[Slackbuilds-users] can't uninstall dehydrated

2019-07-04 Thread David Melik
    Lately I installed the other Lets Encrypt clients, and tried to 
uninstall them.  Every day now (despite having rebooted) I get an email 
message from my server (cron for user root /usr/bin/dehydrated -c 
>/dev/null) '/bin/sh: /usr/bin/dehydrated: No such file or directory.'  
However, I don't have this in my crontab for root.  How do I get rid of 
this message?
    I might reinstall it but first need to hear back about what went 
wrong with my dependencies for the main letsencrypt package.  I believe 
I posted the most recent compilation error, for a dependency, a few days 
ago.

Alright, I think I got the list of all dependencies, removed them, 
started to rebuild them.  However, now one of the dependencies has a 
problem.

Well letsencrypt is kind of a monster program now, not like it used to 
be.  Is there an easy way to get that huge list?

Hi David

i didn't have any issues with certbot on my machines.

there was some issues few months ago due to newer python-urllib3, but it
got fixed now.
can you try to rebuild it?


I tried twice.  The second time I removed and rebuilt all the first 
level of dependencies.  The same thing happens.

I admit that I don't test that particular option combination very

I just rebuilt vlc with OPENCV=yes (using opencv-legacy) and a quick
test of the resulting vlc was fine.

However the wayland option is quite time consuming to test since it
requires qt5 to have been (re)built with wayland, wayland-egl &
wayland-protocols already installed. It's now late enough here that it
will be an overnight job to rebuild qt5 and then vlc.

In the meantime, could you build & test vlc without wayland support?
Success there would indicate that wayland support is the problem. Then
we'd have to figure out a possible fix or just not support that option
any more.

chris



I've now also tried the other way around, enable wayland and disable
opencv (legacy) and it now runs without seg-faulting, which is the
opposite result of your test!. I'm open to more suggestions, 
although at

least it runs now,


I finished building wayland enabled (but otherwise standard) qt5 and vlc
in a stock 14.2 x86_64 VM with opencv-legacy. It runs normally - no
segfault and I can play a test video with it.

When run it from a terminal, the only new output is:
 libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
but it has no apparent effect to the running vlc.

Since you're segfault-free after removing opencv-legacy, I guess that's
the place to look for a cause - perhaps some exotic option it's built 
with?
(looking at opencv-legacy, I built it will all options, including 
ffmpeg which is a recursive dependency via frie0r)


chris

Although without opencv , vlc starts up ok, when I try to play an mp4 
video file i get


codec not supported
VLC could not decode the format "h264" (H264 -MPEG-4 AVC (part 10))

despite the fact that vlc and ffmpeg have been compiled with everything
(all required and optional dependencies) except libva and 
libva-intel-driver

(as I use amd apu's.)
any ideas?


I think I already commented/replied at least once in recent weeks/months 
that vlc hasn't worked for me for over a year.  I get similar errors 
trying to play any sort of video, and it won't compile anymore either.  
I know with some SlackBuilds (such as GNUtella) the flags, that SBo 
administrators have decided should be in every build (fpic, etc.) break 
the SlackBuild.  What about trying it without some of these so-called 
'required'/default flags?  I don't have much hope for vlc because 
actually it's also totally broken when I try to play any video on some 
other GNU/Linux OS distributions that may have official packages...

Chris, Ozab, orbea, reread my original post, particularly 'I don't even

anything to do with it.  You all missed that there's an earlier line, 
'libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate,' and other error lines.  
VLC may now be built to use more parts of display hardware, and Nvidia 
is just something it checks for but is n/a. I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 
Vega 64 with kernel 4.18.11, but I don't think the AMD 3D drivers are 
ready for Slackware 14.2... and unfortunately VLC doesn't give me an 
option to not use such parts that make it crash.

[Slackbuilds-users] new VLC always crashes

after some version of VLC in the last year or so, it always crashes.  I 
did 'sboupgrade -z -f vlc' (rebuild it and all dependencies) and it 
still happens.  It's not an X driver issue as KPlayer and Rosa Player 
work fine (but most other media players, like Xine, MPlayer, Dragon 
Player now also don't.)  Here's the log, but I don't even have any 
Nvidia hardware. I open an .avi or .mp4, then get this sort of crash.

I'm not flaming, just paraphrasing 'If NotepadQQ looks for libwebp at 
runtime that is a "runtime dependency" and the idiots upstream (either 
NotepadQQ or qt5-webkit) should be looking for libwebp.so not 
libwebp.so.x. Install everything for BOINC, including libwebp-1.0.0.

if you upgrade a library to a newer major release with a shared
library version bump, like in your case, you should also rebuild
whatever links against it: I suspect the error you got is because you
have to rebuild qt5 and qt5-webkit (that you built against the old
libwebp in the first place).


Okay; I had done that also but maybe in the wrong order... it's not 
clear again what built 'against' means rather than built 'from' (or 
'depending on')...

[Slackbuilds-users] oidentd?

2018-09-23 Thread David Melik
The oidentd on SBo is several versions behind.  I asked the maintainer a 
few days ago, got no reply.

Makes sense now.  Recently I hneed libwebp 0.5.1 for kingbeowulf's not-
yet-submitted BOINC SlackBuild so might wait until it updates, or might
test rebuilding notepadqq and reinstall.

I'd like to see notepadqq replace KATE, which has inadequate/broken tab
bars.

Except for year, it was the same.  The year looked too old (2007) so I
reinstalled that package then successfully built open-adventure.  I
have no idea what SlackBuild would've installed an old version.

My replies didn't show up on Gmane earlier.  I guess it's still read-
only?

[Slackbuilds-users] long-time build errors (open-adventure, notepadqq, sbocheck of adobe-reader & VariCAD)

2018-08-06 Thread David Melik
Notepadqq won't work when there's a libwebp version after 0.5.n, though 
not a dependency (and not dependency of a dependency?)  The maintainer 
said recompile with a new libwebp.  I did, then notepadqq wouldn't run, 
and I notified him, but didn't hear back (months ago.)  People need 
libwebp updated for other SBo packages, so we can't have 'dependency 
Hell' starting.


I have adobe-reader and sbocheck always says it has to be rebuilt as 
9.5.5 rather than the current 9.5.5_enu.
I have VariCAD and and sbocheck always says it has to be rebuilt for 
2013_2.01 rather than the current 2013_2.01_en.


I get this error compiling open-adventure (for months.)

It's not something important enough to me that I'd want to maintain, but 
I don't recommend removing pidgin-skypeweb, as the author updated it to 
skype4pidgin without correctly changing the name. Original skype4pidgin 
seems to have been for older Slackware.

Isn't pidgin-skypeweb, which long ago changed name to skype4pidgin, 
still maintained for the SlackBuild?  The SlackBuild version is 1.2.2, 
nearing two years old.  The latest version--if you exclude git--is 1.5!

[Slackbuilds-users] using SlackBuilds listserv/newsgroup and sbopkg?

2018-01-19 Thread David Melik
After big changes to Gmane last year or two, I rejoined this listserv, 
but unsubscribed, just reading in the newsgroup and archives.  I also 
preferred to post in the newsgroup, but is that now impossible 
(read-only?)  I'd like to have cross-posted to the next part to 
news://gmane.linux.slackware.sbopkg and maybe some general Slackware 
news-/discussion-group (well, I still use the Usenet one, not usually as 
much as Linux Questions web-forum.)


Some years ago I told an older friend (who got me into IBM-compatible 
PCs, now incorrectly a.k.a. 'PCs,' as also Apples/etc., laptops, pads, 
phones are grouped under the term) how I hate how installation 
(Slackware installer, sbopkg, etc.) with GNU Dialog looks like 1980s 
versions of DOS on 80x25 screen but with the text box fit within to 
'look nice' (actually look like Windows windows, perhaps, which should 
be criticized) but is just super-small.  It was fine for me 21 years 
ago, not now.  He commented, he knows how he could easily alter 
installers so they fit or even automatically resize to largest VESA text 
modes and newer screens, but said he's 'too busy slacking' (yet deals 
with this in the installer and sbopkg, agrees with me) then switched to 
avoiding computers except at work, and using some newer garbage systemd 
distro.  After he told me, I spent hours looking in the sbopkg code 
(maybe even Slackware installer,) reading about Dialog, maybe even tried 
a couple things (didn't work,) but it was just too difficult for me to 
be able to resize.  Would anyone else be able to try that and submit 
patches?


Surely at least some other text mode is considered standard now, or even 
if not necessarily resizable, wouldn't passing a size 
argument/flag/switch option be better?  Also really, the current case of 
maybe 8/9 the screen just being blue background is almost useless.  I 
like the large background option in Slackware's installer (as long as I 
'install all,' since one must, to get help on freenode IRC ##slackware, 
but there are other installation situations) but not in sbopkg.  Even 
Slackware's installer, I think, resizes text boxes for huge descriptions 
of packages.


Many/most software descriptions just go past the end of the small line 
in sbopkg, yet every few weeks/months, I love just going through entire 
software categories in sbopkg to double-check what else I want to 
install.  Usually I find several or 10+ things (if you don't even count 
dependencies,) but sometimes it's impossible to read or becomes to 
stressful (reading hundreds of lines fast in a small area) to get to the 
end, so I know I also miss many things I'd have installed or had been 
spending months looking for.  So, the state of being able to install 
nowadays, it's just almost unusable.

[Slackbuilds-users] Elvio Basello? (SlackBuilds no longer updated)

2018-01-08 Thread David Melik
A couple times the last few years I tried to use Elvio Basello's 
kvirc.SlackBuild ( 
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/kvirc/ .)  I think I 
emailed him before, and just a few minutes ago, and this (and last?) 
time, slackware.it says something like that user doesn't exist.


His KVIRC build is now seven years old, after which a new stable version 
was released that year.


I'm wondering what happened, and, as an alternative/second IRC client, 
would like to try KVIRC again... but it's not clear Elvio is even active 
for SBo for years...


I don't like KVIRC enough that I'd attempt to continue the build if it 
became too difficult.  It's nice it has avatars, and a huge list of 
servers/networks, but most the rest of it wasn't that good, and it's 
definitely worse (one of the worst?) for IRC operator usage compared to 
HexChat and maybe others.

SAGE really has many issues, and I'd still like to use it, but am 
skeptical whether it's worth anyone making a SlackBuild until the SAGE 
programmers take most users into consideration.


One of my mathematics professors suggested it years ago as a FLOSS 
alternative to Mathematica.  I installed it (maybe beforehand,) noticed 
SAGE could only be set up as if you're running it on some 
organization's/company's server, i.e., runs as a daemon with a password, 
so I didn't use it.


If SAGE programmers think even 99.9% (roughly 1/1000 university students 
major in math) of mathematicians are going to use it that way, its 
programmers seem to have a significant mental challenge (debilitating 
usability) thinking how most people will use it: as curious/student 
people, etc. (including before college, and before majoring, then 
probably fewer than 1/1000 get a minor/AS, fewer BS, fewer MS but may or 
not start instructing/teaching, and even fewer may get PhD and be a 
professor.)  I'd estimate almost no one in the percentage of users will 
want to be running it as a software server on a hardware server for an 
organization, than just a PC application.


I know SAGE once was the most powerful FLOSS alternative, if you went 
through the hassle of installing it.  Now, there are others, but I'd 
still like to try SAGE.  They just need to realize, not just people 
doing research in private at mathematics departments, nor companies 
doing secret research & development, are going to even be most the 
users, whom most don't want to have to use password, let alone leave it 
on (system resources) or (re)start daemon just to access interface.  
Also, for people wanting to run open public math software servers, it's 
a hassle preventing most curious people wanting to try.


Seems to be why the rest of the setup is way it is also.  If someone 
else hadn't, maybe I thought of making a SAGE SlackBuild five or more 
years ago, then thought, I'm not going to bother; made Mathics one 
instead... which probably isn't as powerful, but at least user-friendly 
(unlike SAGE.)


You could try doing/documenting an alternative build that may or not be 
able to be automated.  One that can't is Oracle's Java, because they're 
being copyright trolls (can't download source code with wget, can't run 
in sbopkg.)  Maybe you could do something like chroot or similar easiest 
things (overlayfs(?)... haven't tried it,) not harder/overcomplicated 
things (virtual machines, Docker) and maybe there'd be an easy way for 
everyone to install.  Even something such as they setup/install a 
particular thing (chroot) and you run a script, but I forgot if extra 
scripts are allowed.  But, if it's chroot, I guess you can build in 
there, won't necessarily need another script.

Probably recent serious (insecurity) hardware bugs discovered in CPUs 
from last decades.


If I install intel-microcode (CPU from a year or two ago) can I still 
use Management Engine Cleaner? ( https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner .)  
Now that the truth about Intel running a secret entire other CPU with 
operating system in your CPU has come out, not sure they're going to

what a potential side effects may be.


Another topic, but as a subscriber, can't I still post (same email

I see that one of your SBo SlackBuilds is python-jango-legacy which is
being held at 1.8.17. When you add that project to your watchlist with
something like:
 pvc add -p python-jango-legacy -t github -u django/django

it will find that the latest version is actually 1.11.2 and use that
value in the watch file entry it creates. You can "manually" change the
version recorded in your watchfile with:
 pvc update -p python-jango-legacy -v 1.8.17

The problem is that every time you do a 'pvc check' or 'pvc check
python-jango-legacy', it will report that your 1.8.17 version is out of
date. I'll have to think about how to deal with that sort of thing.


I probably won't check python-django-legacy updates, as it's 
python-django renamed with old version, and I don't need to update until 
Mathics does, when it (if current enough) will use python-django, so 
I'll end or pass on python-django-legacy. As time of this post, Mathics 
hasn't had update mentioned in their 'Slack' (slack.com) room (their 
main quick communication place)... an unfortunately-named new web-chat, 
as in computing, 'Slack' was an informal 'Slackware' abbreviation...

Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Tracking version releases

2017-06-20 Thread David Melik

On 05/11/2017 10:15 PM, Christoph Willing wrote:

[...] I don't have a huge number of SlackBuilds to maintain but enough that
its easy to lose track of upstream development and know when new
versions have been released. Occasionally I do a find of .info files
containing my name in the SBo file tree and go to each of the relevant
websites looking for new releases. Sometimes a user sends me email about
an update. Some repos can send email notifications, some have RSS feeds
etc., but there doesn't seem to be a consistent mechanism for this sort
of thing. There has to be a better way, so does anyone already have a
better way to keep track before I write something to do it?

Well, before waiting for a reply to that question, I already started
writing a tool of my own to do that. It's not quite complete but close
enough - my 6 SlackBuild updates this week were all due to prompting
while developing/testing/documenting the thing.

The new tool can currently deal with projects at github, sourceforge,
pypi & libreoffice. It's been written to enable new  repo modules to be
added fairly easily. My real question is whether anyone knows of other
repositories that should be included (and preferably have some sort of
API available for access), so that modules for them can be added?

I guess you should still let me know if this has already been done
before I spend too much more time on it.

BTW its at:
 https://github.com/cwilling/pvc [...]


I need that because many projects are notorious for not announcing new 
versions; they could not care less that package maintainers spread 
projects' software. Many projects are switching from newsgroups, 
listervs, IRC, and (though not as good) classic web-forums, to social 
networks and new web-chat rooms, or mixtures of those two, that few 
people want to sign up for... or they use newsgroups and/or listservs or 
version control sites posting lots of updates *except* actual version 
numbers. It's a mess. Though the more SlackBuilds I made, the more I got 
into habit to check, occasionally if I've been busy, it was maybe half a 
year before I noticed several new version of some software that I like, 
want to make available, if I don't actually often use it.


So, I installed pvc as root, and when I run it I get this error (similar 
error as root:)


d@cosmos:~$ pvc

[Slackbuilds-users] Chromium SlackBuild?

2017-06-14 Thread David Melik
SlackBuild.org's (SBo) Chromium SlackBuild hasn't been updated 
almost a year--about 10 major versions behind, thousands of minor 
versions.  The current SBo version has critical problems for users, 
including major security risks, and many/most major sites don't load 
properly so are unusable (something like Google stopped accepting some 
certificates.)  Even alienBOB's (who deals with hundreds of packages, so 
not always updated fast) SlackBuild is much newer. That's what I'm using 
now but hoping Chromium will be updated in SBo. If someone else has to 
maintain it, I can't be the person to do so (too complicated build for me.)

[Slackbuilds-users] questions for my larn SlackBuild update, game security, SlackBuild licensing

2017-05-22 Thread David Melik
I maintain the larn (and some other) roguelike game package and 
recently submitted a new version I accidentally uploaded an old 
revision, so must redo (actually I do have a working version, but there 
are more issues now.) However, I switched from an unofficial port ( 
https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/larn-linux/ ) to the official source 
code ( https://github.com/atsb/RL_M .)
The unofficial version has a poorly-installed wrapper script (they 
don't link it to /usr/games/larn... the user just has to find and run 
larn.sh, not larn binary, though they can do that too) which I no longer 
use, so we may no longer need the larn-fixups.patch someone on SBo team 
wrote and added, or it will be different, in ways I don't know yet. The 
official code doesn't even 'make install,' and has a data directory, but 
no wrapper script linked to in /usr/games to go from there to that 
directory.
I wrote my own wrapper script (maybe not that great either) for the 
official code, but it seems the earlier, unofficial one uses some 
environment variables that may make things easier.
So, could some people more experienced with make, wrapper scripts, 
running & patching games with all these environment variables, etc., 
take a look at the unofficial and/or official, and my new version, and 
suggest what to do next for a wrapper and/or update larn-fixups.patch 
(if even needed now)? My new version is 
http://davidchmelik.com/homepage/math/slackbuilds/games/larn.tar.gz , 
which builds & runs fine for me, and if anyone at SBo is willing to any 
of that with my new update, for an official update in SBo, that's fine 
with me (just preferably let me know so I download any changes.)
I'm just not sure what to do changing from the unofficial to 
official version, both of which seem to have some advantages and 
disadvantages I'm not used to dealing with.
Also, should I set gid:uid games:games in all my game configure 
scripts (and maybe similar for graphics/academic/library software) for 
security?
Also, what do people think of that guy who submits scripts to SBo 
(meikamp?) but says that, with the addition of GPL not having to be 
included, their scripts are (optionally) under GPL? Then they're 
shorter, but I'm not sure it really works with GPL, though I'd probably 
prefer to do it this way.

Yes, except for dependencies, for which it may need a new patch. Also,
the last version of python-django I used (from source, changing
SlackBuild version number) caused errors and it seems that SlackBuild
hasn't been updated since sometime in Slackware 14.1.

Okay, I'll keep mpmath. The other is no longer necessary for Mathics.

[Slackbuilds-users] switching a SlackBuild to pip? (Python) Giving up interruptingcow, mpmath SlackBuilds

2017-02-28 Thread David Melik
'How's hacking,' slackbuilds-users,

I maintain Mathics SlackBuild, which had update problems with
libraries, and the Mathics maintainers aren't always that informative,
so I just found a last October update works. However, it uses pip,
which downloads source code I already downloaded. If I update my
SlackBuild, how should I use pip?

I'm not sure Mathics SlackBuild is even needed anymore, as anyone can
download, read source code documentation for installation that says do
'pip install mathics'... but I'll maintain this for convenience, if
you think some wouldn't go to that extent or know that's possible or
how.

I give up interruptingcow, mpmath SlackBuilds (Mathics dependencies)
since pip installs those for Mathics.

If you want to maintain one of those, email me directly or just get
permission from SlackBuilds.org administrators and probably have
someone inform me. I'm on the slackbuilds-users list but only read the
Gmane newsgroup every so often, and I'm on freenode IRC ##slackware,
#slackbulids, #freeslack sometimes.

[Slackbuilds-users] Mathics SlackBuild

2015-02-15 Thread David Melik
Recently I successfully made a SlackBuild of Mathics (a Free/Libre/Opensource 
Software version of part of Mathematica, arguably the main academic mathematics 
programming language and software system). However, it uses Python, which I do 
not know. I would like someone to take over this build and submit it to 
SlackBuilds.org (SBo). If you want to, please let me know, and download 
http://temple-of-mathematics.com/david/math/code/mathics+deps.tar.gz , which 
has my SlackBuild and notes on what I had to do, or what else might have to be 
done to make it ready to submit to SBo. My archive file may also contain the 
source, but you should get that from mathics.org. They show a zip on the first 
page, that I used, that is not perfect for making a GNU/Linux version, and they 
have a source area on github or something, that has a .tar.gz, but that also 
has the aforementioned zip inside it (duplicating almost everything)... so, the 
project needs some more work, and unfortunately, may not have a main
 tainer right now... but I thought it was a pretty important SlackBuild, 
compared to all the other math software that are not so academic standard...

[Slackbuilds-users] questions if the SlackBuilds team helped me with the Moria SlackBuild, and on the license in the template, etc.

2013-08-07 Thread David Melik
I considered how to license my SlackBuilds. I just added the license in the 
template. However, I took over the Angband game SlackBuild in the last year or 
few, but the previous was unlicensed--what do I do? Also, someone who I think 
is on the SlackBuilds team helped me with the Moria game build, so can I make 
it copyright me and that person, or--if it cannot be found who it was--the 
team? Unfortunately I have no IRC log from talking to him, and I deleted much 
of my old email from both GMail and my hard drive.

So, Robby made the diff smaller, but I forgot if he wrote the commands that use

license, do I put copyright me and Robby (and whoever else may have been

considered Free/Libre software, and so maybe for anyone to ever take it over 
easily in the future.

[Slackbuilds-users] Angband, Moria SlackBuilds

was probably not going to work on Slackware projects in the future. There have

someone else can.

I am trying to make a new Moria SlackBuild. However, I do not quite understand 
the commands in the template that installs the man page, and the Moria source 
is different. The man page is contained in 'doc' along with all other 
documentation. Is there anything that needs to be done but changing the folder 
that 'find' looks for, or would only doing so also install all the other docs 
in the system's man folders?
