[OpenIndiana-discuss] meld utility broken after BE upgrade this morning

[Predrag Zečević]

Well, I am not so good in Python settings...

Tried, but was stuck -- re changing 'bin/meld requirements=(... )'

Anyway, tried to build it (in the zone). ...
### Key here was to switch Python mediator which I am not sure I should 
do in GZ:

[2026-07-14 15:24:38] cd tmp/SFW_build/
[2026-07-14 15:24:39] git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld.git

[2026-07-14 15:25:39] pfexec pkg set-mediator -v -V 3.14 python
cd meld/
[2026-07-14 15:28:43] pfexec pkg install -v pkg://openindiana.org/ 2331 
[2026-07-14 15:29:59] pfexec pkg install -v pkg:/library/desktop/gtk4
[2026-07-14 15:35:16] pkg install -v pkg:/library/desktop/gtksourceview-5
[2026-07-14 15:36:05] pkg install -v pkg:/library/desktop/libadwaita
[2026-07-14 15:37:44] pkg install -v pkg:/library/python/pygobject

And that is how far I got (for now)
