Oct 1, 2024Monthly summary for 2024-10 focusing on packaging and build-system improvements in haikuports/haikuports. Key features delivered: - Curl Packaging Improvements: Removed private curl_devel dependencies (libnghttp2, libssl, libz) and updated libcurl.pc to simplify static linking; conditionally disabled libpsl on x86_gcc2 by adjusting REQUIRES/BUILD_REQUIRES and passing --without-libpsl to configure. (Commits: de1a699f7b33176b9240ad7390248aa36fbb46d8; c22ea2267d8e85fd40d08188d43924e3eda0c0ef) - Ncurses Upgrade and Build Streamlining: Upgraded to ncurses 6.5 with wide-character support by default and streamlined the ncurses6 build script for maintainability. (Commits: b9946791e41b8f3b1253711f7e1d034a82abe91b; 9157617e1e33c1fb355ce11f1085b5412d7f34b9) Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes listed for this period; emphasis on feature delivery and build reliability improvements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Reduced dependency surface and improved portability by removing private curl_devel dependencies and disabling libpsl on specific architectures. - Improved build reliability and maintainability through ncurses upgrade and build script cleanup, benefiting future releases and cross-platform consistency. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Packaging recipe refactoring, dependency management, and conditional build configurations. - Version upgrades and cleanup of build scripts for maintainability. - Cross-architecture support considerations and static linking optimizations. Business value: - Shorter, more reliable build pipelines; easier maintenance; reduced risk from private dependencies; better portability for HaikuPorts across platforms.
