  • evince - smclient - I believe this is aged code so looking for a patch
  • gtkdialog - Can't locate Locale/Messages.pm in @inc - perl error, tahr bug
  • inkscapelite - fatal error: freetype/ftoutln.h - maybe weird paths in tahr, or missing header
  • *mm - thinking to not bother, if gtk+2 native versions are available - however they won't be static. IIRC, @pemasu had them in raring
  • gparted - see above
  • edit - osmo and sfontview now fixed

There were 10 others that were all relatively easy fixes (not committed yet). An interesting one was gnumeric. Ubuntu doesn't package pcretest at all, well maybe in some weird PPA, so I had to patch configure on the fly. Another thing with gnumeric is that the docs don't install, need dockbook-xml and rarian/scrollkeeper. I don't care, we don't use yelp anyway. So make install bugs out but everything relevant to run gnumeric is installed so we ignore the error and proceed to package.

Just FYI; I'll be taking a break for 2 weeks and check in occasionally to merge pull requests or check on updates.

I am thinking to allow a 'distro specific' ORDER file so that failures can be omitted. Also, different ./configure options could be specified.

Any thoughts ❓

Tahr isn't reproducible anyway. AFAIK, you can't rebuild 6.0.2 using vanilla Woof. I think some manual tweaks were applied (e.g the wallpaper).

Fixing Tahr-specific problems without having all its configuration files in woof-CE is a bad way to go.

Yes, tahr has a lot of manual and uncommitted changes...

Yes, that is true, but I did the same with Barry's woof but that was a 'private' repo.

At least Phil is having a a go.. something which I haven't had time for lately. Perhaps some subtle coercion would help.

Dumb idea. I think I'll just create branches and 'master' will just be a 'readme' kind of like how Junjiro does it with aufs.
