Description Adrian Schollmeyer 2023-08-08 09:13:30 UTC
Version 2.19 is available since March 5.
Version 2.16 (which is currently available in ::gentoo) was released in 2020!

Thanks!

I've tried to bump biber before. The conclusion was that since biber is tightly coupled with biblatex and biblatex is tightly coupled with texlive, we need to bump texlive first before being able to bump biber.

The good news is that negril is working on texlive 2023 in ::gentoo. \o/

dev-tex/biber-2.19 fails to build because biber-2.19-disable-64bit-only-tests.patch is missing.

Just renaming "${P}-disable-64bit-only-tests.patch" to "${PN}-2.16-disable-64bit-only-tests.patch" at biber-2.19.ebuild fixes this issue.

Thanks for reporting this.

Out of curiosity, do you still use a x86 system? How come? I always wonder how many x86 users are out there. And hearing from one and the reasons why x86 is still used would be interesting.
