TJ, I would very much like to start integrating your changes into the main trunk, so we can keep this manageable. I'm beginning to get worried that you are going to send me a hundred different patches, and this is going to get very complicated. Maybe at this point, you should branch OpenShot, and publish your own branch in bzr (on LaunchPad). That might simplify the integration. I can help you debug stuff once I get the same version of OpenShot as you are running.
This is an important step... that is, to integrate your packaging changes into the main line, and for me to tie in my newest chagnes... so we are all on the same version. Sorry, I'm not trying to rush you, I just want to help out. =) Thanks, -Jonathan On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 7:18 AM, TJ <[email protected]> wrote: > > The openshot package seems to be correct although not yet complete - I > have to write the man-page and tidy a few bits up. > > I'm now working on getting openshot to actually start. > > I've had to refactor all the path-specific code and so far that is > looking good. > > Right now openshot gets to the point of drawing the initial GUI window > (just the main window border with no panes so far). > > Something is causing a SEGFAULT at this point which kills Python. > > I'm using the Python debugger to trace to the point that is causing it. > I think it is in the project code related to the Westley.xml file and > its location (I've refactored that to use the ~/.opneshot/ directory > since it has to be writeable). > > However, when running the debugger I noticed that some key global > variables in the openshot module that contains the main() entry point > are not being evaluated. > > This a pretty major problem since the values not being evaluated are the > paths to the key parts of the installation: > > BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)) > GLADE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "openshot", "windows", "glade") > IMAGE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "images") > PROFILES_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "profiles") > PROJECT_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "projects") > TRANSITIONS_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "transitions") > > When openshot starts without the debugger it reports: > > -------------------------------- > OpenShot (version 0.9.24) > base = /usr/share/openshot > -------------------------------- > > But with the debugger (python -m pdb launcher) it's: > > -------------------------------- > OpenShot (version 0.9.24) > base = > -------------------------------- > > You notice 'base' (BASE_DIR) is empty? > > I have to figure this out before I can use the debugger to track down > the real issues. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: > https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenshot.developers> > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : > https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenshot.developers> > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp >
