[Slackbuilds-users] misc/po4a: is `su -' requirement only about kpsewhich?

2016-10-31 Thread Arkadiusz Drabczyk 
In misc/po4a README it says:

"WARNING: run po4a.SlackBuild as root (su -) not with only root
privileges (su), otherwise test #24 will fail."

I did some tests and it seems that it's enough to add
/usr/share/texmf/bin/ directory to $PATH for test #24 to pass.  The
warning is here because in standard Slackware setup this directory
which contains kpsewich is added to $PATH by /etc/profile.d/tetex.sh.
I think that current warning is quite uninformative and it only hides
the real reason why test #24 fails without `su -'.  It could it be
improved, for example:

"WARNING: run po4a.SlackBuild as root (su -) not with only root
privileges (su) to have /usr/share/texmf/bin/kpsewhich in $PATH,
otherwise test #24 will fail."

What do you think?

You make a good point. That ChangeLog only goes back to July 2, 2016,
which is when Slack 14.2 was released. The removed packages were removed
before that (mid-January 2016).

Also good points.

In theory, every user reads every line of Slackware's ChangeLog, so they'd
know that package XYZ got added to Slackware & therefore won't be on SBo
any more. But that's like saying every user has the time/energy/skill
to read the source code of all open source software they use (just plain
not true).

Also for these particular packages, they aren't mentioned in the Slack
ChangeLog (they became part of the perl package, but none of the perl-*
entries mention the modules by name).

I can't answer that (I speak only for myself, not the SBo team).
However...

The git log is actually there on the site, just not obvious. At
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/ there are links at the bottom:

Access to the repository is available via: ftp git cgit http rsync

The git log can be found in your browser by clicking on the cgit
link... or by using git to clone the URL in the git link. But the site
documentation (FAQ and HOWTO) don't mention this. And, if a user's not
familiar with git and/or cgit, he might have a hard time finding what
he's looking for.

For your missing packages, you could enter the package name in the search
box on the main cgit page... if that helps any in the future. It'd be
nice to add this info to the FAQ.

It might be something you'd be interested in.


Exactly what I was thinking of and maybe something of interest to SBo team:

Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Perl modules orphaned between 14.1 and 14.2

About this message:

The issue is that there's no mention at all in the ChangeLog:

https://slackbuilds.org/ChangeLog.txt

There is no metion of any git log on any part of the SlackBuild website.

Any user looking to maintain its system would be at a loss.

The question is: where should I follow the SlackBuilds.org changes: at
the ChangeLog which is published and advertised at the website, or at
some git log whose mention is nowhere on the SlackBuilds.org page?

Thanks,


Eduardo

The git log has the reason. For all 4 modules:

Tried from two different systems on different networks, both times:

Login incorrect.


That's what i got from the texlive-mailinglist:


   Connecting to tug.org (tug.org)|130.225.2.178|:21... connected.
   Logging in as anonymous ...

It is common for all the anon ftp slots on tug to get used up by
stupid robots or whatever. Despite my limiting by IP address, etc.


   beside that there's also the rsync-able svn,

In addition to the svn, the whole historic/ directory is available by
rsync ... tug.org::historic/systems/texlive/2016/

   On ctan there is
   http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/Source/texlive-20160520-
source.tar.xz,
   which is not same release tarball.

Oops. I updated the directories on tug. I'm not sure if CTAN mirrors
that directory continuously or only when I ask them to update. We'll 
see

what happens in the next 24 hours or so ... --thanks, karl.


So, there may be an alternative Download location soon on CTAN.


It's now on CTAN :-)
http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/Source/texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz

I'll put this source in the .info-file on the next update.
