Hey everyone,
I guess all of you have read the announcement of the upcoming CRUX 1.3 release. I was just wondering whether we could organize the update of CLC ports a bit; I was mainly thinking about installing either a pre-release (if there's any; Per? *g*) or 1.3 release version on some PC and trying to build all ports which have the CONTRIB-1_2 tag. Using the resulting list, we could very quickly set the new tags for ports which build fine, making the number of ports to test remarkable smaller. Even if some ports don't build because of missing dependencies or similar, the work required to get all ports tagged CONTRIB-1_3 would hopefully much very shorter. Of course, this would require an available host to test build those packages, but that's an implementation issue not to be considered for now :-) Comments welcome.
Hi Johannes, (sorry, I also replied to your private address) As I wrote some time ago I'm dedicating a machine to the automatic clc port building process. I'm currently tuning up the build and report script(s). My intention was to begin with the project from CRUX 1.3 onwards- Since the machine in question is available at the moment, I volunteer for the test builds (with a pre-release or as soon as 1.3 goes gold). One problem (which I'm also experiencing with the automated building process): opt ports don't have dependencies, causing prt-get depinst fail with ports requiring some port from /opt. Should we assume all opt ports are installed for this test? Bye Simone
