Just as a little update, I tried upgrading openssl today. What's the result? Attempting to get file from fall-back mirrors wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Of course the huge list of spells triggered because of the library incompatibility now is dropped because the download failed. This is beyond stupid. Do we have an easy hook to make sorcery wait for all downloads to finish before continuing to cast a spell that is known to break others that then need to be recast? Or at least if one of those broken spells is our download tool? The big solution is to preserve the old library, well, a separate copy of core tools for sorcery is also sensible. But since even gentoo has library preservation now, I hope I'll get around and hack it up properly. Too much things to do, as always … What I wonder … of all the five people in the world using SMGL … am I the only one _really_ buggered by this? I understand Florian's point about it just being some playground. And, well, I also barely manage to have a desktop with SMGL running, and some occasional server. I did not find the time to set it up on my main workhorse laptop, since years now. Alrighty then, Thomas
Bugs me too. ;) My SMGL box is headless, so I don't have to deal with X breaking, but other breakages cause issues, partly due to the chicken-egg of what am I compiling against vs. what will be installed, and when. I'm not sure leaving around old files will help in the long run, as then we might link against them, though we could "archive" them to another folder further down the ld.so.conf path so they're linked/referred to last only if the proper library (or version of that library) isn't found.
I'm very careful about upgrading my SMGL box as my whole family relies on it for several services, though it's been on test grimoire for a while now for newer versions (as you mentioned).
