Re: [Notion-devel] [Notion-general] Notion 4

[Dima K. <no...@di...>]

Hi.

I just pushed packages targeting Debian/buster (the current stable) into
Debian/experimental. They should now be percolating through the system,
and should become installable on Monday. To build your own copy of the
packages you can do something like this:

  /tmp$ gbp clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/notion.git

  /tmp$ cd notion

  /tmp/notion$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b

Broadly, this seems to work. Some notes:

In the debianization I have to tell the build to use the CPPFLAGS from
the environment in addition to the CFLAGS from the environment. Can we
update the notion build system to do that instead?

I'm still building the notion-dev package, as we have for a very long
time. The notion build system doesn't install any .h files, so the
debianization is doing that. Is this thing useful? Any idea if it works?
Any idea how to test it?

The older notion package contained these files, which are no longer
being installed by the build system. Is this correct?

    /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/notion.mo
    /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/notion.mo
    /usr/share/man/cs/man1/notion.1.gz
    /usr/share/man/fi/man1/notion.1.gz
    /usr/share/notion/welcome.cs.txt
    /usr/share/notion/welcome.fi.txt

After installing the new package on my box, I could run notion, but it
started up in some odd state where the look was different, and most (but
not all) of my bindings didn't work anymore. No error messages. I'm not
sure if it reverted to the default bindings or not; it didn't tell me. I
tried to hit META+/ (window key and the / key) since the migration page
suggests this shows me the current bindings, but this did nothing. What
is it supposed to do?

As a test I then moved ~/.notion/default-session--0 and restarted
notion. It came up with the correct keybindings this time, but the look
was still broken. It is apparently loading the correct .lua file
defining the look, but it doesn't work anymore. This is the look I've
been using for close to 10 years now, so it really should continue to
work. Or it should complain in an obvious way. I'm attaching the look.
Can somebody please see why it's loading incorrectly? The title bars
should be yellow, but in the new notion they're coming up black.

Thanks for all the work!
