GtkPixbuf from Char buffer
Hi, were developing an application which is supposed to show user images downloaded from web server using xmlrpc. The problem is that we cant quite figure out how to create a pixbuf from a buffer which contains the RAW contents of a file. Functions like: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata all seem to expect the image to be in some particular format already, while what we need is more like gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() which is able to autodetect everything and just read the file. All information that our application has about the image are: - Name of file. - Size of file. - Contents of file. -- Arto Karppinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: GtkPixbuf from Char buffer
arto, have you considered caching the downloaded file to disk and reading from there using the standard function? This would give you the obvious benefit of allowing offline usage and faster requerying. There isn't an infinite amount of memory available and having to download images everytime could cause user angst. I believe /tmp is mapped to real memory and not the flash drive, so would not cause real problems and wouldn't be much slower (someone can confirm this?) Even though it may require a little bit more time to organise a cache file plan, it may be worth it in the end?

Re: GtkPixbuf from Char buffer
Hello! One way is to create GdkPixbufLoader and feed your image with gdk_pixbuf_loader_write. It will parse it and give you GdkPixbuf. Another way is to save data into temporary file and do gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file (). Thanks, Daniil.

How to get a general utility package cross-listed from tools to extras?
I am writing a package that uses the bluez-utils-test, which are a set of configuration utilities for the bluez stack and there are some functions there which aren't available (or have side-effects) using dbus or other things on the platform. There are probably others. The big two are rfcomm and l2ping. l2ping since for trusted devices will search for the device with the least interference and resource consumption (anything else will all but shut off wifi), and rfcomm because the interface is simple. The others are also useful. They are like ifconfig, iwconfig, iwlist, mount and other utilities which are included. The problem is they are only visible in red-pill-mode or with an apt-get. There are probably other utilities (things like traceroute, socat, etc.) which strictly are utilities, not just SDK or developer items. GCC, probably not. So first I'm asking if anyone else knows of packages that are only available in red-pill mode, but are generally useful. And second, if something could be created to vote a package into extras or a user section. Right now, such packages are in limbo - Nokia distributes it and generally insures it works for development but doesn't support it for user installation. But because it is a Nokia package, it isn't going to be supported or accessible by users. Some of these are auxiliary programs that go with the features, in the case of blues-utils-test, the bluez stack, which they have to be kept in sync with. Or do I just have to create a garage project for the identical packages, then submit them for moving into extras? Then what if Nokia updates the base package? ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

So first I'm asking if anyone else knows of packages that are only available in red-pill mode, but are generally useful. Define generally. For me strace (in maemo tools repo) is generally more useful than for example socat. :-) And second, if something could be created to vote a package into extras or a user section.

Some of these are auxiliary programs that go with the features, in the case of blues-utils-test, the bluez stack, which they have to be kept in sync with. Packages in user sections should really be something visible to normal user (go to application menu, have icon and UI, be translated etc), not things for which you need command line. For command line things, install ssh and do the command line stuff on the device from your desktop, install stuff with apt-get etc. (it's anyway much nicer for installing a large amount of packages and you see the potential issues immediately instead of needing to click your way into View log dialog). Or do I just have to create a garage project for the identical packages, then submit them for moving into extras? Then what if Nokia updates the base package? I still fail to see the problem you're trying to solve. Or are you worried about cross-repository dependencies?

Safety through education or the Red Pill mode wiki article
In the interest of (hopefully) reducing usage of Red Pill mode by educating users rather than scaring them, I've started a new wiki article on the subject, using the old midgard article, and h-a-m's Garage documentation as a base.[1] I need a breakdown of exactly what Red Pill mode does, though, specifically in the way of disabled safety locks (allowing conflicting packages to be removed, upgrading system packages, etc.). I have a general idea, but because I'm feeling tired and lazy, I'd figure I'd pole the list to compile a list for me rather than doing it myself. ;) [1]http://wiki.maemo.org/Red_Pill -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
