[X11] fluxbox-cvs

one of the TURs maintains a fluxbox-cvs PKGBUILD but it seems a bit antiquated - the cvs version now makes use of lots of the xorg 6.8 composite features so you may like to check it out - read the changelog tho, eh?  cos it will "break" your themes (trans is not set in themes now)

the package installs to /opt - i use this for all cvs versions cos it is easier to clean them if osmething goes worng (this isn't an issue since i moved to Arch but old habits die hard) - it also means you can run cvs and dev/stable on the same machine without reinstall.

The source is built in a seperate dir which is cleaned and recreated each build - this keeps the cvs code clean and reduces DL time.  the cvs server can be a bit unreliable so i have added in a wait for key option so you can actually check to see if the cvs has been checked out before continuing the build.

finally i think 0.9.11 will be out soon with all these changes.

pkgname=fluxbox-cvs
pkgver=current
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Fluxbox is yet another windowmanager for X.  This will checkout and package the latest CVS version (this pkg built on `date +%A` `date +%b` `date +%d,` `date +%Y` at `date +%H:%M:%S` `date +%Z`).  It installs to /opt/flux to prevent conflict with dev and stable versions"
url="http://www.fluxbox.org"
conflicts=('blackbox')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
  cvsmod=fluxbox

  touch ~/.cvspass
  msg "Connecting to $cvsmod.sourceforge.net CVS server...."
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/$cvsmod co $cvsmod
  cd $cvsmod
  cvs -qz3 update -PAd
  ./autogen.sh
  msg "CVS checkout done or server timeout - press a key to start make"
  read X

  msg "Starting make..."
  rm -r ../$cvsmod-build
  mkdir ../$cvsmod-build
  cd ../$cvsmod-build
  ../$cvsmod/configure --prefix=/opt/fluxbox --enable-kde --enable-xinerama
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/opt/fluxbox install
}

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

I have never used cvs so I am not sure if the connection hangs because of my system or PKGBUILD.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.fluxbox.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fluxbox co fluxbox

I have installed cvs and cvsup packages.

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

as far as i can tell the fluxbox CVS server is currently, uuummmmm, not working properly.

AFAIK and IIRC this build has worked when CVS has been up and running - other people also do not seem to have had a problem to this point.  AFAIK the syntax is correct for the CVS server and the only issue is at their end.

Bad tho, eh?  sad

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

have had to change the PKGBUILD again otherwise when you sync the dbase it looks for the package named for THAT day - which it would of course - sorry, this is a bit a learning experience for me.  the description of each package should still be updated correctly with each build tho - I THINK this is unaffected smile

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

I am keeping an eye on your PKGBUILD and glad you maintain it, because now my only WM is fluxbox-cvs smile ... KDE and XFCE4 are removed.  Kdelibs I am still keeping for k3b, kbear and quanta, and kdebase until I can replace konqueror though endeavour II is quite good.

Any link where to read latest fluxbox-cvs updates?

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

I added this package to my TUR... I tweaked the PKGBUILD a littlebit... I'm gonna tweak it some more later... There's some stuff I wanna do to it (profile.d script, startup script with xcompgr)... but none of that's really a neccededy, it will work without it... I'll work on it later...

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

Ooops, sorry about that... I didn't see that you already added your package to a repository.  I guess I should have asked you first.  I usually ask, but most of the time people don't care.  If you would like me to remove it, I would be more than happy to remove it asap.

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

i am about to go to the Philippines for 3 months on a research assignment and i won't be able to maintain this version anyway so i would be more than happy for you to take up my mantle  big_smile

if i hadn't have been going away i think i would have liked to apply for a TUR of my own maybe...but as i am going away there is little point.

it would have beennice to have been asked but i'll forgive you of course - it's best for everyone this way  8)

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

The only problems with fluxbox and the new xorg extensions are some simple focus issues that should be fixed in cvs.  If your running cvs most of the xorg composite/transset should work fine(if your hardware can handle it).

If you have any other problems with xorg anf fluxbox you can file a bug report, other then that, the devs arent doing much right now with xorg problems(there arent really that many).  There are other bugs that are taking up their time at the moment(since there are only ~3 devs)

If you have any other problems you can always ask in #fluxbox on freenode.

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

thanks - i think i am bubbling under the top ten users of #fluxbox so i am pretty up to speed there - but it is hardly the most inviting place to get help - if they had a forum and an FAQ page it would help - it is NOT the best documented project!

what do you reckon is the min requirements for this stuff?  i have 16Mb built in card - no chance?

Re: [X11] fluxbox-cvs

I really dont know what to recommend as far as Xorg stuff.  I run linux on my laptop using a Radeon Mobility 7500(which is half-assed supported by everything) so eye candy rarely works.  I played with transset and xcompmgr when it was first release, but was incredibly slow and booged down my system.

Other then a 15 minute experience I havent messed with it at all

As for a FAQ page for fluxbox:

Fluxbox FAQ: http://fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq.php
Fluxbox Development FAQ: http://fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq-dev.php

I know it's not much, but there isnt much to the configuration of fluxbox.

As far as #fluxbox goes, you will most likely want to look for fluxgen, ak|ra, and Rathnor.  The developers for flux. If you get annoyed by the newbness that seems to prevail in that room you can always ask them first.
