Used the gtksourceview to fix gedit and everything went fine.
I just have to say the new panel rocks! Cant wait for gnome-2.4!!

only thing I need now is OpenOffice in GTK2 and coaster to make a stable release of their CD burner app. oh and the ability to make my window title bar slimmer would be nice (I can't set font size, the option is greyed out in the nice GUI - but I guess that's how to do it) - because Bluecurve is a tad to big for my liking.

First off thanks for the ebuilds

Having successfully emerged 2.3.1 I now cannot change the icons on my panel (I just get the following error)

Lovechild · Posted: Wed May 21, 2003 9:26 am Post subject:

I already have ebuilds for:

gnome-panel-2.3.2
gnome-session-2.3.2
gnome-desktop-2.3.2
bug-buddy-2.3.1

Since their tarballs have been released - been running these packages since yesterday evening and they are just fine for me. I'll see if I can make gnome-panel compile within the sandbox this time.

-edit-
also should I release a patched version of gtk2 with this patch?
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-May/msg00871.html

and what about the springloaded folder patch - if it still applies to nautilus or can be fixed to do so is there a demand for it?

-edit-

here's the list of GNOME 2.4 specific bugs so far

I'll just do a quick release at first to allow everyone to test it out - and then clean up the builds a bit and take care of dependencies and such in a -r1 release.

I will just mail them to Lin-Matt for mirroring, and of course start a new thread. Remember I'm not a proper ebuild maintainer, I have no real knowledge of the GNOME codebase, so if something breaks just keep in mind that this is a development platform released by an insane indiviual and compiled by you - when you install this you loose every right to complain, and not only to me, to bugs.gentoo.org as well - don't complain about related matters either, unless you are 2000% sure it has nothing to do with the new GNOME.

The Gentoo devs WILL NOT accept bugs for these kinds of ebuilds and they are NOT supported by them at all.

It seems that Nautilus will be a bit late this time around maybe, the developers have changed the way your desktop is handled in a rather radical manner and it has resulted in a flamewar of a sort it seems - give them a few days.
oh and if you or your machine catches fire, etc... I'm not to blame.

-edit-

Great, ebuilds for gedit 2.3.2 and gtksourceview 0.2.1 are ready as the packages has been announced, but the sources are not yet available on the ftp server - so not tested yet.

Sweet!! I just finished compiling 2.3.1 like two days ago, and Im still in love with it.. I cant believe how flipping fast these gnome packages are coming out lately?!?! Has someone been putting morphene in the drinking water again? Whatever is going on I just hope it doesnt let up because Im loving it!! :twisted:

So the ebuilds are on breakmygentoo i guess?
Oh and by the way, if spring-loaded can cleanly apply to nautilus and also that new gtk2 drop-shadow patch then I say DEFFINITLY put them in!!
W00t!!!

/me gives lovechild a pat on the back for a job well done..

Don't thank me yet, I won't put anything out till gnome 2.3.2 is announced, but the packages are dropped out of sync - unlike KDE where everything is at once. so I can test the various things now and worry later.

btw, I have the new gtk dropshadow patch installed now - it took a few tries to make it compile for some reason - had to drop the metacity speed up patch in gtk2.2.1 - which by any rate might be uninteresting with gtk 2.2.2 coming out next week (or there about) It's goddamn beautiful btw.

gnome-panel still won't comply and build inside the darn sandbox - a more radical approach might be needed. I'll rewrite the damn ebuild if I have to - compile it must.

Springloaded folder patch also applies, but with MAJOR fussiness - so this might need to be reworked a bit to match the new sources better.

After reading that thread on the nautilus debate I gotta agree with lovechild on this one... Besides, in the grand scheme of things the Matrix is far more important!

I thought it was already in ~/Desktop (it is on ere anyway)

I _REALLY_ want my gnome desktop to be ${HOME} - it seems logical for me (I'm a big fan of logic it seems). but if I get a GCONF key to set it, I'm fine with ~/Desktop for the 2.4 release, so applications get a change to change behavior. But I really do think it would be easier for the user if it was ${HOME}, but it looks like a lot of work.

Alan Cox actually pointed out a very important point - /Desktop needs be used with caution. because it might lead to hardlinking, and that would be bad for internationalization (long word, I hope I got it right

) - fx. in my country people might prefer /Skrivebord since that would be the correct name for it.

Yes, a gconf key is almost necessary at this point. I would not want Nautilus to draw all 444 of my folders in $HOME on my desktop everytime it went to draw, not even the first time....no, no....I like a clean desktop, a few icons in the panel, and then nautilus there if I need it. I like simplicity, and 444 folders on the desktop isn't going to cut it. Perhaps the best thing to do at this point is ~/Desktop, and to answer the deal about hardlinking, you can always make a softlink from ~/Desktop to ~/Skrivebord, effectively elminating the problem
