Creating branches in git is cheap, as long as the branch is kept mergeable
with master. Going forward, gtk2 could also live in its own branch,
diverged from master development if there's an interest to continue
maintaining it, but I don't think there will be.

Thanks for the info on the final release, Detlef, wasn't aware of it,
actually. RIP gtk2!

That's certainly doable but note that once you do it you essentially create
a fork, and then maintaining both versions in parallel will be hard if not
impossible.

But as GTK 2 is getting very old though still maintained upstream, we should
probably do something here. The first and easy step would be to switch GTK
3 to default at build time.

I wonder how many Pan users still require GTK 2 these days?

Yeah this is a known issue, but note the server has been run by Chris
Lambin, one of the original Pan authors, for the past few decades and I
don't really have root access to it.

It only serves plain HTML though. Content updates are always welcome. I
keep the GitHub mirror here for those interested:

So there's an issue with that tarball caused by a renamed file that
prevents us from generating a proper distcheck tarball for
pan.rebelbase.com. 

We'll probably have to upload the GitLab one anyway to release archives as
it's all we have but FYI. 

Meanwhile I've fixed this issue and enforced running make distcheck in the
GitLab CI, so this doesn't happen again in the future:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/commit/e7cff2a132c28c4c6752fe20bf790dcb37f4488a
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/commit/d20d27dd6540757e49326ed9a5c6a244a62250c0

The next Pan version should have all of this fixed. Distributors, sorry for
the inconvenience.

[Pan-devel] ANN: Pan bugs migrated from Bugzilla to GitLab

[Petr Kovar]

Hi all,

FYI, GNOME sysadmins recently migrated all open Pan bugs from Bugzilla to
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/issues.

You can still access old Bugzilla bugs from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ but
they are now read-only. To file a new bug (issue) or comment on existing
bugs, log in to https://gitlab.gnome.org/ with your GitHub, GitLab or Gmail
account, or create a new one account.

[Pan-devel] pan repo renamed and migrated to gitlab.gnome.org

[Petr Kovar]

Hi all,

This is mostly a FYI for people using Pan from Git that following other
projects hosted on GNOME infrastructure, the pan2 git repo has been renamed
to pan and migrated to the GNOME GitLab instance at gitlab.gnome.org.

Redirects have been set up by the GNOME team, so if you have the repo
cloned, no action should be necessary and you can continue using your
clone.

You can update your clone config with the new URL:

git remote set-url origin g...@gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/pan.git

To clone the repo:

git clone g...@gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/pan.git

The rationale behind migrating to GitLab is that the new platform allows
for a GitHub-like contribution workflow with forking and submitting merge
requests, so there is no need to attach patches in Bugzilla or email
anymore.

The GitLab workflow:

Sign into GitLab, you can use your existing GitHub, GitLab.com or Gmail
account: 

https://gitlab.gnome.org/users/sign_in

Fork the pan repo:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/forks/new

Make your changes and submit a new merge request:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/merge_requests

Thaẗ́'s it!

Bug reports in Bugzilla are also going to be migrated to GitLab at a later
date. I'll also update the pan website with the new information when
everything is complete.

Thanks,
pk

  I was wondering what is others' take on Pan bug 693272?
 
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693272
 
  It indeed looks like we can't feature linking to a LGPLv3 library
  (gnutls2/3) due to the license incompatibility, which is very unfortunate.
 
  Getting permission from all code contributors to relicense the code to
  GPLv2 or later doesn't seem to be very realistic either.
 
 
 This sucks.
 I frankly didn't notice before, but perhaps we could license pan under 
 LGPL3?

I think that nowadays it's still the GPLv2 or later that would allow us to
use / link most GPL/LGPL software out there...

 I'm not familiar with the legal mumbo-jumno involved in this.
 Could you ask Charles / are you familiar with this ?

I'll try asking Charles on IRC. Will see.

Re: [Pan-devel] Feedback: New prefs dialog layout

[Petr Kovar]

Hi,

Some additional mostly nitpicking feedback. :-)

PREFERENCES

For the widgets placed before the text labels like Size of article cache,
File extension..., both items Minutes to... in Misc, and Default
bytes..., let's move these widgets after the text labels, to the right, so
they are placed consistently with widgets in other tabs, e.g. Colors or
Applications. The text labels should then obviously end with :, not .

The same for the Hotkeys tab. Also, let's not align the text labels
to the center, but to the left.

If we now have the option Show only icons.. available, why not also Show
only text...? We shouldn't let the user select both options though. :-)

Not sure if this has been already discussed, but the system tray
functionality doesn't work properly in GNOME Shell, although the Shell is
supposed to be compatible with libnotify (which is now deprecated in GNOME
3). E.g. Pidgin or other GTK+ 2 apps with libnotify support work as
expected with Shell. As a result, setting Pan to minimize to the tray
actually closes Pan.

Not sure if we need a special tab for single upload setting. Why not move
it to Misc as well?

Personally, I'm not much into exposing every possible option in the Pref
dialog (hi Duncan! :-), especially as for the Hotkeys settings, I'm pretty
sure people who are into modifying their hotkey preferences can surely
open the right text file in the text editor of their choice. And they
can even search quickly for the their hotkey setting in the text file, which
they cannot do in the GUI. I'd even guess that many advanced Pan users will
use their text editor regardless of what is exposed in the GUI. ;-)

HTML

One of the favorite topics here. :-) 

Currently, the HTML code is displayed in the body pane without any visual
separation from the plain text part. That's not very user-friendly.

I like the approach used in Sylpheed / Claws Mail: the HTML part of the
message is treated as an attachment so users can open the attachment (with a
web browser by default) directly in the client GUI.

Now that we have the Attachments bar below the body pane, I'd suggest
displaying there the HTMl part in the list of attachments/files, so users
can (double-)click and open it in the browser.

Of course, as with other options, this can be configurable. :-)

Anyway, keep up the good work, Heinrich!

Cheers,
Petr Kovar

The GNOME Translation Project manages Pan localization. So besides the
last French translator who contributed to Pan, you can also try to contact
the GNOME French translation team:

It's also good for avoiding duplicated work. ;-)

Re: [Pan-devel] ATTN: Testing is gone, all merged into master

Hi,

 Hi guys. I merged all the testing stuff into master. Feel free to test it 
 and leave bugs at bugzilla.

Thanks, Heinrich! I'm CC'ing the other Pan list, since there might be some
willing testers too. ;-)

Quite a significant problem is that we are now requiring very recent
versions of some components (GMIME_REQUIRED=2.6.0, GNUTLS_REQUIRED=3.0.9).
So e.g. on Fedora 16, you can't build and test Pan without manually
compiling and rebuilding some of the dependencies, because Fedora 16 ships
gmime-2.5 and gnutls-2.12. Not sure what's the situation on Ubuntu, but
we'll most likely face serious packaging problems if we choose to release a
new version based on the current master now. Any thoughts?


Some additional comments:

When compiled without the GNUTLS support, there are empty rows displayed in
the Edit and View menus in places where there are the appropriate GNUTLS
menu items displayed if the GNUTLS is supported.

In the Post Article dialog, if selecting Send and Save Articles to
NZB when the file queue is empty, an error message is displayed, but
clicking the Go Back button does nothing.

In the Select Parts dialog, I'd add a close button somewhere, possibly
to the bottom right corner.

The Pan Preferences dialog is already too big to fit in a 1024x768
resolution screen. So I'd take some of the advanced preferences like cache,
autosave, language and system tray, and possibly merge them into the Upload
tab, then rename the tab to Advanced or similar.


I also fixed some capitalization issues in the master branch.

Petr Kovar

 Hi Petr.
 I'm done, except for the the text filter which gives me some headaches.
 The rest should work...

Excellent, thank you!

Some other things I've spotted:

When you select a group and open it, the Welcome to pan tab (I'd rephrase
the app name to Pan) is not closed automatically. I suggest replacing the
welcome tab with the tab of a group that is being opened.

I'd rephrase the text label to something like Welcome to Pan. To start
newsreading, select a group or add a news server. Just nitpicking here,
anyway. :)

As with Firefox and other popular apps with tabs, I'd like to be able to
configure switching to a newly opened tab automatically. And perhaps make
the automatic switching default.

I'd be nice to have the display of the whole tab bar configurable as well.

The changing of the currently selected group based on the active tab still
doesn't work for me when moving between tabs, unfortunately. 

Also, the close buttons on tabs are still huge, maybe this is related to
GTK+ themes or so, and not to Pan code directly? I can surely live with
that, just saying.

Thanks again,
Petr Kovar

Re: [Pan-devel] New icon for Pan?

[Petr Kovar]

Hi all!

Duncan , Thu, 23 Jun 2011 19:16:16 + (UTC):

(...)

 But that's getting the cart a bit before the horse.  PKovar is the keeper 
 of the official repo, and aside from his own personal opinion, I suppose 
 he'd be most interested in two things, what KHaley thinks, and how it 
 might fit within the Gnome guidelines.  About the latter I've not the 
 foggiest, tho PKovar may well have some clue.

What I'd like to say is that I like the picture, but at the same time I'd
prefer not to use any paid image sources for Pan. Not that I want to
discourage anybody from buying anything, however, at least we'd have to make
sure that the image in question is licensed under GPL or GPL-compatible
license. That's a hard requirement for us as Pan itself is free software.

There are no other GNOME guidelines out there apart from the licensing
requirements, we are free to do whatever we want with Pan, since Pan is not
an official part of the GNOME Desktop, it only uses GNOME infrastructure,
to a degree, that is.

Other than that, the contest sounds like a good idea!
