libgnomekbd: dead man walking
Hi ppl With the recent developments related to input methods, libgnomekbd is effectively redundant. The only useful bit remaining is the layout preview widget. IMNSHO those bits can be quickly integrated into g-c-c without breaking things. I am not aware of any other project that would use libgnomekbd. If you know about such dependency - please please raise your voice!!! I discussed that with Rui, he generally agrees but there is valid concern about dependencies. The code will say in git (master and 3.4 branch), I just think the library should not be a part of 3.6 release - and there will be no further development. Anyone has any comments? Technically that should be a very cheap operation. Sergey PS libxklavier remains to be maintained, I know some people are using it ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

We can move the preview widgets, etc. for GNOME 3.8. Cheers ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: libgnomekbd: dead man walking
I don't want to move such a large amount of code without review or thorough testing, so I'd like it if libgnomekbd was still shipped in GNOME 3.6. There is only one .c and one .h file (and one small .ui). Is that a large amount of code? All other c/h files are dead code. Waste of builder's time.

Also past UI freeze, and I'm already busy trying to bug fix all the new features we added this cycle. That'll do. I'll do the releases if you don't want to do them... The UI freeze would not be broken - it will just be moved from one module to another. I can do the release, no problem. I just feel awkward releasing the library most of the code of which is dead...

Hello all, === TRACKER === Empty window in LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666749 Sadly this bug isn't something we can easily fix and we currently have a bit of a stale mate on it too. See the bug for more details. libsecret migrations https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679870 Rough unfinished patch available. Initial patch review from me done. Looks mostly complete. Just needs applying and testing. My preference to use async methods instead are not a blocking request to get this bug fixed. Will try to get this bug resolved and a release out ASAP. Might be a few days, still on vacation here for a bit. -- Regards, Martyn Founder and CEO of Lanedo GmbH. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Re: libgnomekbd: dead man walking
I would ask if the ~/.xmodmap support was not part of this? Or is it part of gnome-settings-daemon now? It was in g-s-d. Now it is in libxklavier. But since g-s-d these days is not using libxklavier, I do not know about the current state of .xmodmap support. Perhaps Rui can comment... ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
