An light eye-candy fully themable animated dock for any Linux desktop. It has a family-likeness with OSX dock, but with more options.
Created attachment 146725 [details] gnome-extra/cairo-dock.1.5.2.1.ebuild Founded this ebuild elsewhere (don't remeber now where exactly) and make it "just works". It's a draft, without dependencies. I'm in contact with upstream to get latest source tarball (with the release version in filename instead of the release date, for easy future maintenance). >> https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=8724&bug_id=13398 Tnx in advance for any improvements in the ebuild that this wonderful community will make :-p

Created attachment 151122 [details] gnome-extra/cairo-dock-1.5.5.2.ebuild Hello, thank you for your work on the cairo-dock ebuilds. I was trying to get it compiled and found while doing that, that a new release has been issued on berlios.de I added a few use flags and dependencies. I am not sure, whether or not I caught them all. At least the ones listed in configure.ac are taken into account. One of the things to get it compiled, was a dependency on glib-2.16 which is still in the ~arch branch of portage. USE flags additions: doc: dodoc only when useflag is enabled themes: build cairo-dock themes when use flag is set. glitz: same idea. When not enabled, an einfo tells you, that glitz is recommended for cairo's performance. kde, gnome, xfce, compiz-fusion: I am not sure what those use flags are actually doing. Certainly, cairo-dock should depend on a compositing window manager. I put them merely in, just in case, for such hidden dependencies, when certain features are only compiled, if certain packages are present. I'll dig into that, but feel free to do the same! A general thing with the source package is, that it is completely monolithic. As pointed out, earlier by Fabio, it would be nice, to get it split. Are there any news on that, Fabio? I would also prefer a more modular approach here, for example themes could be seperated as well.
Created attachment 151158 [details] gnome-extra/cairo-dock/cairo-dock-1.5.5.2.ebuild Sorry, there was a mistake in the previous ebuild. Apparently, the cairo-dock-themes needs cairo-dock installed in order to get the configuration of build environment right. So I made a new ebuild for the themes and took them completely out of the cairo-dock. Well, this is cleaner, anyways. In contrast to the previous ebuild, I pull in cairo-dock-themes and cairo-plugins as PDEPEND ebuilds. So now the whole cairo-dock ebuild group is emerged just by emerge cairo-dock. Cheers!
Created attachment 151160 [details] x11-themes/cairo-dock-themes This ebuild emerges the cairo-dock-themes. It is pulled in by cairo-dock via a PDEPEND statement. The cairo-dock-plugins ebuild is in Bug 214109

Tnx to all for improving these ebuilds!
The source for version 1.5.5.2 was removed from the server. Instead there is now a 1.5.5.3. I'm currently in contact with the cairo-dock people. Their release scheme is not documented, but it seems to be merely to replace the latest bleeding edge version while changing the version number. Which of course breaks the ebuilds. It is not obviously documented what is a release that will stay on the server :-(. So let's just not use the latest version on the server, but the last release before that. This would then be release v1.5.4.2. I'm testing ebuilds for this version... Cheers.
Created attachment 151510 [details] gnome-extra/cairo-dock Here the cairo-dock ebuild of version 1.5.4.2. It is similar to version 1.5.5.2. As I explained, before, 1.5.5.2 disappeared from the server. This seems to be the latest version, that will really stay on the server. Cheers, Sandy
Created attachment 151511 [details] x11-themes/cairo-dock-themes This ebuild belongs to the version 1.5.4.2 herd. I included new USE flags. Now it is possible to choose only those themes one wants to have merged ;-) As usual the cairo-dock-plugins ebuild will be attached to Bug 214109. Shall we close that -plugins bug, and leave this one open instead?
Created attachment 151570 [details] gnome-extra/cairo-dock This ebuild is corrected and compliant with the upcoming portage version.
Tnx again sandy for your work (it's hard to explain how busy i am in this period)... regarding the -plugins bug... well i know it's more "agile" have one place to submit the ebuilds, but imho i think it's better keep it open, for barely these reasons: - readability (i don't know why, but, i feel that these bugs will stay open for a while...so i expect they'll become quite long...) - manageability (handle for example cairo-dock and plugins stable at different versions...)
Created attachment 153799 [details] cairo-dock-1.5.4.2-r1.ebuild Tested with glib-2.14.6 (current stable version on gentoo) and all work. The 2.16.3 version is really needed by upstream? Default keyword masked...
Version 1.5.5.4 upstream... "somebody" with time to test it? ;-) Cheers
Maybe people from desktop-effects overlay would know about this...
Removing myself from the CC list and adding desktop-effects. I was asked about cairo-dock before and got ebuilds for it. I'll have to dig them out and check this ones as well. IIRC, at the time there were some issues with the build system that prevented me from adding it to the desktop-effects overlay.

Created attachment 160376 [details] x11-plugins/cairo-dock-plugins/cairo-dock-plugins-9999.ebuild Ebuilds for SVN trunk. Not polished, but working. Maybe someone would find them useful - I was searching for them for sime time, but didn't find.
I'm not sure we should categorize this as gnome-extra. The Website explicitly says that it's for any desktop environment. Other panel/dock type applications are categorized as x11-misc, so I think that might be the best place for it.
I'm just creating new ebuilds for latest version (which is 1.6.2.3). Should have them posted here as soon as I test them.

I actually moved everything to the x11-misc section as I agree with JMW. Indeed cairo-dock is not made only for one Desktop Env. So go for x11-misc. If I'm wrong please send me an email and I'll change them

Created attachment 165732 [details] x11-misc/cairo-dock-plugins Okay everything is ok. I've tested everything and is working fine. If there is any problem please advise.
Just to letcha know... there are fully functional ebuilds for cairo-dock, plugins, and themes using live code in the desktop-effects overlay as well. I need to do some tweaking to them due to some recent changes upstream, but they are functional as-is.
On cairo-dock ebuild, I had to modify the econf line to econf $(use_enable glitz) --enable-xextend to enable glitz on my computer. Also, the svn ebuilds are pulling unneeded sources (the cairo-dock ebuild is also pulling plug-in and themes dirs). Changing the ESVN_REPO_URI line to ESVN_REPO_URI="svn://svn.berlios.de/cairo-dock/trunk/cairo-dock" or ESVN_REPO_URI="svn://svn.berlios.de/cairo-dock/trunk/plug-ins" for the cairo-dock-plugins ebuild. Thanks all, Angelo
Created attachment 166774 [details] cairo-dock-themes-9999.ebuild My svn cairo-dock-themes ebuild I removed each theme from the USE flags to prevent manually adding them each time a new theme is available on upstream.

Anyone have an ebuild for cario-dock-2.0.3?
Sorry for my english, I use cario-dock-2 (desktop-effect), I find this new version really indeed, it integre the management of applets (screenlets) of which cario-clock. I find this program indeed advance on its concurent and I includes not why it is not in portage.
Created attachment 195506 [details] cairo-dock-2.0.5.ebuild
I just tried the 2.05 ebuild and config failed because it needs x11-libs/gtkglext. I'm not sure, but I think this is because I have glitz disabled. Glitz is no longer under active development and cairo-dock's new opengl backend is much better.
Created attachment 196273 [details] cairo-dock-2.0.6.ebuild Sorry, it's ok now in 2.0.6 ebuild
cairo-dock is already into the desktop-effects overlay and probably will move into the main tree in few days. The lastest version is 2.0.8.2.
Reassigning.
I close this bug per comment 38 and comment 39
I don't know if I'm out of place saying this here, but it's been more than "a few days" and cairo-dock still isn't in the main tree. Is there a reason for this?
(In reply to comment #41) > I don't know if I'm out of place saying this here, but it's been more than "a > few days" and cairo-dock still isn't in the main tree. Is there a reason for > this? You're not out of place. The reason is that we got distracted with other issues, we need more people to work on desktop-effects and we don't use a few of the packages ourselves. I'll try to look at the desktop-effects packages this weekend.
Any news?
I suppose this is a lost cause, I wish i could offer help myself but I have noooo idea what I'm doing...
