Re: Compiling system for Ubuntu

2020-09-12 Thread Dan Kegel
Here's the rough recipe for building ubuntu 18.04's systemd (well, or anything, really): Start a clean ubuntu 18.04 system (perhaps with lxd), then: sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install devscripts sudo apt build-dep systemd apt source systemd cd systemd-237 debuild -b -uc -us cd

It is a bit hard to find. https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/report-ubuntu-bug.html.en mentions running ubuntu-bug, and that should work; just give the name of the package as an argument. - Dan On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 2:42 PM Petr Schuchmann wrote: > > Hello, > > I asked question on AskUb

Re: libssl or libssl-dev metapackage?

2019-12-11 Thread Dan Kegel
As far as I know, libssl-dev is stable. The -dev suffix just means it provides development files, e.g. .h and .pc files. On any particular Ubuntu version, it only gets micro updates, and no experimental ones. - Dan On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 11:02 AM Brylie Christopher Oxley wrote: > Hello, > > I

Quicker approach: realizing that the package you want is gone but not forgotten :-), download the debs from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/amd64/clang-format-4.0/1:4.0.1-10build1 and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/amd64/libllvm4.0/1:4.0.1-10build1 and install them with sudo dpkg -i libll

For what it's worth, I just forward-ported 3.9 from xenial to disco because the alternative was reformatting a bazillion lines of source code. It wasn't too hard, just had to do 'apt source clang-format' on an ubuntu 18.04 box, transfer the source to a 19.04 box, install gcc 7 and make three littl
