Re: [ddccontrol-devel] several patches for ddccontrol

[William O. <gun...@gm...>]

Hello Stanislav,

Thank you for all the great work you've done!

There are currently 2 "active" developers on the project, but none of
us really have time to look at the code. We get quite a lot of monitor
support requests, but that's about it. So it's good for the project
when more experienced Linux users have a look at all the bits and
pieces that don't work perfectly.

As they say, every little detail counts.

If you are interested in becoming a developer/maintainer for
ddccontrol, we'll gladly accept your help.

Lately, we were trying to come up with a solution to (more or less)
automatically handle monitor support requests. As I said before, we
haven't really had time to think about it, but if you think of
something, feel free to let us know. Anyways, adding full support for
a monitor is quite a lot of work, and still needs documentation and
expertise.

Thank you again for your work, and keep it up if you can.

Cheers,
William

> Here are several patches from my experiments with ddccontrol:
> https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=ddccontrol&project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AContrib
>
> ddccontrol-selectable.patch: Makes texts in GUI selectable. User can cut and paste proposed commands from the GUI.
>
> ddccontrol-pc.patch: Adds a convenient pkg-config ddccontrol.pc file that simplifies linking of third party applications.
>
> ddccontrol-libexecdir.patch: Move some files to libexecdir. Fixes GNU coding standard conformance and path breakage on bi-arch platforms.
>
> ddccontrol-icon.patch: Fixes icon support (migrate from discontinued display-capplet icon, add icon to applet list, add icon to window title, fix installation failure if Bluecurve icon theme is not installed, update icon cache)
>
> gddccontrol.png, gddccontrol-bluecurve.png: Icons were incorrectly imported to the version system as text and they are corrupted. Please change its attribute to binary (if applicable) and replace them by a correct binary instance from older tarballs. I would prefer a different icon (monitor+connector), but I am not an artist.
>
> ddccontrol-desktop.patch: Fix desktop file to conform the desktop file standard (texts and categories)
>
> ddccontrol-distcheck.patch: Fix failure of "make distcheck". You may want to fix some parts differently, but "make distcheck" should work.
>
> ddccontrol.cs.po: Czech translation of ddccontrol (incomplete, work in progress).
