SciTE CVS [FINISHED]

******************************************
Please see post #6 for review request
******************************************

-->This is easier to understand if you know SciTE. <--

I put together a PKGBUILD file for SciTE from CVS. I got it working great but with one remaining problem. There are bugs (that I filed a bug report for) where some of the options in the User Options File are ignored by SciTE. Two of these that I know of are window position and geometry. In order to change these settings it has to be done to the Global Options File. This is overwritten every time SciTE is updated.

The solution so far is to check to see if /usr/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties already exists in the file system. If it does, the new version of the file is saved as SciTEGlobal.properties.pacnew and the old version is copied into the new package. Is this a decent solution until the bug gets fixed upstream? If so, how do I get pacman to print and log the information? If not, would copying all of the settings from the old properties file to the new one make more sense?

--EDIT--

Post #6 has the (hopefully) final version.

I suppose, this should be done not in PKGBUILD's build section but in post_install section in .install file. So, you should always install SciTEGlobal.properties.pacnew and then (in post_install) rename it to SciTEGlobal.properties if the later does not already exist.

The .install file! Of course! Those things exists for a reason after all. Thanks Mr.Cat.

Welcome to the forums by the way.

Re: SciTE CVS [FINISHED]

I was tired when I wrote the .pacnew stuff. The window position code is useless under Linux. If you can use GTK, you're within a WM. And, it seems that the geometry stuff is already fixed. It's been broken for so long that I didn't notice it wasn't anymore. I'll comment out the position stuff by default.

Re: SciTE CVS [FINISHED]

How come ScitE is no longer listed in pacman?

pacman -Ss scite
