[extra:editors] nvu 1.0

darkcoder · 2005-02-13 22:54:41

New package for the 0.81 version.

In addition to the updated version, I made the following enhancements or changes to the package:

1. Remove some locale directories bundle with nvu which belongs to mac and windows architectures.

2. Added a mozilla-ext script which is execute a predefined browser either when the browse button is pressed or a hyperlink from the help menu entries is clicked. Previous versions do nothing on those actions. The default browser is firefox, but the file can be edited if your current browser is other. Just edit /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla-ext, comment the first browser which is firefox, and uncomment the one you want to use.

3. The most important in terms of usage and future package maintenance is the replacement of the nonroot.tar.gz file with the -register option. That change takes out the most difficult and time consuming patch of the package. That means faster releases.

Since many changes were done to the package, please test it and post any success or failure.

nvu source on PKGBUILD now points to http://cvs.nvu.com/download/nvu-$pkgver-sources.tar.bz2

People with problem downloading the sources adjust the first source like on the PKGBUILD or grab the current one.

Latest nvu findings...

1. gawk is not needed. There were no errors on compilation or execution ATM without it, so I decided to remove the gawk dependency. Like two weeks ago I updated the PKGBUILD while keeping the same version, but forgot to tell you about it. Anyway don't think anyone will just recompile this beast only to remove a dependency.

2. nvu 0.90-rc1 is compiling just fine, all patches worked without problem. The only mods I do was changing the path of some instructions on the PKGBUILD itself to reflect the rc1 value. Those values will not be needed by the final version anyways. So I'm considering the PKGBUILD and patches mature enought.

BTW, since nvu 0.90-rc1 is just a test package, and nvu-0.90 final will come in the following days, no package will be posted until 0.90 final comes.

Found recently while testing a Gnome PC that for some reason the package failed to build at the nvu -register instruction giving the following error:

(Gecko:6899): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome directory: Permission denied
Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': Permission denied

The problem is that it tries to get to the directories shown on the error above ( /root/.gnome2) and since fakeroot is not able to do that it fails.

It occurs when Gnome is installed, even if user is currently running another DE like KDE when building the package. Haven't tested other DE like XFCE to see if the problem spread even more.

For the time being, if your PC have Gnome installed, even if you are not an active Gnome user, should build the package as root.

Any light on how can I bypass or patch this gnome-vfs problem will be appreciated.

Updated: XFCE also do not exhibit the problem. It's only gnome.

Hi darkcoder,

waiting for the new PKGBUILD for NVU 0.9! but take your time!

darkcoder · 2005-03-12 00:31:18

Nvu 0.90 is available for your building pleasure.

darkcoder · 2005-03-12 00:44:43

And definitely, by not using a nonroot gziped patch releases are a lot faster now.

Hi darkcoder, I downloaded the things but I get this :

I tried downloading the mozconfig, but it didn't help, and the same file did work when I used it to build 0.81

darkcoder · 2005-03-12 01:45:57

grab the mozconfig again

Greycloack · 2005-03-12 08:33:12

Works now, Thanks :-)

Stanislav · 2005-03-12 10:31:33

it works for me too & i like the new icon set

Thanks again darkcoder!

shadowhand · 2005-04-13 23:10:57

Thanks. I've been meaning to try Nvu for a while now...

darkcoder · 2005-04-15 00:09:29

I'm already building the latest 1.0PR. All patches applied without problems, and no changes ATM has been required on the mozconfig.

I've been researching a bit on the Gnome compile problem, and even submited the info to Daniel but haven't got a reply yet. But apparently the -register option from Nvu has issues with gnome-vfs running under a fakeroot environment. Even when not login on Gnome, if it is installed, Nvu fails to compile. Found a flag --disable-gnomevfs but do nothing for the problem.

The worst, I made some tests with firefox and thunderbird, and both include the -register option and both fail with the same error on the same conditions, thus that means the problem is upstream.

Dunno if the latest 1.0PR has the same issue since I'm compiling it ATM, so I'll post any details, but probably people with Gnome installed will require to build as root as the last version.

The other alternative will be reverting to the non-root patch, which will add a binary package to the equation that I know many people are unconfortable with, and make more difficult to maintain the whole package, 3-5 days delay compared to same or next day delivery right now

darkcoder · 2005-04-15 14:02:52

version 1.0PR available now. Previous users only need the PKGBUILD, kde-1.0PR-kdesitemanager.patch, and nvu-nonroot.tar.gz

Return to the non root patch approach since that way Gnome people can build nvu without being root due to the problem the -register command has betweeen gnome-vfs and fakeroot. The curious (or non trusting) can anyway open the tar.gz and they will see some files that are build when nvu runs with the -register command as root.

Anyway I think the delay with the patch will not be that bad, since I make a script that will take the created files for me, so I will not have to be doing that manually as before

I will upload the files to the aur site soon.

darkcoder · 2005-07-01 21:46:45

Version 1.0 available now, files also available on AUR site.

Enjoy it.

PS. I'll be on vacation next week and probably far from computers, so please check it.

Arch Linux
