Bug 107943 – Moving new hal / dbus into unstable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-02 17:36:26 UTC]

Reference URL's:
http://gentoo-portage.com/sys-apps/hal/rdep
http://gentoo-portage.com/sys-apps/dbus/rdep

The new versions of dbus(0.36.2) and hal(0.5.4) may affect the following packages.
( They are currently unstable, or they are stable packages that will be affected
when 2.12 moves into stable )

We would like to move GNOME 2.12 into unstable next week.

Please respond with:
1. Packages did not need to be changed, they already support the new API
2. Packages need to be modified, applied patch.
3. Custom message :)

Thanks!

[Comment 1 Sven Wegener 2005-10-02 17:59:16 UTC]

net-dns/avahi
x11-misc/service-discovery-applet

Both are ready for the new API.

[Comment 2 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2005-10-02 18:13:47 UTC]

media-sound/bmpx

Uses new api.

[Comment 3 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2005-10-02 21:45:54 UTC]

Both tomboy and muine required no changes and work with the new API. Removing
myself/dotnet herd CC.

[Comment 4 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2005-10-02 23:59:47 UTC]

app-editors/mlview is not using dbus anymore,
app-misc/workrave works as is.

[Comment 5 Michael Kohl (RETIRED) 2005-10-03 01:36:10 UTC]

net-news/liferea only works with with dbus >=0.30, so it's ready. Removing
myself from CC.

[Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-10-03 02:44:00 UTC]

vlc seems not to enable it in a reliable way, so for now I'll just disable it  
and wait for upstream's response.

According to the upstream ChangeLogs, >=bluez-{libs,utils}-2.18 supports the 
new D-Bus API, but I'll leave the final word to liquidx (as I can not test it 
here).

[Comment 8 Hanno Böck 2005-10-03 06:16:08 UTC]

thoggen works fine with both the old and new api.

Any xfce people confirm that its been fixed?
net-im, how does skype look?

Thanks!

*** Bug 104951 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 11 Hanno Böck 2005-10-06 06:03:47 UTC]

k3b is working (see #105403) 

[Comment 12 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-10-06 06:05:22 UTC]

evince has support for both APIs.

[Comment 13 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-06 15:13:12 UTC]

talked to bcowan, he said xfce stuff should be good to go

[Comment 14 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2005-10-07 10:37:36 UTC]

I found a not so critical issue with dbus and k3b and reported it in bug #108408. 
Feel free to remove the depend, because the crash when closed does not prevent
from using k3b with the latest dbus, but it would be nice to get fixed before
unmasking. 

[Comment 15 Sergey Kuleshov (RETIRED) 2005-10-08 07:35:05 UTC]

gajim supports new api.

[Comment 16 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) 2005-10-08 09:38:42 UTC]

Well about this issue and the gnome stuff.

I cannot know if skype is working with dbus.

[Comment 17 Steve Arnold 2005-10-08 14:53:14 UTC]

gpsd doesn't support the new API so we're stuck with dbus? (
~sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 ) 
for now.  If Eric updates to the new interface, I'll follow suit.

[Comment 18 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-10-09 17:00:25 UTC]

media-video/ogmrip is ready too

[Comment 19 Peter Hyman 2005-10-10 04:26:26 UTC]

rox-base/rox-session-0.26 (see bug # 106262) is also unstable with dbus >= 0.3.
Patches are in the works, although apparently, there are lots of little internal
changes that widely affect application performance. At rox, until all bugs are
known, staying with dbus < 0.3 is recommended.

[Comment 20 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 03:22:16 UTC]

It seems the new hal / dbus versions were moved to unstable but this bug is
still not resolved. A little weird if you ask me.

[Comment 21 Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 03:42:32 UTC]

screem works fine, evince works fine, gajim if i recall correctly - worked fine

Re: Gustavo's comment, I believe Skype needs to use the session bus, and not the
system bus (think it tries to use the system by default) - thus the bindings not
working quite properly, though the application itself does run fine.

[Comment 22 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 06:58:36 UTC]

removing rox because current versions do not dep on dbus, remove the k3b as
mentioned previously.

[Comment 23 Peter Hyman 2005-10-11 07:06:57 UTC]

(In reply to comment #22)
> removing rox because current versions do not dep on dbus, remove the k3b as
> mentioned previously.

you are incorrect. ROX-Session does have dbus as a dependency.
ROX_REQUIRE(dbus-1, 0.20) is in configure.in. So please, before you remove a
blocker, double check. Add 106262 back if you want. Not a big deal to me, but
this app is marked unusable with dbus =0.3*

[Comment 24 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 07:12:19 UTC]

I do not see dbus as a dep for anything regarding rox with the current ebuilds
in portage.

Please let me what ebuild it is that references dbus.
