[request] gnome-system-tools & system-tools-backends

gnome-system-tools: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/
system-tools-backends: http://system-tools-backends.freedesktop.org/

The package inside "unstable" and the "PKGBUILD" of AUR are obsolete.

gnome-system-tools requires system-tools-backends and...

Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, Solaris, ...

... maybe the next supported distro could be Arch, if Gentoo and Slackware are supported, it should also run on Arch... maybe...

Re: [request] gnome-system-tools & system-tools-backends

Yes they are really outdated on AUR, I made new ones (initial attempt)that work on my system (except services). I also sent them to the maintainer. They changed a lot and also the patches in unstable no longer work, there is still a lot of work to do to make them usable however

Re: [request] gnome-system-tools & system-tools-backends

Hello!

I spoke to g-s-t and s-t-b developers at #gst @ irc.gimp.org today. I sent gst-arch.patch and PKGBUILD from Archlinux' s-t-b package to garnacho_, too. Here are some conclusions:

DrFrasierCrane is me :-)

Sep 25 19:44:34 <DrFrasierCrane>    thanks
Sep 25 19:47:19 <garnacho_>    the whole scrollkeeper stuff shouldn't be necessary for s-t-b, nor the gconf switch
Sep 25 19:47:43 <DrFrasierCrane>    ok
Sep 25 19:49:41 <garnacho_>    DrFrasierCrane: oh, I forgot, you'll want to include an initscript for /usr/bin/system-tools-backends to run as root
Sep 25 19:50:04 <DrFrasierCrane>    ok
Sep 25 19:50:14 <garnacho_>    s-t-b is now a DBus service, so that executable sits there to process any petition
Sep 25 19:50:56 <DrFrasierCrane>    what about the patch?
Sep 25 19:51:12 <DrFrasierCrane>    do I have to add support for arch manually like this patch does?
Sep 25 19:52:06 <garnacho_>    no, I'll have a look tonight to add to s-t-b what's necessary
Sep 25 19:52:43 <garnacho_>    after that, hopefully s-t-b will just work on archlinux
Sep 25 19:53:43 <DrFrasierCrane>    great, are you planning to release some maintenance version soon or should I just write PKGBUILD so that it downloads source from your repository?
Sep 25 19:54:46 <garnacho_>    I'd like to make a new release soon, hopefully when this is integrated
Sep 25 19:55:21 <DrFrasierCrane>    sounds good

- additional dependencies

Sep 25 19:11:50 <juice>    liboobs
Sep 25 19:13:19 <garnacho_>    yep, plus dbus >= 0.35, XML::Twig

Re: [request] gnome-system-tools & system-tools-backends

I updated these packages. Take a look at this:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=288479

I think that the packages are working, but i need some feedback to confirm this. Can someone test it?

Thanks.
