Description Priyantha Bleeker 2006-07-11 13:15:18 UTC
An ebuild for slab.
Slab is the new menu made by Novell.
This menu is part of the up comming SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.
Depencies are beagle and NetworkManager(can be get from gentopia and breakmygentoo).
The people of the Ubuntu forum made also an great control-panel.
I'll post later also an ebuild for that.

Just a quick note - I've done a cvs snapshot - I will post the ebuild here, I will be adding it to Gentopia's overlay later tonight after a few more cleanups to it.  
Comment 10 Thomas van Kampen 2006-07-14 08:40:13 UTC
You need a dependency on >=gtk-doc-1.0
Comment 11 Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-14 09:03:59 UTC
If compiling from cvs, then yes you do, however to actually compile and install, it isn't necessary.  One of those minor annoyances.

Well what started out as getting rid of the access violations turned into a complete rewrite of the ebuild using the gnome2 eclass in addition to the cvs eclass.

slab-1.9999-r3.ebuild

Another updated ebuild to fix a dep, and remove the support for gcontrol. As the slab control-center now works properly there's not really any need.

Is there anyone that would like this added back into the ebuild?
Comment 20 Magnus Ahlberg 2006-08-17 16:15:06 UTC
dev-util/gtk-doc should also be listed as a dependancy, my emerge of slab bailed out because of missing gtk-doc.m4

emerging dev-util/gtk-doc fixed the issue.

02-configure.in-remove-gtk-doc.patch

Patch to slab to remove the check for gtk-doc. This is only used when you have USE=-doc, as gtk-doc isn't needed in that case, but it's still checked for.

slab-1.9999-r4.ebuild

Updated ebuild that fixes the gtk-doc dep, and also removes most of the KEYWORDS, and puts the rest in ~.

Sorry that took so long, didn't see the email for the comment about gtk-doc.
Comment 23 element 2006-09-12 11:49:16 UTC
Hello everyone,

I recently installed slab on my AMD64 system from stuart's desktop overlay and noticed what seemed like VERY high memory usage after some time. At one point, it had hit 100megabytes.

After some searching I came across this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1479689&postcount=139

I could not exactly find where to report the slab bug to its developers, regardless, I think those that are working on it/using it can expect very high memory usage if they open up alot of different documents.

Well the MAINTAINERS are listed as
Jim Krehl      <jimmyk@novell.com>
Scott Reeves   <sreeves@novell.com>

You could try contacting them, but to be honest I'm not sure how Novell handles bugs in their OSS projects.
Comment 25 element 2006-09-13 09:57:40 UTC
Well I sent an email to Jim Krehl yesterday noon detailing the problem. Hopefully I can get a response.

The problem is very obvious on my machine. If you have slab running, you can open up the gnome-system-monitor for example and then open a nautilus window full of documents/media etc.. Every time you individually launch say a video file or mp3, the amount of memory consumed by slab goes up by a few megabytes.
Comment 26 element 2006-09-16 17:41:29 UTC
There have been some changes to the slab module in CVS.

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/slab/ChangeLog?rev=1.4&view=markup for a short changelog.

I re-installed it and though I had already disabled the "recent documents" feature of gnome, it seems to be lower in memory consumption overall. The changelog also states fixes to memory leaks.

Also, the patch for control-center here and in stuart's overlay no longer applies, so I had to do that manually by pausing emerge halfway through. Although I know how to take a simple diff and so on, I didnt know exactly how to provide a diff against a file inside a directory tree so I couldnt submit a fixed patch :( Sorry

So far so good :)

Screenshot of vertical problem

Well, I just tried this are there are a few issues (I don't known if they are because of Gentoo or if they are due to the nature of CVS builds).

1) The icon for the main menu is the "broken icon" icon.
2) For some reason, I see two applications, three things on the right, and a heck of a lot of vertical white space. If I keep using tab, I can access the ones that "off the screen."

See the attached screenshot for details.f

Comment 35 John Schember 2007-01-31 13:56:17 UTC
The dependencies seem a bit wrong at least with the current trunk. It builds and runs fine without avahi or mono installed. They don't seem to be required as dependencies. Well they don't appear to be required does anyone know if they are used and how, by the menu when they are available?

They are just plain wrong, I've posted this to the forums, when the initial ebuild showed up, but nobody seems to have listened ;) I guess that comes from the impression some people have that Novell is pushing Mono, so everything they do has to be Mono-based (while gnome-main-menu is pure C)

Don't know what it does in trunk, but in the newer version-2-branch it is used to add files to "favorite documents"
