Bugzilla Bug 179150

I'd like to stablize 6.2.0-r1 for now, with an eye towards 6.2.1, but I'm not
in a big hurry for the latter (I'd like the grass users to bang on it for a
bit).  I've haven't marked amd64 stable, even though it's been tested and used
(with real data) extensively here, due to ARCH testing policy and the USE flag
GUI intricacies cited below.

Other than QA updates, this has been pretty stable for a while as far as data
and image formats, database plugins, etc, even though it has some configure
braindeadness and basically needs the X-related USE flags enabled.  The
upstream stable version is now 6.2.1 (adding to the tree now for testing) and
their bleeding-edge is 6.3.x (which I haven't even looked at yet).

The only real issue with grass is following the warnings in the ebuild, and you
can't currently disable all the GUI functionality.  Also, opengl support
depends on thread support in tcl and tk being disabled (that's an issue with
tcl development).  Other than that it works smoothly on x86 and amd64,
including the 3D visualization and fly-through.

Don't forget to have fun...

Stable on sparc.  This builds and seems to run using both the {blas,
lapack}-atlas packages and the {blas, lapack}-reference packages, fftw,
tcl+tk,mysql, sqlite, and so on.  I note in passing that the limitation on
tcl+tk (USE=-threads if USE=opengl) conflicts with some other packages (most
obviously, dev-tcltk/threads which cannot be built unless USE=threads).  This
is most likely not a significant problem, but as noted above, it should be
addressed.

On amd64 current stable lapack and blas won't work...markusle promised to
prepare a new stabilisation round.

Yeah, I did :) I committed blas/lapack-atlas-3.7.31 on Thursday 
which will be the one I'll push into stable unless something unexpected
crops up. I hope that works. 

Best,
Markus

See comment #1 above...  You can try disabling opengl (the nviz thing is opengl
based) but the current configure scripts don't seem to be able to completely
disable all the X gui deps.  If that doesn't work, then you'll have to enable
the rest of the GUI flags, ie, tcl, tk, and motif (otherwise you'll need to
mask any versions higher than whatever works for you).

Feel free to try the configure options on the latest version(s) and see if you
can get a minimal build/install...  And don't forget to report back :)

The latest 6.2.1 should now compile without any nviz, GUI, or X deps, with the
following USE flags disabled:

-X -opengl -glw -motif -tcl -tk

Anyone that needs grass on a server or console-only machine should try it out.

Can we get some amd64 action on this?  Thanks...

not before we got some sci action on bug 171784

Doesn't seem like anything I can do from the Sci side; looks more like arch
testing and donnie letting it sit for 3 months.

One more time?  I think the prerequisites have been met...

AMD64:

compiles, runs. GUI doesnt seem to correspond to the wiki docs, and i dont know
enough to properly test its functions
