"Avant Window Navgator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows." looks really good... someone have already tested/installed?
> looks really good... someone have already tested/installed? I'm using it at the moment. pretty nice, not from an ebuild though I checked out source from SVN. And unlike some other dock projects I looked at (gnome-dock, akamaru kiba, gdesklets in general) this one seems to have some so momentum behind it, the developer is pretty busy.
Created attachment 110591 [details] avant-window-navigator-0.1.1.2.ebuild Got it to download and compile on my amd64 with this - neither executables would run. $ /usr/bin/avant-preferences Segmentation fault $ /usr/bin/avant-window-navigator /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 250, in ? app = main() File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 143, in __init__ self.setup_chooser(APP_ACTIVE_PNG, self.wTree.get_widget("activefilechooser")) File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 221, in setup_chooser chooser.set_filename(self.client.get_string(key)) TypeError: GtkFileChooser.set_filename() argument 1 must be string, not None ...the latter could be a gtk version error. My current is 2.10.9. -Sud.
I created an ebuild which is on svn at 2ndw.net (svn co http://2ndw.net/svn/). It's an ebuild for avant-window-navigator revision 158 snapshot. The repository will be updated with newer revisions when they are made availible by the project owner.
I actually meant the repository will be updated...

This seems to get nicer every day! :) I also want this in Portage!
Hmm, I want this as well. It looks mighty spiffy. I will see if ebuild is any good. If so I might look to commit it :)
I can stick it in tree for x86, but it seems to have issues on amd64, so it won't have that keyword till I can get with upstream. wlt@wlt ~ $ avant-preferences /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/window.glade Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 250, in ? app = main() File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 143, in __init__ self.setup_chooser(APP_ACTIVE_PNG, self.wTree.get_widget("activefilechooser")) File "/usr/bin/avant-preferences", line 221, in setup_chooser chooser.set_filename(self.client.get_string(key)) TypeError: GtkFileChooser.set_filename() argument 1 must be string, not None wlt@wlt ~ $ avant-window-navigator Segmentation fault I am looking into reporting this to upstream. But won't be till later.
0.2 is just released! https://launchpad.net/awn/+download
Cool, I had some success with repo checkouts, but didn't want to make a package based on that. Let me bump the ebuild in bug, test locally and go from there. All as time permits, so no ETA :)
Is there any reason for this specific ebuild is taking such a long time to get to portage? I guess that usually gentoo devs are much more efficient with ebuild commits to portage tree... :-(

Comment on attachment 134983 [details] avant-window-navigator-0.2.ebuild A new version has been released, and this is what I wrote to get it compile and install correctly, and yes, it's about time we saw this little powerful dock in portage.
updating the URL and in the meantime FYI a new stable release 0.2.1 https://launchpad.net/awn/+download Probably works with the renamed ebuild.
Created attachment 135212 [details] avant-window-navigator-0.2.1 Ok, renaming didn't work, but fixed the small problem, now this should work for all 0.2.x versions if the author doesn't change the URL pattern, simply renaming the file should do it, I'll try to update any dep. when things change but I'm afraid I'm too much of a beginner to get that right so far. :P Have fun!
Just committed 0.2.1 to tree. Going to mark attachments as obsolete.
Thanks alot for that! Do we get the extras as well? https://code.launchpad.net/~awn-extras/awn-extras/0.2.1
avant-window-navigator-extras 0.2.1 committed to tree :) Pretty minimalistic ebuild. I had it more advanced and slimmed it down. Please file bugs if any applets don't work, due to missing files or etc. But the ones I am using seem to work fine. And they are pretty cool :)
Hi, I was going to open a new bugreport but before I decided to try with a comment here: avant-window-navigator needs to depend on gnome-python-desktop, otherwise the preferences fails with a python error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/awn-manager", line 41, in <module> import gnomedesktop ImportError: No module named gnomedesktop
made a wiki page for AWN: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Avant_Window_Navigator Please contribute to it.

Likely didn't have to bump, but I did anyway.
