Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-20 13:31:59 UTC
The package is present in Portage as dev-libs/iniparser, would be a nice idea to get upstream to use the system copy if present so we don't have to add yet another copy of it.
Comment 1 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2009-04-27 02:03:20 UTC
Fixed on libcompizconfig-0.8.2-r1.

ppc/ppc64 I had to drop your keywords until you keyword dev-libs/iniparser. Please keyword at your convenience.
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-27 09:12:59 UTC
Not fixed at all; seems like libcompizconfig uses internal code of the iniparser library, you didn't check that compiz started up after your patch, did you?

I've same problem
Comment 6 Alex Bennee 2009-04-27 19:19:42 UTC
Yep r1 is broken.

emerge -v =x11-libs/libcompizconfig-0.8.2

Fixes the problem mentioned

I see I broke libcompizconfig.
I'll try to see what I can do to it when I get home.

I've asked Tomas Chvatal (scarabeus) to mask libcompizconfig-0.8.2-r1.

Updated patch to allow libcompizconfig to build against the system iniparser

This patch changes the function names to allow libcompizconfig to build against the system iniparser. Currently there will still be one implicitly defined function (iniparser_set) as the iniparser.h installed by dev-libs/iniparser is inconsistent with the functions defined by iniparser.c in the same package. I'll file a bug for that and make it block this one.
Comment 11 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-01 14:09:52 UTC
John, could you please submit a cleaned up patch, skipping autotools regeneration and just providing the actual changes you edited yourself? You should be able to either use a git checkout of the libcompizconfig repository or quilt to get the clean patch.

Updated patch with only the minimal necessary changes

I've updated the patch to include only the necessary changes (the autoconf changes from the patch currently in portage and my changes to the source to allow it to build).

I'm still not 100% happy with this since I've had to knock out iniparser.h completely from the source to ensure that it isn't included, which means that the configure changes to use the system iniparser are more or less redundant since applying this patch will force you to use iniparser.h from your system.
Comment 13 Uros 2009-07-02 18:21:38 UTC
.. could someone please mask 0.8.2-r1? 0.8.2 works. 0.8.2-r1 does not.

here on amd64 0.8.2-r2 works great
Comment 15 Uros 2009-07-02 21:15:36 UTC
sorry.. had it unmasked locally.
Comment 16 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2009-07-16 13:54:18 UTC
I bumped libcompizconfig to 0.8.2-r2 in the overlay with the latest patch - thanks to John Keeping.
Will update the ebuild in the tree shortly.
Comment 17 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2009-07-16 18:14:37 UTC
I just added the updated ebuild to the tree.

@ppc, @ppc64:

I had to drop your keywords for x11-libs/libcompizconfig-0.8.2-r2 as you're still missing keywords for dev-libs/iniparser-3.0b-r1
Comment 18 Chema 2009-07-17 07:37:25 UTC
I just upgraded to 0.8.2-r2 from the overlay and it's the same, compiz won't start.

If i execute compiz --replace i get: compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'yes'

When executing fusion-icon i get no message, it simply doesn't start, but when i change to kwin i get the error and backtrace of the attachment.

also here on x86 compiz doesn't start anymore after the upgrade, I get the following error :
compiz --replace
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
Comment 21 Marcello Magaldi 2009-07-17 08:09:05 UTC
My problem could be related to xorg ati drivers because on my amd64 machine I have nvidia propertary drivers and on that machine compiz still works also after the upgrade and on other two x86 machines I have ati xorg driver and compiz stopped working with the error I reported above. 
Downgrading libcompizconfig on x86 machines to 0.8.2 makes compiz work again.


Should I open another bug for this ?

Comment 24 Eitan Mosenkis 2009-07-21 14:59:42 UTC
I have the same error as Chema on 0.8.2-r2 on amd64 / nvidia proprietary drivers.  compiz seems to start, but all settings are wiped and any attempt to change them results in them resetting again.  At one point, I believe I looked at the Default.ini and the format was very different from what it is on 0.8.2, but I've downgraded to fix the problem and don't have a copy of the -r2 ini.
Comment 25 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2009-07-24 14:16:18 UTC
I forgot to add a comment here that libcompizconfig-0.8.2-r2 has been masked.
I'll keep working on this.
Comment 26 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-27 08:04:18 UTC
ppc/ppc64 have iniparser marked, please add us back when we're needed.
Comment 27 BRULE Herman 2010-03-02 21:08:54 UTC
Bug too under 0.8.4:
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'yes'

Patch for libcompizconfig-0.8.8.ebuild

Bug still presents in libcompizconfig-0.8.8.ebuild

Suggesting patch for ebuild to fix in. Please commit it as 0.8.8-r1
Comment 29 Naohiro Aota gentoo-dev 2012-08-27 15:29:02 UTC
The patch mostly seems fine. However I'm not completely sure libcompizconfig-0.8.2/src/ini.c change. Are there any upstream discussion about this issue?

No, i did not find any discussion about that. It seems that upstream thinks that this is normal behaviour

Patch for libcompizconfig-0.8.8.ebuild

It seems that this patch is someway broken - with it ini files are broken and unusuable :-(
