Description Slobodan D. Sredojevic 2003-12-21 18:26:44 UTC
Please, upgrade scrollkeeper to 0.3.14 .

It was released on 5th december.

Thank You,
Slobodan Sredojevic

0.3.12 is in portage
0.3.13 needs intltool-0.28 (say gnome-2.5 specific)
0.3.14 does not need it but it would fail without a patch to remove a sandbox violation :

sandbox violation (open_wr:   /etc/xml/catalog)

at least, it was the case last time i tried it

0.3.14 now uses its own real XML Parser, (in fact, XML::Parser perl module if i read well)

scrollkeeper isnt herded, foser do you want it gnome or text-markup maybe ?
Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-22 04:31:18 UTC
hmm dunno really.. both ? what is your opinion ?

i thought i asked you quite a while ago to update it, because you seemed the best person to know what was going on with it.

comment #2 seems to be confusing intltool & scrollkeeper 
Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-22 04:32:32 UTC
the whole scrollkeeper thing works btw, so updating is no priority afaic.
Comment 5 Slobodan D. Sredojevic 2003-12-22 13:47:16 UTC
Foser, I don't think so. Please read the rest.

Also, want to point out something strange with yelp(scrollkeeper setup)

When I open Yelp in Gentoo I see:
---------------------------------
Help Contents
GNOME - Desktop

Additional documents

* Manual PAges
* Info Pages
---------------------------------

When I open Yelp in Fedora I see:
---------------------------------
Help Contents
GNOME - Desktop

* Accessibility
* Desktop
* Applets
...
* Development
* Multimedia
* System

Additional documents

* Applications
* Development
* System
* Manual PAges
* Info Pages
---------------------------------

Have installed latest Yelp in Gentoo and Fedora. It is 2.4.2. Scrollkeeper in Gentoo is 0.3.12. Had 0.3.12 and 0.3.14 scrollkeeper in fedora - same (good) results.

So, think there is problem with scrollkeeper setup.

Ok, this is not just me:

In this message:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-devel-list/2003-March/msg00039.html

there is the same problem - gentoo involved.

To help further, found that when you start Yelp as root everything is right - all categories are shown, but when you run yelp as user you will see just man and info categories. 

Starting it from terminal (as user) it gives message:
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function startElement

Thats like an early 2003 message with another problem (same symptoms), i bet you can find messages like that for almost any distro.

I could tell you that your db is corrupt/non-existing beforehand, but this is not a general problem and i see no reason to suggest it is due to our current scrollkeeper/yelp setup or something and that upgrading scrollkeeper will fix this for you.

Since it only happens as users, maybe the permissions on the /var/lib/scrollkeeper dir are incorrect ?

The sax parser warning seems to be harmless and happens everywhere.

 Upgrading should fix this. This was one of the important fixes in the
 most recent scrollkeeper release: temporary files are now stored in a
 per-user directory.
