Hi all.
Following is a list of packages that I'm concerned about for 1.0. If
there is no response here about these issues, the offending packages
will probably be *REMOVED* from the distro (each package has a proposed
action at the end), so now is the time for people to speak up.
system/at
* does not work at all
Proposed action: find a different implementation of at(1) if possible
system/busybox
* useless package
* has absolutely no rdeps
* outdated and no hope of patching it for use ourselves
* has stupid conflicts with sysvinit and other packages
* broken tools like `awk`
* useless package
Proposed action: rm -r with extreme prejudice
system/fcron
* untested
* some vague reports that it doesn't work
Proposed action: see if it works, if not, move to legacy/
system/fortify-headers
* causes build failures and ICE on valid code on x86_64 and arm64
* does not even work / function at all on ppc64 ppc32 or armv7
Proposed action: rm -r
system/gcc
* Go support is broken on ppc64 (segfault)
* Go support doesn't compile on pmmx (uapi header issue)
* Ada support is broken on arm64, possibly others
Proposed action: remove Go and Ada support from Adélie
user/adelie-kde-theme
* uses window decos that are no longer online
* relies on aurora instead of breeze
Proposed action: replace with a Breeze theme that uses our deep red
user/libkdegames
* card decks that have PNG data embedded cause KPat to crash
Proposed action: remove decks that have PNG data embedded
Additionally, I am concerned about the issues I've been noting re XFCE
4. Can anyone confirm or deny that XFCE 4 is working as intended in
beta2? I'll try to see myself over the first week of 2019.
Best,
--arw
