ISTR there is also an optional dependency for Falkon - PySide2. But people who use that have probably moved on to using pip to install modules. ĸen -- thread 'main' panicked at 'giraffe', /tmp/rustc-1.32.0-src/src/test/run-fail/while-panic.rs:17:13 -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
