Hello,
I found lxqt-0.13 working very well within LFS-8.3, and
I think team should reconsider its decision about it.
Within a private email exchange with Bruce trying to make the point,
he told me "LXQ dependencies are cumbersome, I should consider
to look at XFCE...a lot easier".
Why not, if I found LXQT easy enough, XFCE should be a
"peace of cake".
It was true, was able to define 2 XFCE modules "spec file" every hour.
Until I reach xfce4-xkb-plugin, a very small module to
use none US keyboard....no big deal...
Well... as there is countries flags in "svg" format you
need librsvg, right....
librsvg need cargo (according designer, to be able to
easily set the compilation debug flag (?)), and cargo
is embedded with rustc...
Wohhh... I have seen Email with a subject as "I hate rustc".....
Lets figure this out.
#metoo, "I hate rustc".
- 2 Build, hours apart won't give the same result, event
if it is the same version number.
- As package is huge (2Gig), compilation time is out
of control.
- No way to compile without being on the net.
- Its a "package deal" coming with own basic libraries set
(doubling the bugs surface)
- RPM file is near 600 Megs....
(600 Megs for a compiler???, some time ago, I designed a
YACC parser in UCSD-pascal, within the Apple-II 64kbyte memory,
and it was able to compile its own YACC definition and rebuild
itself..., come on, 600 Megs for compiler...).
- Rustc project seems to be a biological chimera between
C (language) and modula2 (units implementation and
standardization)
- I wonder if rustc is an experimentation or a "coding bad trip".
I (strongly) think rustc should be outcasted From Linux From Scratch.
Sadly, firefox needs it, and firefox is quite essential to me.
I although agree that rust is a bad joke, thought out by people who
don't have a clue, and then messing up big time while trying to
implement it.
I mean, a language that requires you to update the compiler every three
month, that is not even funny anymore. A clear proof that they have no
plan make up everything along the way.
Bye
Tim
