I'm not that bothered at all, but we might have to provide automake support for this if it becomes too much of a problem. Or better yet, rewrite the thing in python3. -- Thomas Adam
Re: Changes in which regards dependency tree
The moment you told me what to look for, I found it. So, thank you again. Someone thought that adding a "perl" use flag would be cool, for the sake of customization. The fact is that, by giving users the power to disable that, they also broke FvwmConsole. I have no idea how no one noticed this before. I will be proposing to eliminate that flag, along with all the ugly hacks they added to the ebuild just to save a couple kb by removing a couple pm files here and there. Hopefully the Gentoo ebuild for 2.6.7 will be simpler and less hack-ish. 2016-11-08 0:17 GMT+01:00 Jesús J. Guerrero Botella : > The moment you told me what to look for, I found it.

Do your build options not build with libperl (not sure on this) depends? I don't know enough to think what option this can be. Check what build options were detected. The configure option uses FvwmPerl and FvwmForm to open a gui a user can select options for building the menu.

In this case I would considered them optional dependencies. The default-config will work if stalonetray is not installed (in this case there is just no systemtray in the panel). The python dependency is only for the fvwm-menu-desktop script and xdg menus. Since this seems to be the standard menu system it should be added if you want users to have menus work without having to install extra packages. So without the python dependency and a .menu file, system menus cannot be generated via the script. Note that fvwm-menu-desktop also requires a .menu file, as fvwm does not provide one. You may want to add a dependency to some gentoo package that provides a .menu for the user to use as well. In the Debian package I have put these as recommended packages (both python-xdg, stalonetray and a menu (lxde menu is the one I like the best in Debian)), but not required depends. jaimos
Multiple python versions
Hello again. It seems fvwm-menu-desktop is written for python2. In gentoo, to make this work nowadays, you need to modify the bang to #/usr/bin/python2, otherwise, the default python 3.x interpreter is fired and the menu fails miserably. I am not sure that's ok for all distros and OSes out there so I will leave the concrete solution to someone who knows better. Just reporting... I should probably add python 2.x to the dependencies for fvwm. In Gentoo that's not a big deal though. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
Changes in which regards dependency tree
Hi everyone! Regarding the dependency tree, I guess the latest changes added a dependency on pyxdg and stalonetray for the new configuration that fvwm ships by default. Is there something else that has been added or removed at lib level? I know gtk+1 has gone for good, but that's long gone from the Gentoo tree anyway, so I don't care about it. I only need to remove the gnome and gtk related flags that were forced in the ebuild. Same goes the other way for png, since that seems to be mandatory now, correct? I looked around the news (and anyway I've been seeing everything that has happened in the fvwm lists so I already knew what was coming). Just wanted to check that I am not forgetting something... Thank you beforehand for any help. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
