International Space Station Images

2006-09-19 Thread Maxim Udushlivy

The International Space Station (ISS) is a manned research space
facility that is being assembled in orbit around the Earth. It is a
joint project between five space agencies: the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA, United States), the Russian Federal Space
Agency (RKA, Russian Federation), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA, Japan), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA, Canada) and the European
Space Agency (ESA, Europe)

Hal version for GNOME 2.17

2006-09-19 Thread Tshepang Lekhonkhobe
Hi,
I just saw on this page
 http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies
that the Hal version for GNOME 2.17 is 0.5.7, yet GNOME Power Manager
2.17.1 requires Hal 0.5.8. Has the page not been updated yet?

Not quite. gnome-power-manager *requires* 0.5.6, works better with
0.5.7, but if you provide 0.5.8 then lots of cool extra stuff starts
happening. New stuff includes cpu frequency scaling support and better
LCD integration.

I think the decision was to base 2.17 on 0.5.8[.x] as this is *vastly*
better than 0.5.7 but this is my own impression only.

Jeff, we are not interested in your proposals right now is also a good 
reply. I do not insist on anything, really. I admit that I used such

done) until someone gets the build issues worked out.  Once they are
worked out, I fully agree with allowing the requirement to be bumped.
Worth noting is that if other Gnome modules decide to bump their
dependency before the build issues are worked out, then I'd prefer to
(temporarily, I hope) revert to 2.16.x versions of those modules.

I need to go push that proposal a bit and try to make it official...

another about GTK+.

the diagram. There is something called UI Library Project Ridely under 
Gnome Platform section. At the same time Gnome Bindings lists GTK+ 
wrappers using their full names.

It seems to me that Gnome is digging a grave for GTK+. What attitude can

Umm no. I get frequent bug reports for gnome-power-manager that are
really bugs in HAL that were fixed *months* ago. I would go as far to
say that my bugs/week value would halve if there was a hard dep on
0.5.8. You really want to see the hal ChangeLog and look for power and
battery - there are lots of changes in the last year or so.

If you want gnome-power-manager to use CPU scaling support, with all the
enhancements and bugfixes, then the real dependency is 0.5.8.

For HEAD, I've just upped the gtk+ requirement to 2.10 and dropped
eggtrayicon support. Why? Because of the bugs in eggtrayicon and the
better solution of GtkStatusIcon. That's pretty aggressive (you need a
development distro, jhbuild or garnome to build the HEAD at the moment)
but relying on multiple layers of #ifdefs is really bad for testing.

On that matter, there's about 50 lines of obsolete code in various
classes of g-p-m that can be removed if the HAL dep is increased.

My opinion is to aim to use 0.5.8.[x] for 2-17 as by the release date of
GNOME 2.18, most of the distros will be releasing  0.5.6 version of
HAL.

It's not fair to ask of maintainers add GtkStatusIcon enhancements but
also keep the ~15 #ifdefs around for users of eggtrayicon even though
stable distros are not going to release gtk+ 2.10 package updates.

Also, Elijah mentioned about the build issues... Anyone got any links to
specific problems?. Thanks.

Richard.

p.s. Sorry if that read like a rant, it has been a _long_ day! :-)

Your chances improve as soon as you try to understand how the thing
works, instead of throwing stuff around.

 Scroll down to Near future - the 2.16 platform and try to find GTK+ on

That is really confusing - even to me.  I assume that the author of the
diagram wanted to convey the idea of GTK+ after Project Ridley is
completed using a placeholder name instead of GTK+ + everything that
survived or has been created under the Project Ridley umbrella.

But you're lucky: GNOME Live! is a wiki, and it's very probable that the
author of that page is getting notification for changes; so, if you want
a clarification on what the page says you just have to add a note to it,
or mail the author directly.

  At the same time Gnome Bindings lists GTK+ 
 wrappers using their full names.
 
 It seems to me that Gnome is digging a grave for GTK+. What attitude can 
 you expect from me now?

If you had looked at the Project Ridley page on the very same wiki[1]
you'd have seen that Project Ridley is an ongoing project involving
GTK+ and some GNOME libraries.  When Ridley is declared complete, and we
have achieved its goals, the result will always be GTK+ but in turn
we'll have a bunch of other libraries plus a whole bunch of deprecated
stuff.

So, the attitude we can expect from a person whom wants to contribute
something to GNOME in terms of organisation and policies is to try and
understand the current organisation, policies and goals; and only after
that, proposing to change something (complete with a nice road map and
rationales for every point).

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.

Hi Maxim,

I think I probably came across too harshly in my previous email.  I'm

Yes, it's at the very base, all our apps depend on it, we love it, and
we're trying to remove other libraries in Gnome and instead making
them part of GTK+.

 How can you explain this page:
 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArchitecture/Overview

I had no knowledge that it existed; it looks to me like Nickolay is
just trying to make some high-level description of the documentation
for others.  It looks like a very good first cut.  You might want to
give him any suggestions for improvement that you have.

 It seems to me that Gnome is digging a grave for GTK+. What attitude can

It almost seems like you're looking for a fight.  Why?  What's the
point in grabbing some obscure page written by a single person (append
?action=info to the url to see the list of changes and who made
them), trying to find something that you might be able to construe as
showing devious intent (rather than asking the author of the page what
he actually intended; I strongly doubt Nickolay had any such
intentions), and then ascribing that position to all of Gnome to boot?
 And, as far as I can tell, you have done so without asking any GTK+
developers whether they feel this way (I'm pretty certain they'd say
the opposite, knowing several of them and having made a couple small
contributions myself).  Your claim that Gnome is trying to dig a grave
for GTK+ is preposterous, to say the least.

 Also you said that I myself was involved in bureaucracy and politics.
 No, I wasn't.

In the last three weeks or so, you proposed that the project should
create a different leadership structure[1], that we should abandon
free/open source software as ideals[2], and that the HIG should be
discarded (I disagree with HIG existence[3]).  How exactly is that
not spending your time on bureaucracy and politics?

 I don't understand many things about Free Desktops and
 before Gideon can be contributed (if ever) I think I also have rights to
 evaluate Gnome for the subject of being a comfortable place for me
 personally.

Absolutely.  May I suggest that an effective way to learn about Gnome
is to get involved with the various projects that make up Gnome?  (It
seems to have worked well for me, anyway)  Just browse on over to
http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome, and follow the links from there.  Not
only are there many projects that can make use of your development
skills, there's also a lot of non-coding projects that you can join as
well.  I believe you have skills that could help a lot of projects on
both sides of the spectrum.

  This of course is only one example. I submit this is a trade off and it

 No, this issue is bigger than target audience.  Testers, documenters,
 and developers often need a development version of GNOME to get their
 work done.  Requiring them to have very recent versions of nearly
 everything on their system is much too high a bar.  In fact, the
 building bar is so high right now that I believe nearly everything
 else in GNOME is currently suffering; the difficulty of building GNOME
 has even taken a large amount of time from some of the more
 experienced developers.  (Note that I'm by no means just blaming HAL
 here; we have lots of issues.  External dependencies in general have
 been the biggest problems in the build area in the recent past, thus
 the proposal to stop depending on cvs versions of those.)

Right. As GNOME is being increasingly integrated with things like the
kernel, HAL, X.org and so forth this is understandable. To me it's still
pretty simple

 - if we want GNOME to be on the bleeding edge wrt. using new technology
   we accept that GNOME packages may depend on very recent external
   dependencies. For example, making 2.18 depend on the HAL 0.5.9 that
   will be out in December.

 - If we want to be more conservative we don't do this. I've raised a
   few scenarios in earlier mails about this. To sum up

   - You'll have ugly #ifdef's in code for several code paths for
 supporting several versions of D-Bus, HAL or whatever. No one
 really wants this

   - It suddenly becomes a huge liability to be part of the GNOME
 release - can't speak for Richard per se, but really, g-p-m largely
 depends on new features in HAL. Too bad he's stuck on HAL 0.5.7
 now, that CPU frequency thing looked interesting

   - Personally, in the past, I've done some development on GNOME
 features in g-v-m, gnome-vfs and whatnot and sending those patches
 to the list before a release. I'll continue to do this but I'll
 probably won't bother sending them to the list until the next
 GNOME development release opens - they will be sitting in the 
 Fedora SRPM and we're back to distributors having increasingly
 big patch sets.

   - Distributors having large patch sets leads to other well-known
 bad things.

I fully hear what you are saying about testers, documentation people,
GNOME developers and application developers wanting to develop on a
recent GNOME. Previously, and today even, the answer for these people
have been things like jhbuild and GARNOME. In today's world where we
increasingly integrate with external projects this can lead to pretty
strange bugs as I've also outlined earlier.

Don't want to flame or anything, but perhaps things like GARNOME can
move to a live-cd / live-usb approach of delivering their software so
users have the right external deps... I mean, there are several good
tools from the distributions to do just this; for example I hear good
things about the Ubuntu live CD infrastructure (Fedora needs to catch up
there but that's another discussion). 

It's also useful to point out that several vendors including Debian,
Ubuntu, Fedora and SUSE are pretty quick at putting new GNOME
development releases out. Perhaps pointing testers to such trees is not
a bad idea, it's not like having  1 OS on a single system is something
new.

So holding back new and useful features in the name of some people are
running old OS'es is just bad. Sorry if this comes across as a flame. I
just don't want GNOME to miss out great new stuff.

 Hi,
 I just saw on this page
 http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies
 that the Hal version for GNOME 2.17 is 0.5.7, yet GNOME Power Manager
 2.17.1 requires Hal 0.5.8. Has the page not been updated yet?
 Not quite. gnome-power-manager *requires* 0.5.6, works better with
 0.5.7, but if you provide 0.5.8 then lots of cool extra stuff starts
 happening. New stuff includes cpu frequency scaling support and better
 LCD integration.

 I think the decision was to base 2.17 on 0.5.8[.x] as this is *vastly*
 better than 0.5.7 but this is my own impression only.

   Please, don't inflate GNOME dependences on non-technical merit. If
 some program can be compiled with library version X, it's NOT OK to
 depend on library version X+1 or X+2.
   G-P-M is good example: its real dependency is HAL 0.5.6. Requiring
 higher version is unfair to users.

New users don't care about stability. They want features. To be honest I
also prefer features over stability, and, if HAL 0.5.8 is stable enough
by that time and works on most systems, I see no reason to not bump the
dependency. But then again, what about those who then complain when it
doesn't work? I can definitely see your point, but what size is that
minority of users for whom it may not work? I know nothing of HAL, but
this is my perception of the community.

My main suggestion is a position of a Gnome Moderator. It's difficult to

 Scroll down to Near future - the 2.16 platform and try to find GTK+ on
 the diagram. There is something called UI Library Project Ridely under
 Gnome Platform section. At the same time Gnome Bindings lists GTK+
 wrappers using their full names.

 It seems to me that Gnome is digging a grave for GTK+. What attitude can
 you expect from me now?

 It almost seems like you're looking for a fight.  Why?  What's the
 point in grabbing some obscure page written by a single person (append
 ?action=info to the url to see the list of changes and who made
 them), trying to find something that you might be able to construe as
 showing devious intent (rather than asking the author of the page what
 he actually intended; I strongly doubt Nickolay had any such
 intentions), and then ascribing that position to all of Gnome to boot?
 And, as far as I can tell, you have done so without asking any GTK+
 developers whether they feel this way (I'm pretty certain they'd say
 the opposite, knowing several of them and having made a couple small
 contributions myself).  Your claim that Gnome is trying to dig a grave
 for GTK+ is preposterous, to say the least.

A fight because bullsh*t is a cancer. For another example check this 
review that puts gtkmm not only above other wrappers but almost on one 
level with GTK+ itself:
http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/928

This article is a direct result of gtkmm presentation that tries to 
expose that wrapper as a savior by lowering GTK+. This cancer is being 
spread for years and the campaign has a deafening success, I myself was 
hypnotized once.

 Also you said that I myself was involved in bureaucracy and politics.
 No, I wasn't.

 In the last three weeks or so, you proposed that the project should
 create a different leadership structure[1], that we should abandon
 free/open source software as ideals[2], and that the HIG should be
 discarded (I disagree with HIG existence[3]).  How exactly is that
 not spending your time on bureaucracy and politics?

[1] - I proposed a change in a leadership but I was not proposing myself 
as a leader. And this is not even a change in a leadership, but an 
extension: additional position above current structures, a Moderator
[2] - I don't understand how does this abandon foss ideals.

GNOME is like a commune. Everyone involved in the community is at some
level, a moderator. We don't need an official moderator person. What
a boring job that would be.

 My next point is that Gnome and GTK+ should part their ways (like Qt and 
 KDE which are separate entities). I tried to explain rationales in my 
 letter:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-devel-list@gnome.org/msg06771.html

GNOME and GTK+ *ARE* separate. GNOME is a platform that depends on GTK+.
KDE is a platform that depends on QT. What's the difference here?
