Hello

http://www.markus-jonsson.com/projects/genu/

I would like to announce a new portage frontend wich I wrote during the holidays.
It uses gnome and is written in mono/c#. The release is a development release
and I would love it if people tested it and gave me som response.

Screenshots, information, faq and download:
http://www.markus-jonsson.com/projects/genu/

Hope you will like it!

The shots are awesome, and i like that you made a frontend for the /etc/portage files. Great. Installing it soon, hope to see it in portage.

Looks good. I'll give it a shot later.

Any advantages or major differnces over porthole? (Just interested as I like porthole to search descriptions and find it easier searching portage with it than using the command line, nice to try a different gui).

Good job though :)

sorry to dissapoint you, but the search function is not implemented yet.

genu can be run by a normal user, you can browse the tree and select packages for installation and so on. you don't have to enter the root password until you actually emerge the packages. in a future version (couple of days, since I'm allready working on it) this means that you can be notified when new packages are available and so on.

genu is a little bit more dialog based than porthole, allthough there is a "manager" program (inspired by porthole and synaptic package manager (debian/ubuntu) ) planned too. that might take i while though, unless someone wants to help me, my time is limited.

Hey, no dissapointment here!

I like the normal user routine until actually emerging something.

Not a programmer so can't offer anything except moral support though :)

In fact id does use gtk, via gtk-sharp. All the widgets and dialogs which use gtk are packaged into gtk-portage.dll so that they can be used in other applications. But the main program, genu, uses gnome libraries.

I use gnome myself, so kde/qt was not an option, but there are qt bindings for mono/c# so you can use my portage-sharp.dll to write your own frontend.

Great to see another frontend..especially such a good looking one. Anyone installed it yet? I'd like to hear how it handles.

Why all the strange dependencies? most of what the website requires is ~x86 (gtk-sharp, mono 1.0.5, then that wants something else....even gcc 3.4. Not that I don't like ~x86 builds (I've got plenty of them installed), but so many in a row tends to make me nervous. Are those absolute minimum requirements or should I just bite the bullet and go ahead? Or (most likely) am I reading things wrong and just being an idiot?

a) your site seems to be down atm - dialup/dsl home server? (EDIT: nevermind, my DNS was borked)
b) how do you interface with portage? (don't know which functions are implemented yet so this question might not be relevant)

Great to get some feedback!

CitizenX:
Well, I have not tested with mono 0.28, but that one is really old. Mono will probably not get stable in portage until the 1.2 release, which comes Q2 this year.
gcc 3.4 ? I run gcc 3.3.5

Pythonhead:
I'll look into that one. Seems like it doesn't recognize some of your /ets/portage files ..

Genone:
Don't know if the server where down, but it's back up anyways. No it's a dedicated server.
It interfaces with portage by running the actual commands. I was afraid that it would be too much to maintain doing in another way, also I'm not sure how to do that.

Back again with a new version, GENU-0.2.2

Changes since 0.2:
* Replaced ugly code with regular expressions at
some places. Hopefully more reliable.
* Added a temporary support for packages that does not allow downloading.
* Support for the "installed" column is back..!
* Corrected some spelling mistakes.
* Made the SyncDialog and MergeDialog look different (hopefully better).
* Code looks better.
* Added warnings to EnvironmentDialog.

Think this should fix Pythonhead's problem

Its fixed in 0.2.2 and I updated the ebuild above.

It seems like every non-python portage utility runs into this problem at the beginning. I
think a C library that parses /etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/* files with bindings
in mono, ruby, perl etc would be nice.

Stupid question but where should I put that ebuild?

OH and by the way I didn't know C# supports regular expressions...that's pretty cool.

I hope you tell me if you run into problems, I really want this to work.

WladyX:
The "rm -f ../usr/bin/genu" line seems wierd..
what version of mono/gtk-sharp/gnome-sharp are you using?
have you tried to emerge multiple times?
I can't think of anything in the makefile that causes this.
Pythonhead, what do you think? something with the ebuild?

Thank you that worked. I copy and pasted the code from the above post. That is weird.

Now my problem is when I run genu it just says:

And nothing else. I tried running as a user and as root but I get the same results.

Oh and here is the the strace output

Does your window manager have a system-tray-like-thing? The app starts iconized or whatever the term is.

WladyX: does it install fine without the ebuild?

OK. I added the Gnome Notification Area and now I see it. Thank you.
