stretched MX-16 problems
Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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.
Production: 4.15.0-1-amd64, MX-17.1, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 8 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Testing: AAO 722: 4.15.0-1-386. MX-17.1, AMD C-60 APU, 4 GB
Personal: XPS 13, 4.18.0-19.3-liquorix, 4 GB

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... ert/SMTube
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.

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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)

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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.

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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.

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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...

Re: stretched MX-16 problems
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.
