This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigB465CBAF1E0DE1199F4A5740 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 03/27/10 13:06, Tijl Coosemans wrote: <snip> > In /usr/ports/UPDATING look for the 20100205 entry for "users of Qt 3 > and KDE 3". Pointless in as far as that does not address the underlying problem of rebuilding EVERYTHING that needs to link against the jpeg library. GIMP and gegl failed because a dependency for it is linked against jpeg-7 and not jpeg-8. If I cannot basically reinstall the entire system via portupgrade -a I'm reduced to fixing the problem ad-hoc and that is unacceptable because eventually I'll have to deal with programs that link to whatever just got rebuilt. In essence, this is a problem that is not easily solved just by reading /usr/ports/UPDATING for Qt because it involves more than Qt (by the way, thanks for the hat tip on Qt, but it's not high on my priority list for being fixed right now, GIMP, Scribus and possibly a few other apps that I'm currently unaware of there being an issue with ARE). When jpeg-x (not a typo) is built, the port needs to be automatically looking forward to see what all depends on it (and if anything depends on that) and possibly asking the user if they want to upgrade all those programs to ensure they link to the proper version of jpeg at all times. Or they could all statically compile in jpeg support (as I assume FF does because I can still see jpegs in the file upload preview pane) so this is never an issue at all. I am currently able to manipulate any jpeg at all (and now unable to use an increasing number of apps) which is crippling my ability to edit images for any use. I'm really loving FreeBSD, but I can no longer use The GIMP to open JPEG's (and this is really the biggest issue I'm having as I need to be able to edit jpeg's so I can continue on with designing the site on my box, otherwise I will have to move back over to another computer (and right now the only one available is running WinXP, something I'd rather avoid using if I can), I cannot even launch Scribus (and a few other apps whose names escape me at the moment). Other apps open but have loads of errors regarding jpeg. I'm unable (as of about a month ago) to install Filezilla because of this (it stopped launching when I upgraded jpeg, so I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would work). Every time I think I've tracked down the one other library or whatever that something links against and needs jpeg, something new crops up and stops me from building. Again. Anyway, time I got off the comp. I'll be back later this evening to finish this discussion. --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
