Successfully rebuild list, 377 packages.

Now need check that work as expected before push in wok-current.

Summary of changes due of introduce GCC 6.3.0 :
- remove loop of gettext build (attr need gettext to build that himself required attr-dev)
- remove libcroco as bdep of gettext (unmaintained)
- update receipt has need to use gcc 6.3.0, also change few receipts (back to gcc instead gcc83)

At time i put stuff packages/wok on my space :

Apply 4 patchs (2 for usbip and 2 last for linux kernel himself) :
linux-usbip-fix-format-overflow-gcc8.patch
linux-usbip-fix-implicit-fallthrough-gcc8.patch
linux-fix-format-overflow-gcc8.patch
linux-fix-noreturn-attributes-gcc8.patch

With this, i successfully building kernel but need test it on real environment to ensure sanity.
Infact i notice warnings about array-bounds / attribute-alias

Hi,

After test, i issue with build broadcom-wl, not sure if relate of gcc 8 or linux build.
Prefer ensure sanity of kernel build and rollback toolchain with gcc 6.3.0.

I think bump gcc to 8.3.0 implies bump to 4.x kernel branch.

Begin rebuild all base packages, and after go for xorg stuff.

Hi devl547 :)

I just finish to build xorg stack, not all packages but base with synaptics, vesa / fbdev.
Need also check for prepare iso with "current" repo, to test easy.

Road is long, doing step by step, upgrade cooking imply it (toolchain, kernel, xorg, openssl).
Each step can broken part, i hope that doing base > justx > gtk ensure sanity and not silent break.

See with gcc 6, base ok but xorg break (need patch for work).

At time for test i'm using rolling iso, and put current mirror to upgrade (test in base, justx flavor).
Just keep warn about tazpkg need upgrade first to upgrade in right way glibc/gcc-lib-base

Hi,

Build base iso, and build few packages missing in base/packages.list (cdrkit, cmake, efibootmgr, efivar ...)

Now i begin build stuff for justx flavor, most part already build with xorg stack.
With default gcc 6.3, i adjust few receipts, for cmake, icu, efivar, efibootmgr, harfbuzz.

Need to rebuild cairo / freetype / fontconfig / harfbuzz to avoid issue with previous gcc83 build.
build freetype/fontconfig without harfbuzz deps, build harfbuzz (gcc 6.3), rebuild freetype/fontconfig, and last cairo/harfbuzz again to ensure runtime/buildeps use uptodate version

Hi,

I push base iso i build two days ago,
https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/slitaz-current-stuff/slitaz-current-20230829.iso

Continue to build packages for justx iso.
For locale-*, need build slitaz-i18n, himself required most bdeps (asunder, midori, lxpanel, pcmanfm ...)

For slitaz-i18n, remain this deps :
epdfview
gvfs
libwebkit
lxpanel
midori
pcmanfm
udisks2
tzdata

epdfview need huge package, Qt4-dev ;)
