gramps

Trevor,

This is actually quite easy to do. Your friend can use an existing web
page as his/her template.

Just place two HTML comment tags in an existing web page:

<!--START-->
<!--STOP-->

GRAMPS will replace all text between those two tags with its own report
information.

Once you have done this, in the Web Page report form, select "User
Defined Template", and use the "User Template" file selector to choose
the HTML page you modified with the comment tags.

Do you have a link handy, where one can download the source for the above 
required dependend rpm?  It seems not available as rpm on suse :(

This may be included in the python-gnome package. Every distribution
packages things differently. Mandrake and RedHat separate things into
subpackages.

To make sure this works, run python and check to see if this works:

$ python
>>> import gnome.vfs

If this works, the everything is packaged in python-gnome.

Has anyone been able to download this release from any
of the sites?

All mirror sites I've tried say it not on that site.
0.98 is the letest showing on all the download sites.

It seems to be there indeed:
richard:~> rpm -ql python-gnome | grep vfs
/opt/gnome/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libpythonmethod.so

I assume you're talking about debian unstable.

The package should appear in unstable later today,
if not then tomorrow.

I'll check after the unstable pool is updated today and
send another message to gramps-users to confirm
whether 0.99.0 is in unstable.

If you were talking about SuSE, the package is being built
at the moment. Again, further notice will be sent when it
is ready.

Thanks,
Alex

My guess is that the latest MS virus has brought the net to its knees.
The mailing lists are running slow, sourceforge is running slow, etc.

Hopefully it will get to the mirror sites soon.

I couldn't get it from a mirror but had no trouble downloading from cvs.

Marlaina,

I did a bit of searching on Google, and it seems that this problem can
occur after upgrading from GNOME 1 to GNOME 2. The problem isn't GRAMPS
specific, in fact, it seems to be much more common with nautilus than
anything else.

The most common suggestion is to delete the .gconfd directory. I would
recommend completely logging out, logging in as root, and deleting the
.gconfd directory in your home directory.

Once you've done that, restart the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)

If this still doesn't work, contact me again, and we'll try a few other
things.

Well, Don, I don't know what that did but it sure fixed my problem! 
Thanks so much for the help.  I really like the updated gramps that goes
with gnome 2.  I usually use KDE and when I logged into gnome I got a
mess of error mssgs that went away after I followed your instructions. 
I did have some problems with Nautilus and a few other programs with the
upgrade as you pointed out. 

With appreciation,
Marlaina Barr

I might be wrong, but I don't think you can produce deb package
without having to worry about debian/ and files under it.

That being said, it's not that hard. You can take a look at the deb
of 0.98.0.

On the other hand, why would you want to make a deb while you
can just do
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make clean
$ make
# make install

and have the whole thing ready under /usr/local ?

Just so I know witch programs I have installed at any given moment, in one 
centralised tool. If it has been installed as a deb, I can use dpkg to get a 
summary of the systems installed packages. (Updates, removes a.s.f.)

It's not hard to remember 1 or 2 programs like this, but if I get 10+ I tend 
to forget allot of them....

You can't take damsel here now.

Sorry if this is a repeat. Comcast was toying with my email today.

About a week ago, we announced that the GRAMPS project was accepting
donations at Sourceforge to be used to fund a bounty program to
encourage the development of new features. Since then, GRAMPS has
received several donations. That means that it is time to start making
proposals for bounty projects.

We intend this to be user driven, so we are looking to the users for
suggestions. Ideally, these should be self-contained tasks that aren't
tied to the core of GRAMPS. This would include things such as import and
export filters, reports, document formats, and similar tasks. Something
like "integrate a full database backend" is a bit more work than what we
would expect the bounty program to handle (and don't worry, the core
development team will take care of this one).

Some possible ideas, just to get things rolling, would include:

1) GEDCOM 6.0 import/export
2) GNOME Print integration to provide direct printing and print
   preview
3) New or enhanced reports
4) Graphical report formats for RTF and/or KWord
5) Enhanced font handling

How about a report that prints out all persons in the database. I used
this a few times when I used to use FTM for Windows in order to show
family members how everyone connects

I'll look at that.

This is being worked on as we speak. This bug just has been found=20
a day ago. Everything should work under English locale, so either
switch to English to create the filter and export your gedcom, or=20
hold on for two more weeks until 1.0 gets released. The 1.0 should
have this problem fixed.

This should be fixed in CVS and in upcoming 1.0 release.
