Description of problem: I took the liberty of packaging llbase which is needed for building the Second Life viewer called Phoenix Firestorm.

So this is the 3rd new pkg request for the same subject. Is this another requirement for the original Autobuild application?

Perhaps you could merge the three under the original one.

Comment 3 sturmvogel 2023-01-16 20:37:27 CET
To clarify some points:

1:
There is no single linux distribution out there which packs Linden Lab's autobild (bug 31410)
(Important: Linden Lab Autobuild is not the same as or derived from GNU Autobuild, but they are similar enough to cause confusion!)

2:
Linden Lab's autobuild is mainly used to build SecondLife viewers like the Firestormviewer. No other purpose for this package.

3:
There is no need to package Linden Lab's autobuild. As it is a python module it can simply installed with 
"pip3 install git+https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/autobuild.git#egg=autobuild"
or
"pip3 install autobuild"

4:
Linden Lab's autobuild does not require llsd when installed via pip3 as described in point 3 above. So bug 31411 is INVALID.

5:
Linden Lab's autobuild pulls in automatically llbase when installed via pip3 as described in point 3 above. So bug 31412 is INVALID.



So unless we have a really bored packager, there is no need to package any of this 3 requested packages. Additionally they will be unmaintained soon as they have no real purpose in Mageia.

These 3 related requests do not warrant pushing. The user requirement is so obscure & specific that interested users would sort themeselves out.
