#   packagemanager stack apps --run
#
# Programs you open, not the desktop they open on.  Run it AFTER sway.stack:
# they need GTK and wayland from it, and nothing there needs them.  They
# were the tail of sway.stack until 1.14.320.

# VIEWERS: a document one and an image one.  Neither is in the BLFS book.
#
# CHECKED with git ls-remote, all four at once: girara, zathura and
# zathura-pdf-poppler share the release tag **2026.07.18** (they are one
# project, released together -- mixing tags is the usual way to get a
# zathura that cannot open a PDF), and imv's newest is **v4.3.0**.
# imv's repo answers on both github.com/exec64/imv and .../eXeC64/imv; the
# lowercase spelling is used here.
#
# zathura is THREE packages: girara is its widget library, the core opens no
# file formats at all, and the backend is a separate plugin.  A zathura with
# no plugin starts, shows a grey window and says nothing -- which is what
# the expect= below is for: it looks for the PLUGIN, not the binary.
#
# poppler (the backend's dependency) is a book page.  It was in avoid.stack
# as libcupsfilters' child; it is wanted now.  mupdf stays avoided -- it is
# the other backend and one is enough.

# girara installs **girara.pc**, not girara-gtk3.pc: its meson.build says
# `pkg.generate(name: 'girara', ...)`.  The old guess made the stack refuse
# to record a girara that had installed perfectly -- "finished, but
# /usr/lib/pkgconfig/girara-gtk3.pc is still missing", which is the have=
# check doing its job on a wrong have=.

# xxHash, BEFORE zathura.  Mentioned eight times in the BLFS book and given
# no page of its own, so this entry is ours.
#
# zathura 2026.07.18 takes it as a hard dependency:
#     Run-time dependency libxxhash found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
#     meson.build:57:9: ERROR: Dependency "libxxhash" not found
#
# CHECKED in the checkout: newest tag v0.8.3; it ships libxxhash.pc.in, so
# the pkg-config module really is `libxxhash` -- the name meson asks for --
# and `make install` runs install_libxxhash.pc among its targets.  A plain
# Makefile, no cmake or meson: PREFIX and LIBDIR are what it takes.

# NO -Dsqlite: zathura has no such option.  Its meson.build takes sqlite as
# an unconditional dependency -- `dependency('sqlite3', version: '>=3.35.0')`
# -- and its only options are synctex, seccomp, landlock, manpages,
# tests-x11, tests-wayland and convert-icon.  `-Dsqlite=enabled` stopped
# meson dead with `Unknown option: "sqlite"`, which is what guessing an
# option name earns.  sqlite3 is already installed here (p_sqlite).

# imv: wayland image viewer.  The binary is `imv`, which dispatches to
# imv-wayland or imv-x11 -- so the probe wants the wayland one, or on this
# machine it would pass on an imv that can only open windows under X.
# -licuuc: imv links libicuio and CALLS libicuuc (ubrk_close), and its
# link line carries -Wl,--no-undefined, so the indirect dependency is an
# error rather than a warning:
#     undefined reference to symbol 'ubrk_close_78'
#     /lib/libicuuc.so.78: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
# icu splits its API across libicuuc (common), libicui18n and libicuio;
# imv's meson names only the one it uses directly.  Naming the other on the
# link line is the whole fix -- nothing is patched.

# GPARTED -- partitions, with a window.  It is a BLFS page (Gparted-1.7.0),
# so the planner brings gtkmm3 and parted with it; both are C++/GTK builds
# and this is not a five-minute entry.
#
# IT RUNS AS ROOT, FROM A TERMINAL.  The book's page uses polkit for the
# graphical "type your password" step, and polkit is in avoid.stack (it
# arrives only through colord and systemd, which this machine does not
# have).  Without it there is no menu entry that can ask: start it from a
# root shell.  `gparted` alone then works; it needs $DISPLAY/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY,
# so run it from a terminal inside the session.
#
# The partition TOOLS it drives are separate packages -- exfatprogs and
# btrfs-progs are in services.stack; what is missing shows up greyed out in
# gparted's filesystem menu, not as an error.
# LVM2 IS NOT PART OF A PARTITION EDITOR.  The book RECOMMENDS it for
# parted, so the planner pulls it in -- and on this machine, which has no
# logical volumes, it is an hour of build and a package whose install wants
# root (13.0's page puts `mount -o remount,dev /tmp` in the middle of it).
# ignore= keeps it out of this entry's plan only; install it deliberately
# the day this laptop grows an LVM volume:
#     packagemanager install lvm2 --run --recursive
