https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222363 Bug ID: 222363 Summary: x11-wm/qtile currently broken (trying to update the port) Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: wg@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kraileth@elderlinux.org Assignee: wg@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(wg@FreeBSD.org) The port x11-wm/qtile builds but the application dies with an xcb.Exception. I'm new to porting but I would like to update and fix this issue. The probl= em here is that the dependencies for newer versions changed and one new depend= ency (py-xcffib) is not yet in ports. That dependency has two other missing dependencies itself (hs-xcb-types and hs-language-python). The latest version of Qtile works on FreeBSD; I was able to manually build = and install it (getting the dependencies through Python's Pip) to ensure it mak= es sense to update the port. Then I created ports for all the missing dependencies and tried to follow w= hat is recommended in the Porter's Handbook. However I'm pretty sure that those ports are not yet in acceptable shape and thus I would need a hand by an experienced porter. I've contacted the maintainer, asking if I should open = a PR and he told me to go ahead with it. Obeying the "one bug per PR" rule, I will create new PRs for the new ports. Could someone please mark x11-wm/qtile as BROKEN for now? Also please bear = with me if I'm not doing this as it is expected. I'm willing to learn. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
