Created attachment 318250 [details] Bump version to playonlinux-4.1.3 This ebuild bumps us up to playonlinux 4.1.3. It also reuses the IPv6 patch we presently apply to 4.1.1. Tested on amd64. I'm looking into the 'DEBIAN_PACKAGE' switch.
poncho, could you file that as a new bug request, with priority 'enhancement'?
I presume we can handle both in this bug
I spent some time with upstream on the issue, and it's not entirely clear what the best way to handle it is. I was warned that setting the 'DEBIAN_PACKAGE' variable that POL supports does more than just turn off the update notifications. Looked into it, and it: 1) Disables update notifications 2) Disables automatic bug reports 3) Disables automatic usage statistic collection 4) Changes the directory POL looks in for locale data (POL, by default, ships with a copy of locale data in its own directory structure, but setting DEBIAN_PACKAGE switches code to look at a hardcoded path. It happens that this path exists on Gentoo as well.) 5) Changes the behavior of some code which sets terminal titles. 6) Changes how POL guarantees the presence of MS Core Fonts. Re (1). I'm not certain I really want to disable update notifications. I rather like the idea that I could instead direct the user via hyperlink to a particular bug number on b.g.o which is updated as each new version comes along. This has the benefit of avoiding duplicate bug reports, as well as ensuring the maintainer rapidly aware of the availability of a new version upstream. If getting decent ebuild of the new version would prove to be difficult, a new revision could be added which disables the notification. Similarly, if it's desired to mark versions of app-emulation/playonlinux stable, the update notification could be removed there, too. The DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag doesn't accomplish any of this. Re (2). Upstream is partial to disabling automatic bug reports for packaged versions of POL. I understand and agree with them on that. The DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag accomplishes this, but has additional side-effects, and so is less desireable. Re (3). Statistic collection and submission requires the user's permission at first-run anyway, so it's not necessary to disable it from a privacy standpoint. Further, I think users' ability to inform upstream of their use case in a structured and controlled way is a benefit to those users, so I don't like DEBIAN_PACKAGE disabling that. I didn't get any argument from upstream on this. (I'll attach the relevant pieces of the chat log after I finish this comment). Re (4). While I understand what locales do and are generally for, I don't fully understand the effect of the locale path change in this circumstance. For example, the DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag instructs the program to look under /usr/share/locale (as opposed to the program's install directory tree) for locale data. I don't know if Debian's maintainer is moving app-specific files into there or not. I really need to study up on the mechanics of locales and of potential distribution-imposed path variations before I make a change here. (I'm also in the middle of an employment shift, so while I have most of the documentation I need, the studying itself is on a back burner at this moment.) Re (5). I don't know why DEBIAN_PACKAGE has influence on how terminal titles are adjusted. If the other issues are resolved and we may use the DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag, I will probably simply test whether the net result is unsatisfactory and go from there. Re (6). Obviously, a dependency on media-fonts/corefonts is in order, and POL shouldn't need to check for the fonts' presence. I haven't dug deeply into the depth of POL's font install code, though, so I don't know how difficult it would be to come up with a clean patch. Long and short of it, the DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag impacts a lot of code, and the full extent is not clear to me. I hope to convince upstream that item-by-item behavior flags are a better way to implement their in-tree customization options than what they're doing; I've got a simple, should-be-transparent implementation for it in mind, too. If I can convince them of that approach, I'll write the relevant code and submit patches; they're very grateful for patches. I'm also partial to keeping Gentoo's version as close to upstream as reasonably possible, with few (if any) invasive changes, to ease future maintenance. If my patches work for them, that's awesome, and each new release of upstream should result in a reduction of the number of patches Gentoo applies. If upstream doesn't like my patches, I'll go with whatever we can mutually come up with so that Gentoo users have good experiences, while the maintainer of the Gentoo package has minimal maintenance resulting from package divergence.
Created attachment 318818 [details] Conversation with upstream regarding DEBIAN_PACKAGE flag behavior
hi, in the meanwhile there is version 4.1.7. i could be nice if a dev can update now the ebuild to this latest version. thanks
Play on Linux is now up to version 4.1.7, bump request/update on progress please?
I'll put together and test an ebuild this weekend. Any particular application you'd like me to test? Otherwise, I just use Diablo III.
Apologies, I'm not going to get to it this weekend. Fingers crossed for next weekend.
version 4.1.8 released.
Created attachment 326400 [details] playonlinux-4.1.8.ebuild This is the ebuild I am currently using.
Created attachment 326402 [details, diff] playonlinux-4.1.8.ebuild Diff For convenience the diff against the ebuild in the main tree.
Can we get this ebuild in the tree? I was going to post an ebuild for 4.1.8 as well before I saw poncho's.
(In reply to comment #14) > Can we get this ebuild in the tree? I was going to post an ebuild for 4.1.8 > as well before I saw poncho's. We havent heard back from Michael Mol yet...
Please, go on without me; I've just purchased a house and moved, and I don't see immediate demands on my time getting any lighter for the foreseeable future.
(In reply to comment #16) > Please, go on without me; I've just purchased a house and moved, and I don't > see immediate demands on my time getting any lighter for the foreseeable > future. So I guess we need to find a new maintainer for this. Volunteers? :)
I can volunteer, but I'm new to the package. Do we really need netcat? Would netcat6 be ok, too? Both are in conflict.
As long as netcat6 handles IPv4 just fine (my Gentoo boxes are down right now, so I can't check), it shouldn't be a problem. You'd want to set the dependency as "netcat or netcat6", though.
(In reply to comment #18) > I can volunteer, but I'm new to the package. > Do we really need netcat? Would netcat6 be ok, too? Both are in conflict. So I guess this package can be dropped from proxy-maint now?
changed netcat to netcat6 in your ebuild (thanks for that :-) @poncho) no problems so far. don't know if needed: emerge --info Portage 2.2.0_alpha149 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.5.4,
