Time for a new release of tools. This time a new version of Compile, Scripts and BootScripts will be made. Here comes the release candidates and major changes for each tool. Please install and test them thoroughly, as, if nothing is reported, they will be final at the end of the weekend.
Not counting all bugfixes, here are the major changes: Compile: http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/packages/Compile--1.11.3rc1--i686.tar.bz2 * Many changes and improvements to use flags. These change is mostly for recipe writers. Some examples are that with_foo variables can be arrays and support for use flags with meta "tags" (with_foo_include). * Bugfix for bad behaviour with UnmanagedFiles and paths * Better symlink behaviour with Compile. It's now possible to control how symlink conflicts should be handled whan calling Compile and subrecipes of meta recipes inherits symlink_options from it parent recipes (think Xorg/Xorg-Lib and --conflict=overwrite). Scripts: http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/packages/Scripts--2.9.5rc1--i686.tar.bz2 * Support for generic flags. This means that users can specify for example "gui" use flag and will have best(1) gui flag (2) enabled for a recipe. * Default GenericFlags.conf and updated DistFlags.conf (the latter ironically mostly affects users that don't bother about use flags). * Fix for environment when using GCC >= 4.3 * Bugfixes for rootless (specifically for Darwin and Cygwin) * Support for Docbook XML * Support for ScrollKeeper (last great obstacle for Gnome is now gone). BootScripts: http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/packages/BootScripts--2.1.5rc1--i686.tar.bz2 * Logging boot to file is extended. We now have full boot log. -- /Jonas 1) The algorithm for deciding which is "best" flag is first check if any flag is already enabled. If so use that, otherwice use first flag available in the recipe. 2) User specified in a list in GenericFlags.conf, though a default set is shipped with scripts. _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
