[opensuse-factory] Why list libstatgrab so OLD on Leap 42.2 and will it be updated for 42.3?
All, Leap 42.2 is packaged with libstatgrab6. This is way old and isn't sufficient for the build requirements of the good tools like bwm-ng cli bandwidth monitor (which requires libstatgrab >= 0.9) libstatgrab10 is current. Does anyone know whether this will be updated? I've been building my own copy of libstatgrab to meet the dependency for bwn-ng (which ought to be packaged as part of OSS), e.g. $ l1 rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ bwm-ng-0.6.1-3.1.x86_64.rpm libstatgrab-devel-0.91-17.11.x86_64.rpm libstatgrab10-0.91-17.11.x86_64.rpm from: $ l1 suse/132/srpm/ bwm-ng-0.6.1-3.1.src.rpm libstatgrab-0.91-17.11.src.rpm webpin does not report any other bwm-ng packages available. It would be nice to have at least a current version of libstatgrab. -- David C.

...libstatgrab 0.10 and bwm-ng 0.6.1 are in network:utilities and in factory...

Whoop! Thank you. Now if we can just get gcc >= 4.9, we can even use the _Generic selector along with _Atomic and stdatomic.h :) (I know, it's jumping from 4.8 to 6-4.1 and glibc 2.25 [at least that is where factory is] -- that's a big move -- and a lot of work -- kudos to the devs working that one :) -- David C.

42.2 offers gcc6, so I don't see the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Oh!, My bad, Jan. I'm sorry. The _Generic and _Atomic comments were not related to the libstatgrab build (it currently builds fine on anything 13.1 forward). The _Generic and _Atomic comments were simply a general desire to have the selector macro and the atomic type available for use and testing.

you can just install the newer gcc6 package in addition to the standard one without worry of breaking anything using zypper in gcc6 or add to .spec file BuildRequires: gcc6 and then in the project you want to use it in, you do export CC=gcc-6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks Bernhard, Yamaban That what I wanted to confirm. I do recall having multiple versions on one install a couple of years ago (I think it was 11.4), but I didn't know if there was any reason not to do so on Leap. I guess if it installs as gcc6 (meaning /usr/bin/gcc6), then there isn't a problem. -- David C.

Eh? In the spec-file (pseudo-code, please correct speccing, etc) [pseudo-code] # pull in gcc6 Build-Requires: gcc6 # use it!

Does anyone know whether this will be updated? I've been building my own copy of libstatgrab to meet the dependency for bwn-ng (which ought to be packaged as part of OSS), e.g.
$ osc whatdependson openSUSE:Leap:42.3 libstatgrab standard x86_64 libstatgrab : collectd lxqt-panel If both work with the new version, libstatgrab could be updated I suppose. Someone has to actively submit libstatgrab and the maintainer has to ack it though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
