Compiling against gtk2
by Peter Robinson 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi All, I'm having trouble compiling things against gtk2 due to the move of the includes. It seems to affect at least libnotify and gdk-pixbuf and anything that links against them. As well as includes within gtk2 itself. I filed a bug (originally against gdk-pixbuf but moved to gtk2 as it seems to have the problem, I'm not sure the best way to fix this but its causing me problems all over rawhide. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=610839 Cheers, Peter

Re: desktop Digest, Vol 77, Issue 6

Hi Guys, RE: The Desktop I have a question which I don't dare to ask. What is the idea of making things that have already been done around the world instead of pulling out the f4l (flash for linux) project from 'ground zero' where it is 'mulled for years on end'.

I was wondering about the state of what was planned for the various desktops. I've not seen features for the latest GNOME/KDE/LXDE/XFCE and I presume most of those would have new major releases out.

I have been using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome3 to track what needs doing for GNOME, but I don't really have the resources to do a great job on the Fedora side of this. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 22:36:17 -0400 From: Matthias Clasen <mclasen(a)redhat.com> Subject: Re: some help needed To: Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop <desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Cc: Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop <fedora-desktop-list(a)redhat.com> Message-ID: <1278988577.2520.10.camel@localhost> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On Thu, 2010-07-01 at 09:49 -0400, Matthias Clasen wrote: > Hey, I am trying to get GNOME 2.31.4 into rawhide, and could use some > help. > > There are some reviews that need to happen: > > 609175 gtksourceview3 (this blocks building gedit against gtk3) > 602279 LibRaw (this blocks building shotwell 0.6) > > And there are some more libraries that we need to pacakge > parallel-installable gtk3 versions for: > > unique3 > vte3 > webkitgtk3 > Thankfully, we have LibRaw, and unique taken care of, and shotwell 0.6.1 is in rawhide now.

I'm looking at upgrading it to the 0.7 release which improves a few things like PA support but I wanted to make sure I'm not going to break other stuff in the process. I've also been made aware of some other issues with KDE's use of it that I hope to fix as well as part of that.

Features/PolkitAgentReorg - FedoraProject
by Christoph Wickert 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

What is the status of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PolkitAgentReorg ? If this should become a feature of F14, the wiki page needs to be updated ASAP so that the feature wrangler can look at it before handing it over to FESCO. FWIW the wiki page is contradictory: > The individual agent implementations will no longer provide autostart > desktop files. The policy decision which agent to start rests with the > desktop environment, which can either hardcode the start of the agent > or install an autostart desktop file. > > > Benefit to Fedora > > Fedora sets an example of cross-desktop cooperation, and Fedora users > can freely choose between multiple installed desktops So the agent gets hardcoded somewhere in the desktop environment, but the users can choose freely? Huh? IMHO the simplest way to select the agent is to use the session properties because all desktops have a configuration dialog for this. Therefor we need the autostart files. Last but not least I'd to say that IMHO this hardly meets the criteria for a feature. Nether me nor Jaroslav got any replies to our last mails after I started a discussion about this back in April, so I just went ahead and built lxpolkit. Please speak up if something breaks for you. Regards, Christoph
