qt6-webengine, qt6-base, and cups interdependency issue
by Daryl F 18 Nov '24

Hi all, I use a docker snapshot environment to create accurate footprints for the ports in the df repo. Ports are built in isolation to ensure there is no parasitic interaction in dependencies. This has worked well for several years. It catches missing dependencies and generates footprints that may end up reporting NEW items but never MISSING items. This methodology is broken by this test in the qt6-webengine Pkgfile: if [[ ! -e /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/printsupport/libcupsprintersupport.so ]]; then printf '\e[31m%s\e[m\n' " opt/qt6-base is not build with opt/cups support, and opt/qt6-webeninge depends on it! Please make sure opt/cups is installed, then rebuild opt/qt6-base. After that, you can attempt to build opt/qt6-webengine again. " exit 1 fi Because qt6-base is never built when cups is installed since it is not a dependency listed in qt6-base the build of qt6-webengine always fails. This is not a problem in my desktop environment. I use cups so it is already installed when I build qt6-base. This kind of hidden requirement in qt6-webengine breaks my quality control methods. For now all I can do is maintain my own port of qt6-base with cups listed in the dependencies. However, I suggest that this kind of test in qt6-webengine violates the tried-and-true intent of the dependency list in a Pkgfile in subtle ways and precludes some automation tools. I understand that not everyone that wants qt6-base wants cups but almost everthing that uses qt6-webengine does else the Print function in apps like qutebrowser can print but can only save to disk. I don't think including cups in qt6-base is much of a hit. Anyone using qt6-*anything* is already taking a huge hit in resources. Just because cups is installed with qt6-base no one has to start the cups daemon unless they specifically choose to in the their rc.conf. Again, thanks to the dev team for their hard work providing the best distro around.o Any suggestions? Comments? -Daryl

CruxEX 3.7 Build 240910
by C A Exton 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

*A new updated version of CruxEX 3.7 (CRUX 3.7) with LXDE, Refracta Snapshot, Refracta Installer and kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton :: Build 240910* *CruxEX 2024/2022 64 bit LINUX LIVE CD/USB* is based on *CRUX 3.7* (latest version, released 220926), which is all Linux enthusiasts/nerds favorite OS. ("CRUX is a lightweight Linux distribution for the x86_64 architecture targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is keep it simple, which is reflected in a straightforward tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications"). CruxEX 3.7 2024/2022 uses the LXDE Desktop environment. I have replaced the original CRUX kernel 5.15 with “my” special kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton/6.6.1-amd64-exton respectively 6.0.6-aufs-exton, with support for “extra everything”. *NEWS ABOUT CruxEX BUILD 240910* I’ve made a new extra version of CruxEX which I call CruxEX Linux Live System. It replaces version 231208. All included packages have been updated to the latest available version as of 240910. This CruxEX version is distributed as a “normal” ISO file. (Build 221031 is distributed as a Zip file only to be installed on a USB stick). I have kept CruxEX Build 221031 on SourceForge’s server because that version can run from a USB stick with PERSISTENCE. I.e. all system changes will be saved directly on the USB stick. In CruxEX Build 240910 I have managed to install Refracta Snapshot and Refracta Installer. With Refracta Snapshot you can very easy create you own CRUX Live Installable System. I mean change everything to your liking and then create a new ISO. That can be done after a hard drive installation using Refracta Installer. If you have plenty of RAM you can even create a new ISO while running CruxEX live! *IMPORTANT NOTE*: Kernel 6.11.0-rc5-amd64-exton will be used after a hard drive installation of CruxEX Build 240910. If you want to build your own CruxEX version/system you’ll have to use kernel 6.6.1-amd64-exton while running Refracta Snapshot. *UNIQUE* CruxEX 3.7 2024/2022 Build 240910/221031 is – as my previous CRUX-remasters – unique in the world. I.e. there is no other CRUX Live CD/USB (as far as I know). In any case, not for downloading. The good thing with CruxEX is that it is a live system (which CRUX original isn’t) and that you can run CruxEX super fast from RAM. Also that you can install CruxEX to hard drive in about 5 minutes and then have a ready-to-go CRUX desktop system. You can after that install any (extra) desktop environment you like. NOTE: You can (of course) install new Desktops environments and other stuff also when running CruxEX from a USB stick – PERSISTENCE! (Only as regards Build 221031). Note also: To make CRUX original ready for everyday use will normally take 2 – 3 days! *RUNS FROM RAM* Run both versions super fast from RAM! The best way to run a Linux Live System! *SCREENSHOTS* 1.
