<oriansj>hmmm have @FSF-APPROVED @FSF-APPROVED-OTHER set but failing on font due to license when doing an X11 emerge.
<stikonas>maybe that license is not explicitely approved by FSF?
<stikonas>there are some less used licenses that are free software licenses but not approved by FSF
<stikonas>though I myself just use default (ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE") license list
<stikonas>hmm, my first prototype of M0.S for UEFI doesn't work... I'll have to try to debug it
***WaxCPU is now known as Andrew
***Maja_ is now known as Maja
<stikonas>fossy, doras: so I've pushed the change to build gperf statically and remaining libraries both statically and dynamically
<stikonas>though I haven't managed to make guile do static build...
<stikonas>doras: we missed at least a pair of pregenerated files in libtool 2.4.7...
<stikonas> https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/issues/203
<stikonas>CC fossy ^^
<stikonas>doras: any chance you could look at it later?
<stikonas>I've written 3 possible options
<rickmasters>stikonas: when I wrote simple-patch.c I had older submodules without replace, and it didn't look like replace handled multiline patches but maybe I'm wrong about that?
<stikonas>rickmasters: probably no
<stikonas>rickmasters: no, I think replace is just very simple replacement for sed without anything fancy
<stikonas>it was mainly written to configure mes https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/sysa/mes-0.24/mes-0.24.kaem#L50
<stikonas>maybe we should have used your simple-patch.c but we were not aware of it...
<rickmasters>I wrote it after replace was written so you wouldn't have been able to
<rickmasters>it was written in kind of a hurry, I'm sure it could be better so not something I was proud to advertise
<rickmasters>but feel free to use it if you'd like
<rickmasters>That reminds me I have a TODO item to report a bug in M2libc/string.c memcmp - didn't work for me so I wrote memsame function
<rickmasters>for those interested: https://github.com/ironmeld/boot2now/blob/main/tool-steps/builder-hex0-with-tcc-from-mes/simple-patch.c
<rickmasters>stikonas: simple-patch reads the before and after patterns from files so its a bit more of a hassle to use
<rickmasters>stikonas: I'll probably switch my single line patches to replace so I can get rid of the patch files
<rickmasters>stikonas: I finally got around to updating my submodules so thats an option now
