 13 Apr 2007  »  develia.org back in sync with slackware-current  
After a quite long period of tests, user reports and recompilations (mostly), the develia.org archive has been updated for use with slackware-current. This implies -let's make this clear- that most of the tarballs aren't going to work anymore with slackware 11.0 (due to the glibc upgrade in -current). Many tarballs have been recompiled to use the new file layout of slackware-current (no more /opt/kde and /usr/X11R6), others have been updated to the most recent version, others have been removed (cause their software is now officially available in the distribution, etc.). Here it is the list of updated packages (including new builds and new entries). Desktop: kde 3.5.6, kdevelop-3.4.0, xfce-4.4.0. Libraries: atk-1.18.0, boost-1.33.1, cairo-1.4.2, cairomm-1.2.4, enchant-1.3.0, glib2-2.12.11, glibmm24-2.12.7, goffice-0.3.7, gsl-1.9, gtk+2-2.10.11, gtkmm24-2.10.8, imlib2-1.3.0, libglademm-2.6.3, libgnomecanvas-2.14.0, libgnomecups-0.2.2, libgnomeprint-2.18.0, libgnomeprintui-2.18.0, libmowgli-0.1.3, libnotify-0.4.4, liboil-0.3.11, librsvg-2.16.1, libsigc++1-1.2.7, libsigc++2-2.0.17, mcs-0.4.1, oniguruma-5.5.3, orbit2-2.14.7, pango-1.16.1, poppler-0.5.4, pwlib-1.10.5, pygtk-2.10.4, pygobject-2.12.3, pycairo-1.4.0, qt-3.3.8, raptor-1.4.14, sdl-1.2.11, sdl_image-1.2.5, sdl_mixer-1.2.7, sdl_net-1.2.6, sdl_sound-1.0.1, sdl_ttf-2.0.8, sqlite-3.3.13, wine-0.9.34.

That's all for now... have fun! :)

 18 Mar 2007  »  slackware-current moves again  
After some time, slackware-current started to evolve again. The changelog is very long and more changes are probably to be done; in the next days, I'll review changes in order to bring develia.org packages in sync with the new slackware-current layout... stay tuned! Oh, on a sidenote: Audacious is now included in the distribution. Happy I am! ;)

 14 Feb 2007  »  tarballs - kde 3.5.6, xfce 4.4.0, ...  
Tarballs update. I've been mostly busy with Audacious 1.3 development in my (short) free time; anyway, here's a good amount of new packages, while waiting for slackware-current to evolve again. First, KDE 3.5.6 tarballs are now available in the archive. There's also the new version (4.4.0) of XFCE, the nice gtk-based desktop environment. I've decided to migrate from dbus-0.62 to dbus-1.0, this required dbus-dependent software to be recompiled; after this update, all of the packages with dbus dependency in the archive should use dbus-1.0; if I forgot to update one of them, let me know. I've also updated pango and cairo, since it's possible to do it without breaking binary compatibility with slackware-current. In the next days, I may investigate compatibility with up-to-date gtk+ and glib as well. That's all, for now. Here's a detailed list of updated tarballs. Desktop: arts-1.5.6 (with and without jack support), kdeaccessibility-3.5.6, kdeaddons-3.5.6, kdeadmin-3.5.6, kdeartwork-3.5.6, kdebase-3.5.6, kdebindings-3.5.6, kdeedu-3.5.6, kdegames-3.5.6, kdegraphics-3.5.6, kdelibs-3.5.6, kdemultimedia-3.5.6, kdenetwork-3.5.6 (with and without kopete), kdepim-3.5.6, kdesdk-3.5.6, kdetoys-3.5.6, kdeutils-3.5.6, kdevelop-3.3.6, kdewebdev-3.5.6, xfce-4.4.0.

 06 Nov 2006  »  documents - oh wow, a faq page!

Tarballs update. Libraries: gtk+-2.8.20. Gnupg: gnupg-1.4.5. I've also re-uploaded wine and gimp tarballs, since they weren't uploaded correctly the first time (thanks for reporting). Updates in develia archive will be very rare in the month of August, since I'll rarely be at home. When I come back, I'll update all other packages (KDE too) and probably, at that time, the big wave of modifies and updates in slackware-current will be almost finished (slackware 11 coming near!). Have a nice summer!

 12 Jul 2006  »  projects - amidi-plug 0.5  
I've released AMIDI-Plug version 0.5. This is an important release, with major feature enhancements. AMIDI-Plug has become a nice MIDI subsystem, with runtime-loadable backends that can handle and play MIDI events in their distinct way and that bring better flexibility and portability. In example, the ALSA dependency is now optional (the only element requesting it is the ALSA backend) so it's now possible to compile and use AMIDI-Plug on non-Linux systems. Currently there are three backends included in source code: ALSA, FluidSynth, dummy. This version is also included in Audacious 1.1.0. More info available in the projects area.

 24 May 2006  »  tarballs - amarok-1.4.0, sdl-1.2.10, ...  
Tarballs update. Glib-2.10 has been officially added to slackware-current, so I've removed glib-2.8.6 from the archive. More, I've recompiled kdelibs-3.5.2 without the fast-malloc option that doesn't work properly with glib-2.10; the new kdelibs build is available in desktop section. Seamonkey (heir of the dear old mozilla suite) has been added to slackware-current too, and programs requiring mozilla libraries (like gaim with nss) will be able to pick them from seamonkey. So I've removed the obsolete mozilla-* packages (containing separate sets of mozilla libraries) from the libraries section. Here are tarballs updates in detail. Desktop: kdelibs-3.5.2 (second build). Libraries: pango-1.12.2, sdl-1.2.10, sdl_image-1.2.5, sdl_mixer-1.2.7, sdl_net-1.2.6, sdl_ttf-2.0.8. Multimedia: amarok-1.4.0, gstreamer-0.10-0.10.6, jack-audio-connection-kit-0.101.1.

 13 Feb 2006  »  tarballs - kde 3.5.1, qt 3.3.5, gtk 2.8.12, ...  
Many updates in slackware-current, many news here too. KDE 3.5.1: arts-1.5.1 (with or without jack support), kdeaccessibility-3.5.1, kdeaddons-3.5.1, kdeadmin-3.5.1, kdeartwork-3.5.1, kdebase-3.5.1, kdebindings-3.5.1, kdeedu-3.5.1, kdegames-3.5.1, kdegraphics-3.5.1, kdelibs-3.5.1, kdemultimedia-3.5.1, kdenetwork-3.5.1, kdepim-3.5.1, kdesdk-3.5.1, kdetoys-3.5.1, kdeutils-3.5.1, kdevelop-3.3.1, kdewebdev-3.5.1. This KDE version has been compiled with Qt 3.3.5, available in libraries section. Let's talk about GTK+: gtk+2-2.8.12, glib2-2.8.6, pango-1.10.3, atk-1.10.3 (in libraries section); Slackware officially adopted gtk 2.8 in slackware-current, so now I can finally do the same; from now on, every gtk-related tarball on develia.org will be compiled with gtk 2.8. Other updates: amarok-1.3.8 (multimedia), xine-1.1.1 (multimedia), libmusicbrainz-2.1.2 (with libtunepimp-0.4.2, multimedia), dbus-0.60 (libraries), cairo-1.0.2 (libraries, second build), sdl-1.2.9 (libraries, second build for each tarball), poppler (libraries), subversion-1.3.0 (software development, second build), gnupg-1.4.2 (gnupg, second build). In the next days I'll recompile GnuPG related software, cause some of the updates in slackware-current require this to be done (some dependencies changed, in example those related to berkeley db and readline, plus the new dbus api). There will probably be other software that should be recompiled; in case you notice some missing dependencies related to the latest slackware-current updates, just email me and I'll proceed to recompile. This will happen anyway in the further times. Last note: I removed the tarballs of db-4.2 (obsolete in current), openldap (now available in current), taglib (updated in current). That's all, for now :)

 7 Feb 2006   »  gcc 3.4, future plans  
The gcc compiler has been updated in slackware-current (from 3.3 to 3.4), and I'm going to recompile some develia.org tarballs. The compiler update brings a change in the C++ ABI version (from 102 of gcc 3.3 to 1002 of gcc 3.4/4.0); I'm going to recompile with gcc 3.4 all those tarballs that contain c++ software (even if this is not strictly necessary for all of them). I'll start in the next days with Qt and KDE, this way I'll also update KDE to the recently released 3.5.1 version. Stay tuned!

 15 Sep 2005  »  slackware linux 10.2  
Slackware Linux version 10.2 was released today! Of course, visit Slackware.com to read everything about the new version. As always, the distribution is freely downloadable. However, I personally think that buying the cdset from the Slackware store, if you can afford it, it's a nice way to offer a concrete support to your favourite distribution. Italians can easily buy them from www.slackware.it, the Slackware Linux official italian website.

 24 Aug 2005  »  tarballs - gtk+2-2.6.10, k3b-0.12.3, ...  
I've decided to wait a little before switching completely to GTK+ 2.8; for now, I'll keep using GTK+ 2.6 and the packages available on develia.org will be compiled with this GTK+ version, for a couple of simple reasons: (1) GTK+ 2.8 introduces cario dependency, meaning that programs compiled against GTK+ 2.8 won't work on systems that adopt GTK+ 2.6 or older; (2) I've experienced some stability issues with GTK+ 2.8 and I think it's a good idea to wait for further releases to fix them, in the meantime I'll stick with the proven stability of GTK+ 2.6. The packages of GTK+ 2.8 (gtk+2-2.8.1, atk-1.10.1, pango-1.10.0, glib2-2.8.1) will remain available in the "experimental" corner of libraries section, and those of GTK+ 2.6 (gtk+2-2.6.10, atk-1.9.1, pango-1.8.2, glib2-2.6.6) will return back in place. On with the tarballs update, now. Libraries: gtk+2-2.6.10. Multimedia: k3b-0.12.3. Networking: gaim-1.5.0 (second build, recompiled against GTK+ 2.6).

 23 Aug 2005  »  develia.org - back online  
After a summer break, develia.org is back online! It was a partially forced break, due to hardware replacement and migration to OpenBSD (yep, back to the blowfish). Many news in this summer period, like the longed for rejection of software patents, given from European Parliament with almost unanimous vote (648 contrary, 14 in favour and 18 abstained) on 6 July. Of course there are many news in opensource world, like the release 3.4.2 of KDE and the release 2.8.0 of GTK+, the first Cairo-based GTK+, that is raising much curiosity. It will be possible to test it right now, since it's one of the many updates that I've already published on develia.org; read the next article for the detailed list.

 10 Jun 2005  »  a crucial date for freedom  
One month from now, on 6 July, the European Parliament will have the last chance to prevent the introduction of a US-style software patent law in the European Union; this introduction would bring very negative conseguences for the entire European industry (expecially for small-medium companies), for European citizens and for free software too. More information are available at www.nosoftwarepatents.com. Whoever is not informed should take some time and read what is happening. People (electors) can make the difference and ensure that their representatives in Parliament will take the right decision, and keep the software unpatentable. This is important, guys.
