   The starting reason for the rebuilding was that I experienced (in py3k in this case), that libffi.so.7 was requested by a package but libffi.so.8 was installed.
   I then built a script that successively sorts the packages by dependencies, so that the dependencies should all be built before they are needed (which fails in the long run due to some circle dependencies, but will work for the first couple of thousand packages).

   When I realized, that the problem might also arise from packages that are already contained in the wok, I decided to strip the Wok down and rebuild it.

   Therefore, I
   - stripped down the rootfs to a bare minimum of packages to still function as a rootfs
   - identified the necessary packages by re-installing the toolchain into a test-rootfs
   - sorted the necessary packages by inter-dependencies
   - recompiled the most recent versions of the packages
   - set up the new Wok with the recompiled packages.

   If I did everything right (and my script works - I will publish that soon), then successively cooking all the packages should lead to a coherent system.

   Hi Filou,

   Happy new year :).

   At begin, congrat for your stuff.

   You are right to rebuild wok in this steps.
   It's important infact to build package in sanity env to avoid wrong linking library.
   That's why cook use aufs and chroot method (install basic rootfs + dev tools), and use aufs to build packages (install depends up on rootfs with overlay and clean after build).

   I need take the time to try your rootfs and toolchain, also cookutils to have cooker env (similar to https://cook.slitaz.org/next64/).

   Hi shann,

   thank you, happy new year to you, too! :-)

   The cooker env for next64 is impressive and would indeed be a huge step forward again.
   I'd be very happy if I could contribute with a working cli version behind it.

   Just be aware, that I had to make slight adjustments in the cooker scripts that should be easy to highlight. I could do that during the weekend by providing the diffs, if that helps.
   In addition, tazpkg downloads and installs packages just fine, but fails for tazpkg up because it still makes a comparison between [package]-[Version].tazpkg and [package]-x86_64-[Version].tazpkg, which will still have to be resolved...

   Looking forward to our cooperation!

   Can you execute the script in the chroot environment itself? Or does that damage anything?

   The script can be executed inside the chroot.
   It just produces a .txt file in /tmp containing the sorted list...

   Grateful.

   Feliz ano novo para todos.

   Olá Filou.

   Por acaso já é o momento que eu posso ajudar a testar a ISO de 64bits do SliTaz?

   Grato.

   Hi marcelocripe,

    Hi everyone.
    Really sorry, I had some health issues to deal with, a lot of work at the office and my family wanted some more attention especially during the summer months.

    I will take up business again soon, refocusing on the SliTaz 4.0 Scripts since 5.0 has become quite crypted...

    Please have some patience with me....

    Hi Filou & Jianliulin,

    When I use 210713_MySliTaz64.iso from https://people.slitaz.org/~filou/rootfs, I am able to boot into a GUI. However, when I try replacing the rootfs in this iso with the 211002_rootfs64_office.gz, I am unable to boot into GUI and it drops me on the login prompt on the same laptop.

    I tried with a different device having a different graphics driver but the behavious is the same.

    What should be done for getting a GUI using 211002_rootfs64_office.gz ? Is any boot parameter to be added ?

    P.S.- I wanted to try 211002_rootfs64_office.gz as it was mentioned in a post that web browser is available in this. The 210713_MySliTaz64.iso does not have any web browser. When I tried dowmloading browser tazpkg from slitaz mirrors, i am unable to do so with a mirror synchronization error being reported. Also, since USB is not being recognized, local installation of tazpkg is not happening.

    Can you pl suggest ?

    Hi everyone and a happy new year to all of you.

    It's been quite some time since I posted here something substantial but now I want to do so.
    (I'll try to answer to slitaz_user4 in a minute, but first some more basic announcement...)

    During the last weeks I was heavily involved in doing a new "mass sweep" after having set up a new wok on a LFS 11.2 basis.
    Since during my first tries I quite soon made a mistake in accepting a glibc error concerning iconv and introducing libiconv in many packages, I had to learn at a later stage that this was a dead end. The same was applicable to pthread.

    So I tried to do better in this run.

    What did I do?
    1.) Follow the LFS 11.2 documentation until I got to a chroot-able system with all necessary tools (gcc, binutils, ...)
    2.) I then collected the slitaz scripts from the different .tazpkg as far as I could to "SliTaz-ize" the Chroot-System and modified them where necessary (worked quite well from the first try already).
    3.) I cloned the wok and started to build again.
    4.) I wrote a small script that re-ordered all the receipts by dependencies in order to do another "mass sweep".
    5.) At some point I got a little impatient and wanted to see some results. So I picked a side-path before coming back to the mass-sweep
    6.) During the side-path I concentrated on Wayland to get a better understanding and to support SliTaz' way into a sustainable future. I achived stable but feature-poor versions of Sway and Wayfire (both really impressed me, Sway for simplicity and Wayfire for its effects) still with some fixes to do (wf-panel doesn't work yet...).
    7.) I then wanted to ave somethin presentable and concentrated on XFCE4 and LXDE. For sustainability reasons I tried to keep to GTK+3 and Python3 as far as possible.

    At this moment, I am writing these lines under XFCE4 Ver. 4.18.0, havin AbiWord 3.0.5 and Gnumeric 1.12.53 open as well as mtPaint 3.50.09 on three monitors, Thunar presenting the directory trees (but no working gvfs yet), l3afpad for file editing and Evince for PDFs.

    LXDE ist not working yet, but I am working on it...

    Up to now, I have more than 2.500 packages compiled and will have to move on the next weeks.

    I am preparing the uploads of everything (see https://people.slitaz.org/~filou/cooking64_new for the new packages) and will link the directories and files here soon...
