Gnome 2.12 beta ebuilds anyone?

[Mala Zaba]

for iso-codes error, emerge pyxml-0.8.4

Its work for me...

[steevdave]

For iso-codes, I have updated the dependency to pyxml-0.8.4 as well. I haven't looked at the Thunderbird problem, as well, I've yet to get any version above 1.0.2 to save my rules properly on exiting.

[ARealNoobOne]

OK for the -mozsvg, my build is finished I'm gonna try it after dinner: I had very random crashes with mozsvg, could be OK for 3 or 4 hours then crash every 5 minutes for too much time for me to sustain...

Stable for now with -mozsvg, no more

Yes, thunderbird is crashing too... e.g. Tools/Message Filters : create a new rule, save it... and TB crashes when you click the button
=> remerge... even if there is no mozsvg flag

And stable here too, even if no mozsvg flag the rebuild did it good.

=> Must be some changes in headers or something like this, that make binaries inconsistent with new gtk+-2.7-x...

Another problem; i installed gnome-light meta package, an when i tried to emerge gnome metapackage, gal give me this error:

I use gnochm to view .chm files.

gnochm needs the gtkhtml2 module, which is in gnome-python-extras.

The overlay has dev-python/gnome-python-extras-2.11.3, with dependancies:

RDEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.3
>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.0
>=dev-libs/glib-2.6.0
>=dev-python/gnome-python-2.10.0

>=gnome-base/libgtop-2.9.5
>=gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner-2.9.4
>=app-text/gtkspell-2.0.0
media-video/totem
"

The last 2 deps drag a whole bunch of new packages:

[ebuild N ] app-text/gtkspell-2.0.11 -doc 339 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/iso-codes-0.47 -debug 3,597 kB [3]

If I comment them then i just get what I need : no additional packages get merged, emerge runs fine and build the gtkhtml2 python module for gnochm.

=> May be these last 2 deps should be conditonned by USE flags, the standard 'spell' and (package specific for now) 'totem' ?

BTW gtkhtml2 used to be in gnome-python, but the README file tells that at some point it was moved in gnome-python-extras. Of course I didn't RTFM and repeatedly tried to rebuild gnome-python, before noticing something was weird.

=> May be a clear warning could be output in gnome-python about this ?

I mean that in old package autoconf issued 2 clear messages 'packages that will be built' (libgnome, libgnome.ui, etc) and 'packages that will not be built', so you noticed quite fast the need forl gtkhtml use flag.

In new package there is just no message ('packages that will not be built' is empty).

Sure it is more an autoconf pb in gnome-python, but ebuild can be a place for an epatch line too...

Personally, I think it's retarded to promote a "spatially aware work environment" without the simple option of having each workspace appear differently.

I also use gnochm. The gtkspell/totem problem was debated when 2.10's ebuilds were put into portage, and the only real way to enable a flag, is to patch the configure[.ac] file[s]. If you wanna email me a patch, by all means I will do it. I realize that the gtkspell and totem aren't necessary for most people, but some people do want them in there, unfortunately.

The configure script has the text in there, I am not sure why it isn't printing which modules will and won't be built.

You are very welcome. I am glad people are trying them out.

[steevdave]

Don't cry! Gaim is one of those apps that is finicky when you change gtk+ versions on it. Re-emerge it, and it should work fine (I've been using gaim for quite a bit, no problems here other than my craptastical dialup connection) Some people have to re-emerge it, some don't. Seems you are one of the unfortunate ones that does

[SilverXXX]

i remerged gaim, but still crash.....

Hmm, strange. Gaim works fine here without recompiling or anything......

About Cairo+glitz rendering backend:

The http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/glitz page gives link http://www.cs.umu.se/~c99drn to the cairogears applications, to test cairo+glitz.

Sadly both cairogears and cairogear-cvs tarball are seriously outdated

Maybe a cairogears-cvs ebuild (a la e17 live cvs checkout) would be good addition ?

(Sorry CVS/SVN checkout is OK for me but I really must learn how to make an ebuild. Will have a look at the e17 ones, seems the better place for CVS ebuilds)

[steevdave]

If you want to write the ebuild for it, ill be willing to test it out, but as this is a Gnome 2.12 beta overlay, it mainly focuses on the requirements for Gnome 2.12, and I don't have the time to search down test applets.

I have a new quandry currently, the latest gnome-applets (2.11.91) has been released, and I'm not sure it requires it, but I know that it can use libnotify/notification-daemon. I have svn ebuilds for it, however, I would be willing to post up snapshots of them, if it is a requirement, so someone please test it and let me know?

I have a few ideas, firstly, pmount doesn't create devices. that is handled by udev/devfs (please use udev, devfs is getting deprecated and 2.6.13 it will be completely removed). As to mounting, well, that looks like you got a bad sync from me as I was working on the packages. Please update your hal ebuilds. hal 0.5.3 has problems, and has been pulled from the overlay (doesn't compile on amd64 - 0.5.4 does, however it is a cvs snapshot) Apparently, for mounting CDs and DVDs, --retain-privileges needs to be passed to hald, so I have updated the init.d script in the overlay. So, either grab the new tarballs, and (hopefully) I have it working correctly. Please let me know if it doesn't. You might want to re-emerge gnome-volume-manager as well.

[steevdave]

Also, the point of pmount is to not use fstab, though cd drives i believe ARE supposed to be in there.

Had the same issue.
Just copy (or link) nautilus-2.11.90-icon_view_gst.patch, then regenerate digest (or merge with FEATURES="-strict").

The pb is with {S} not pointing to the right place in src_compile. "ebuild compile" completes if I hardcode the path:

Code: Select all

src_compile() {

Sorry, I'm not an ebuild expert (yet . Things go smoothly when using "./configure make make install" so it's really an ebuild issue...

As Breakmygentoo, my solution is to comment out the patch line in the ebuild.

This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know if there's finally an integrated composite manager in Gnome 2.12? There isn't one in 2.10 at least (or I couldn't find it), yet most of the pictures of Gnome 2.12 seem to have dropshadows. It would be odd if it's just xcompmgr.
