libtool @ Savannah: libtool-2.5.2 released [beta]

Posted on by Michael G

Libtoolers!

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.5.2, a beta release.

This beta release was not planned, but additional testing of a recent bugfix

was requested for distros to have the chance to test it with mass-rebuilds.

The details of this bugfix can be found here:

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=71489

The commit for this bugfix can be found here:

    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=0e1b33332429cd578367bd0ad420c065d5caf0ac

I hope to release the stable in a couple of weeks if testing goes well!

GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a

consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which

hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules)

behind a consistent, portable interface.

There have been 9 commits by 4 people in the 35 days since 2.5.1.

See the NEWS below for a brief summary.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

The following people contributed changes to this release:

  Bruno Haible (1)

  Ileana Dumitrescu (6)

  Sergey Poznyakoff (1)

  Tobias Stoeckmann (1)

==================================================================

Here is the GNU libtool home page:

    https://gnu.org/s/libtool/

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:

  https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.5.2

or run this command from a git-cloned libtool directory:

  git shortlog v2.5.1..v2.5.2

Here are the compressed sources:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz   (1.9MB)

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.5.2.tar.xz   (1.0MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz.sig

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.5.2.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:

  https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

  e3384dc0099855942f76ef8a97be94edab6f56de  libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz

  KSdftFsjbW/3IKQz+c1fYeovUsw6ouX4m6V3Jr2lR5M=  libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz

  71b7333e80b76510f5dbd14db54d311d577bb716  libtool-2.5.2.tar.xz

  e2C09MNk6HhRMNNKmP8Hv6mmFywgxdtwirScaRPkgmM=  libtool-2.5.2.tar.xz

Verify the base64 SHA256 checksum with cksum -a sha256 –check

from coreutils-9.2 or OpenBSD’s cksum since 2007.

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the

.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file

and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg –verify libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz.sig

The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key:

  pub   rsa4096 2021-09-23 [SC]

        FA26 CA78 4BE1 8892 7F22  B99F 6570 EA01 146F 7354

  uid   Ileana Dumitrescu <ileanadumi95@protonmail.com>

  uid   Ileana Dumitrescu <ileanadumitrescu95@gmail.com>

If that command fails because you don’t have the required public key,

or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve

or refresh it, and then rerun the ‘gpg –verify’ command.

  gpg –locate-external-key ileanadumi95@protonmail.com

  gpg –recv-keys 6570EA01146F7354

  wget -q -O- ‘https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=libtool&download=1‘ | gpg –import –

As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU

keyring:

  wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg

  gpg –keyring gnu-keyring.gpg –verify libtool-2.5.2.tar.gz.sig

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:

  Autoconf 2.72e

  Automake 1.17

  Gnulib v1.0-563-gd3efdd55f3

This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 29 Aug 2024, Week 35

Community News*

As a ghost from the troubled Internet past, a blog post about Geddit, A Reddit client without using their API, appeared last week, where the developer tells the story of how Geddit was born.

Mattermost Beta was updated to 2.19.0, bringing a steady stream of improvements for this FOSS chat solution that’s full of features: 1:1 chat, channels, threads, calls, archive search, dev tools integration, markdown, playbooks for processes, webhooks, plugins and more. And here’s the kicker: you can self-host the server!. Yes, it’s not on someone else’s computer (aka the cloud), no, it’s on yours, it’s On-Prem if you want it or in your own cloud. Even more, want the new fancy AI stuff? They’ve got a plugin for that too, so you can connect it to the big corporate controlled AI, or… to your own local AI (see a pattern there?). 😎 Is this the Slack or Teams killer that you’ve been looking for?

Readrops was updated to 2.0-beta01, and at least one user reported some issues on their device. We’ve changed the F-Droid metadata to not pickup beta versions in the future, until the developer deems releases stable. While we could not reproduce the issue on other device, you can read the upstream issue and see if you need to postpone the update.

Removed Apps

12 apps were removed
  • Clipboard Cleaner, An android app for showing and cleaning clipboard and Tasky, A highly intuitive and easy-to-use todo list app were archived at the request of the developer.
  • COVID19 related apps were past their time: Corona Stats, COVID-19 italian monitoring, Covid19 Stat, CovidAt, CovPass, CovPassCheck, free2pass, TousAntiCovid, UK COVID-19 Venue Check-in, USA COVID-19 Tracker

Newly Added Apps

3 apps were newly added
  • Click Switch: A game where you will have to hit the correct button
  • FadCam: Seamless background video recording – ad-free, with customizable options

Can you convert a video to pure CSS?

Posted on by Michael G
He regularly shares cool examples of fancy css animations. At the time of writing his focus has been on css scroll animations. I guess there are some new properties that allow playing a css animation based on the scroll position. Apple has been using this on their marketing pages or so jhehy says. The property seems pretty powerful. But how powerful? This got me thinking… Could it play a video as pure css? ↫ David Gerrells The answer is yes. This is so cursed, I love it – and he even turned it into an app so anyone can convert a video into CSS.
