Please, also have a look to my TODO list of old-skool activities: == Bernie's Retro Activities == XaoS SoundTracker GrafX2 Golly Mame Geeki TextEdit Of these, I only ported XaoS--it's on ASLO. For SoundTracker, I have an unfinished port to GTK2... It would need some more work. All the others are straight-forward. To ease porting non-native software, we should implement the startup-notification protocol in Sugar. Currently, Sugar uses a custom handshake protocol which requires activities to do set custom atoms in their main window and talk over DBus. There's a "sugarize" wrapper script which fools Sugar, but it's hardly an ideal solution. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Your patch seems to have the same issue of my fix: if someone changes the title and presses ctrl-w before 1 second, the title does not update. Moreover, like in the current code in git, sometimes you get a spurious save while you're typing, causing your keystroke to be lost and the cursor to be reset to the beginning of the field. Tomeu's testcase proved that gtk delivers focus-out-event reliably with normal buttons. We need to figure out why it doesn't seem to be the case in toolbars. Maybe we could add a few prints in the callbacks. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I would love if one of these demos (running in, say, 2% of CPU time) could replace the boot-time animation. Should much more interesting than our present incredibly staid bootup. Bonus points, of course, if the same demo is available in some Activity for students to dissect. --Ben signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] icon-slicer and sugar-artwork
Hi All, Sebastian and I are going through the various build requires to get sugar built for EPEL-6 and in the process I was looking at the requirements for sugar-artwork. It currently needs icon-slicer but I think its an old dep that is still in configure.ac but no longer used, if I drop it out of configure.ac and rebuilt it all builds OK without it. I think icon-slicer is an old dep from older gtk engine/theme requirement that is no longer used. Can someone confirm this, and if so verify the patch looks OK?

It will fail, but in a non-obvious way. Here's the relevant part of the build log after applying your patch and removing icon-slicer from the system: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar-artwork/cursor/sugar' image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar ../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme /bin/bash: image-dir=../../cursor/sugar: No such file or directory make[3]: [sugar.stamp] Error 127 (ignored) Let's take a look at the corresponding make rule: sascha.si...@xo-bine:~/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar-artwork$ grep -B 1 -A 2 ICON_SLICER cursor/sugar/Makefile.am sugar.stamp: $(sugar_images) $(THEMEGEN) sugar.cursortheme $(ICON_SLICER) --image-dir=$(IMAGE_DIR) --output-dir=$(OUTPUT_DIR) $(IMAGE_DIR)/sugar.cursortheme touch sugar.stamp Since ICON_SLICER is never set, $(ICON_SLICER) will expand to the empty string. So the line make tries to execute is: --image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar ../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme A leading minus means "ignore the exit status of this command" and will be removed prior to executing the command. Apparently the second minus is stripped as well, so make will try to execute image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar ../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme and ignore the exit status. See Debian #555963 for what will happen at runtime if icon-slicer doesn't work (or isn't installed).

Interesting, icon-slicer is only a build time dep in Fedora and so isn't installed at runtime. Unless you mean build time in referring to run time?
