etc-proposals new home:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/etc-proposals/
ebuild and tarball are downloadable there. The fixed ebuild is commited to gentoo-sunrise and will probably soon be available in the overlay. |

Yes, that is it. I had not had a chance to update to 1.1 before your server died. I didn't feel like feeding the spammer lists to get it from your alternative download locations.
The only change will be the command assignment on line 36 to add the --gtk --fastexit options for -1.1. From the brief look I did at your code it looks like your code needs to run as root in order to save the files. This limits the ability for porthole to import your code to run it in it's gtk session. If you separate the actual file saving/deletion code from the rest of the interface, it would allow the gui portion to run as a user and only the save/delete portion needs to run as root. It would require you to open an additional dialog to get an su/sudo password or use an external one like you see I do in the plug-in code. The advantage would be for porthole or others to import your code, initiate a refresh and get feedback about status, update needs, etc..
I seldom run porthole as root anymore. usually only from time to time to check it still works and I didn't break anything. Take a look at porthole's backend/set_config.py and db/user_configs.py for how I do it. Also to make the plug-in more version adaptable, if you have a separate version file, it could be easily imported and automatically set the correct command options to run it without having to release a new plug-in version when things change.
example
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/env python
""" file etc-proposals/version.py"""
version = "1.1"
|
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/env python
""" file etc-proposals/plugin.py"""
from version import version
# list the basic command to run as an external app
plugin_command = "etc-proposals"
# a dictionary of selectable runtime options and explanations
options_dict = {
"gtk": "runs it with the gtk frontend",
"curses": "runs it with the curses frontend",
"qt": "runs it with the qt frontend"
"fastexit": "tells it to automatically exit if no files were found that need updating"
}
options_commands = {
"gtk": " --gtk",
"curses": " --curses",
"qt": " --qt",
"fastexit": " --fastexit"
}
su_required = True
|
Then in a porthole's plugin it could be imported and add the options to it's configuration dialog for a user to configure their preferences. As your program evolves, the plug-in is automatically updated and ready to go without needing updating. That would allow porthole/portato, etc. to run with whichever interface and options the user desires. Yes, porthole does have kde/qt users that would prefer to run it in their native environment.

Yes, I was pondering about that already as I saw the run_as_root/run_as_user functions.
As for the automatic configuration from the plugin: sounds good. |

Hi,
i removed the berkley-db support out of python (disabled berkdb-flag) - and now etc-proposals fails to start, if there are config files to update

I don't know, whether this is a python bug - or if etc-proposals should state that it needs python to be built with berkdb-support enabled

Does this still happens if you move/rename /var/state/etcproposals.state?
anydb uses the best DB-engine it finds, thus your old statefile was created with bsddb as it was available. When you have a statefile created after you removed bsddb-support should use another db-engine and work as expected. If all else fails it will use the dumpdbm engine.
So as long as you dont _change_ USE-Flags it will work. |

dol-sen,
Running as non-root is not that simple to implement in a secure way. I added the boolean etcproposals.etcproposals_info.MUST_RUN_AS_ROOT which will be true until I find a secure way to implement it.
Best Regards,
Björn |

Ok, Qt4 Testers wanted!
If you are interested, please test the current version in svn:
- assure you have this in your /etc/make.conf (you usually have):
| Code: | PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles
|
- assure you have this in /etc/portage/package.keywords:
| Code: | app-portage/etcproposals
dev-python/PyQt4
dev-python/sip
|
all you need to do then is:
| Code: | mkdir etcproposals-checkout
cd etcproposals-checkout
svn co https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/etc-proposals/trunk .
sudo bash install.sh |

It's worth pointing out you also need:
| Code: | sudo echo dev-python/PyQt4 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
sudo echo dev-python/sip >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
I'm emerging it now, and thanks again :) |

Not really. There is no file to download yet (it will soon be realeased as etcproposals-1.2), but the install.sh generates the tarball and copies it to /usr/portage/distfiles, so portage shouldnt try to download anything. do you have the tarball in DISTDIR? Do you have it in etcproposals-checkout/etcproposals-1.1.9999.tar.gz ? |

A few things that are better with the etc-proposals commandline:
- you dont have to use/zap a whole file, but you can use/zap changes on a change-by-change-basis (e.g. "use the new comment in lines 50-55, but dont change my custom settings on line 2-3")
- colored diffs with hints
- you can use/zap all files in a dir (even recursive)
- etc-proposals recognizes cvs-header changes, whitespace only changes. Dispatch-conf does this too, but only if the file has _only_ cvs-header/whitespace changes. With etc-proposals you can use all updated cvs-headers automatically and independant from that decide what to do with the other changes in the file.
- etc-proposals recognises config files that are unmodified by the user. Those can be updated with one simple command or even automatically.
- when you make a decision, its not immediatly merged to the filesystem. No more "Upps, I didnt mean to wipe _that_ file". You first decide want to do with each change and merge everything in one step at the end.
- you can review all decisions, changes and files at any time
(btw, if you dont care about the GUI its really easy because 1.1 is already in sunrise and the svn version has most of its improvements in the GUI parts only) |

Turns out I needed to run ebuild .. digest. I'd originally run manifest when I first got an error (something about the manifest files.)
But it's working now, and the new frontend looks great. |

This comes when I start etc-proposals. It does not matter, which useflags I have installed and it also does not matter, which Frontends I activated in /etc/etc-proposals.conf.

Yuck! My bad.
Fixed in version 1.2.1 (already released and submitted to sunrise).
If you want a fast fix, substitute "FrontendFailedException" with "Exception" in etcproposals_info.py. |

kde-config does not seem to be in you $PATH, but since you have kde installed it should.

I dont have kde installed (only kdelibs) ... and kde-config is really not in my path Oo ... at least not as root. ... Hmm ... fixed this by taking "su -" instead of "su"
