frankenpup dev road map 2: FINALLY!

Well i'm finally done with the libpng16 system wide reompilation process, everything is linked to it now and there is no trace of puppy's libpng12 and libpng14, it was a shitton of configure, autogens and libtoolize but now the system is cool and compiling anything graphics related is not a clusterfuck of passed args and code fuckery. Now i'm finishing the main sfs, striping it down a bit and doing some basic testing. Will try to upload the RC2 as soon as the system is stable enough.

frankenpup dev road map 1: FUCK THIS, I'M GOING TO SPACE

Bueno estoy teniendo un rato bastante desagradable recompilando un monton de libs y aplicaciones porque aguien penso "Linkiemos algunas libs y bins a versiones retrasadamente antiguas de libpng" (libpng12 y 14) y algun otro tarado le respondio "Eso suena increible!". No lo es... y no voy  aentrar en detalles ya que con un poquito de sentido comun se pueden dar cuenta de que a lo unico que lleva eso es a resultados de mierda. TL;DR:

Lista de paquetes recompilados (hasta ahora) para relinkear todo a libpng16:


- cairo-1.14.2
- doxygen-1.8.10
- dvdauthor-lipng16
- vepdfview-0.1.8
- fontconfig-2.11.1
- freetype-2.6
- gcolor2-0.4
- gcr-3.16.0
- gdk-pixbuf-2.31.4
- geany-1.24.1
- gegl-0.2.0
- gfnrename-0.6
- ghostscript-9.16
- gmeasures-0.7
- gnome-common
- gtk+-2.24.28
- gtk+-3.16.4
- gtk-doc-1.24
- gtklp-1.3.1
- gtksourceview
- gxmessage-2.20.4
- harfbuzz-0.9.40
- icoutils-0.31.0
- Imagemagick-6.9.1-7

- vte-0.28.2

Me quiero bajar :(

frankenpup dev road map 1: FUCK THIS, I'M GOING TO SPACE

Well i'm having  really hard time recompiling a shitton of applications and libs because someone thought "Hey, let's link some bins and libs against some old as fuck versions of libpng :D" (libpng 12 & 14) and some other guy said "Yeah, that sounds completely awesome :DD". Well... it's not, and i'm not going into details here it just takes a little bit of common sense to know this can lead to really, REALLY fucked up results. TL;DR:
