Hi, Not sure if this is the right list but was the best way to contribute to ooRexx? I already open 2 tickets with patches (*) on the sourceforge page but I´m not sure if there´s someone monitoring it. Am I doing it right? By the way: I´m planning to build a NSIS based installer for rexxgtk on windows; do you thing this will be usefull? (*) one adding support for gtk3 on rexxgtk, other changing the rxapid service on linux to a more "lsb" script to avoid some hangs I was getting in OpenSUSE. -- Perry Werneck Brasília/DF |

We don't always have time to act on things right away. So, I think you are doing this just right - submit a patch and then discuss it on this list to get the other developers input. I usually defer to David when it comes to what is the 'right' way to do the installs on Linux. I don't follow things like a "more lsb script," so I didn't comment on the patch. > > By the way: I´m planning to build a NSIS based installer for rexxgtk on > windows; do you thing this will be usefull? > I think it would be useful. I would encourage you to do that and submit it. David is also the one who did rexxgtk, so he should be the one to comment on adding gtk3 support to rexxgtk. But, I'm knowledgeable about NSIS installers on Windows, so if you submit an installer for rexxgtk I'm likely to take a close look at it. Ask questions on this list. "Did anyone see my patch?" seems like a perfectly valid question to get a conversation going. -- Mark Miesfeld |

Hi, Thanks! I'll start with the packaging of the rexxgtk as soon as I get some time. By the way: Wha´ts do you thing is the best way: Just package gtkrexx and requires the gtk3runtime as a separated package ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk3win/ ) or package the entire (and big) gtkruntime in the gtkrexx installer? Or both? In other project (pw3270 - 3270´s terminal emulator) I´m installing the entire gtkruntime in the application folder; easy to guarantee the gtk version but far more dificult to do an automated software distribution because of the file size. 2013/7/4 Mark Miesfeld <mie...@gm...> > On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 5:50 PM, Perry Werneck <per...@gm...>wrote: > >> >> Not sure if this is the right list but was the best way to contribute to >> ooRexx?

An installer that installed everything so that user could just try it would be the best. An installer that had the option of installing everything needed for gtkrexx or just installing the gtkrexx files would be ideal. -- Mark Miesfeld |

Perry - Thanks for submitting the patch. I will be incorporating it into the trunk but it will take me a few more weeks to get it done as I am leaving on vacation soon and will not be back until 8/1. As to packaging rexxgtk for Windows, I think we need some discussion on this among the core team. If we include the gtk runtime files it means we also have to distribute the source for those file because of the LGPL license. Distributing mixed license software is not a good idea as it just leads to trouble. So we need some discussion on this. But I am not against distributing the ooRexx code and an installer we develop on our own. David Ashley |

So, I don't think the gtk runtime should be in the installer. But, what would be nice Perry, would be to include a readme file that detailed exactly how the user of gtkrexx can install the runtime themselves. -- Mark Miesfeld |

Hi, Ok. I just looked in the gtk2 installer and it put links for the projects page in the license page. I'll do the same in my gtk3 installer. About gtkrexx I think nsis installers can download and install other packages. Doing you dont have to package the gtk runtime and keeps easy for the user.

If the installer can install other external packages from a different source then that would be a good solution, as long as it is made clear to the user that the GTK packages are not being pulled from an ooRexx web site.
