Elogviewer, a python/gtk graphical elog viewer

[wpetya]

i havent been able to download it.. all i get is a bunch of text.. lot of crap from the download link http://www.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~laurin/elogviewer

That's it, the buch of text is the program.

[framirez]

ok i guess wget will help with that then.. ... my bad jeje

@jeremy_z Just installed kelogviewer, very nice. If I were artistic, I'd create a icon to go with it.

Jeremy_Z:
Hi all, nice work synss.
I ported your app to PyKDE for those who can't use gtk in their kde environment.

I'm having a few issues with the program.

1. I downloaded it, and unpacked it, but where on the system is it best to put it? Currently it's sitting in my downloads directory which I feel is probably not the right place...)

2. I am running kde, and have kde-base (and other things) installed, but I get this error when I try to run kelogviewer:

Code: Select all

localhost ~/Downloads $ ./kelogviewer

        Kelogviewer requires pykde and portage 2.1.
        Vous n'avez pas installe pykde.

        emerge pykde

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./kelogviewer", line 14, in ?
    from qt import QVBox, QHBox, QPopupMenu, SIGNAL, PYSIGNAL, QListView, QButtonGroup, QCheckBox, QColor, QIconSet, QPixmap, QLabel, QPushButton, QSplitter, QString, QListViewItemIterator, Qt
ImportError: No module named qt

Considering I'm running KDE, I'd better have qt, but maybe it's something to do w/ pykde... So I tried emerging pykde, even though I thought it was part of kde, and got:

Code: Select all

localhost ~ # emerge -uDaNv pykde

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies

!!! The short ebuild name "pykde" is ambiguous.  Please specify
!!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead:

    dev-python/pykde
    kde-base/pykde

So which one is right, and which do I emerge?

Any other "gotcha's" I need to watch out for?

Thanks,

Gooserider

[marcalj]

This program will be integrated in Kuroo?

I would like to have one program for all emerge purposes.

Thanks.

thanks it works great.

I have updated the script of uweklosa. Added the option of moving files to an archive folder or a to-do folder (in case the elog says something like: "please do revdep-rebuild", but you have to postpone that to a later moment). Both folders have to be created manually first in your portage elog folder. Also added some nice (and hopefully functional) colours.

I am not a shell-guru so this script now has the limitation that you first have to cd to your portage folder since it works relative from there.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# This is a script to read portage log items from einfo, ewarn etc, new in the
# portage-2.1 series.

Thanks for that. I've been thinking about these things, too. But I had not the time to implement them.

Hi,

I've tried to execute elogviewer (which is in the /dir/to/elog/ with USERID 'root' and GUID 'portage') but here is the error I've got :

/usr/bin/env: python try: import pygtk except: print """ Elogviewer: No such files or directory

pygtk is installed, but seems not to be responding correctly... help

[V-Li]

Just wanted to tell that the ebuild from the bug (request for inclusion of elogviewer) has been introduced to Gentoo Sunrise Overlay, where you can easily call it (see http://www.gentoo-sunrise.org/sunrise). I wrote a man page for it and the ebuild gives some additional infos how to operate Elogviewer correctly. A reaction from the original author would be nice, as there are some unsettled issues...for example proper copyright advice and a logo if possible (only artwork, I can update the ebuild accordingly).

[roderick]

Bump...

Has anyone submitted a bug to have this added to portage?

Great app.

[V-Li]

Sure, there is [bug=136496]one[/bug]. I am on my way becoming a developer, I would happily add it to the tree, but when it is not supported anymore by the original author, I am not willing to bring it in and let it rot.

I'd consider becoming a maintainer if possible.

[V-Li]

I wrote an email, I asked for reaction, on the bug...and the author did not say a word, so I consider the software dead upstream. You can take it you want.

[synss]

hello everybody, I am back and I will try to correct the bugs ASAP (you all know there is also another life possible, don't you? )

Thank you for the support too, it is very encouraging.

And my web account (at work actually) will be cancelled at the end of the month, so I have no web space anymore and the planned updates will only be available from bugzilla, that is the easiest for me. In other words, the ebuild will not work anymore, unless you download the archive first to your distfile directory and then run the ebuild.

For all of you not knowing where to put it, I would recommend either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin/ these places only make sense! http://www.linux.com/guides/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/ (/usr/local/bin/ for a direct download and /usr/bin/ for an ebuild installation) although it should not matter as long as it is in the path.

I do not promise being fast, as I have to start a new job in a new country (moving from Germany to Japan) but I will print the code and start working on it (like having that DEL-key deleting files) soon.

and it is distributed under the GPL-2 and above.

thank you again...

[V-Li]

Thank you. So I can add it to Portage in November (I will have commit access then), everybody else should use Sunrise Overlay which is an official Gentoo Project. All other issues have been addressed by me (either in ebuild and the added man page). Add it to Sourceforge, if you want a permanent download location.

[toralf]

Download

The suffix ".py" onto the filename would make the download process smarter.

[synss]

Download

The suffix ".py" onto the filename would make the download process smarter.

I realize that, but it is a bit late for changing the name (actually I have already changed it from el-something.py to elogviewer in the begining) and this account will be cancelled soon anyway (and the link, dead), so for actual updates, please go to the bugzilla link.

I will open a sourceforge.net account.

[V-Li]

Some status update:

eread -- The bash script by dberkholz has been reworked and will be added to gentoolkit
elogviewer -- A GTK frontend. The request is handled in [bug=136496]#136496[/bug] and has been added to Project Sunrise Overlay, app-portage/elogviewer. It is planned to add a Sourceforge Project for this, where even kelogviewer can find its home.
kelogviewer -- A KDE frontend. The request is handled in [bug=150768]#150768[/bug] and has been added to Sunrise Overlay, app-portage/kelogviewer. Needs a decent versioning, I contacted the author
elogv -- A curses frontend (text mode). The request is handled in [bug=150733]#150733[/bug] and has been added to Sunrise Overlay, app-portage/elogv.

I will bring them into official Portage as soon as I can.

[FuzzyRay]

eread -- The bash script by dberkholz has been reworked and will be added to gentoolkit

eread has been included in gentoolkit-0.2.3_pre2

Hi, it has been a long time. Well i did not have much time to think about the hosting on source forge yet.

synss, good to hear from you too, i will reply to your MP in a minute.

I'm having a few issues with the program.

1. I downloaded it, and unpacked it, but where on the system is it best to put it? Currently it's sitting in my downloads directory which I feel is probably not the right place...)

Well anywhere is ok, but you would want to put it somewhere included in your PATH (such as /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin ...)

2. I am running kde, and have kde-base (and other things) installed, but I get this error when I try to run kelogviewer:

kelogviewer works great with that.

[Jeremy_Z]

Thanks for the feedback, i am out of town this week end so i could not make the test yet.
synss got he sourceforg thing so i guess we will have both projects hosted by neek week, that should help for the ebuilds ( i am still surprised that the phpnet site is still up )

Anyway, it looks like we are both busy so if anyone would like help as a dev give us a PM. The code is quite trivial so it is not much work but after the sourceforge hosting and the ebuilds becoming more popular i guess we could use a hand with bugs/feature requests.
