I'm not well-versed in patch etiquette, so please forgive me. I'm sure that applying a patch as root to a file which is sure to be replaced when screenlets 0.1.3 comes out is not the "accepted" way of doing things.
I'll work on getting a patched screenlet "package" up on gnome-look.org (called TomboyOneDotOhScreenlet) for people who don't want to get their hands dirty with symlinks or modifying the code (not that it's *that* hard). Installing a "personal" version of the screenlet with the patch already applied is, admittedly, probably the easiest way for the average user to fix the problem, for now. I have not made an attempt to test the patched screenlet with a version of Tomboy prior to 1.0.0 (I have an old Intrepid/8.10 machine around here somewhere), but it *will* fix the note directory issue for a Karmic/9.10 system. If the output of 'tomboy --version' from older versions of Tomboy differs significantly from: Tomboy: A simple, easy to use desktop note-taking application. Copyright (C) 2004-2006 Alex Graveley <[email protected]> Version 1.0.0 then the regexp (r'.*?Version\s+([0-9.]+)', re.DOTALL) won't match, and the screenlet will probably bomb out with "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'" or something like that. Before I'm through, I'd like to add some error checking for that, and also check to make sure 'tomboy' exists in the path to be executed in the first place. ** Patch added: "Run 'patch -p0 <patchfile' in /usr/share/screenlets/Tomboy (as root)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50770933/TomboyScreenlet-fixed-for-1.0.0.patch -- Tomboy screenlet uses wrong (old) notes directory for Tomboy 1.0.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Screenlets Dev Team, which is subscribed to Screenlets. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
