What are the options? What are the dependency lists for both Alpine
and Adelie versions? Most likely it can be upstreamed, actually.
Dependency list is the same. It adds about 250K to binary size:
Alpine edge lynx-2.8.8_p2-r6 installed size:
1794048
Adélie alpha4 lynx-2.8.8_p2-r7 installed size:
2027520

+ --enable-persistent-cookies \
+ --enable-prettysrc \
+ --enable-file-upload \

=> nested-tables does exactly what it sounds like
=> persistent-cookies saves 'permanent' cookies to disk storage so users
can stay logged in
=> prettysrc allows syntax highlighting in view source mode
=> file-upload does exactly what it sounds like (INPUT TYPE=FILE)
=> idna is IDN, international domain name support
=> zlib, bzlib are for Compression: deflate and bzip2 support
=> ssl + screen are just explicit configure options that are defaults
anyway (we were having some issues with ca-certificates in alpha3 and I
added --with-ssl=/usr to try and fix them; it wasn't the issue, but I
didn't feel a need to remove it)

asciidoctor is preferred over asciidoc in Alpine these days due to
jirutka@'s advocacy. It is upstreamable.

We can move Cantarell to main.
That would be fantastic. Let me know when that is done, then that test
suite can be merged.

D-Bus is a plugin isn't it? If so we could solve this by splitting
D-Bus and Perl. NLS is fine as long as the locales are split into
$subpkg-lang.
No. Perl is (/usr/lib/purple-2/perl.so), but D-Bus is baked into the
core if you enable it.

I believe it is fine.

What are the problems with MariaDB on PowerPC? Can you start a new
thread for this?
2017-12-20
04:00:01 <@TheWilfox> mariadb does not build on powerpc
04:00:19 <@TheWilfox> "Atomic operations are not available for this
platform. MariaDB cannot be built for powerpc-foxkit-linux-musl."
04:02:33 <dimitsos> mariadb not updating on debian 8 powerpc was one
of the reasons debian 9 has not powerpc
04:03:31 <@TheWilfox> funny enough, mariadb DOES work on powerpc64, big
endian
04:03:48 <@TheWilfox> like, we build with the test suites enabled, it
passed
04:05:41 <dimitsos> is what you mentioned somewhat fixable?
04:07:38 <dimitsos> or is it an upstream thing?
04:08:03 <@TheWilfox> it's upstream
04:08:20 <dimitsos> :(
04:10:03 <dimitsos> which version are we talking about?
04:10:38 <@TheWilfox> 10.1.28
04:10:46 <@TheWilfox> 10.3 appears to have fix - real powerpc
implementation!
04:10:50 <@TheWilfox> and one for sparc and mips too.
04:11:22 <@TheWilfox>
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-11212
I raised the issue of bumping to MariaDB to 10.3 in Alpine and was
redirected to
https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/2302 which
still has no movement.

OK.
