[Mageia-dev] Last few packages with old udev dep... aka drop chromium-browser-unstable?

Wed Jul 11 10:02:48 CEST 2012

Hi Guys,
+
+There are a couple packages left still needing the old udev library and
+I'd like to get them sorted now.
+
+[colin at jimmy ~]$ urpmq --whatrequires lib64udev0 libudev0
+chromium-browser-unstable
+chromium-browser-unstable
+enna
+enna
+lib64udev0
+lib64zypp901
+libmyth0.24
+libudev0
+libzypp901
+
+
+All the libs can be ignored as they are all no longer needed, so it's
+just enna and chromium-browser-unstable.
+
+For enna, it needs fixes for (I think) new GCC or newer libvalhalla, so
+it would be great if someone could look at that. I'm not familiar with
+the project, but I did find some references that it's more or less
+deprecated now (Geebox seems to have switched to xbmc as it's primary
+frontend:
+https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/geexbox-devel/VC3WFx2h9ws)
+
+For chromium-browser-unstable I propose we just drop it. We can keep the
+-stable chromium named as it is just now although I would personally
+prefer to see it just called "chromium-browser" (as no other package has
+this strange naming policy and arguably many of them could if we shipped
+two versions). I don't see a problem re-introducing an -unstable variant
+again in the future, but unless someone is actively maintaining it it's
+arguably just getting in the way.
+
+Thoughts?
+
+(CC'ed TV as he has been the most frequent committed to -unstable of late)
