Hi all, I suddenly received today this scary message from my emerge --sync:
| Code: | !!! The following installed packages are masked:
- rox-base/zeroinstall-injector-1.11::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/var/system_data/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Manuel Rüger <mrueg@gentoo.org> (17 Jan 2015)
# Unmaintained. Old eclasses, EAPIs and various bugs.
# See bug #533642
# Removal in 30 days.
- rox-base/rox-lib-2.0.6::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- rox-base/rox-2.10::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- rox-base/thumbs-0.1.4::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- rox-extra/archive-2.3::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
- rox-base/mime-editor-0.6::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
I've been using rox as a filemanager for almost an eternity (for informatics anyway). Do you know any filemanager that have similar features to rox-filer?
The most useful feature that I don't want to renounce to is the highlighting (by representing with bold characters) of recently modified files or directories. It's something I never experienced with other file managers.
Can you recomend me another file manager with a similar feature?
Thanks

Probably should file a warning bug or reply to that bug saying that it would end up blocking rox-lib and might well remove the rest of rox.
Need someone to fix rox, I suppose, but it looks like it's been left for the dead.
I do wonder what do you mean "recently modified" - does it highlight those changed in the last day/week/hour/minute/???
While I don't recall seeing such feature I suspect most of the modern file managers expect you to sort by modification date... yeah unfortunately not the same thing but in theory it should help do the same thing.
Alas looks like another piece of software that's heading towards the bit bucket, which is a pity as it is one of the udisks-free filemanagers out there. Alas now I'm just using the udisks file managers (thunar, nautilus), it's more fun to use when dealing with a GUI and removable media...

Yes with most file managers you can sort items by modification date. With rox files modified in the last minutes would be shown with bold characters, thus allowing one to realize that a modification took place in the first place. It's a simple but incredibly useful thing, for some people.
In some cases it's handy, in order to realize that something was modified, or created, or just to track an ongoing process writing to new files (helps visually separating new files from older entries). I make heavily use of this last feature.
I didn't realize rox project was unmantained. Bad news for gentoo indeed (every ebuild less in the tree is a loss for everyone).

My entire workflow is centered around rox filer and its panel. 
A few months ago I converted my wife's "desktop" to fluxbox with rox filer and its panel and slowly accustomed her to using its features. 
I'll probably add rox to my local overlay and "maintain" it myself. I also use rox as my desktop in FreeBSD.
I don't know any file manager that has similar features. Rox is the most Finder-like file manager I've found under Linux/BSD and despite being unchanged upstream for a long time it still works perfectly because gtk2 still supports it perfectly. It should continue working perfectly until gtk2 dies. Removing it from the portage tree seems like an extreme measure.
One nice feature in Rox filer is it handles auto-mounting and unmounting by honoring the mount points listed in fstab. e.g. I have a mount point listed in fstab for the Backups directory on my local file server. The only auto-mounting / unmounting infrastructure I need for accessing Backups is the file system itself and rox filer. Click on the Backups directory and rox mounts the nfs share. Close the last file manager window on any rox-mounted filesystem and rox asks if you want to {unmount it, eject it, leave it mounted}. The same simplicity handles my pen drives, mp3 player, extra partitions, dvd drive, and camera card reader. I'm also a heavy user of rox filer's mini-buffer. I can accomplish any operation on a file/directory/document/application/device without lifting my hands from the keyboard or using anything other than rox filer. THAT is what I can't do in any other file manager. Maybe the Unity and Gnome shells offer a similar keyboard-driven workflow, but I don't fall in love with their file managers. 
The only other acceptable file managers for me under Linux are Dolphin, which of course requires a lot of KDE infrastructure, or app-misc/ranger in an xterm. A minimal KDE with Dolphin/Plasma-panel seems to be the best alternative. I'm shocked that anyone would have written a new file manager in the past decade without preserving the great features that have been available in rox filer all along. |

I'm in the same position too: I have used Rox-Filer for 10 years as file manager and as desktop integrated with openbox and there is no file manager that works similar to it. (I've take a look at x11-misc/rodent that is keyboard driven but it looks like ugly)
In reality, it's not the ROX project that is not maintained anymore but the corresponding ebuilds that still use old EAPI.
ROX don't have any evolution for several years but it's rock stable so the actual problem is only because there is no maintainer for rox ebuilds !

If the upstream is stable someone might volunteer to pick it up or at least set up an overlay maybe? It seems popular enough among Gentooers if this many people replied.
I guess more of us need to roll up our sleeves and become developers. |

Someone recommended in another thread Which DE / Window Manager Do You Use? that we look at emelfm as an alternative to rox. It has a good User Guide that will give enough info to decide if emelfm is a good fit for you. I gave it a brief look recently, found I was hard-wired differently than Orthodox file managers assume, but I'll try it again more extensively.
I realize that rox is being dropped because the Gentoo developers are "cleaning" the portage tree to support only newer EAPIs. I had looked into the idea of supporting Gentoo ebuilds myself, and do have a couple of my own in my local overlay, but I was so turned off by the complexity of portage ebuilds and EAPIs -- well, that's when I decided to start migrating back to FreeBSD and the original make-based "ports" system. |

emelfm is good but it does not support the tab concept and it won't in the future. I can't think an orthodox file manager that does not support tabbing. Anyway I recommend "spacefm" since it support tabs and have all the features being an orthodox file manager.
Sad to see rox being dropped. I remember the similar file manager "nao" which was my favourite that was abandoned by upstream. I still miss it.
If it was just a maintainer needed, I would maintain rox. But unfortunately I am not a gentoo dev.

franzf, thanks for pointing out.
Let me check. if rox is not abandoned by upstream, I may apply.

That would be fantastic.
If you need help I can contribute, even if only part-time. I never really started to understand gentoo EAPI system, so I'm almost ignorant of all the stuff on portage background.

Long time Gentoo user, but not active at the Forum. My knowledge on programming is quite limited, but if there is something I can do to keep ROX alive, please, tell me. I'm willing to cooperate.  |

For users of rox-filer only, at least these ebuilds are IMHO to be preserved:
| Code: | rox-base/rox
rox-base/rox-lib
rox-base/mime-editor
rox-base/thumbs
rox-base/zeroinstall-injector |
I would add also:
If we make a list of important packages we can try to ask the developers to drop support only for rox desktop, and preserve somehow these few ebuilds (i guess that updating EAPI of those 5-6 ebuilds is relatively quick)

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. Why did you post that rox ebuild here on the forum?
Anyway, I asked here on bugzilla and it seems they are open to new maitainers:

Of course to share an ebuild that isn't available in portage. It's still a gentoo user forum .

Devs say that the following things are to be done in order to keep at least rox-filer in the tree
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533642
| Quote: | rox-base/rox: check bug #500502 and bug # 309875, update to EAPI5, either maintain rox-extra/videothumbnail, too or remove IUSE="video".
rox-base/rox-lib: migrate from 'python' to 'python-r1 / python-single-r1 / python-any-r1', update to EAPI5.
rox-base/mime-editor: update to EAPI5.
rox-base/thumbs: update to EAPI5.
rox-base/zeroinstall-injector: migrate from 'distutils' to 'distutils-r1'.
rox-extra/archive: update to EAPI5.
In addition to those ebuilds, we have also deprecated eclasses for rox: rox.eclass and rox-0install.eclass.
Thus we need someone who is willing to maintain them, too. |
I don't know if I have the time to do all those things (I'm starting a new work in February, I still don't know how much of my free time it will consume). If someone is willing we could team up, try to tackle the above issues and become proxy-maintainers.
Is anyone willing to do so? I fear that if alone I'll give up and simply preserve a local overlay for rox-filer.

Yes! That's what I'm looking for. That is a rather nice ebuild for rox. I renamed it as rox-filer (since upstream tarball uses that name now) and updated to rox-filer-2.11. It installs very cleanly (no extraneous files, everything installed in proper standard locations) and is running well from my local overlay. It should be added to portage so I'll file a bug report for it (if you approve of having your ebuild used). Everyone should note that this new ebuild does not require zeroinstall (which was totally unnecessary), does not install odd files like the entire source code tree (which the gentoo 2.10-r1 ebuild does), and adds some missing mimetypes. I've compared it to my archlinux pkgbuild and to the old gentoo ebuild and it seems to be the best way to install rox that I've seen.
Thank you! |

Ok I tried your ebuild and everything seems ok. It removed all rox-base/* dependencies and now the problem is narrowed down to porting that ebuild to the most recent EAPI to get it accepted back into portage.
Since you are skilled in writing ebuilds, why don't you apply to become proxy-mainteiner for that ebuild?

Thank you for that reference. The ebuild in simple form was submitted as Bug Report 537388. If no one else wants to fix it up I'll improve it here where I have it running already and submit an improved version using dodir, dobin, dodoc, etc., as suggested by ppurka. |
