The remember patch provided on the fluxbox.org page states it will fail if nls is disabled - check for this in the use variables?
Created attachment 5181 [details] Revised ebuild I think this oughta fix it - worked for me. Someone else want to test?
See, here's the thing. The only difference between -r2 and -r1 is the remember patch. So removing the remeber patch leaves no reason to go to an -r2. Implementing the `use nls &&` works fine, but if that step is skipped you're left with no reason to run -r2. *This* is why it is ~ keyworded, and not put forward as a stable build. I'm aware of the issues with the patch and nls, and honestly I'm still trying to work out the best way to deal with it. I've thought of adding something like: if [ -n "`use nls`" ] then ewarn "You currently have -nls in your USE. This build of Fluxbox will not" ewarn "build if nls is disabled." exit 1 fi
Also.. *PLEASE* when including a text attatchment remember to set the type as 'text/plain'.
Sorry about that, I'm kinda new at this. I understand completely about the whole r2 thing - I had forgotten that i had put ~x86 in my make.conf. Thanks for checking into it - I'm sure whatever solution you come up with will work fine. Sorry for the confusion.
Yea, I would go with the the test below; that way people have an idea what's up. if [ -n "`use nls`" ] then ewarn "You currently have -nls in your USE. This build of Fluxbox will not" ewarn "build if nls is disabled." exit 1 fi Kinda odd that the remember patch requires nls. I wonder if this a bug/misfeature in the remember patch. USE="nls" emerge fluxbox works fine with 0.1.12-r2
I've added the `if [ ! "`use nls`" ]` test to the existing -r2 ebuild. It directs the user to run `USE="nls" emerge fluxbox` if the test fails. This build is still ~ keyworded and not released to general population.
I think this package is best left as "unstable", IE ~keyworded permanantly. I'm hearing rumors that Fluxbox 0.1.13 will have AA text and generally be overall neat. This remember patch is nice, but the nls thing coupled with rare crashes just won't make it into stable. I'm setting this to FIXED. I've you've got any issues with the 0.1.12-r2 release, consider running Fluxbox without the remember patch, waiting for 0.1.13, or dealing with the remember patch through other means. Cheers, and thanks for the help guys!
