Hi All,
I did some updates for Redsleeve 7.2. I think I now only miss firefox
and java-1.6.0.
Somehow my build machine keeps crashing while building FF. not sure
what
is going on. (I don't think it is the OOM killer this time)
Is it on the rsync pull? Is the FF src.rpm there? If so, I'll try to
find
time one evening this week to try building the FF src.rpm.
@Gordan, when would you have a little time to package it all into a
proper release?
As in put together a new redsleeve-release package and sign the
packages? I'll see what I can do. Might just have to find time to
prune duplicates as well as older versions. Unfortunately, the
next point you raise is going to make that a little difficult...
We do still have the unexplained gnome crash issue though. Gordan
mentioned that he thinks the issue is with 'gsettings-desktop-schemas'.
I noticed however that the crash is normally within gnome-shell.
The workaround is, for now, either don't update the gnome stuff, or
stay
away from gnome (lightdm + kde or mate)
This is indeed a major problem. As far as I can tell, just installing
gsettings-desktop-schemas breaks gdm and stops it from starting up.
Having said that, I've noticed weirdness in GDM on CentOS x86-64 with
recent updates as well (e.g. when you click on one of the auxiliary
buttons on the GDM login screen they only work on the first click). So
I think there is something definitiely broken here, it just for some
reason doesn't break _quite_ as badly on x86-64.
It might be worth creating a dummy gsettings-desktop-schemas with
the old, working content payload, but the version bumped up to
satisfy other dependencies. See if it makes everything work.
the other issue is the fbdev drive Gordan noticed.
That can at least be worked around by using the modesetting Xorg
driver, which is no slower than plain fbdev.
