Comment on OpenJDK 7 Update 40 (yes, 40) courtesy of IcedTea 2.4.0 by Andrew Hughes

It always makes me happy to see people picking up on our work and packaging it It’s also nice for me to be able to get out something more interesting than a security update. Sadly, there’s another one on the horizon; expect 2.1.9, 2.2.9, 2.3.10 and 2.4.1 over the next few days.

Eric, yes I’m using your KDE 4.10.4. I’ll recompile calibre and try to make it work. Gracias

Hi César

I thik you are not running Slackware 14. It seems that you added some newer software on top which replaced original Slackware packages. Are you running my KDE 4.10 for Slackware 14? Part of that is an upgrade to the Slackware ‘sip’ package which is incompatible with calibre’s Slackware 14 package.

You have to recompile calibre to fix the sip error.

Comment on Quanta Plus for KDE4 by alienbob

Hi Silver Moon

I added Quanta Plus a while back, but since then the developers have stripped the quanta source code from all its components and have added the functionality to kdevelop instead. Quanta’s source repository is nothing more than an empty skeleton at the moment so it will not come back into Slackware.
From the Slackware-current ChangeLog.txt:
“”"
+————————–+
Tue May 14 06:33:30 UTC 2013
kde/quanta-29a3f8e_20111223git-x86_64-2.txz: Removed.
I think this is finally dead since it no longer compiles against the new version of kdevplatform.

Hi Erik, just installed calibre in slack 14.0 x86_64 multilib with all dependencies get this error.

$ calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):

pi_error)
RuntimeError: Failed to load the Progress Indicator plugin: the sip module implements API v9.0 to v9.1 but the progress_indicator module requires API v8.1

Do I need to recompile in 14.0 or is something missing?

Thanx

[...] Have you considered installing Alien BOB's OpenJDK package, along with the icetea-web plug-in? http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/open…icedtea-2-4-0/ [...]

Silviu, the two repositories are always in sync, unless I screw up and forget to update the “shadow repository” – that needs a separate script to be executed.

“writing almost 30 new slack-desc files and updating the module definitions …”
You have been punished for writing
“Packaging a new KDE Software Compilation is verging on boring”.

Thanks as always for your work

One question, I suppose those links are automatically generated? i.e. will an update show there just as quick as in the classic repo?
