Bugzilla Bug 110566

New stable versions of hk_classes and knoda.

Main new features:
============
* Referential integrity (foreign keys) support added (Postgres and Firebird)
* buttons in forms have a toggle mode
* View support for Mysql added (Mysql 5.x only)
* CSV import filter improved (better fieldtype detection including 
datetime,date,time and auto_inc)
* the export and import dialogs improved a lot, 
* datasources will ask before updating data
* the charset can be set for databases (xbase and sqlite) , 
* error and warning messages improved a lot, 
* New command line tool 'hk_dbcopy' allows to copy whole databases between 
different database backends 
* the documentation is updated 

Also many bugs are fixed.

The documentation has been updated, so pressing F1 will hopefully help you in 
many cases.

SRC_URI and src_install() rewritten to correctly install documention.

Why is nothing happening on this bug?

This is another new version.  The main feature is an improved report generator.
Report fields can automatically resize depending on the size of the displayed
text (set the "dynamic height" property to use this in combination with the
"line break" property). Fonts can be  embedded now (in the preferences dialog),
so differences between the preview window and the printed result should be 
history. There is also no need any more to select a local charset.

hk_classes depends now on 2 more libraries, fontconfig
(http://www.fontconfig.org) and freetype2 (http://www.freetype.org). Both 
libraries should be part of your distribution already, so compilation should 
be no problem.

Also many bugs are fixed. The Mysql driver handles sockets correctly now and 
the Sqlite drivers handle different encodings in a better way.

The documentation has been updated, so pressing F1 will hopefully help you in 
many cases.

me thinks you need to become a gentoo developer so you can keep track of this
package :)

I'ld love to try this program, but I get the following error with both the
provided ebuilds (0.8 and 0.8.1_alpha1):

* Running elibtoolize in: knoda-0.8.1-test1/admin
 *   Applying portage-1.4.1.patch ...

Probably an easy to fix problem, but a new one to me. Maybe one of you guys
knows how to fix this. If it compiles here, you might as well tag it ~amd64 :)

I don't have access to an amd64 so can't test this, but I've sent Comment #8 to
hk-classes-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net, hoping to get an answer from Horst
Knorr.  Perhaps one of our amd64 devs could comment?

That sounds like the admin dir is foobar'd.
elibtoolize should be called (and it is by kde eclass) to ensure that faulty
libtools are not being used.

Diego seems to be pointing to the right area. 
/var/tmp/portage/knoda-0.8.1_alpha1/work/knoda-0.8.1-test1/admin/ltconfig says:

#! /bin/sh
# Written by <matz@kde.org> and placed into the public domain ;-)
echo "This file shouldn't be called.  It exists solely for the purpose"
echo "to make automake 1.4 cope with newer libtools."

My suggestion would be to delete
/usr/portage/distfiles/knoda-0.8.1-test1.tar.bz2 and try again.

Sorry people, I didn't have access to my box in the meantime, hence my late
response.

I tried removing the file and emerging knoda again, but to no avail. Same
error.

Well, I'm perplexed.  The only reply I got from
hk-classes-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net (Horst Knorr) was this:

As amd64 sounds to be very new, and the KDE configuration framework used in 
knoda is about half a year old, this might be a version problem. But this 
would mean that it was impossible to compile older KDE versions on amd64. 
I'll update the framework and perhaps the next version of the knoda package 
will work again.."

I really don't think this is an amd64 problem and would like amd64 people to
test this.

It has nothing to do with amd64.
elibtoolize is used for safety and to fix problems with not-mainstream setups
like uclibc or gentoo/freebsd systems.

just remove ltconfig from the admin dir, and it compiles fine

FWIW the new kde eclass (committed yesterday) handles that transparently: if
ltconfig is that dummy one, it's removed and then elibtoolize is called.

hk_classes-0.8.1_alpha1.ebuild

Modified to include xbase support.  Knoda does currently have a bug when using
this, but it has already been fixed in CVS.

This is a new test versions of hk_classes and knoda.  It is mainly a bugfix
release. The report generator should work much faster and all characters in the
page and report footers will be displayed correctly. The configure script is
improved for a better detection of Python.

For programmers the API has been updated. It is possible to load subforms via 
script (example is in the knoda scripting tutorial) and report sections can 
be invisible during printing (see hk_reportsection::set_print_section()). 

The documentation has been updated, so pressing F1 will hopefully help you in 
many cases.

This is a new test versions of hk_classes and knoda. The main new feature is
the improved query editor. It handles outer and inner joins (as far as the sql
server supports it). Table primary key fields are highlighted and a lot of bugs
are fixed.
The drivers SQLITE3,SQLITE2 and MDB (MS Access) can compile now without the 
need to install extra packages, so they are generally available.

This works fine on x86 and it's high time the tree was updated.

hmm... I've got the sameltconfig problem on ~amd64 when installed
knoda-0.8.1_alpha3
removing admin/ltconfig after unpacking halped as mentioned
