The so-called "fluff" is only "fake" if one fails to actually care
about people's feelings.  Blaming the victim, and putting the onus on
the abused to respond differently rather than addressing one's own
abusive behavior, is itself further abuse.  If a person is hurting
people's feelings with their words and causing others to feel badly
about themselves, THAT PERSON is the problem, and the solution is that
person changing THEMSELVES, not everyone else making excuses for them
and saying, "Well that's just so-and-so.  He's an ass."  Expecting
everyone else to change to accommodate one's own personal failings is
selfish, narcissistic, and just plain wrong.

So what if it takes you more time to choose your words carefully?
That's time well spent if it saves others from having to endure the
sting of cyberbullying.

I can say these things because I used to be the resident asshole of
this community.  I used to be the one who was insulting, abusive, and
downright mean.  I set a really shitty example, and I'm not proud of
who I used to be.  But I've grown up now.  And I encourage anyone else
who might be treating others badly to do the same.  If I can do it,
anyone can.

I think E very much needs a Code of Conduct, and its contents should
be considered carefully if its purpose is to make sure people are
treated fairly, particularly women and other under-represented
minorities, within the community.  The Enlightenment project, despite
its name, has not been very enlightened over the years in the way it
has dealt with people who aren't straight white men, and that has
undoubtedly cost us contributors.  (Yes, I know I bear a rather large
amount of responsibility for that.  And that makes me very sad.)  Much
of the reason has to do with our long-held tradition of harsh
criticism and verbal abuse in the face of perceived "stupidity" (which
was in most cases, and continues to be, more about ignorance, apathy,
and/or error).  Even being blunt and harsh with people who claim they
can handle it, or might even prefer it, may still scare off potential
timid contributors.  Everyone making the effort to treat each other
better will pay off handsomely in the long run!

In the interest of improvement, I offer this:
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Code_of_conduct_evaluations  I
think it offers some valuable insights into what might be missing from
the current version as well as some alternatives from other projects
that have proven successful and effective.

It might also be educational for the men in the community to read this
list of reasons why women don't tend to contribute to Wikipedia --
many of their reasons resonate in the open source world as well!

It should be fairly trivial.  It's just an action binding which leads
to the following:

XSetInputFocus(Xdisplay, my_window, RevertToParent, CurrentTime);
XRaiseWindow(Xdisplay, my_window);

Eterm's escape sequence for that is "\e]5;\a" if you want to use the same one.

If you have a static background, and if it's the same for all
desktops, use Esetroot (comes with Eterm) to set the pseudotransparent
background to the same image as your E background.  If it's not the
same for all desktops, you'll have to keep gkrellm on just one
desktop.  You're better off using a compositor.

e17setroot was an independent project and stopped working ages ago.

This is incorrect.  Adding reply-to is bad behavior.  Here's why:

http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

The most important reason being that it becomes essentially impossible
for most e-mail clients, including GMail, to "reply to author only."
This can make for very embarassing public posts which were not meant
to be, among other things.

It boggles my mind how people who've been using e-mail for 15+ years
have managed to go this long without ever having to reply to more than
the original sender of an e-mail. :-P

It shouldn't be.  What *should* happen is that you determine to whom
you wish to reply and then take appropriate action.  Yes, this
requires thought.  Most worthwhile things do.

How?  How does one override it?  Most e-mail clients only have 2

in the majority of cases.

How about "Hardware Controls?"  Just calling it "Buttons" is even
worse than "ACPI," not because Grandma won't know what it means, but
rather because Grandma won't know to which meaning of "Buttons" it
refers.  It's too broad/general.  Mouse buttons?  Toolbar buttons?
Menubar buttons?  Whatever interpretation comes to Grandma's mind

If you check out the Eterm-0.10 branch from SVN, it *does* feature
UTF-8 support.  Feedback on this is most welcome as it may still have

Eterm is "complete" and rock-solid.  It is not, however, based on evas
or the current EFL; it still uses Imlib2 for the time being.  (That
will change.)  Many people still use it every day, myself obviously
included.  And AFAIK, no other terminal sports a feature like Escreen.

I'm not sure why you think that's "strange" or what point you're
trying to make here.

As for not knowing your airport code, the vast majority of people do
know them, even if you don't.  And I'll guarantee you that
significantly more people know their airport code than know their
obscure Yahoo! weather code.

Google for airport code or ICAO code if you want to find yours.

That's exactly why Yahoo! uses a different system -- because it
provides greater granularity.  But it does so at the expense of
accessibility.

There's a big difference between "one who offers constructive
criticism" and "whiny little bitch."  Had the referenced e-mail been
more of an inquiry or a suggestion, the responses would have been
quite different (though what Gustavo said would still have been the
bottom line -- it's being replaced by a dbus-based tool which will
have largely equivalent functionality eventually).  But that's not
what happened.

Most authors, myself included, are thrilled to pieces when others find
their software useful enough to use it.  That's why we do what we do.
But that doesn't mean it's okay to chew out an author because he does
something you don't agree with with software that HE wrote and that HE
gave away for free despite the massive amount of hours that went into
it.

Stop whining.  E is free.  If you were paying for it, you might have a
right to get mad, but you're not, and you don't.  So stop being a

Ignore him.  He was being rude.  He doesn't seem to realize that
server-side X resources are not stored as pointers on the client side
and thus probably aren't trackable via valgrind.  Not to mention that
trying to track leaks and resources with gdb is like using an
astrolabe for automobile navigation.

It sounds like there are a few different people experiencing strange
server-side leaks, but if xrestop isn't showing anything, it may
simply be a server-specific issue.  I'm not sure we can offer much
help on that.

Umm, no?  There are only 2 pixmaps, and 1K is only 10MB.  You have
a 3200x1200 desktop.  Assuming 24bpp, that's 3*3200*1200, or 1152
bytes (about 10MB).

There already is one, and if Imlib2 is not found, the portion of the
code that contains calls to that function will not be compiled in.

There are two possibilities here:  Either Imlib2 was found, and
something on your system is preventing proper linkage, or you built
LibAST with Imlib2 support but tried to build Eterm without it.

This is not true.  gcc 4 is actually quite new, in the grand scheme of
compiler lifespan, and a lot of code does not compile with it.  It is
perfectly reasonable for a particular distribution to stick with gcc
3.x for the time being, and eina should not require gcc 4 to build.

[e-users] imlib2-1.4.1 Released

2008-06-09 Thread Michael Jennings
Imlib2 1.4.1 has been released to address security vulnerabilities in

applications linked against Imlib2 to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application (or root, if the
application is setuid/setgid).

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest release
immediately.

I'd like to try to keep this productive, but I think the FUD here
needs to be addressed.

RPM convention is to have the package name (i.e., the RPM name) match
the upstream package name (i.e., the tarball name), so that is the
convention we follow.  Distributions which violate that standard are
incorrect and will obviously require spec file changes.

I'll admit that I haven't done a build run recently, so there may be
some spec file drift in current CVS.  I will resolve that very soon.
Obviously packages which use *.spec instead of *.spec.in are more
prone to this drift.

That said, I just tested eet, and both of the following worked fine
and build both source and binary packages:

$ ./autogen.sh && make dist && mzbuild
$ ./autogen.sh && make dist && rpmbuild -ta eet*.tar.gz

So yes, they are exactly intended to work with E CVS as shown above.
They follow standard RPM best practices and conventions and work with
standard tools (i.e., rpmbuild) as well as supplemental toolkits such
as Mezzanine and pkgbuilder.

Actually, last I heard the spec files in CVS worked fine on SuSE.  If
this is no longer the case, we can certainly look at what changes
would need to be made to them.

Your loss.  And there was no need to be rude.

But Mezzanine works just fine on SuSE and can be built from the SRPM
found at http://beta.kainx.org/wiki/view/Mezzanine.  It's quite useful
for anyone building or managing RPMs and SRPMs regardless of distro.

This can already be done pretty easily.  I generally do:

./autogen.sh && make dist && mzbuild

For those who don't have Mezzanine, rpmbuild -ta on the tarball works
too.

cpio is the internal format that RPM stores files in.  The "rename"
error comes not from permissions but rather from trying to replace a
directory with a symbolic link.  This operation must be done in
%pretrans, which the packager probably didn't know.

which do not require specialized "remote control" tools beyond a
simple text editor.  But even they provide mechanisms for controlling
program behavior from afar, from JavaScript and Script-Fu to special
command line parameters.

An automated way of manipulating program configuration is both wanted
and needed.

The current implementation of E IPC is pretty ugly, yes.  That doesn't
mean IPC is bad.  It means the IPC code was not designed properly.

This is actually an issue with multibyte fonts and really has little
to do with Eterm.  It's an Xlib problem.  It just so happens that
Eterm loads all its fonts in advance instead of waiting until they're
used...a behavior which I'll probably have to revert because of this.
Just haven't yet.

Please be reasonable.  "eppp" makes perfect sense; the only thing

anything about PPP, and "eras" evokes "erase" long before anything
about dial-up networking.

Yes, they do, and as raster said, libtool doesn't give us much choice
in that regard.  That was his point. :)  It's up to packagers to Do
The Right Thing in those situations.

Personally I don't think having the .a or .la files there is a big

No, raster's right.  Using libtool basically forces us to install the
*.a files with "make install," but if you look at the spec files for
e, evas, etc., you'll see this:

rm -f `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/enlightenment -name "*.a" -print`

I think you were confused about what "sample package files" meant.

If you mean over a year and a half ago, then I did point out to you

I generally point people in the right direction, but it's beyond the

That puts a lot of undue strain on our CVS server(s) for no good
reason.  If you have one or more files that show up with conflicts
(that's what the 'C' at the beginning of the line means), and you know
you haven't directly/intentionally modified those files, remove JUST
THOSE FILES and redo the update.

Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power.  Personal preference, I

Yes, because that's the solution to all problems:  Nuke everything and
start over.  Reboot.  Reinstall.  Don't try to educate people on
what's actually going wrong or why things are behaving differently.
Don't encourage people to seek out information or learn anything new.
Just perpetuate the ignorant automatons and reinforce the mantra:
Restart.  Reboot.  Reinstall.

I've had the same problem using the CVS version, but only on some
machines, and it's not at all consistent.  One of these days I'm going
to have to sort through the recent changes and see if I can find the
one responsible.

Why not just put "icon " in the imageclasses context of the
pyrrho and orthanc theme.cfg files?  Your icons clearly seem to be
based on Eterm theme, so it seems far more logical than trying to use
E to do title matches.

>From Eterm(1):

icon filename
 Use filename as the icon image for the Eterm window.
 filename can be an absolute path, relative to the current
 theme, or relative to one of the directories in the path
 attribute listed below.

-I/--icon also works.

Right click being bound to cut or copy violates the standard and is a
bug in Konsole.  The correct use for right click, which you'll see in
Eterm, xterm, and most any other terminal, is "extend selection."  If
you have made a selection, for instance back in the scrollback buffer,
right clicking will extend the selection from the original starting
point to wherever you right click.

Eterm automatically copies the selected text to the X PRIMARY
selection, so no manual "copy" action is required.  Most applications
will properly paste this selected text using the middle mouse button.

Your inability to hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login on a console, or login
via ssh, is not our problem.

E17 already "forces" you to do certain things because doing otherwise
would result in undefined, unacceptable, or unrecoverable behavior:
 - Run e17 without another WM already running
 - Use eet/edje config files instead of, for example, GConf2.
 - Use image formats which are supported by evas.
 - Use the evas canvas backend instead of Gtk or Qt equivalents.
 - Not waste developer time with crybaby whining.

If you object to the change, you have 3 choices:  Suck it up and deal,
remove that portion of the code and accept the consequences, or use
something else.  There are numerous things we're forcing you to do,
but using E is certainly not one of them.

Because using shell is far, far more portable than using Ruby.  Even

What we really need is anoncvs mirrors.  We need systems that we can
point "anoncvs.enlightenment.org" to.  A nice round-robin DNS should
solve the load problem quite nicely.

The developer CVS server is doing acceptably, is it not?

We are working on obtaining another server for the E project to have
as its very own.  Hopefully that will pan out.

It's not true.  SVN requires a lot more overhead (including Apache
with SVN and DAV modules), uses a BDB backend (you remember your love
of BDB, right?), and requires DOUBLE the amount of disk space for a
checkout.  Yes, I said double.  Furthermore, branching and tagging
don't really exist for SVN (it uses "copies" which, while they may be
zero overhead on the server, are murder on the checkout).  And last I
checked, you could not keep your history.

CVS is the devil we know.  There's really nothing we need it to do
that it doesn't do.  I see no compelling reason to move.

No, that's my point.  If they had done it right the first time by
enhancing the core X routines instead of grafting on Yet Another

If you can make X support anti-aliased fonts, you can use them in

The most common fix is:  export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"

You've installed libast.m4 somewhere that aclocal doesn't look by
default.  Put it in /usr/share/aclocal/ or tell aclocal where to look.

Sooner or later, one of two things will happen:  Either SF will get
its shit together and catch up, or enough users and developers will
get sufficiently pissed off by it that we'll move the mailing lists
just like we did the CVS stuff.  The Foundation would be more than

The icon which is used is not an Eterm problem.  The problem is most
likely a conflicting .eap file which defines an icon for all Eterm's,
even those with names.

For some reason, E chooses the least exact match rather than the most
exact match when picking an icon.  If you consider it a bug as I do,
talk to raster.

The writing has been on the wall for some time now.  I'm glad we were

have liked to skip a few earlier implosions too, but we take what we
can get sometimes.  :-)

You'd be correct if it weren't for the & on the end of that line.
When the shell sees the conflicting requests of "exec" (replace the
currently running process with the given command) and "&" (fork a new
process in the background with the given command), it assumes that the
user didn't know what "exec" was supposed to do, and "&" takes
precedence.  So the "exec" is essentially ignored.

The problem is more likely a race condition.  Replace the e17setroot
line with this:

(sleep 5 ; e17setroot -s /Files/Images/Wallpapers/singularity-crop.jpg) &

See if that fixes the problem.

For reasons I can't begin to fathom, you insisted on making this

configure parameter to specify either a particular virtual terminal or

I don't really want to get into a distro war.  I'll just refer to the
post I linked which discusses *why* it's so popular.  But yes, it has
lots of users.  As for usable, I'm sure it works great for some folks,
but I've heard more people complain about Fedora "releases" than any

True.

I realize that different people are going to use different distros for
different reasons.  That's why I try to keep things as portable as I
can in the spec files.

Of course not.  But does entrance actually work on any non-Linux

platforms come with both sudo and lsof installed and working out of

And you'll notice I said it should be the default *on Linux*.

I don't recall that discussion; do you know when it happened?  Got any

Not at all.  In every distro I've used, mingetty processes are started
on each of tty1 through tty6 only.  tty7 is always reserved for the
first X server, and tty8 is used for the rare cases of a second.

Any user or distro which would attempt to start a getty process on
the same tty on which they're trying to start X is flawed because it
would lead to the very type of race condition you mentioned.  It's
simply broken behavior.

This isn't about you or what contributions you've made.  We are
looking at problems with packaging entrance which have been created by
a change you made to its build process.  That is the topic of
discussion right now.

I'm sorry if you feel slighted because I haven't thanked you for your
work, but in the world of free software, people who are driven by
constant displays of gratitude are generally disappointed by the
reality.

Good grief, man.  Get used to it!  There are certain facts of life
when it comes to open source software development, and that's one of
them.  People often don't try things unless they're part of the
default setup.  Another one is, most people don't test stuff in
pre-releases of software unless they follow development closely.  I've
had numerous experiences where people around here have waited until
after I make a release to inform me, "Oh, by the way, Eterm doesn't
build right on Solaris."  It happens to everyone.  If you get all
pissy every time it happens to you, you're going to give yourself an
aneurism.  Let it go.

That is a ridiculous point of view.  There is no one distro.  And if
you're talking about Fedora Core, you are in *dire* need of reading
this:

Furthermore, discussion of packaging as it relates to a single
distribution is off-topic for this list.

One, it's part of rpm now.  Two, Mezzanine works quite nicely on
Fedora, RHEL, SuSE, and every other RPM-based distro I've tried.

Any distribution which tries to start a getty on the same VT as X is
flawed.  Furthermore, Linux has standardized on X being on tty7.  That
should always be the default on Linux.

Negative.  The whole point of optional packages is that they're NOT
required.  That's one of the things #BuildSuggests: is used
for...optional dependencies.

Of course, I'm pretty sure raster was talking about Debian packaging
anyway.

Perhaps not, but your solution is also sub-par.  Clearly both
solutions are incorrect, so rather than bickering back and forth about
whose sucks more, let's focus on finding the third solution that will
work for everyone.

Has anyone thought about auto-detecting things at runtime rather than
build time?

It's actually a bug in LibAST >= 0.6.1.  Or more accurately an
unexpected side effect of a feature.  I've committed a fix to make
this behavior optional and off by default, so updating libast from CVS
should fix it.

(Details:  Awhile back I updated spifopt_parse() to emulate Perl's
Getopt::Long behavior of removing options and their arguments from
argv[] so that only non-option parameters would remain.  This is very
handy for programs that need command line arguments which aren't
options, but Eterm isn't one of those programs.

For example, "ls -Fla foo" would return from spifopt_parse() as simply
"ls foo".  That way, the program doesn't have to try to figure out
which values were for options and which ones weren't.  Similarly, "ls
-Fla -I '*.rpm' perl*" would be returned with argv[0] = "ls" and the
expansion of perl* in the rest of argv[].  Notice how -Fla, -I, *and*
the argument to -I all got swallowed.  That was the goal.

Unfortunately, I failed to realize that Eterm passed argv[] to
XSetWMProperties() *after* options parsing is done.  Thus, all the
options and their parameters were being removed from the argument
list before WM_COMMAND could see them.)

Sorry,
Michael

ja_JP.eucJP is correct for Eterm.  I suspect making sure the locale
uses EUCJ instead of UTF-8 encoding will correct the display problems.
Remember, this means both the locale Eterm starts in *and* the locale
of the shell running inside it.

The cAos Foundation (www.caosity.org) currently has a machine being
hosted at OSUOSL, and we are willing to provide whatever assistance we
can to the E project via that server and our other servers hosted
elsewhere.  We have multiple systems we can bring to bear on the
problem and can provide rrDNS load balancing services to help share
the burden.

While we already support working Enlightenment installs
out-of-the-box, we are currently moving toward using E 0.17 as our
default desktop, and thanks to some excellent theming work from LinuXY
and titansoccer15, we will have a customized default theme in the very
near future.

We are happy to provide whatever services we can to assist the project
on a temporary or permanent basis, either in the interim while you
gather resources for your own server, or for as long as you see fit.
We are a non-profit corporation and have resources of our own for
obtaining and deploying hosting, hardware, etc. which are at your
disposal.

Bullshit.  Don't think for a second that someone being nice enough to

Richard Stallman is a nutcase, and we couldn't possibly care less what
his opinion is on software ownership.  We don't use the GPL in case
you hadn't noticed.  You own your changes and contributions to the
software, and NOTHING MORE.  If you haven't helped out, you own jack

If you were paying for this software, I'd agree with you.  But you're
not.  So take what you can get or help out.  Either way, the opinion
of someone who does not contribute is worth about as much as the paper
it's written on.  And since we don't use paper around here, that

So far all we've heard is a lot of talk.

Oh, and for the record, all these changes WERE developed, signaled,
and coordinated in CVS.  I guess you weren't paying attention.

If E is a critical application for you, it's your responsibility to
keep up with changes.  If you're not prepared to get help during an
upgrade, you have two choices:  Keep up, or Don't upgrade.  That's
it.  And whichever one you choose is your responsibility.

Clearly your reasoning is skewed.  It's far more important for
scripting languages to deal with backward compatibility than it is for
window managers.

Seek.  Professional.  Help.

Just out of curiosity, what caused you to conclude that we hadn't at
least tried to do just that?
