[users] libcaca upgrade problem

[Nicolas Thierry-Mieg]

Hello,

this is on centos 5 x86_64.

A new version of libcaca is offered on rpmforge, 0.99-0.1.beta17.el5.rf.
The current version on my system is beta11.

beta11 provided libcucul.so.0, the new version does not.

The current xine package has a dep on libcucul.so.0, so upgrading
libcaca would require uninstalling xine.

Would a simple rebuild of xine solve the issue?

Regards,
Nicolas

Yes, I am aware of it. In fact I am looking into updating xine as well,
but it requires an lirc update. It seems an endless effort...

And all this for an update to a library that is needed for a vlc that we
can not build anyway :-/

No, it's just that nowadays xine developers expect lirc packagers to
provide them with a pkgconfig file (while having broken the normal
CFLAGS / LIBS support in the meantime to make sure there's no way back)
and our lirc package is broken beyond repair so it seems. I wouldn't
venture into updating lirc, but it's trivial to hack up a dirty patch
for xine, since we regenerate the build system anyways.

And, by the way, you could have just rebuilt xine 0.99.5 without any
problems.

Ah, come on, let's stop updating the damn packages then. And why do we
need a repository at all? It takes so much time and efforts to
maintain...

Hello,

this is on centos 5 x86_64.

A new version of libcaca is offered on rpmforge, 0.99-0.1.beta17.el5.rf.
The current version on my system is beta11.

beta11 provided libcucul.so.0, the new version does not.

The current xine package has a dep on libcucul.so.0, so upgrading
libcaca would require uninstalling xine.

Would a simple rebuild of xine solve the issue?
