Private Repository And Upgrade To CentOS 7.5 (Kernel / GStreamer / Mesa)

CentOS 3 Comments

Hello Everyone,

long time ago I wrote my last mail about my personal repository.

The Upgrade went most smoostly. Only need to recompile mesa (enable by wayland ) and

qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.2-1.el7.CentOS.src.rpm (missing by epel)
nextcloud-client-2.3.3-1.el7.CentOS.src.rpm

My current software Setup:

– kernel 4.16.8 (elrepo with some amd switches)
– updated graphic driver stack libdrm / libva 2.1/ amd & intel & nvidia
(opensource driver)
– gstreamer 10.5 & ffmpeg 2.8.14
– media with vlc 2.2.8 (vlc 3 & ffmpeg3 needs newer compiler)
– mesa 18.0.3 / llvm 6.0

Moved from gnome to Xfwm4 for smoother workflow.

Wayland is untested here.

My WineHQ must be recompiled, that’s all is left todo for now. I know some of my repo packages are not wayland enabled, but not needed this time.

Totem is mostly unusable this time since mesa 18.0. Got same problem with Arch Linux. In fact nothing todo with my software stack. Got vlc by the way.

Everything can be found at:

http://CentOS.cms4all.org/repo/7/

While everything is my private playground and not a official repsitory the packages are “hand made” and unsigned.

What’s the benefit of this? Everything working as a normal Workstation on a server stack software. Tested also the last tombraider from steam….nice gameplay..

The last 2 years nothing breaks realy, when I starded my project:
CentOS Multimedia enabled. Still the same drive/installation with the vodoo software testdrive. No distribution drives that long in the past.

Sincerely

Andy

  • There is little excuse in 2018 for not signing packages and you may well find that your efforts are slow to be adopted / used by others as a result.

    May I ask as to why you aren’t signing packages?

  • Thanks Andy!

    I mostly use wine from your repos.

    Are you able to include vulkan support when you compile wine?

    dxvk seems to be coming along nicely :)

  • Thanks Andy!

    I mostly use your wine-staging pba packages.

    Do you accept tips?

    One request :P If it’s at all possible when you next come to compiling wine may you compile with vulkan support?
