Description Adam Stylinski 2010-06-14 01:13:20 UTC
In order to properly get fullscreen support with mplayer, f has be pressed three times to cycle through all the options before actually giving a fullscreen.  Using MPlayer SVN-r30554-4.4.4, but it probably will affect earlier versions too.  There must be a window manager hint that is not properly being passed.

dropped keywords for this prerelease until this gets sorted out.
Comment 3 ferret 2010-07-06 21:34:53 UTC
I'm not sure that this is quite the same as bug #327181.  The same code affects both and is probably wrong in some ways, but there are key differences: in this bug fullscreening mplayer with its own key combination is triggering a hint action, whereas in the other bug a state is affecting an application as a result of a window manager key combination.

Also, this would appear to be an actual "bug", the logic of the code is incorrect.  The obvious-in-chromium bug is more of an aesthetic bug, the code was written correctly but interacts in an unexpected way with existing usage of the wm hint.

In any case, I think both of these issues should be upstreamed asap.
Comment 4 Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-08-13 01:55:41 UTC
Hello,

i just bumped this package to version 1.1.0 (released July 3rd).

Can you please give it a try?

Thanks
Comment 5 Adam Stylinski 2011-08-19 15:53:30 UTC
I'll unmask it sometime this weekend.
Comment 6 Adam Stylinski 2012-03-21 13:40:50 UTC
Unfortunately the new version still has issues with application that give fullscreen window manager hints, in particular mplayer.

Did you report this to upstream?

If by report you mean email ciarin ascomb then yeah, I emailed him around the time of filing this bug. His reply was along the lines of I'll have to think about it. Haven't bugged him about it since.
Comment 9 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-07-07 15:21:58 UTC
I see no release since 2011... upstream never fixed this... do we really need one more WM? I mean... having fullscreen not working properly looks to me a major enough problem to migrate to one of the multiple lightweight WM alternatives that are available in the tree
Comment 10 Adam Stylinski 2015-07-10 16:43:10 UTC
I personally routinely use this for MythTV dedicated frontend boxes and I believe that the frontend init script with that ebuild is configured to use this by default for mythwelcome.  I would be sad to see this thing disappear from portage :(.
Comment 11 Jaco Kroon 2015-07-13 09:10:26 UTC
Currently using 1.0.1 and the only thing there that annoys me is the lack of xinerama support during maximize (ie, maximize goes over all screens, not just main one).  I would also be very sad to see this being purged from the tree.

For starters the evilwm.sourgeforge.net page now redirects here:

http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/install.shtml

Which also gives the latest release as 1.1.0 - however, the git repository:

git clone http://www.6809.org.uk/repos/evilwm.git

Is indicating that there is at least some activity:

commit 551d4b9db1c206a090fe3960773ea5781f4fa920
Author: Ciaran Anscomb <evilwm@6809.org.uk>
Date:   Mon Apr 20 07:59:28 2015 +0100

    Don't automatically focus dock windows

(not frequent, but at least some).

    up version to 1.1.1, update changelog

... but I don't see any tag for that - nor a download.  Just this commit.  I'll drop Diaran an email quickly.
Comment 13 Jaco Kroon 2015-07-21 09:44:03 UTC
Hi All,

After contacting Ciaran he tagged and published a new release for us.  He also gave me quite a nice explanation of the fullscreen stuff and how it's supposed to work - it does make sense overall.  If anybody is interested, mail me off-list and I'll forward it to you.

http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/ - so we can bump to 1.1.1.

If we're happy with that I suggest we also just update the homepage to the link provided above.
Comment 14 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-07-21 19:02:29 UTC
Nice, thanks!

Is anyone willing to proxy maintain this?
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers

That would help to get things fixed much sooner (as wouldn't depend in the free time we have for spending in "orphan" packages, that don't have any maintainer, like this one :(

evilwm-1.1.1.patch

Hi Patcho, Chainsaw,

The patch is against the current git gentoo repository.  repoman does moan somewhat about dropping keywords but since I don't have those arches I can't really test.  I've merely added ~amd64, please advise.

Kind Regards,
Jaco

Leave keywords as-is, simply downgrade them to ~testing as you commit. I've done this for you, resulting in:
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd ~x86-interix ~amd64-linux ~x86-linux ~ppc-macos ~sparc64-solaris"

I've also added the missing ID/marker on line 3.
