Path to GRDIR environment variable configuration

Open mkitti opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

We would eventually like to get back to a state where we can configure GR by just setting the GRDIR environment variable. This is not possible on some platforms since GR_jll eagerly loads its libraries.

  1. We need to pin GR_jll for the upcoming release, and possibly retroactively https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/pull/488

  2. We need a release of GR.jl containing the libpath fix https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/blob/dd3913dc824af287151c22b4ffc29f3df6b0ed54/src/preferences.jl#L61-L65

  3. We need to re-release the dont_dlopen patch to GR_jll https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/pull/5784

I think the easiest way to do this is a major version bump to 0.70 for at least GR_jll and possibly GR.jl
