Hi folks
A new version of the complete r2l package is here: 0.1.0
The main change is that the code for refreshd is in. I have not included
Emil's biditext binary, as it seemed to me that it is simpler to do in a
shell script (see my previous post), and anyway, it should be part of the
existing biditext script.
You can get it from
http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/R2L/r2l-tarball
There are many files there (see the README). r2l-0.1.0.tar.gz is the
tarball that includes everything. There is also an rpm package.
To run refreshd: simply run 'refreshd'
To run a client with refreshd support: For the moment you'll have to use:
BIDITEXT_FILENAME=`r2l p token`
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/biditext.so:/usr/lib/refreshd_hook.so command_and_params
Emil: refreshd fails if BIDITEXT_FILENAME is not set. but you shouldn't
query the environment directly: you should ask r2llib what is the token
(as I did in the above command).
TODO:
* finish the merge of refreshd
- add refreshd_hook support to the biditext script
- init.d script (inluding 'status' ?)
- check if my refreshd tarball builds outside r2l-package
- 'make pack' for the refreshd tarball
- I'm not sure I really like the way I modified those makefiles
* kde applet (Guy? Shlomi?)
* automatic configuration (autoconf, or a home-made mini-autoconf).
* strip binaries
* Write a more complete README
An idea for the GUIs: indicate if refreshd is running. allow
strating/stopping it
The main item in the TODO list is the automatic config: The package needs
to compile out-of-the-box at least on common linux configs. A couple of
problems:
- QT and KDE directories
- libdockapp
- use a system r2llib if installed?
- locatoin of X11 headers/libs
