Hi, Please find attached xpra-0.0.7.17-r2.ebuild Xpra is "screen for X", here's the blurb from the website: "Xpra gives you "persistent remote applications" for X. That is, unlike normal X applications, applications run with xpra are "persistent" -- you can run them remotely, and they don't die if your connection does. You can detach them, and reattach them later -- even from another computer -- with no loss of state. And unlike VNC or RDP, xpra is for remote applications, not remote desktops -- individual applications show up as individual windows on your screen, managed by your window manager." This ebuild pulls the source snapshots not from upstream but from my own repository which is much more up to date than upstream (and has many bug fixes that take months to make it to upstream, if ever). This is what people use (including on freebsd, mac and windows), because this version just works. It is also the version required for using it with the winswitch gui, for which I will provide a separate ebuild later. The only thing I don't know how to do is how to get the setup.py to take command line arguments so that you can build just the client (without needing to pull in the large number of server build dependencies: many of the X11 library headers). So that one could build a version which only supports running as client (like mac osx and windows users do because they have to). If you know how that can be done easily, just let me know and I'll update the ebuild and setup.py Thanks Antoine

Antoine, below is the build log for the failure I mentioned in Bug 353662 and here's emerge --info. This was with USE="server ssh".

Created attachment 264315 [details, diff] updated ebuild fixes missing deoendency on pygtk This ebuild now includes the dependency on PyGTK which I had missed. I have also tested it on a base system with nothing installed at all (stage3 + minimal) and it correctly pulled in everything (including X, pygtk and friends)
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is there any scope for a server-only build, and would this avoid the dependency on pyGTK?
It's the other way around: there is scope for a client only, which connects to server but does not export applications from the machine it is running on. Typically, this would be a thin client. (compiling the client only does not require any header files or anything extra - just the few python dependencies)
Clarification: both the client and the server require PyGTK, this cannot be avoided no matter what as this is what xpra is built on. The server requires a number of X11 headers to build glue code that is not available through PyGTK (or GTK)
Created attachment 268093 [details] new ebuild - version bump + adds ability to build client only I've solved the client-only build by selectively applying a patch when USE="-server" This ensures that the server parts are not built (the ones that require lots of extra X11 headers and libraries), and also ensures that the resulting installation knows about the fact that this is a client-only build: so it won't give you the option to start/stop/list servers. It simply toggles the flag (which is normally unset on platforms that do not support servers like win32 and osx)
Some updates, the proper website for this xpra fork is now: http://xpra.org/ You can find the latest ebuild here: http://xpra.org/trac/browser/trunk/scripts or directly via svn here: http://xpra.org/svn/Xpra/trunk/scripts/ (note: the source for this ebuild version is not out yet) I am hoping to push a new release out today with a number of significant improvements all over the map.
Antoine, i couldn't find the mentioned .patch file? can you please attach it here or an URL, thanks *xpra-0.0.7.30 (04 Nov 2011) 04 Nov 2011; Michael Weber <xmw@gentoo.org> +xpra-0.0.7.30.ebuild, +metadata.xml: Initial import (thanks to Antoine Martin, soxx, bug 352974, bug 353661)
Hah, yes the patch file is distributed as part of the tar snapshots (so other distros can use it too, ie: freebsd ports, etc): if ! use server; then epatch "${FILESDIR}"/disable-posix-server.patch fi You can browse this patch directly via trac here: http://xpra.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/disable-posix-server.patch or in raw form via svn-http here: http://xpra.org/svn/Xpra/trunk/src/disable-posix-server.patch
(In reply to comment #11) > Hah, yes the patch file is distributed as part of the tar snapshots (so other > distros can use it too, ie: freebsd ports, etc): The direcorty containing the snapshot is ${WORKDIR}, and the patch location ${S} aka ${WORKDIR}/${P} in most cases. ${S} is pwd in all src_* except src_unpack fixed.
0.0.7.32 is an important update and fixes a number of bugs, announcement here: http://lists.devloop.org.uk/pipermail/shifter-users/2011-December/000105.html FYI, the "libnotify" dependency no longer requires python-notify, only dev-python/dbus-python I have merged the rest of your ebuild changes into svn: http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/374 The latest ebuilds I use can be found here: http://winswitch.org/dists/gentoo/ Thanks!
Please do not switch topics - esp on closed bugs. Open new ones instead. Thanks +*xpra-0.0.7.32 (17 Dec 2011) + + 17 Dec 2011; Michael Weber <xmw@gentoo.org> +xpra-0.0.7.32.ebuild: + Version bump, thanks Antoine Martin for the hint. +
