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.
For xarchiver we're already using GTK+-3, and we're getting rid of
GTK+-2 soon (GIMP3 has hit it's final developer release). This is one
less reference to worry about cleaning up later.
I've tested this and it seems to work as expected.
This should protect TigerVNC Server against all of the CVEs fixed in
xorg-server since xorg-server-21.1.6 was released.
Like rustc. Move the unset command out of the <screen> for
installation because if we use sudo --preserve-env=PATH_PY311 -s for a
shell as root to install the package, "unset PATH_PY311" will only
unset it in this shell, not the shell building the package.
Also fix a grammar issue in rustc, and unset LIBSSH2_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG
after installing rustc too.
To do this I've created build_fixes-2.patch. This contains:
- Fix for shipped ffmpeg build failure
- Fixes for Python 3.11 changes
- Changes for ICU-74, but modified to allow building on previous
versions of BLFS and their versions of ICU
- The NINJAJOBS change
- Chunks from a patch from ArchLinux32 to prevent instantaneous crashes
in Falkon. Still causes issues with text rendering, so I've created a
note in the Falkon page. However, video playback and images display
perfectly. I will revisit this in February once we have the new glibc.
Unlike previous issues, it no longer crashes, so that's a good start!
This significantly brings down the count of instructions for this page
and should make it a lot easier to follow.
I've tested this on both x86_64 and i686. On i686 there's a major
improvement in that Falkon (and KDE System Monitor) actually start and
run, though in the case of Falkon there is still no text.
Presently, we do "ln -s libreoffice-<version> /opt/libreoffice"
but we use $LO_PREFIX everywhere else. So if $LO_PREFIX is not
equal to libreoffice-<version>, the symlink is broken. Use
"ln -s $LO_PREFIX /opt/libreoffice instead".
The mach of seamonkey is more nasty than FF or TB :(.
Q: Why not just export PATH=/opt/python3.11/bin:$PATH?
A: This will be too easy forgetting to unset it. And an explicit
PATH=$PATH_PY311 also helps sudo (sudo PATH=$PATH_PY311 mach install
will work perfectly fine, but export PATH=$PATH_PY311; sudo ... won't
work as sudo will reset $PATH).
