confirmed.

Excellent! Thanks for doing a sanity check; it's been moved to 'current'.

new in beta:

neko_x264-0.50.564.tardist - H264/avc encoder

Wow, that sounds great - definitely will give it a try. Any chance for even a rough build of mplayer for x264 playback in the near future? That's the only missing piece

This one is built with the /opt/mplayer prefix so it will pick up the osd fonts and mplayer.conf of the old package if you have it installed. Just make sure to move the old codecs.conf out of the way.

Nice, thanks! It's very solid on the DIVX encoded content I've thrown at it so far in both avi and mkv containers (mkv has always been troublesome in the past); no crashes at all with this build. Doesn't like my h264 content much (lots of frame decoding errors) but still a very nice update.

Aha - yep, that was the problem; was just expecting it to be a bit more verbose

Looks like I need to find a 700 or 800MHz CPU for my Fuel. Thanks for the hints!

You need to rename the image file so it matches your login name, i.e. mv mad_127_100.rgb fu

So it should look like: /usr/local/lib/faces/fu (with fu being the image file itself, not a subdirectory)

Here's an example from my Fuel (I use /usr/lib/faces instead of /usr/local/lib/faces but either location works):

Will probably look better than my digital camera snapshot - capturing the login screen is (normally) tough (though it sounds like X11 forwarding may be one way to do it)

Well I've been trying to get a Firefox-2.0 built for Nekoware but have hit a snag I can't seem to find a solution for. I'm able to build the entire thing, but the very last link phase on the binary throws a spurious '-L' flag into the mix:

It's possible to manually link the above by correcting the '-L-L../../dist/bin' bit on the command line. Unfortunately this doesn't provide a solution since it'll just try to do it again once 'gmake -f client.mk build' is executed afterward.

The 'mozilla' build system is convoluted and about the only thing I can determine is that the bad link is part of the $(EXTRA_LIBS) variable in the link phase (line 809 of mozilla/rules.mk). $(EXTRA_LIBS) seems to get all sorts of things heaped into it from all over the place so I'm not able to isolate just where that one little bit is coming from.

As a point of reference, Firefox-1.5 series did not have this problem - the same bit is there but without the extra '-L':

I can't locate any differences that would account for it in the configuration files though.

This has been a problem throughout the Firefox-2.0 prerelease series, but now that it's 'gold' I'd like to see this running on IRIX. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the build system over this hump we should be home free ...

I also filed a Bugzilla bug on this (#357780) to see if I can get some feedback on that end.

Okay, I found a nasty hack. Seems that the corrupt portion is part of NSS_LIBS which is embedded into STATIC_EXTRA_LIBS in config/static-config.mk. I just copied the whole '-L../../dist/bin -L../../dist/lib -lcrmf -lsmime3 -lssl3 -lnss3 -lsoftokn3' line and added it to STATIC_EXTRA_LIBS manually in the same file (killed the variable). We'll see how that goes

Okay - builds now, but just cores on startup.

Looks like foetz opened a bug; no further comments on it for a while though:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351261

I tried reverting https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347645 as mentioned but still get the crash in the same place.

Looks like Firefox-2.0 is DOA on IRIX unless someone with more skills than I can work this out.

It's an issue with rqs on your system. You should be able to fix it by following the instructions davea posted here:

I ran into this problem before, fixed it by downloading and installing the glib from beta. Guess there is more than one way to fix it

Sometimes that works (pretty much by chance) if rqs happens to remap the DSO to a better location when installing the new version, but it's not a 100% solution. davea's method will fix it though

OpenSSH 4.5 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed
code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots and purchased
T-shirts or posters.

T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project. Pictures
and more information can be found at:
http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html and

For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order
and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu

Changes since OpenSSH 4.4:
============================

This is a bugfix only release. No new features have been added.

Security bugs resolved in this release:

* Fix a bug in the sshd privilege separation monitor that weakened its
verification of successful authentication. This bug is not known to
be exploitable in the absence of additional vulnerabilities.

This release includes the following non-security fixes:

* Several compilation fixes for portable OpenSSH

* Fixes to Solaris SMF/process contract support (bugzilla #1255)

Thanks to everyone who has contributed patches, reported bugs and
tested releases.

G80 is the new 8th generation nVidia GPU (used in the 8800 series). Just came out a couple weeks ago.

Okay got this licked - new static MIPSpro Firefox-2.0 build in 'beta'. Hint was in bug #79562 - apparently they were maintaining a MIPSpro optimization exception list for certain files in the JS tree; jsxdrapi.o needs to be added to that list:

Okay, figured out the Firefox-2.0 problems and new static MIPSpro build is in 'beta'. Better late than never

It's working nicely for me as well. Thanks much Neko!

gtk1 or gtk2 based?

It's GTK1; GTK2 is just too slow under IRIX. Can't make a static build as easily either.

Still does. But it's a "drop box" - you won't be able to get a directory listing in there, and you can only upload files. This is done for security/abuse reasons.

I think Cairo can only deal with a 24-bit visual (-depth 24 on Xservers line) - 8 (IRIX default) or 32 cause it to crash.

Connect to the L1 port (serial port located on the motherboard) to see why the L1 is turning the machine off. Could be environmental monitoring.

You had a serial cable to connect to the rear of the box - same cable to connect to the L1 port on the motherboard - 9-pin serial.

You're not looking in the right place. Take the side panel off your Fuel and locate the L1 serial port on the motherboard , near the PIMM.

Could be - thought it is was 19200/8/1/n but you may need to experiment on the line speed.

Yep, either a bad power supply or (more likely) incorrect environmental monitoring. If you feel like taking a chance you can turn off the env monitoring by issuing 'env off' at the L1 prompt. Then boot the system.

Nope, you'd need to swap the entire motherboard - it's integrated. Glad it's working for you though.

Well getting 2.0 straightened out was a bear, but once the porting work is done it's trivial to produce the point releases. The fun will begin again when they move on to 3.0

Do we have anything in /beta that can be moved to /current? Looks like some stuff has been in there a while now.

Not a problem. Looks like this was sent out as an update because Oracle finally patched their bundled library: "Oracle has released the January 2007 Critical Patch Update and updates to address the buffer overflow vulnerability in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers function of OpenSSL." Other than that, old news

I just (re-)installed neko_gimp from /current and I noticed that it (still) lacks the dependency on libart in the tardist. I thought I recalled someone posting about this issue in the past, but I couldn't find it.

I don't think anyone's touched that package in a long time. Volunteers are welcome
