e17-cvs packages

OK. I just did as suggested. Now, is there a way to still have pacman check the community repo for updates of other packages without installing e17 from it?

As long as you don't have any e17 packages from community repo installed, pacman shouldn't try to update them.

MillTek · 2005-07-12 16:57:39

OK. I understand that, but I've never installed e17 from community. I have previously used Rensels first and then NickM's (until he went off-line), so I don't understand why this would happen with ecore.

Anyway, I don't really need community so I'll comment it out of pacman.conf unless I have a specific requirement.

Thanks,

Jim

Dreameen · 2005-07-12 17:13:19

The new packages should be smart enough to tell whether you have rensel's/nickm's/community e17 packages installed and ask for their removal before proceeding. 8)

Thanks Dreameen

OK, I have a few more little issues for people to peruse.

Firstly, when I restart e17, or change themes, a certain set of programs (seemingly unrelated to any of my menus) are launched, not all of which are installed. So a) I get lots of unwanted app windows, b) I get error boxes.

Second, Entrance. Does anybody have this working? If I set XSESSION to 'enlightenment' it doesn't work. If I add '/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment' it does work, but many apps (eg mozilla, erss, just random I think) just don't working, giving 'command not found' errors.

If I launch e17 from the console none of these problems occur.

Just thought I'd mention these little bits and bobs. Oh, one more thing: RSS feeds. If I use ERSS, everything gets displayed properly, but they don't refresh, and they come up during alt-tabbing (no idea how to stop this, tried looking around at window classes etc but no luck). I'd use adesklets... but guess what, it doesn't appear above e17's background!! Guess that's my third thing

Ideas?

The mirror is pretty fast, I did not notice my BT upload was a bit high.

Dreameen · 2005-07-12 20:18:45

Okie, first of all i'd like to say that i'd really like to see this splitted to e17 tips&tricks thread:D Anyway i'll try to answer some of your doubts:

Weird...Make sure your .e/e/applications/startup/.order is empty. If that doesn't help, try moving your ~/.e directory somewhere else and restart e17.

This is the same issue i was dealing with today. What i thought would be worth a try is creating ~/.xsession file with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xsession
#
# Executed by xdm/gdm/kdm at login
#

/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc

chmod +x it and make sure you have 'exec enlightenment' in your ~/.xinit file. I can't try this atm, because i'm uploading updated packages to the repo...ETA 13 min. Not bad

As for the refresh issue, you can have a look through the *.cfg files in /opt/e17/share/erss/config. The section that interests you is Update_rate. And last but not least, it's possible to exlclude a window from alt+tab list. Just click at the little icon in the upper left corner in a window and tick 'Skip Window List'.

I hope this helps you. 8)

This is because e-cvs it's being uploaded right now. 3 more minutes and it should be there.

btw. they really ironed out some bugs, like the one with point to click policy, which caused the mouse pointer to freeze occassionaly. It's impressive to look how fast the thing is being developed. 8)

Nah it won't. Since E17 is still under heavy development, it doesn't of yet follow any kind of window manager standards. Raster claims it will be ICCM-compliant by release which will mean adesklets will work perfectly well with it but until that time, it's a no go.

aha · 2005-07-13 13:19:18

Thanks Dreameen for providing these packages

tmadhavan · 2005-07-13 14:16:33

ERSS doesn't come up as a normal window; there's no option to hide it from alt-tab.

shadowhand · 2005-07-15 21:43:43

Would it be possible to have exige packaged? I could make a build myself if you want, but I'm not very good at CVS builds.

EDIT: nevermind, found it in the utils package.

Gullible Jones · 2005-07-17 14:49:06

Dreameen, I can't get them PKGBUILDs... Can't connect to your website. Lorddeath's repo works fine.

Danny · 2005-07-17 17:10:02

Dreameen you can upload them to the repo somewhere if you want. Btw we've had 7.1gb traffic so far (since the 5th this month).

I'm gonna give this a try again. thanks for making/hosting these.

Thats nice, you've got a fast connection there.

CyberTron · 2005-07-21 17:31:15

Just wante to see if you have the same problem dremaen: e_utils-cvs cannot build , some problem with emblem

Nice to know, I'm doing an e17 update every sunday, I hope this problem will solve in the next days. By the way, anyone has used E-Weather?

CyberTron · 2005-07-22 05:06:50

*that is what I wanted to try out*

but I will not upgrade unless every package is up to date

Michel · 2005-07-22 18:24:56

Heya,

nice that you provided these packages. I would like to build the packages myself using the pkgbuild's. The link previously provided doesn't seem to work anymore. Could you post the pkgbuild's for these packages somewhere and post the link to that location?

Thanks,

Michel

CyberTron · 2005-07-22 18:51:36

You may download them from my site if you want to (they are changed a little...but not much)
