There are still a few packages that need testing and the book updated.
The kf6 adn plasma packages referenced in LXQt are incorrect and need
to be changed to reference kf5 packages for now.
Note that there is a new package, plasma-activities, that is needed in
the kde-gear section, but needed to be taken from the plasma6 set of
packages.
kio-extras is no longer needed for the packages in the book.
Some notes:
- proftpd has been supporting PCRE2 since 1.3.8a.
- bluefish actually invokes PCRE via Glib, so since Glib was ported
from PCRE1 to PCRE2 bluefish has been using PCRE2 in fact.
- zsh and rasqal will support PCRE2 in the next release. For zsh pcre
is not used with book instruction anyway, and for rasqal the
maintainer suggests just relying on Glibc regex.h before the next
release.
- The other distros (Fedora for eg) are already disabling PCRE for
slang.
Well, we generally do not like an update of "a part of the package",
esp. in this case we are doing an unversioned update. This makes the
book unstable, i.e. if a user executes this command a month after the
release of the book (s)he may get different results. And I don't think
it's a good idea to make vim &build-use-internet;.
And when we update vim to a new version (from 9.0.2103 to 9.0.2189 for
example), "make install" would already update the runtime files to
9.0.2189.
So just make the runtime update command nodump and move rsync to
optional.
Update to plasma-wayland-protocols-1.12.0.
Update to plasma5-5.27.10.
Update to kde gear-23.08.4 including kate, kwave, and falkon.
Update to kf5-5.113.0.
it is in instructions that are not guarded by role="nodump"...
Note that now that vim gets several updates a day, I am not sure
we use the right way to update runtime files!
neither firefox nor epiphany can download them, and they are not
well maintained, because rarely tested.
This is WIP because the "(HTTP)" part of "Download (HTTP)" will
need to be removed too.
But let's see what users think first...
