stretched MX-16 problems

[Jerry3904]

Thanks to Tim and Stevo. I wasn't very clear in my OP: my interest is not to set this up for my own use, but to try and document where problems might arise for MX-17 as we go forth.

If you are using youtubedl-gui, that can download and use the latest youtube-dl within the application..as can QMPlay2.

I do have plain vanilla jessie and stretch builds of smtube in my OBS repo, though the Stretch version is still built against Qt 4--I think I'll fix that. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=127574

I think I can pull a trick with the build-depends to get it to use Qt 4 if Qt 5 is older than 5.6, so I don't have to split the Stretch version into a different package like I did for ffmpeg.

Here's the smtube 17.5.0 MX 17 packages built on Stretch: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxE7w ... Vo1NXRVekU

They work in the antiX 17 beta, too.

[Stevo]

The trick worked! Just these alternative build-depends make it use Qt 4 forJessie and Qt 5 for Stretch:

Code: Select all

 qt5-default (>= 5.6) | libqt4-dev (>= 4.6),
 libqt5webkit5-dev (>= 5.6) | libqtwebkit-dev,
 qttools5-dev-tools (>= 5.6) | libqt4-dev (>= 4.6),
 qtscript5-dev (>= 5.6) | libqt4-dev (>= 4.6)

stevo - for smtube stretch you need to change gnome-mplayer with gnome-mpv since gnome-mplayer is not in stretch and is deprecated.

Here is a patch.

[Stevo]

Thanks for finding that! But we don't need to patch anything in the debian folder, I can just edit the control file directly to add the gnome-mpv alternative dependency. I'll update the package.

Hmm, it also works with Dragon Player and QMPlay2, I can add those.

Edit: I also see that Stretch's xfce and Qt 5 doesn't suffer from the missing systray icon bug, like we had for qBittorrent when built on Qt 5, so that's good.

[anticapitalista]

You're the packager, stevo and know best.

Sorry to OP jerry for dragging this thread off topic.

[Jerry3904]

No, this is the topic actually: what problems do we have to consider with the move to Stretch? I know you're way ahead on this...

stevo - have you packaged the new/new version?

[Stevo]

Whoops--I only did it in the OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... ert/SMTube

If you can't use those sources and packages, I can do them in a couple minutes in antiX virtual machines. If that, do you want some kind of branding in the version, like "17.5.0.-1antix1"?

I also got sidetracked by finding out that the "apt install" command in Stretch can now install standalone debs and their dependencies, though it seems to throw a nasty yet harmless warning at the end. Tested with conky-legacy-all, and it correctly removed conky-all first. If it can install more than one deb at once, that puts it ahead of gdebi.

I can't download the file package: No data for home:stevepassert / SMTube

17.5.0.-1antix1 seems good to me
