x11-wm/sawfish-1.7.0 version bump Reproducible: Always
Hi. Let me send ebuilds for x11-wm/sawfish and its backend dev-libs/rep-gtk. And please bump x11-libs/rep-gtk to 0.90.4. Renaming the last ebuild in the portage tree suffices. The attached version of Sawfish is 1.7.0.1, which fixes a new bug in 1.7.0. Changes in sawfish-1.7.0.1.ebuild from the latest in portage tree: Updated dependency. Dropped a bugfix patch which was necessary for 1.6.3. Minor fix in dodoc, by dropping "DOC" file which is used by Sawfish, and not human readable. Changes in librep-0.91.0 from the latest in portage tree: Added one new USE flag, gmp. Dodoc files are updated. Homepage update. Added elog, saying : elog "If you have updated from librep < 0.91.0, then you have to" elog "rebuild x11-libs/rep-gtk and x11-wm/sawfish, in this order." (I understand tab should be used, instead of spaces. :) In sawfish's ebuild, there remains snapshot building support, but I think it can be deleted. In 2003 - 2008 Sawfish development was stale, and gentoo made CVS snapshot ebuilds. But now releases are made regularly. Thanks beforehand.

Created attachment 260642 [details] sawfish-1.7.1.ebuild with emacs support. This new ebuild supports emacs; sawfish.el is included in Sawfish >= 1.7.0. I named the attachment as sawfish-1.7.0.1.ebuild, but in fact it can be used for any of 1.7.0, 1.7.0.1, and 1.7.1.

Open gconf-editor go to "/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager" and replace by windowmanager metacity with sawfish. If you restart the gnome-session sawfish and not metacity will run in gnome.
Don't understand why it doesn't work for me :-( Does it work when login in sawfish directly after selecting it in sessions menu from gdm?
(In reply to comment #14) > Don't understand why it doesn't work for me :-( > > Does it work when login in sawfish directly after selecting it in sessions menu > from gdm? Yes. I can run sawfish direkt from gdm as windowmanager. Have you add a other windowmanager or script in ~/.xinitrc or in gnome-session-properties that run by login"? I also don't understand that, it's not a know bug.

It still fails for me even on a new created user account In /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager I am using "gnome-wm" that shouldn't cause problems as it doesn't cause problems for icewm, openbox and sawfish-1.6.3 When running from a failsafe console, I have seen I can make it start if simply running "sawfish", but it fails when running "/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession sawfish"
(In reply to comment #17) > > When running from a failsafe console, I have seen I can make it start if simply > running "sawfish", but it fails when running "/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession sawfish" Move ~/.sawfish and try again so that sawfish start without any custom scipts/lips and defaut settings. If sawfish then not work i have no idea.
I tried it at first time without success :(

Would be nice if you could contact upstream in their mailing list or IRC channel, I tried to ask on IRC at end July and didn't get any reply... maybe you are luckier (I will be devaway again for the first week of September and probably around third week also :S and, then, won't have time for this)

Try then with my ebuilds (in non-obsolete attachments shown above in this report) as maybe they are missing anything :-/

I also add a emacs file and you can set the emacs use-flag in sawfish, it makes "app-emacs/sawfish" obsolete.

Regarding emacs stuff, why do you prefer to merge it into the same sawfish.ebuild? Looking to app-emacs category seems that the way to go is current one (a different ebuild for emacs stuff). It would also reduce changes over current ebuilds...

A updated emacs file is in the sawfish sources. You only have the "SITEFILE" in the ebuild and it is not a emacs app. If you want to run/support sawish code in emacs you need the useflag emacs. Look at other ebuild with emacs flag like app-text/a2ps dev-scheme/guile dev-vcs/git etc. and you understand how it work. I not sure, but i think i'am not wrong with my ebuild here.
Yep, since Sawfish-1.7.0, sawfish.el, the emacs major-mode for Sawfish, is included in the Sawfish itself, and it has many updates. See for example: http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/2010_10_02:_sawfish_1.7.0_released and search for "emacs" inside that page. And examples like git are correct, aren't they? With best regards.

I just switched from sawfish-1.6.3 to your new ebuilds including sawfish-1.8.1-r1, and hit the same problem. (Not exactly the same setup, though, because I first tried the new sawfish from within my chrooted test environment, running Xephyr inside the "real" X. However, I got the same message.) Recompiling with optimization flags -O? removed resolved the bug for me. Can you please try this out? Attached below an ebuild patch, using 'flag-o-matic' to remove -O? from CFLAGS. Regards.

(In reply to comment #39) > Created attachment 285295 [details, diff] > filter optimization -O? from CFLAGS With your patch we have 2x inherit in the ebuild! On my x86 system i don't have this problems. What for "CFLAGS" do you use, do you use recommended settings?

What for "CFLAGS" do you use, do > you use recommended settings? You are of course right with the double 'inherit', although it is new to me that this is not ok. I'm not an ebuild expert, however. The 1st time I used the vanilla CFLAGS for my machine, as they are set in 'make.conf' during inital install, CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" however, when I run into the bug I decided to takle the problem, set CFLAGS="-g" and RESTRICT=strip in an temporary ebuild, and prepared myself to use gdb with sawfish. But then the bug disapeard ... Maybe I give it a try by just adding "-g" to CFLAGS, however, since I think debugging X11 problems is rather difficult, I don't know yet. Without -O2 it just works for me, and IMO optimization is not a big issue with sawfish, since I think that most time is spend in its lisp code anyway.
I have looked into that problem with gdb, and send a bug report + fix to the mailing list on sawfish@lists.tuxfamily.org (Indeed wether using `-O2' or not has changed things). It got an response from one of the developers, that he has accepted it and made a commit (`3df9fa36e731f941aa1f83b1fa38a4b18489aed8', "Fix a bug in manager selection handling.") It is not yet in the "offical" tree at http://git.tuxfamily.org/sawfish/main.git, though. The small changes to are attached as `sawfish-icccm-selection.patch', and the new `epatch' line in the ebuild as `sawfish-icccm-selection-ebuild.patch'. I works for me (_with_ default compiler settings), and if that works for you, sawfish could be bumped in gentoo. Or not?
