heftig's nightlies: Firefox, Freetype, and more

heftig · 2012-07-17 04:36:52

Done. Packages built in the future will have filelists.

I also reenabled GStreamer for Aurora as the crashing was fixed. Youtube reports h.264 support now.

linux-zen now uses UKSM ( http://kerneldedup.org/en/projects/uksm … sage0-1-2/ ).

I think I've been seeing occasional stalls because of it. Can anyone confirm?

ethail · 2012-08-30 23:49:57

I'm curious, why the 1.1 value on pkgrel of linux-zen?

EDIT: nevermind, I've found that et61x251 headers are not included and the kernel source tarball is different.

I closely follow the linux package, so this shows which release it's based on: Still linux 3.5.3-1, but this is the second release of linux-zen, hence 3.5.3-1.1 .

ethail · 2012-08-30 23:56:55

I see, thank you for the clarification

Sorry for the delay, just found this. I've been using Zen on a thumb drive with some minor delays. Also, on my desktop I get soft lockups when I shutdown or reboot more than half the time (not sure if it is related or not).

To make sure this is caused by UKSM, you would check again with it deactivated (write 0 to /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run).

I'm pretty sure the soft lockup isn't part of this; unless CK kernel is also incorporates uksm. I think my problem has to do with CrashPlan.

I will test out the other live USB in the next couple of days.

@heftig: Many thanks for this repo! BTW, I have to set your repo to SigLevel= Never to avoid having powerpill throw errors. Is there any other way around this?

i also had some stalls with zen kernel, had to give it up for now. i'm waiting for new version...

nbvcxz · 2012-12-29 23:24:35

Just testing linux-zen-3.7.1-2.1 from your repo. Am I right that it is without UKSM?
btw. thx for great work

zanny · 2013-01-09 06:17:54

Just wanted to say thanks for this repo as well. It seems silly how painful it is to package rolling Firefox releases. Works perfect out of the box and I could just copy over my stock FF settings fine. h264 support is really neat, I hope the mainline project adopts gstreamer (I guess they could use ffmpeg too).

heftig · 2013-01-21 14:22:50

That's just a tail of make failures. The real error is somewhere further up.

RE: the Zen kernel. My start up seems a lot slower using Zen over ck-Ivybridge. I can do some benchmarks, but does this make sense? I assume the IvyBridge ck patchset is probably tweaked more for my proc than Zen.

KM3K · 2013-05-03 14:43:03

The aurora package file doesn't seem to be in your repo today, but it is in the database.

heftig · 2013-05-03 14:44:43

Fixed. Sorry.

heftig · 2013-05-03 16:57:04

I need testers for these packages, especially the i686 one:
aurora-22.0a2.20130503.3967ffd09b3c-1-i686
aurora-22.0a2.20130503.3967ffd09b3c-1-x86_64

The i686 package works fine for me.

heftig · 2013-05-03 17:13:21

Great! Thanks.

heftig · 2013-05-04 07:44:50

Gave the buildscripts an overhaul, so adding new nightly packages to the repo is as easy as pie.

Added freetype2-git to the repository. Has much nicer rendering than the stock freetype2, at least in my opinion.

heftig · 2013-05-15 10:27:41

Freetype is looking quite good, making Cantarell (GNOME's default font) tolerable:

The terminal font used here is Source Code Pro from the texlive-fontsextra package.

Can you verify aurora-i686-23.0a2+20130602+d57f75168193-1 works?
Mine coredumps upon launching.

Ah, whoops. Probably because of x86_64 CFLAGS, making it require SSE2 and stuff. The 20130603 build should be better.
