Today's fun was seeing if ssh 8.1 worked.. It does not. It can not load the KEYS, it appears to be an issue with openssl 1.1

I also commented out

#UsePAM no
#GSSAPIAuthentication yes
#GSSAPICleanupCredentials no

Because it was not compiled with support.

Did this commit fix openssh key reading?

a28ba4e

And what do I need to do to test it?

-Mike
It did, yes. If you know your way around a DEV environment + rpmbuild, build it yourself (but pay attention to the deps etc).

Otherwise be patient and wait for 0.0.6, we're looking into getting a new base release out soon, which will have that in.

I've doing a fair amount if AIX admin over the last year. I really like the ease of the AIX Linux Tool Box, I think the yum.sh script should be yanked and modified for SGUG delivery.

yum.sh

Bonus points for registering the base environment via the Irix installer.

RE: key reading - Great it worked for you, thanks for the additional data point, that's always handy :)

Indeed, we have some of our top men (and women) working on what we can do to make the initial delivery easier and more natural. We'd like the end game to be less "untar" and more "here's a native package".

Still work to do, and more contributors are _always_ welcomed!

Sgug RSE - Pre-release 0.0.6:

A prerelease platform on which to test + check packages. A full rebuild of everything listed in the releasepackages.lst list.

This is for RSE contributors/maintainers, not for end use / general distribution.
  1. You must install from fresh, no upgrades
  2. This (prerelease0.0.6) is a throwaway release - for hygiene reasons all (s)rpms built have the sgugprerelease0.0.6 moniker -> if we see end users with these packages - they are using the wrong packages!
So for a package not currently listed in releasepackages.lst that you want to "go" in 0.0.6 - check:
  1. All the deps are already there (in 0.0.6) - if not, they need adding following the same process
  2. The package builds satisfying the usual constraints (avoid force, nodeps etc)
  3. The package has a testsuite or can be run and used successfully (the odd bug isn't a show stopper)
If the package meets the above criteria as-is - simply add it to the releasepackages.lst in wipnonautomated, and create a pull request targeting the 0.0.6 branch -> get someone to double check

If the package needs fixes, submit the changes as usual to wipnonautomated and verify it works there first before adding it to the list.

Note: full install size =~ 2.1GiB

Bug reports / issues all welcomed via Github so they may be properly tracked.

First bloody goes to Unxy :)

0.0.6pre: shared-mime-info mime cache not built on initial install

This exhibits itself by being unable to rebuild gdk-pixbuf2 or by loading PNG images _with_ gdk-pixbuf2.


For now, can be worked around by reinstalling the `shared-mime-info` rpm file (`rpm --reinstall -ivh /path/to/RPM/mips/shared-mime-info-XXXX.rpm`).

Not sure what a long term fix might be (maybe just take a tarball of the mime stuff from fc31 and dump it as-is, rather than trying to use triggers?)

And here is the list of "stuff in wipnonautomated but not listed in the release packages list yet":


Have a look and see what you feel are useful contributions to the release.

Process - for a package not currently listed in releasepackages.lst that you want to "go" in 0.0.6 - check:
  1. All the deps are already there (in 0.0.6) - if not, they need adding following the same process
  2. The package builds satisfying the usual constraints (avoid force, nodeps etc)
  3. The package has a testsuite or can be run and used successfully (the odd bug isn't a show stopper)
If the package meets the above criteria as-is - simply add it to the releasepackages.lst in wipnonautomated, and create a pull request targeting the 0.0.6 branch -> get someone to double check

If the package needs fixes, submit the changes as usual to wipnonautomated and verify it works there first before adding it to the list.

hey guys, can we get Inkscape into the sgug-rse ?

a buddy of mine was looking for a good vector art program, and looks like it could be a nice addition to play with..
Just matching up dependencies: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tracking_Dependencies

Looks like there will be dependency work (and dependencies of dependencies not shown, and so on), but it's possible someone will take it up. Maybe @HAL would be interested?

The sgug-rse team are happy to announce the release of RSE 0.0.7beta "Miss Moneypenny".

Miss Moneypenny brings us 442 commits, with 154 new packages added. The full list may be found in the change log.
There were 7 committers (Hammy, HAL, Unxy, Mach, J16bit, Massive, bplaa.yai) who have brought us a total of 1124 binary RPMs to install (up from 823).
Some honourable mentions:
  • tdnf and microdnf enable local repo selective installations
  • barrier - the currently maintained mouse and keyboard sharing successor to "synergy"
  • vala - IRIX gets a new programming language with integrated GTK bindings
  • An RSE entry in the IRIX catalogue for packages that provide launchers
  • GTK3 and dbus make an appearance!
Now, off you go and install, and do be careful, James.

Great work all, what an achievement! :)

I've just fetched the new tarballs down for a sneaker-net pickup on Monday! I'll give it a try on a variety of machines, including an Indy.
