That's a good point. Another important distinction is that many of the apps in there are either broken, or just not in general useful to non-developers. I propose that the more important apps, like pgl, battleship, blackout, pgboard, atomicnav, gridgame, etc. be included in their own packages,

pgboard defines an interface to send it commands via PicoGUI's IPC channel, pgAppMessage. This lets other apps show the keyboard, hide it, change the pattern it's displaying, etc. The interface provides a lot of functionality that none of the apps in CVS use except the pgboard-command demo. I'

2002-02-21 Thread Micah Dowty
Yes, it could be made into a library. But i'm assuming that GConf is a lot better thought out- the system pgserver is just meant for reading simple section,property,value pairs from one file or two while gconf should provide a good framework for managing a user's preferences. I'd worry about it

[Pgui-devel] Debian packaging issues

2002-02-21 Thread Joshua Haberman
Hello all. I discovered PicoGUI a few days ago, and decided to create Debian packages for it when I discovered it doesn't have any yet. I ran into a few issues, which I hope you could help me solve. First let me say that overall, the packaging went very smoothly, thanks to the high quality buil

If i'm understanding correctly, this is a configuration system for applications, not for pgserver. I'd be glad to have it in CVS. On Thu, Feb 21, 2002 at 02:40:03PM -0300, Lalo Martins wrote: > On Thu, Feb 21, 2002 at 03:15:17PM +0100, Frederic Gobry wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm working on a kind

2002-02-21 Thread Frederic Gobry
Hi, I'm working on a kind of PicoGConf, in order to use the "standard" GConf API on my DragonBall platform. To do that, I've started removing the "heavy" parts, like ORBit and the XML backend. Do you think this could be a useful module to provide with picogui ? In addition to the API, there is al
