| Series | [bug#68828] gnu: libxft: Update to 2.3.8 | expand |
Of note, this is to fix a problem with emojis crashing lukesmithxyz-st (and perhaps proper st as well, but I haven't checked). The current version of libxft has a known problem with causing these crashes, see this FAQ for documentation: https://git.suckless.org/st/file/FAQ.html#l224
Adding more maintainers to this issue since I didn't before
Hi, this patch cannot be applied because it misses the update of the hash. As the upgrade would require thousands of rebuilds, this change should be applied on a separate branch.
>misses the update of the hash. Oops! Sorry about that. I'm trying to update that now on my end, and im getting a lot of errors relating to finding a mirror. Can you confirm this is happening on your end as well? error exmaples: download failed "http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/x.org/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2" 404 "Not Found" Starting download of /gnu/store/lcqg1f8z9y86amrpim5j5gci7s94ldd4-libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2 From http://xorg.mirrors.pair.com/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2... In procedure connect*: Connection timed out I do know that libxft tarballs live here as well: https://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz I don't know if you would be opinionated on changing the source link if you can reproduce the problem i'm having. >this should be applied on a separate branch. I'm new to email-based patches, would I just make a new branch in my local repo and then make a patch targeting it? Or is there something else I may need to do.

Indeed, the extension .bz2 does not exist on mirror servers. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Starting download of /gnu/store/sbrx9br6h2n98z1xgg6ww11jr8fdln6q-libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2 From http://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2... following redirection to `https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2'... download failed "https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.bz2" 404 "Not Found" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But the extension .gz is there: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Starting download of /gnu/store/kqkqfp80cz3ldh40r4zbn67rhlgxrg4m-libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz From http://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz... following redirection to `https://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz'... downloading from http://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz ... libXft-2.3.8.tar.gz 446KiB 103KiB/s 00:04 ▕██████████████████▏ 100.0% --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The correct patch is thus: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) gnu/packages/xorg.scm | 6 +++--- modified gnu/packages/xorg.scm @@ -1341,17 +1341,17 @@ (define-public libxdmcp (define-public libxft (package (name "libxft") - (version "2.3.4") + (version "2.3.8") (source (origin (method url-fetch) (uri (string-append "mirror://xorg/individual/lib/libXft-" version - ".tar.bz2")) + ".tar.gz")) (sha256 (base32 - "1pdbr6gzfvixc791pjf42i9gg8wvfq6cpq6sdca04h4i42mxmpjp")))) + "1a3qybcvhdshgj1wynhsahdnrlmfv2wrjklyh1j2whj4v3i8zr1j")))) (build-system gnu-build-system) (arguments '(#:configure-flags '("--disable-static"))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Do you want to send an updated (v2) patch?
