Hi John, Thanks for the welcome, and also for the build scripts! Can you re-send seamonkey.moz_plugin_path.diff? It's just a link to the file, instead of the real file. Shared builds are more appropriate for a VL package, I agree. For these SeaMonkey builds, I wanted a configuration like the one you've been using, instead of the more optimised ones I've used. Your builds, by the way, are quite fast! Re static builds failing, I'm not sure ... I've compiled static ones on VL SOHO 5.1.1, but not yet on 5.8 RC2 (which I've just installed). Perhaps there's some conflict between the patches and the static configs? I use a .mozconfig which is called by the (simple) build script: #snip MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 BUILD_OFFICIAL=1 SUITEBUILDROOT=/mnt/hdb8/Build/MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH/CURRENT/mozilla # The rootdirectory of the buildprocess MOZCONFIG=/mnt/hdb8/Build/MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH/CONFIGS/.mozconfig-1_8-O2 # The place where the .mozconfig file is stored #snip export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL export BUILD_OFFICIAL export MOZCONFIG #snip cd $SUITEBUILDROOT ccache make -f client.mk build # use of ccache optional, but can speed up compiling #snip make -C /mnt/hdb8/Build/MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH/CURRENT/O2/xpinstall/packager # that makes the tarball Best, incognu Quoting John <joh...@gm...>: > Hi, Incognu! > > Welcome to the VL Developer's List! :) You asked about how I've been building > Seamonkey, so here goes: > > 1) The build is scripted based on a SlackBuild script "borrowed" from > slackware-current/testing/source/seamonkey with a couple of patches > "borrowed" from Beyond Linux From Scratch's Developmental version and a patch > from Slackware. > > The Slackware patch fixes the ./xpfe/bootstrap/mozilla.in file to > include /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins in the plugin patch.

Hi, Incognu! Welcome to the VL Developer's List! :) You asked about how I've been building Seamonkey, so here goes: 1) The build is scripted based on a SlackBuild script "borrowed" from slackware-current/testing/source/seamonkey with a couple of patches "borrowed" from Beyond Linux From Scratch's Developmental version and a patch from Slackware. The Slackware patch fixes the ./xpfe/bootstrap/mozilla.in file to include /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins in the plugin patch. That patch is useful in connection with the environment variable for setting the global plugins directory. One of the BLFS patches modifies several of the autoconf-related build files. The patch allows Seamonkey to be built using the --with-system-nss and --with-system-nspr arguments to the ./configure script. It was expedient (for me, anyway) to want to build Seamonkey with an existing libnss and libnspr, since we also use those libraries for the MSN protocol in building Gaim. The other BLFS patch fixes an issue with linking against the pangoxft library. I've been able to build Seamonkey without that patch. However, several users of the VL builds without the pangoxft patch have reported crashes on startup with an error about undefined symbols related to libpangoxft. 2) The builds I've done have been shared builds as opposed to static builds. I have tried to build a static build on a couple of different beta versions of VL 5.8. I've even used the incognu mozconfig arguments and patches. However, the build failed during linking. Thus, I did a shared build, which does work for VL users. ;-) The question was raised about the .mozconfig settings. The build script I used didn't invoke a mozconfig script but passed the arguments that would be in a mozconfig script to the ./configure script at the top level of the mozilla source tree. I've attached a bzipped tarball with the build script, the patches used, Joe1962's seamonkey script and the slack-desc and slack-required files. Feel free to improve on what's in the build script. ;-) Cheers, John On Thursday 09 November 2006 06:03, incognu wrote: > Quoting "Jose J.

Yes, patching the source first would be nicer, but that at least works, and isn't too unweildy. It might be possible to patch the source to include the theme .... The extracted theme directory should go in ./mozilla/themes. Then, ./mozilla/themes/makefiles, ./mozilla/themes/Makefile.in should be edited to include a reference to it. (Not sure if other files need to be edited.) The really difficult part is generating the jar.mn which should go in ./mozilla/themes/eurynome, corresponding to the jar.mn files in ./mozilla/themes/classic and ./mozilla/themes/modern. Does anyone know of a bash script which can automatically generate a jar.mn? I've been trying to write one, without much success. The script I've come up with can only generate a partial jar.mn for one subdirectory at a time. Since there are 113 subdirectories in eurynome (and > 1000 files), this is still impractical, though not as bad as creating one by hand. If anyone's handy with scripting, here's what I have so far. unzip eurynome.jar -d eurynome ls -R eurynome > Z_ls-R.one manually copy only the 2nd section, starting with "eurynome/communicator:" into a second file, "one.bak" and then run this script (rough working copy): #!/bin/bash DIRNM=thisisdirectory DIRNMRT=communicator # edit this each time run script for each of 113 subdirectories! FNM=one echo $DIRNM echo $FNM cat $FNM.bak > $FNM sed -i '/\.[a-z]/ !s/.//g' $FNM # this removes all non file names sed -i '/^$/d' $FNM # this removes blank lines cat $FNM > $FNM.a cat $FNM > $FNM.b sed -i "s/^.*/\($DIRNM\/&\)/g" $FNM.b sed -i "s/^/ $DIRNM\//g" $FNM.a rpl "$DIRNM" "$DIRNMRT" $FNM.a rpl "$DIRNM" "$DIRNMRT" $FNM.b diff -y --width=160 $FNM.a $FNM.b > $FNM.diff.a cp $FNM.diff.a $FNM.diff.b sed -i 's/|//g' $FNM.diff.b expand $FNM.diff.b >> $FNM.diff.c.mn # tabs to spaces; add each section as processed to the .mn file sed -i 's/^ / /g' $FNM.diff.c.mn The output is called one.diff.c.mn. I think (haven't been able to test) that this, on these limited lines, gives the proper format. Since Eurynome's directory structure is different from Classic's, I think the lines should be, for example: communicator/tasksOverlay.css (communicator/tasksOverlay.css) instead of Classic jar.mn's: skin/classic/communicator/tasksOverlay.css (communicator/tasksOverlay.css) Ideally, the script should take each section in the file generated by "ls -R eurynome" -- for example, to use two short ones: eurynome/communicator/permissions: status-cookie.gif taskbar-cookie.gif eurynome/communicator/profile: migrate.gif profile.css profileicon-large.gif profileManager.css and automatically get the directory name (such as "communicator/profile/" from "eurynome/communicator/profile:") at the beginning of each section, using it only in each section, and processing it along the lines of my script. As it is, it's necessary to copy, paste, and process one section at a time, manually entering the directory variable into the script. For over 100 sections! > We do the following steps: > > 1- put eurynome.jar and newsfox.jar in > /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/ > 2- overwrite chrome.rdf and overlays.rdf in that same dir > 3- change the /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/icons/default/ > to the eurynome-matching set > 4- Replace /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html > with our customized bookmarks > 5- Put our customized userChrome.css and userContent.css in > /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/chrome > 6- rename /opt/seamonkey/bin/seamonkey > to seamonkey-original > 7- copy our seamonkey script to /opt/seamonkey/bin/ > > This seamonkey script (step 7) makes it possible to call several parts > of SM from the menu even when SM is already running.

That mostly looks fairly straightforward. JohnB316 also compiles seamonkey for use in the package, right? I'm still wondering about the .mozconfig used for the build process. My .mozconfig isn't a standard one suitable for use with a distribution. > A template directory structure > with these elements exists on our repository server. Er, I haven't been able to find that template, though I've got the SeaMonkey package itself as well as a "makeinfo-slapt" script from the repository. Found some buildscripts for fx for vl 5.0 but couldn't get into 5.8. Do you have the url? Best, incognu |

The theme is a tough one, because it was mostly arrived at by installing the xpi on a running SM and seeing what changed. So far I just kept the chrome.rdf and overlay.rdf for overwriting in subsequent builds, which is not a nice way to do it. Since you have an understanding of the rdf files, you might give us a hint on how to script the addition of the eurynome theme and newsfox to them. We do the following steps: 1- put eurynome.jar and newsfox.jar in /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/ 2- overwrite chrome.rdf and overlays.rdf in that same dir 3- change the /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/icons/default/ to the eurynome-matching set 4- Replace /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html with our customized bookmarks 5- Put our customized userChrome.css and userContent.css in /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/chrome 6- rename /opt/seamonkey/bin/seamonkey to seamonkey-original 7- copy our seamonkey script to /opt/seamonkey/bin/ This seamonkey script (step 7) makes it possible to call several parts of SM from the menu even when SM is already running. The ones that cannot be called in this situation (would require a different profile), simply produce a popup explaining that they should be run from within SM. Of course, we also add icons and .desktop files for the KDE and XFCE menus to the package, as well as XFCE helper definition files and an /etc/profile.d/seamonkey.sh script. A template directory structure with these elements exists on our repository server. Regards, Joe1962 |

Joe1962 asked if I'd be interested in doing some work on the SeaMonkey package. I've packaged one of my own builds based on instructions on the web, but I'd like to know more about how JohnB316 has been packaging them. Also, can you share the .mozconfig used for the Vector SM packages? And of course also, what method are you using to change the theme in the package? best, incognu |

As you might have know ... I'm asked by the Indonesian goverment to make a Linux distro, special for Indonesian education, called Dewantara (DL). Obviously, I merge that with VL development. Thus, I've done these : 1. Update the vectelopment to be able to build multiple distros. It was designed to build various VL flavours, such as dynamite and SOHO. Now it can build VL various flavour as well as DL various flavour. 2. Make the GENERIC installer that is able to install any distro. This heavily change the CDROM layout ! 3. Simplify the first time configuration, now the system will be configured to a 'safe' settings without to much asking. User may use vasm for more detailed setting later. I incorporated the hwsetup and hwdata from Knoppix for this (dropped the binary only vlsetup, made by Tigger for the SOHO 3.2). IMHO, the changing that might bother you is number 2 because joe is developing the new installer. Should I send the new ISO (dynamite version ????) for your preview ? By the way ... who is the developer here that use vectelopment system ? It was available as a HUGE tarball that contains ALL VL SOHO 5.0 build tree. Unfortunatelly, the documentation was very poor and some were missing in the dead of our old WIKI and forum :( Best Regards Kocil --------------------------------- Get your email and see which of your friends are online - Right on the new Yahoo.com |

Joe, We might need the fix, if only for the getcwd() bug. ;-) If that function doesn't work correctly, then the packaging won't proceed correctly. FWIW, John On 11/1/06, Jose J.

So checkinstall 1.6.1 is out, but I can't really tell if it's worth it for us:
Here's the changelog:
nov/01/2006
* Provides/Requires bug fixed
* Applied the patches from Felipe Sateler:
- We now explicitly run bash (It has always benn a requiremente anyway)
- In Debian we set the architecture with dpkg-architecture.
- If we're creating a .dpkg then we eliminate uderscores and put
dashes instead in the package name.
- Tag all files in /etc inside the package as config files
And here's the release notes:
Checkinstall 1.6.1
======================================
* Fixed the famous getcwd() bug (Thanks to David Brown for hunting it down!)
* Added translations:
Indonesian - Tedi Heriyanto
Italian - Michele Petrecca
Norwegian - cizu jones
German - Andreas Muck
Chinese - Xinkui Hao
Japanese - UTUMI Hirosi
Regards,
Joe1962

hello Kocil, do you know what the difference is with this checkinstall and the one in the repo with the same name? I have not had any problems creating tlz packages with the last checkinstall you gave us. You should come into the IRC chat more often there are things we could use your expertise on from time to time. also we have a wiki here http://wikihost.org/wikis/vecdev/programm/gebo.prgWe have been trying to track the changes we have been making but as usual (at least for me) it is hard to find the time to make notes of all we do.

Hi all. I've fixed checkinstall regarding the bug when creating tlz package. Here it is. Regard. Kocil ps. I'm sorry if this is the wrong way to send a package. Due to my minimum participation time, I'm really lost about the current "standard operating procedure" of vectelopers :( ____________________________________________________________________________________ We have the perfect Group for you.

>From what I can see, the veclinux-5.8 tree is basically empty. Whoever created it should have just copied the veclinux-current tree recursively into the 5.8 tree, as the items that are in current are going to be in 5.8until such time as things are frozen. Please let's be careful when we make major changes in the repository like this. The last thing we need is that the boxes that serve the trusted repo on osuosl are not in sync with our main tree.

Guys, I am forwarding an announcement I received from the kde-announce list. Maybe this is something we should check into for bug tracking purposes. Thoughts? Cheers, John ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michal Mecinski <mi...@mi...> Date: Oct 23, 2006 3:54 AM Subject: [kde-announce] WebIssues 0.8.1 released To: kde...@kd... Hello, WebIssues Client version 0.8.1 has been released. Information: http://webissues.mimec.org/ Download: http://webissues.mimec.org/downloads About WebIssues =============== WebIssues is a system supporting team collaboration across the Internet. It can be used for storing bugs and other information with customizable attributes, comments and file attachments. The server can be installed on any host with PHP and MySQL or PostgreSQL. The client is a native KDE application. WebIssues is mainly aimed at small development teams which don't need to set up an elaborate bug tracking system. It is easy to deploy and customize. It is also more comfortable to use than common web-based interfaces. Release Notes ============= This version features a complete user interface for defining attribute types. Another new feature is handling links to other issues, comments and attachments in both attribute values and comments. Links to external URLs and emails are also handled. It's also possible to quickly find an issue, comment or attachment with a given ID. This release completes the first stage of development making all basic features complete and ready to use. I'm awaiting comments, suggestions and bug reports. Visit http://webissues.mimec.org/ for more information if you are interested in this project. -- Regards, Michal Mecinski [ http://www.mimec.org ] _______________________________________________ kde-announce mailing list kde...@kd... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-announce |

Uel, Just my $2.00 - Right now, as long as we haven't finalized VL 5.8, we should put any updates into the packages tree and then run the cleanold script to move the old stuff into the old tree. Once the VL 5.8 repo is finalized, when a package is updated for non-security reasons, it should either go into packages under VL 5.8 or packages under current (or extra if the package is an "extra"), depending on the build tools used. Scenario: VL 5.8 has been finalized and is using gcc-3.4.6 and tools built from that version of gcc. The veclinux-current repo, OTOH, is built from gcc-4.x and tools built from it. Obviously we couldn't put stuff built against gcc-4.x into VL 5.8. However, stuff that is built against VL 5.8 should go into that tree. The cleanold script should then be run to move the older version into the old tree. The downgrade path for any issue related to a package is to go into the old tree - that's why we have one now. ;-) The structure of the old tree mirrors that of the package tree. While we're talking about the repository, those who have access to the actual repo itself need to update the Changelog.txt file at the top level of the packages and/or testing tree when packages are added or updated. It's been a valid criticism in the past that there has been little or no publicly accessible changelog. The changelog for packages is an attempt to fix that issue, at least regarding repo updates. I welcome constructive disagreement on this one. ;-) Cheers, John On 10/23/06, uel archuletta <ue...@gm...> wrote: > Hello fellow devs, > > I have been trying to wrap my brain around the packages repo, and I would > like some help with it. > The part I am having trouble with is the use of the packages dir for program > version updates that arent there because of security reasons.

Hello fellow devs, I have been trying to wrap my brain around the packages repo, and I would like some help with it. The part I am having trouble with is the use of the packages dir for program version updates that arent there because of security reasons. My understanding was that the packages dir was for packages that were on the iso, and security updates to those packages. where do non-security-related version update packages belong? if a version update package causes problems with other packages is there an easy downgrade path? Thanks, Uel Archuletta |

i completely forgot to mention the following: 1) vim intead of elvis 2) ruby 3) when building vim use the python and ruby bindings. vim is actually not much bigger a package than elvis, has 100% compatibility to vi, has a really good community and lots of help available. almost every VL release, one of the first package i build is vim. unfortunately i cannot do that this release, or in time for the 5.8 std, so it would be awesome to have it ship by default. [ i will still be a happy camper to have it in the repo .. --with-python and --with-ruby ] cheers ram ps: [also more descriptive names on the menu instead of the package name eg: image editor istead of xara xtreme ] On 10/20/06, nig...@ju... <nig...@ju...> wrote: > > I think there should be some weight given to the Samba Networking > application.

i have been playing with Beta for a while, and i find it really good. my only request now is for a network load applet. we have a really tremendous release, and i think we should win a lot of converts from other distros with this releae :) today i will do my last test, burning a data CD, and report on that experience too.

Based on the beta announcement (http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum2/index.php?topic=605.0), here are a few suggestions to make the 5.8 Standard final release announcement as stunning as possible... ;) - "The default browser/email client is now the latest SeaMonkey Internet Suite, with Calendar, Eurynome theme and preinstalled NewsFox RSS reader extension; Firefox and Opera are included as options selectable during install". - Point out the inclusion of Xara Xtreme for Linux (it was added for beta1, IIRC, right?). - "The default kernel now autodetects uni- or multi-processor systems on boot and is FUSE-enabled, with included modules: fuse-smb (for a network-neighborhood-like experience) and ntfs3g (for full read-write access to NTFS formatted drives)". - Change "the latest XFCE4 desktop" to "the latest XFCE4.4 desktop, with a nice set of added plugins".
