Bugzilla Bug 112957

I cant emerge zim
it needs this stuff (i think)
        GLib
        Gtk2
        Storable
        File::Spec
        File::BaseDir
        File::MimeInfo
and maybe gtk-perl

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge zim
2. see nothing happen
Actual Results:  
nothing happened, with the message

Calculating dependencies   
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "zim".

Expected Results:  
i should be able to successfully emerge zim

working zim ebuild

It works, I think I have all the deps, testing appreciated.

Your ebuild is fine (as it uses entirely the eclass perl-module). I tried it
and
it works fine (x86 box).
suggested category : app-editors

I tried it also and it compiles and launches fine in amd64 box

evidently the license is the "perl license"not the GPL, however I cant find the
perl license...

Created an attachment (id=73874) [edit]

just a version bump, nothing more.
can somebody get back to me on what the perl license is? i cant see it in
/usr/portage/licenses

Hi!

I get the error on amd64:

gour@gaura-nitai ~ $ zim

Some deps. are not taken care of :-(

About licensing: "perl license" means "This program is free software; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl." This statement
is very common for perl modules and perl perl applications. The terms of perl in
turn state "Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic
License or the GNU General Public License,".

So you can read "perl license" as "GPL".

As for the Gtk2.pm not found error, this means that dev-perl/gtk2-perl was not
properly installed or that the perl include path @INC does not include the
directory where this package was installed. dev-perl/gtk2-perl _is_ in the
dependency list.

Yup. Re-emerging (ak updating) gtk2-perl to the latest (~amd64) fixed the
problem :-)

I wish you lot of luck in further zim-development.

Because there is no flag for trayicon, to use this feature in zim, user have to
manualy install dev-perl/gtk2-trayicon and reinstall zim.

Is there a way to modify ebuild to handle zim plugins? (trayicon, calendar,
etc?)

There is no need to re-install zim after adding a optional dependency, it will
be detected on run time if the user enables the feature that uses it. When an
optional dependency is missing the user is informed of that by the application.

> Is there a way to modify ebuild to handle zim plugins? (trayicon, calendar,

Currently all plugins are bundled with the package, in the future at least a
number of core plugins will be bundled. Plugins are not the issue here, they
are just used to bundle optional features. The issue is that these optional
features have (optional) dependencies like Gtk2::TrayIcon and Gtk2::Spell. 

Not sure if this really needs fixing, since the user is informed of the missing
depency and can install these packages when he needs/wants them.

I can't seem to get this running here, whenever I try to run zim, I get the

An eix DesktopEntry shows

     Description:         An interface to Freedesktop.org .desktop files.

So, where is it expecting the DesktopEntry from?   (This is also with zim-0.15)

Zim 0.15 added a new dependency, which is the perl modul File::DesktopEntry
(this is _not_ X11::FreeDesktop::DesktopEntry ). The url for this module is
http://search.cpan.org/~pardus/File-DesktopEntry/

Don't know if there is a Gentoo package for it. The package is closely related
to the dev-perl/File-MimeInfo package and is required for lookups of
applications to open a certain mimetype.

-- Jaap <pardus@cpan.org>

I created new ebuild for zim-0.15 which now depends on File::DesktopEntry
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131128.

new version, from now depends on File::DesktopEntry

I'll go ahead and take this since mcummings put File-Desktopentry into portage

Added USE-Flags: 

spell, which compile dev-perl/gtk2-spell for spelling support
tray, which compiles dev-perl/gtk2-trayicon for gnome-trayicon-support.

Without those dependencies, one may choose those plugins from inside zim, but
zim disables them at next restart.

Can you change mime type to: text/plain?

Spell flag is set good, but in a list of use flags
(http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml) I didn't saw tray flag, so I don't
think it shoud be used.

Well, I just didn't know, what USE-Flag to use, since theres no USE-Flag for
such a case. Know, I've changed to IUSE="gnome spell", cause this Feature lets
Zim fit better into gnome-desktop.

sorry for my bad english ;-)

My question here is (and since I don't have a KDE machine running at the moment
to test) does the tray icon work in other environments that offer a tray?  The
gnome use flag may be not quite what I am looking for - there is the possiblity
to add "tray" to use.local.desc - though I plan to ask around about it first.

Same Problem here, no KDE things installed. Since it uses gtk2-trayicon its the
question for GTK-Apps in KDE Tray. Does it generelay work?

Yes, the tray icon is something that works the same on most desktops, tested on
Gnome, Xfce and KDE. The reason it works is that it is really an embedded
window and therefor it does not need to use the same toolkit as the panel it is
embedded in.

Please note that so far none of zim's features depend on gnome in particular.

Just made an ebuild for Newton and filed it with Bug 133337. Newton will be the
official Destkop-Wiki for Gnome-Destkop, AFAIR.

No, you can't. The "perl license" is the Artistic License, or the Artistic
License 2, not the "GPL". There is a difference.

As explained in the post you refer to I'm understanding "perl license" to mean
"under the same terms as perl" which is what the copyright statement of zim
(and many other perl programs) says. If I meant the Artistic license I would
talk about Artistic license, not about the perl license. Perl is not
exclusively under Artistic, it is available under both Artistic and GPL -- try
running "perl -v".

To be perfectly clear: zim is under GPL, I'm the author and I put it explicitly
under GPL. Thanks.

Finally!  Sorry that this has taken so long.  I (as of a few minutes ago)
committed 0.16 to Portage.  Please try it out and let me know how things go.
