Bug 119923 – media-gfx/fbi deprecation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2006-01-22 07:21:06 UTC]

Since the 'fbi' package is deprecated and no longer developed upstream, I'd like to remove it from the tree, leaving only its successor 'fbida' in place.

fbi is currently keyworded for many more arches than fbida is. I don't have access to the necessary hardware to test fbida on all these arches, but I suspect it will work just fine (its code is largely based on fbi).

When you get some time, please check whether it compiles on $your_arch. If it does, please keyword it appropriately, and if it does not, report it here. Thanks in advance.

fbida-2.03-r1 ~sparc'ed (builds and seems fine on an X-modular system, all IUSE flags USEd.)

[Comment 2 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-01-24 08:33:54 UTC]

added ~ppc64. leaving ppc64 CC'd for a stable marking reminder.

[Comment 3 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) 2006-02-19 14:45:07 UTC]

~alpha keyworded.

[Comment 4 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-03-01 12:35:35 UTC]

time to mark stable? this is more than 30 days ~ppc64 without open bugs

[Comment 5 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2006-03-04 13:02:26 UTC]

Markus: As far as I'm concerned, it's OK to go forward with it.

[Comment 6 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-03-05 09:18:53 UTC]

stable on ppc64

[Comment 7 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2006-04-09 08:03:29 UTC]

I wouldn't want to rush things or anything, but is there any progress with the two remaining arches (or any problems with the packages on these arches)?

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2006-04-09 10:25:18 UTC]

Marked ~hppa. Has been working very well and I marked it unstable late, so I might mark it stable slightly earlier than the standard 30 day period. Leaving hppa CC.

[Comment 9 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2006-06-13 19:15:10 UTC]

Stable on hppa. amd64 still has no keywords for any of the ebuilds.

[Comment 10 lothalev 2006-06-16 02:56:54 UTC]

What if exiftran package was created from fbida? exiftran is the only tool I use from fbida (and the only binary installed if fbida is compiled with USE=-X.
Does anybody use other facilities of fbida? Maybe just renaming fbida to exiftran would suffice (as it is pretty hard to find exiftran in Gentoo, while in Ubuntu/Debian apt-get install exiftran is enough)?

[Comment 11 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-06-23 10:04:58 UTC]

amd64 is done, move on

[Comment 12 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2006-07-02 11:22:45 UTC]

Guys, if there are no problems with media-gfx/fbida, could we please mark it stable on alpha and ppc, so that media-gfx/fbi can be removed from the tree?

Mike: Could you please keyword it for sh, so that the keywords for media-gfx/fbida are fully in sync with media-gfx/fbi?

[Comment 13 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2006-07-02 11:49:12 UTC]

I have some warnings on ppc, but in the end it compiles and works.  So, stable.

[Comment 14 Mike Hlavac 2006-07-08 10:49:03 UTC]

Tested 2.03-r3 on alpha with the following USE and emerge --info.  Please stabilize.

alpha stable.

Thanks everyone. media-gfx/fbi is now masked pending removal in approx. 30 days.
