[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
I'm sorry to say that the conclusion of this saga is that abiword 2.6 will not be included in Ubuntu 8.04.1. There are simply too many changes that have to be made to the rest of the archive to accomodate it, given that this is a package in main, and that would be too disruptive for a stable release update, above and beyond the rule- bending we would be doing to accomodate a major new upstream version. I would encourage the interested parties to request a backport of abiword to 8.04 by filing a bug against the hardy-backports project. ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: In Progress => Won't Fix Target: ubuntu-8.04.1 => None -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ah, I was not aware it wasn't registering mimetypes - I thought with the
sheer number of places I had to update the list of mimetypes we
supported in the package that I had gotten that taken care of.

Can I just remove it then? (We've used fontconfig for longer than that,
I believe) My basic principle was "don't rock the boat too much" for
Hardy - for Intrepid I have a lot of changes to make.

Those aren't dictionaries, but extra data needed by AbiWord. We use
Enchant for the actual dictionaries, and with the size and such of those
files in comparison with the headaches that would come out of splitting
them, I'll leave them in.

Plugins should not be thought about by the end user. They are plugins
(not in the core) sheerly for developer convenience, and except when
there is a compelling reason not to, should always be included with the
main package. As such, I am leaving all those plugins in there.

There used to be an abiword-common package (which it doesn't seem to
replace, right now, if you upgrade it manually using synaptic) that I
was under the impression was just to save space between the GTK and
GNOME versions. If there is a reasonable reason (and it looks like
there might be) to bring it back even with only one front end version
(save space between arches), I can bring this back.
Just as an item to mention here, for Intrepid I'd like to get rid of all
plugin packages, since it does not help the end user to have them split
and that is the trend with other distributions packaging AbiWord.
However, right now I'm focusing on taking care of issues with the Hardy
package and backporting it to the PPA-supported distributions.

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
I've noticed some bugs in latest abiword packages (2.6.3-0ubuntu1+ppa1)
from https://launchpad.net/~abiword-stable/+archive/
1. abiword should register Mimetypes, provided in
/usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop files in package postinst script -
these lines should be in abiword postinst script:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && which update-desktop-database >/dev/null 2>&1 ;
then
update-desktop-database -q
This can be done automatically, adding "include
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/gnome.mk" (if you use cdbs) or "dh_desktop" (if you use
only debhelper) to debian/rules, look for example at eog package's debian/rules
2. I don't understand why preinst script is needed for abiword - AFAIK
current abiword uses fontconfig since 2.4, so, no need to call defoma-
app purge in abiword 2.6.
3. For easy upgrading from abiword-gnome package abiword should have
abiword-gnome (<< 2.6.0) in Conflicts section and, also, provide virtual
abiword-gnome package (just add line "Provides: abiword-gnome" in
debian/control file)
4. Why dictionary files, like /usr/share/abiword-2.6/dictionary/ca-ES-
barbarism.xml are distributed in main abiword package ? AFAIK less than
2 percents of AbiWord users will need Catalonian barbarism :)
5. abiword package contains too many plugins, some plugins should be moved to
abiword-plugins package, at least rarely used plugins, which depends on several
external libraries, like aiksaurus (depends on libaiksaurus-1.2-0c2a and
libaiksaurusgtk-1.2-0c2a). I would also move AbiCollab plugin from abiword to
plugins package, it depends on additional libraries, like libloudmouth1-0.
abiword-plugins package is recommended by abiword package, so, it will be
automatically installed for most people, who install abiword - see Debian
packaging policy,
http://debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps :
"Recommends declares a *strong*, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with
this one in all but unusual installations."
6. Also I'm suggesting to move architecture-independent data (all files from
/usr/share/abiword-2.6/ - strings, templates, glade, clipart, etc - about 7MB)
from abiword package to abiword-data or abiword-common package, this will save
disk space on Debian/Ubuntu mirrors, also will take other benefits, see
http://debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-archindepdata
:
[..]if the size of the data is considerable, consider splitting it out into a
separate, architecture-independent package ("_all.deb"). By doing this, you
avoid needless duplication of the same data into eleven or more .debs, one per
each architecture.[..]

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
The tendency to split packages is a debian/ubuntu thing that sometimes catches users (and developers!) off guard if you're unaware of it -- the primary reason, IIRC, is to allow people to save space by removing parts of software they don't need. (For example, there are separate linux- image- (kernel image only), linux-headers- (kernel headers only), and linux-source- (kernel source only) packages in Ubuntu/Debian.) This is useful for e.g. embedded systems (Debian targets, I think, about 11 archs; some of which are for smaller form factors) and live CDs/DVDs and other places where space is tight. http://packages.ubuntu.com/ provides an interface to allow searching for existing packages, as well as the contents of existing packages. (For Debian, http://packages.debian.org/ is similar -- AFAIK the two are based on the same codebase.) I found poppler-utils by searching for packages which contained "pdftoabw" on that page. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Scrolling bit has already been mentioned - it's something weird with Ubuntu only, will take a look later though I fear it's lower in the stack than Abi and so I have little experience debugging down there. Fixed the bug issues in the changelog. (formatting and location) I tried to find the appropriate formatting before I made that, but google only found me contradicting examples, so I picked one that looked authoritative. Ditched the libgoffice - see above discussion. The reason it "worked"with 2.4.6 is because the configure will just disable plugins whose deps aren't satisfied - there is no actual libgoffice plugin installed on 2.4.6-3ubuntu3 (I checked). There is no way it will work with 0.6 until we get a cairo backend and move to/add gtkprint instead of libgnomeprint. Fixed line length - another example of following bad examples. All wrapped to 72 or less. Poppler: We now look for pdftotext or pdftoabw (which come with poppler) at runtime, there is actually no build dep I found out. (The corresponding code was moved over to poppler.) For the issues that are just changelog formatting, I re-formatted the changelog. For the actual changes, I added a new changelog entry, 0ubuntu2. Hopefully this was the right thing to do - asked in ubuntu- devel but it seems my time zones don't line up. New package should be on my PPA.

IMHO it is easier to read if all relevant changelog entries are condensed into one version, since the PPA versions are not relevant for the main Ubuntu archive.

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Now replying to Daniel, who posted while I wrote this one: AbiWord Common: This one is easy - in 2.6 we eliminated the difference between the gnome and gtk-only builds of AbiWord. The only difference is now a configure switch for gnomevfs, and given that I have used an AbiWord "non-gnomevfs" build on the GVFS FUSE fallback with much more success than over gnomevfs, I have disabled gnomevfs in all cases to provide the best user experience. As such, there was no longer a need for the abiword/abiword-gnome and abiword-common schism, and so the packaging has been simplified to only have the single AbiWord package, plus docs, plugins that bring in extra dependencies, and plugins that bring in GNOME dependencies. AbiWord Plugins - yes, it lost a lot of content because I have moved most plugins (those that don't bring in large or unreasonable depenedencies) into the main AbiWord package. This includes ODT import/export, OOXML import, and more. The plugin/core distinction, in most cases, is development-only, and should not be construed to require separate packaging downstream. In this case, we were getting a _lot_ of bugs complaining about the lack of ODT support in Ubuntu's AbiWord while it was in fact just that the abiword-plugins package is not an obvious thing to install to get what is becoming essential file format support. This fixes a host of Launchpad bugs and dupes. plugins-gnome - Hmm, it should have a goffice plugin in it now, but here's the deal there. Since AbiWord uses libgnomeprint since we don't have a Cairo backend yet, we need a 0.4 release of libgoffice. In ppa18 I fixed this so it should have built and picked this up. I see I somehow missed a change to the abiword-plugins-gnome.files list, and so ppa19 will have this plugin moved there. However, I anticipate this package going empty or perhaps becoming its own source package in Universe for 2.6, because at this time, the only gnome plugins are: GDA - unmaintained, requires an ancient version of libgda, not recommended for use gnomescan - requires libgnomescan which is in Universe, and furthermore my initial build tests with it were not successful. goffice - requires an older version of goffice which is in Universe but does in fact work. To remove this plugin, just remove the libgoffice-0-dev build-dep and the plugin will disable automatically. I did not want to remove it yet to avoid chaos in case we did get a GNOME plugin working and to minimize the number of "optional" changes. Dev files: Yes, that's for the abiwidget embedding of AbiWord, used by Sugar's (OLPC/XO) Write application. After checking again with the maintainers upstream, we don't want a abiword-dev package for 2.6, though we will for 2.7/8. As I believe there is work to have a sugar emulator in Ubuntu, I did not remove these files in the packaging process. RE: Debian - from what I saw earlier in this bug the Debian maintainer is MIA. However, I'd be more than happy to work with that individual to move this packaging work "upstream" so to speak to Debian. Most of the changes were in fact necessary, considering the improvements to the build system and the application in general that 2.6 brought. (2.8 will bring even more - an entirely new, sane autoconf build system and a essentially unified source tree, so in that case we'll want to plan ahead and get a 2.7 in during the alpha cycle.) I did my best to work within the framework of the existing packaging, while ensuring Ubuntu didn't miss out on the improvements brought by upstream during this cycle. I'd suggest that the new package is in fact simpler (make install now does "the right thing" so we use it instead of doing a lot of manual file copying prone to introducing picky packaging errors) and easier to maintain, and I would have done more simplification except that I know that such changes would probably not be accepted. I do plan to "stick around" and maintain this package, updating/applying patches and ensuring that an updated AbiWord is in future Ubuntu releases as well. During the Intrepid cycle, I'd like to clean up the package more, and during intrepid or intrepid+1 introduce 2.7/8 depending on upstream release timings. I won't be going away :) Thanks for the feedback - I am pushing ppa19 right now with the goffice fix.

Many of the patches were obsoleted by the improvements to the build system in 2.6, so they didn't apply any more: 01_aaa_fix_plugins_m4 (in the 2.4.6 package but not in 00list!) 01_relibtoolize 02_no_pedantic_configure 09_bad_MANIFEST_omission The language patches are obsolete due to string updates and countless translation updates: 13_base_strings 15_pt_BR_string_fix 17_de_string_fix (If a fix here is needed it should be brought upstream. It looks like 13 does some changes with adding a "language" called base, but as I don't see translation packages for AbiWord or other external force which would require this change, I'm not sure what use it is, as we automatically do a fallback process to the most reasonable language given the user's regional settings. I removed it in favor of using what works upstream.) Other removed patches: 03_workaround_for_ots - Obsoleted by upstream - pretty sure a similar patch was applied. 10_browser_handling - A better, simpler fix is upstream 11_history_fullpath - A better, simpler fix is upstream 18_new_poppler and poppler06-api - both obsoleted by upstream - I can't even see where they used to apply in those source files, which I think were re-written I left the two Ubuntu patches that change behavior: 04_autosave_default and 14_comma_subscript. I also needed to add one patch to adjust the build system of the abiword-extras source directory, formerly known as abidistfiles. In addition, following the lead of my fellow AbiWord packagers in other distributions, I have added a patch to the upstream .desktop file adding in (most) of the mimetypes supported by the package. When possible and reasonable, I eliminated duplication in the packaging in favor of upstream code that does the same thing (for instance, the inclusion of a desktop file in the orig tarball) to reduce the future maintenance load and avoid code and effort duplication.

There are a few issues I found in the packaging changes:
- My main concern is that there are a lot of changes that put us in a position
where it will be harder to merge with Debian. My gut feeling is that we could
package 2.6.2 in a less intrusive way and if there are changes that should be
in the packaging, do them during Intrepid and coordinate with the Debian
maintainer.
- What is the reason behind dropping abiword-common?
- abiword-plugins seems to have lost a lot of plugins: Installed-Size:
[-2332-] {+524+}
- abiword-plugins-gnome seems to be empty.
- The new abiword ships header files and .la files.
Other than that I appreciate the work you guys put into making abiword
kick ass!

The View, Presentation is a little bug that should be forwarded upstream, shouldn't be too tough to get a solution and I can easily backport that patch or what have you. I'd file the unicode bit too - I'm not sure how likely that is to be fixed soon, but it's definitely good to know, and I might be mistaken about its soon-fixing probability. The grammar checker we use (link-grammar) is barely a grammar check, it's mostly a language parser, so you see highlighted the bits that don't parse. It has no suggestions to offer, hence why you can't get to them. There are no other open-source grammar checkers that suit our purposes, at least as of 2.4, though the code is designed that if one comes up, say, by 2.8 or the next release, it could be integrated.

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Just some notes from a quick review of the installed binary packages... Other than a few minor polish items, this series of packages seems to be very fast and stable. Someone who actually uses Abiword should check them out, since they'll likely be able to do so in more depth than I can cover, _but_, I can say this: I would use Abiword for my next paper if I had to use a word processor at all. One thing I did notice: “View→Presentation” says “TODO: This menu item doesn't have a StatusMessage defined”. Another thing that I noticed is that when entering Unicode characters directly (e.g., using the GNOME Ctrl+Shift+u entry method to input unicode characters) you cannot tell that the code point being typed is actually the code point and not normal text entry. I don't know how that is handled by the application (or not?) but when you do it in GNOME Terminal, for example, the code point is underlined as you type it. Otherwise, that functionality works just fine. Also, how does one get at the grammar checker so as to see /why/ there is green text under a passage? (Or is it intentionally not possible?) To sum it up, though, the only issues that I noticed at all were issues of tiny details which could use some polish. It looks like a great release, IMHO, and assuming that others think so, I think it should wind up in Hardy. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see now looking at the build logs that I will have to write up another MIR for libwv-1.2.

(In the 2.4 release tarballs, it was included - aka duplicated - in the source, so I don't see why there would be an issue with the MIR. It is actively maintained and improved.)

Based on the existing 2.4.6 Ubuntu packages (somewhat) and my first-hand knowledge of AbiWord development, I have produced new Ubuntu packages of AbiWord 2.6.0 and now 2.6.2 which fixes some basic issues in the 2.6.0 release and reduces dependencies. I've uploaded them to my PPA - https://launchpad.net/~cezpi4y02/+archive (These packages also fix the numerous packaging bugs referring to missing plugins by default by folding in all plugins that don't increase dependencies, and I have eliminated the abiword-gtk and abiword-gnome difference, with just a single abiword package encompassing binaries and the old abiword-common, since in 2.6 there is no gnome-specific core features aside from gnomevfs. Due to GVFS FUSE fallback in Hardy, I have left gnomevfs disabled in these AbiWord builds for a better user experience.)

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Status => Incomplete Importance => Undecided It's not incomplete. The bug is quite complete. The importance can't be undecided. Abiword is a very popular program and Ubuntu is going to be the only platform _not_ supporting it. To me, it sounds like a release-braker. Bureacracy is getting in the way here; and it's _hurting_ the quality of the Ubuntu Hardy release. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Debian Experimental does not yet have Abiword 2.6.0, either. It looks like the Ubuntu source package unifies the 4 upstream packages together into a single source package and builds multiple binary packages from that source package. I am not entirely certain how that would translate to updating the source package to build a testing version of the package; if anyone is able/willing to do this, it'd be possible to test it for inclusion into Hardy. It can always be backported, though, and it probably will be once there is an available Debian or Ubuntu source package. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
A few more points to support the inclusion of abiword-2.6.0 in th eupcoming Unbuntu release. This is a major update. Asking for a changelog is insane. It has be in excess of 100,000 LOC. There is no way anyone is going to be able to review that. We have fixed hundreds of bugs since 2.4.6 which have not and will not be backported to 2.4.x. The 2.4.x series is dead as far as we're concerned. Our windows 2.6.0 release is now out in the wild. We have registered over 300,000 downloads already. AbiWord-2.6.x will be included in upcoming fedora, Mandriva and SUSE release. AbiWord 2.6.x includes a brand new real-time collaborative editing feature which allows Windows, fedora, SUSE and Mandriva users to simultaneously edit their documents in real time. This feature has received rave reviews on OLPC machines (where it is included as the within the Write word processor). If Ubuntu does not include 2.6.x, Ubuntu users will miss out on this exceptional new feature, while their Windows friends can happily interoperate. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
2.4.x will have _no_ support going in to the future. Changes to the 2.4 tree stopped being made quite some time ago, due to the large number of cleanups and improvements to the 2.6.x tree. 2.4.x has been closed for some time, and AbiWord 2.6 is already in Fedora and SuSE. It would be very shortsighted not to package 2.6 (properly, with the ODT plugin) in Hardy. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
Just tossing in my 2 cents here: 2.6.0 has a number of visible changes, but the older version is unlikely to have a significant ammount of support going into the future. This means that, if any errors are observed with the 2.4.x series (eg: The outstanding and very ugly bugs mentioned), it could become necessary for Hardy to upgrade to 2.6 anyway or spend an unnecessary ammount of time fiddling with patches. Changing major versions of included software within one release is, of course, not really Ubuntu's way of doing things. Thus, in the interest of having AbiWord kept reasonably well supported, it would be sane to get the 2.6.x upgrade dealt with for Hardy from the start. -- Please update to version 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6
2.4.6 is exceedingly old - released in November 2006. 2.6.0 contains a lot of stability improvements, memory/performance improvements, import/export enhancements, and so on. Including it (with the fixed bug 24195 to support ODF within the abiword package) in Hardy would be a very important step for Hardy - by the end of the LTS period, 2.4.6 will be 4.5 years old, with a better alternative available for just over 3 years.
