Dave Malcolm was looking at an underlying GTK (or maybe GDK?) bug this weekend at FUDCon if memory serves. I'll also do what I can for existing bugs in my Copious Spare Time(tm). You might be interested in knowing that we had some discussion at FUDCon about extending my PulseCaster project (currently only functional in the most gracious sense) to cover more 'casting needs while maintaining a simple, usable interface: * Newscast -- single person audio, e.g. reading the news * Screencast -- single person audio + desktop screencap * Interview -- multi-person audio * App discussion or instruction -- multi-person audio + one desktop screencap * Save to file or send to streaming server I'm planning on spending some time on the project as part of my Christmas vacation. We had a lot of great ideas for how this functionality will work, but I do want some UI review for it including comparing it to GNOME HIG. -- Paul W.

I poked upstream prior to F11 and the developer responded saying he was getting back to it soon but I haven't seen much activity. Up to this point I've tried to at least tell the Ubuntu maintainer about any patches I add since its not clear how to submit patches to upstream. What I'd like to do is get the different distro maintainers together as a group form a game plan on setting up a new dvcs trunk for the project and then politely tell the existing upstream we want to move ahead with his blessing and have him as a contributor. It's an aging codebase and it needs to transition to using the newer gvfs stuff versus the older gnomevfs stuff... at a minimum. I don't want to do that as a set of downstream patches in Fedora. And until I get back from the other side of the world I can't commit to being a new upstreamsadly. If you want to get that conversation started...you have my blessing. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

This made me prick up my ears, as I keep my entire gigantic password database in revelation. What kind of development does it actually need? Dead upstream or not, it seems to work fine.

Re: Request for help maintaining packages while away.
It's making use of some deprecated functionality for example gnomevfs which really should be ported to the newer gvfs stuff. There are probably some pygtk/gtk-isms which need to be updated. I'm willing to carry this as downstream patches if I have to but I really don't want to do that. Less critically for basic operation... the export functionality needs love. I'm not willing to carry this as downstream patches as I view the export functionality as a nice-to-have feature and not critical. I'm more inclined to just patch it to keep export from crashing on error than actually fix the export to work as a downstream only patch. There's some subtle problems with language support... which I'm personally ill-equipped to work through as a US English speaker (and barely at that). Crasher bug and something I'm willing to hold as downstream only patches if needed. -jef On 12/11/09, Adam Williamson wrote: > On Wed, 2009-12-09 at 12:38 -0900, Jeff Spaleta wrote: >> On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 12:26 PM, Paul W.

Well, I suppose a little ironically, if revelation were to die, the 'export' functionality would likely be the _most_ critical bit :) > There's some subtle problems with language support... which I'm > personally ill-equipped to work through as a US English speaker (and > barely at that).
