 Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 1:50 am Post subject: [SOLVED] New E17 stable and ecomorph ? |
 |
|
I installed the new enlightenment E17 window manager (emerge -av enlightenment:0.17).
It is just great and I would like to know if I can use ecomorph with it ?
And if yes, where do I find it ?
The only place I found it is in the "enlightenment" overlay, but I would have to install the enlightenment-9999 from the overlay since ecomorph-9999 depend on enlightenment-9999.
| Code: | r2d2 package.mask # emerge -av x11-plugins/ecomorph x11-wm/ecomp
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N #] x11-wm/ecomp-9999::enlightenment USE="inotify jpeg nls -doc -static-libs" 0 kB
[ebuild U #] x11-wm/enlightenment-9999:0.17/0.17::enlightenment [0.17.0:0.17/0.17.0::gentoo] USE="nls pam spell udev -doc -static-libs -ukit (-emotion%)" ENLIGHTENMENT_MODULES="backlight battery clock conf-applications conf-comp%* conf-dialogs conf-display conf-edgebindings conf-interaction conf-intl conf-keybindings conf-menus conf-paths conf-performance conf-randr conf-shelves conf-theme conf-wallpaper2%* conf-window-manipulation conf-window-remembers connman cpufreq dropshadow everything fileman fileman-opinfo gadman ibar ibox illume2 mixer msgbus notification pager quickaccess shot start syscon systray tasks temperature tiling winlist wizard xkbswitch -access -physics% (-comp%*)" 0 kB
[ebuild N *] x11-plugins/ecomorph-9999::enlightenment USE="nls -doc -static-libs" 0 kB
Total: 3 packages (1 upgrade, 2 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
#required by @e17, required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
=x11-wm/enlightenment-9999 **
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
#required by x11-wm/ecomp (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask/e17.mask:
=x11-wm/ecomp-9999
#required by @e17, required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
# /var/lib/layman/enlightenment/profiles/package.mask:
# Thomas Sachau <tommy@gentoo.org> (02 Dec 2012)
# Masking live ebuilds, which are broken by upstream
# moves/changes or have broken dependencies
# use the released versions instead
=x11-wm/enlightenment-9999
NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.
Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.
r2d2 package.mask #

Do I have to use the hole E17 from an overlay with ecomorph from the same overlay ?
Or is it possible to get it from a regular package from gentoo ???
Puzzled! 
Regards,
BT

afaik ecomorph is WAAAY out of sync w/e since it stopped being updated quite awhile back. ecomorph requires its own modified e src so the two were a matched set, sort of like a fork. you could still run it but you'd be going quite a ways backwards in e releases to do so.
e has been adding its own fairly rudimentary compositing with the "comp" module for things like transparency, shadows, etc. and in svn they have "comp-scale" which can do some basic window/screen tricks (I always build from src so maybe there are ebuilds for that, don't know).
it pales in comparison to ecomorph imm but it's the best there is atm. |

Actually, it is far from "fairly rudimentary". The problem is that the effects you need have to be customized in the theme - the theme for the comp module. You should be able to do quite arbitrary stuff with it, but no one has spent time in doing so.

Thank for the info, I won't try ecomorph for the moment.
I will read stuff about themes to see how it works before doing anything.
