Xlibs.tcz update

[hiro]

3.7 release announcement included:

Also new are the following extensions for micorcore:
wbar.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
Xprogs.tcz

But Xlibs.tcz remains unchanged. Why?

[roberts]

3.7 was released 15 June. Xlibs.tcz in repository is dated 15 June and is the latest version of Xlibs extension with the updated libfreetype.so.6.6.2

I would not take the "index*.html" as an authoritative source. I'd typically use for these sort of questions
    wget -S --spider ... which shows the HTTP header information without downloading the file (note: this needs the fully fledged version of it from the 'wget.tcz' extension):

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ wget -S --spider http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/Xlibs.tcz

I assume the original reason for my confusion was a failed update or so.
The tcz index and the extension's .info file should still be readjusted imho.

OT: How can I see which freetype release corresponds to e.g. libfreetype.so.6.4.0/6.6.2?

[Juanito]

The pkgconfig file in base-dev says 12.2.6 for the corresponding libfreetype.la 6.6.2

[curaga]

They and their weird naming I just use freetype-config.
