Thanks for your interest in parcellite, Gideon. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can help you. parcellite 0.9.x will not build on RHEL/CentOS because it requires a newer glib (2.14). 0.8 requirements seem to meet the available versions, but the build fails. I will have to investigate this further, hopefully it's not an outdated GTK version. Stay tuned. Gideon, I'm really sorry, but there is nothing I can do for you. Both 0.7 and 0.8 require a higher GTK version than available in EPEL5. IMO parcellite should not depend on the latest and greatest software, but making it compatible with older glib/GTK is something that should be done upstream, and I'm not really sure upstream is interested in this because he focuses on driving parcellite forward. Thank you very much for taking the time to look into it, and thanks again for packaging it for Fedora (I'll continue to enjoy it on my up-to-date laptop)! Created attachment 356422 [details]
replace some glib 2.14 functions, by other version
This is how I make it run, but I don't know that it's correct way of doing things. Can you look once again in parcellite.
Thanks a lot Anton! I will need to look at this a little closer. Reopening. Created attachment 356426 [details]
spec for test purposes, don't sure about dependencies
Happy testing, hope it helps.

normal work with history restored and holding links closer to original
This one work like original parcellite, but I don't sure about how stable it. History is case sensitive again (holds HELLO, hellO and heLLo like different). Instead of simple pattern match in first patch, here GRegex replaced by POSIX regex, so don't know how it work in different locales but it's closer to original.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Just a quick update from my end. I will be getting a new computer that will run a Fedora KVM host with a CentOS guest, so CentOS is no longer my planned desktop distribution. As such, I no longer personally require Parcellite for CentOS/EPEL. That's not to discourage you from trying to get it to work anyway, but it's to let you know that I would be totally happy if you would rather close this as WONTFIX. I'll be happy either way, so keep working if it pleases you, or close this if it stresses you out! parcellite-0.9.1-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/parcellite-0.9.1-2.el5 Hi Gideon, sorry I took so long. I have now built parcellite with the patch from Anton (thanks Anton!), please test it on your CentOS box. parcellite-0.9.1-2.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update parcellite'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/EL-5/FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0894 Cool, I'll have to give it a try once I have CentOS set up. Thanks for your work, all! I have changed my mind about this. Parcellite is no longer actively developed, see http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/?p=83. Although upstream plans to do some bugfixes, the future of parcellite is unclear. Without an active upstream I cannot maintain this software for the RHEL/EPEL lifetime and using a patched version makes things worse. I hope you can understand my point of view and wont be to disappointed. I'd like to thank Anton for the patch. I have sent it upstream at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2974253&group_id=235597&atid=1097277 If there are any news from upstream I might reconsider my decision. If someone else wants to maintain parcellite in EPEL, he is welcome. Patch is applied to upstream source. Will work with 2.10.0 and greater. |
