Bug#667472: gramps desktop file needs GenericName entries

2012-04-05 Thread James A. Treacy
FYI, if you file any more bugs like this, you should add a link to
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CorrectDesktopFiles
which gives a good description of the situation.

Gramps upstream is addressing this. Since it affects translations, the
fix will not be available until the next release.

 The gramps desktop file needs GenericName entries and the Name entry

 description.
 The attached patch fixes this issue.

I'm currently talking to upstream about this. All references I have
found show GenericName to be optional. Please send a link to the
specification that requires this format.

 Please, update debian package.

The problem is that Debian is in deep freeze for the upcoming release.
This means that only bug fixes can be included in package uploads.

As soon as the next version of Debian is released, unstable and testing
will get the latest version of gramps. In the meantime, I will see if I
can get the patch for this bug from upstream and upload a new package
containing only that change.

I am requesting a freeze exception for gramps to a fix a bug

I thought you might like a heads up. It appears that there has been
a lot of refactoring of the code and that the command line should
function without X in gramps 3.3. The down side is that 3.3 isn't
expected to be released for at least 3 months.

The directory structure changed because the files were not partitioned
very well using the old scheme. The new structure uses the last two
characters of the filename, before the .html, in reverse order.

This was not well advertised before the change migrated to a stable
release but discussions since then have stated that the change is a
good idea and permanent. Adding an option to the narrative web page
generation to generate links from the old to the new structure was
vetoed.

Since the file structure is so simple you should be able to handle
this from your end by modifying the generation of your graphviz file.

Let me know if this information is sufficient so I can close the bug
report.

Bug#519367: man gives errors on polish man page for gramps

2009-03-11 Thread James A. Treacy
Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.4-2

The Polish version of the man page for gramps works
fine in most circumstances (it can be grabbed from
http://people.debian.org/~treacy/gramps_pl.1) but produces many errors
when run the way lintian tests it.

For example, the following produce no errors (LANG=en_US.UTF-8):
/usr/bin/man --warnings -l gramps_pl.1  /dev/null
LANG=C /usr/bin/man --warnings -l gramps_pl.1  /dev/null
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/bin/man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l gramps_pl.1  /dev/null

but the following produces many errors. It is essentially the command
that lintian uses to test man pages:
LANG=C /usr/bin/man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l gramps_pl.1  /dev/null

If this is simply a problem with the man page, an explanation of what
is wrong would be appreciated.

Bug#518364: Adding python gtkspell functionality brings in unneeded gnome packages

2009-03-05 Thread James A. Treacy
Package: python-gnome2-extras
Version: 2.22.0-1

python gtkspell is a gtk module but is included in
python-gnome2-extras. Thus, any gtk applications adding spell checking
requires the installation of many gnome packages that aren't needed.

A partial list of packages that need to be installed is:

# aptitude install python-gnome2-extras
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gnome-media{a} gnome-media-common{a} libgda3-3{a} libgda3-bin{a} 
libgda3-common{a} libgdl-1-0{a} 
  libgksu1.2-0{a} libgksuui1.0-1{a} libgnome-media0{a} libgnomecups1.0-1{a} 
libgnomeprint2.2-0{a} 
  libgnomeprint2.2-data{a} libgnomeprintui2.2-0{a} libgnomeprintui2.2-common{a} 
libgtkhtml2-0{a} 
  libgtksourceview-common{a} libgtksourceview1.0-0{a} libgtkspell0{a} 
libtotem-plparser10{a} 
  python-eggtrayicon{a} python-gnome2-desktop{a} python-gnome2-extras 
python-gtkhtml2{a} python-gtkmozembed{a} 
  python-pyorbit{a}

It is only a partial list as the gstreamer packages, among others, are
already on my system due to other dependencies.

I don't consider this a wishlist bug as it adds many packages to a
system and affects any gtk application using spell checking.

 I can as well confirm the bug in Debian Lenny (Gramps 3.0.1) as the

As I understand the bug, it only affects people working from the

of 3.0.3 into lenny is highly unlikely at this late date.

What I suggest is that you (and anyone else affected by this bug)
download 3.0.3-1 from sourceforge:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gramps/gramps_3.0.3-1_Debian.deb?modtime=1224539735big_mirror=0
This is the same package as is in debian sid. I am referencing this
version instead of the one from sid as the one in sid will change with
time and if dependencies change in future gramps packages they may not
install on lenny.

You can then install the pacakge using: sudo dpkg -i gramps_3.0.3-1_Debian.deb

Can you come up with a less generic term than 'evacuation'? Most
people would not guess the specific meaning intended. Would it be
acceptable to add evacuation in the generic sense? You would
then be free to explain more fully in the description.

How commonly used are the other terms? I could not find a definition
for hadg. The only definition I could find for Hupa is a member of the
Athapaskan people of California. Giyur I did find. My preference would
be to use the Custom tag for rarely used events.

Unfortunately, I do not at present see a way to define a custom event.
I will bring this issue upstream.

Bug#474056: gramps: needs python2.5 but does not depend on it, and fails to install in minimal environment

2008-04-03 Thread James A. Treacy
Simon,
Thank you for the additional information and the patch.

As you seem quite familiar with the python infrastructure I thought
I'd mention one thing. You removed the python-minimal dependency,
which I know is not recommended. The reason I added that is to
ensure that a recent enough version is installed.

After initially building the new version of gramps, it wouldn't
install. I tracked it down to having an old version of python-minimal;
/usr/share/python/debian_defaults was not up to date. This made it
impossible to install gramps as python 2.5 wasn't in the list of
supported versions.

As python has a strict version dependency on python-minimal I have
changed the python-minimal dependency to python (= 2.4.4-6). Does
that seem reasonable to you?

Bug#445864: gramps: crashes on start

2007-10-09 Thread James A. Treacy
 Package: gramps
 Version: 2.2.8-1
 Severity: grave
 
 When starting gramps, whether from the Applications menu or from the
 command line, it crashes immediately.  The only window I see is the
 bug-buddy window.  The log that bug-buddy produces is attached; I
 installed several debug packages to get a better backtrace.

I am unable to reproduce the problem here. I suspect that this is due
to the recent upgrade to the gnome packages. Can you do a full upgrade
to your system to see if this clears up the problem?

As a general statement, though, I would agree that the contents of

2005-10-28 Thread James A. Treacy

The following code causes python to segfault:

import gtkspell

text_view = gtk.TextView()
spell = gtkspell.Spell(text_view)
spell.set_language(None)

On a related note, is there a recommended method for determining the
locale from the system? Additionally, how should the situation where
there is no default language be dealt with?

The following can lead to the above situation when no default language
is set in the system. How do you suggest this be handled?

import locale
import gtk
import gtkspell
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'C')
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')
text_view = gtk.TextView()
spell = gtkspell.Spell(text_view)
lang = locale.getlocale()[0]
spell.set_language(lang)

Bug#335968: gramps: Segmentation fault

2005-10-27 Thread James A. Treacy
severity 335968 important
stop

This bug has been downgraded to important as it only seems to affect
some machines. It doesn't crash on my workstation (athlon; linux
2.6.11.7) but does crash on my laptop (pentium M; crashes under linux
2.6.14-rc5 and 2.6.9). Both machines are running the latest version of
sid.

(gdb) run /usr/share/gramps/gramps.py
[snip]
Running gramps under gdb results in the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):

What is odd here is that the failure seems to be different from what
Jeffrey reported. As Alex has already stated, this bug is not due to
gramps. At a minimum, what we need to do is narrow down the problem so
the bug can be reassigned to the proper place.

Bug#334122: Receive an Segmentation fault when launching gramps

 Cannot launch gramps as it exits with an Segmentation fault error.

This is almost certainly a problem with python or the gtk/gnome bindings.
Try starting python and importing modules:
$ python
 import gtk
 import gnome
 import gconf
 import gtkspell

If the modules all imported without problems, run gdb on python and
then run gramps:
$ gdb /usr/bin/python
(gdb) run /usr/share/gramps/gramps.py

If, as I suspect, this is a problem with gtkspell, you can still use
gramps by uninstalling gtkspell.

Bug#327297: gramps 2.0.8-1 segfaults on startup on AMD64

It would be useful if you could run gramps under gdb:
 $ cd /usr/share/gramps
 $ gdb /usr/bin/python
 (gdb) run gramps.py
after it segfaults then type
 (gdb) backtrace

Please send the results of the backtrace as a reply. This should help
us identify which library has the bug and refile the bug against that
package.

 This package should provide fftw2, otherwise I can't install this

The description for the package explains why things are as they are:
  This library uses the same interface as fftw but is not a drop-in
  replacement as it requires vectors to be 16-byte aligned. It is
  currently limited to double precision only. The code is tuned for

BTW, it is possible for you to install grace by using

Bug#296846: Text Object Properties does not display

2005-02-24 Thread James A. Treacy
Package: glabels
Version: 2.0.1-1
Priority: important

It is impossible to create or edit a text object as the properties
part of the window goes blank when a text object is selected.
Everything appears normal for a split second before going blank.
All the other objects work properly.

This is on a a just a machine that was just updated to the most recent
sid. It was tested on two separate machines.

This bug is probably priority grave as the text object is certainly the
most used but I decided to be a bit conservative.
