gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

I'm getting a 100% cpu load and a crash when trying to open a conversation window with gaim-svn 18019-1.
I check with the project page, and it's is already documented.

I'll just leave the heads-up: If you have a gaim-svn that works fine, don't upgrade to this version.

glad i'm not the only one

i found that it only affected the msn protocol. All other, google-talk, icq all opened as normal - it was only msn windows that hogged the cpu then eventually opened, but with no text entry or avatar

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

Yahoo! is faulty too with the current svn version. Crashes when opening a buddy window. Could someone please repackage it again from svn and add it to the repos ? I really need gaim-svn over normal gaim 2.0 beta3 Thanks a lot guys !

I tried grabbing the latest svn, but the problem still persists.

I had actually forgotten about this issue but in fact I have it too. I just turn off the avatars in conversation windows and show them only on the buddy list as a workaround.

i versionpkg'd gaim-svn from aur yesterday (revision. 18081) and the MSN avatar problem is resolved.

Hmm, link please ? Maybe I'm silly, but I don't see any gaim-svn in AUR.

It's in unstable.

It's in unstable.

Yeah, it is, but it's the buggy one we talked about earlier in this thread. I see the Yahoo problem is solved in the current SVN version from sourceforge. I installed it with the following PKGBUILD:

pkgname=gaim-cvs
pkgver=2.0.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A GTK+-based messaging client"
url="http://gaim.sourceforge.net"
depends=('startup-notification' 'libao'  'gnutls>=1.2.0' 'gtk2' 'gtkspell' 'dbus')
provides=('gaim')
conflicts=('gaim')
makedepends=('subversion')
source=()
md5sums=()

_svnmod="gaim"
_svncmd="svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gaim/trunk ${_svnmod}"

build() {
    cd $startdir/src
    msg "Connecting to $_svnmod.sourceforge.net SVN server...."
    $_svncmd
    
    msg "SVN checkout done or server timeout"
    msg "Starting make..."
    cd $_svnmod
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    make || return 1
    make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install || return 1

    rm $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/*/$CARCH-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod
    mv $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/?.?.? $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/perl5/current

    find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} ;
}

Cheers, Catalin.

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

The bug is in gaim's code, svn rev no 18019, not in the Arch package - you could have used Shadowhand's PKGBUILD, instead of writing your own.

You might like to have a look at the CVS/SVN PKGBUILD Guidelines in the wiki, btw - you have a few errors there.

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

So all you're saying is that he installed the svn through the PKGBUILD and changed the revision number to 18081? Or is there an entire new package I'm missing here?

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

my mistake about gaim-svn in aur, someone might have posted the pkgbuild in the forums at some point. Maybe the name at the top will give it away

If you want the latest version, grab this PKGBUILD (or the other posted) and install versionpkg - then run versionpkg in the same dir as this PKGBUILD. That should build you the current version

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

OK, the repo package is now updated to 18096-1, and will be available on your favourite mirror shortly.

For anyone still interested in the nuts-and-bolts of CVS/SVN packages, see the Guidelines referred to above.

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

picpak: did you versionpkg it yourself or use the unstable package?

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

I used the unstable package, will versionpkging it myself work?

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

I wouldn't have thought so. At the very least it *may* give you a hint at a dependency you are missing during compile.

That's the only thing i can think of since my version works...

I can just turn the avatars off, no biggie.

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

tomk, thank you for updating it. I tried it, and without installing gstreamer0.10 from extra, it won't run, complaining about a missing library:

gaim: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

By the way the new build kicks-ass

Re: gaim-svn 18019-1 bug on avatar resize

Glad it's working again.

Re the missing gstreamer dep, I just took Shadowhand's work and updated it. I'll let him know.
