Why removing sshmenu from F15, when gnome-applet-sshmenu is the real culprit ? Agreed, usability of ssmenu has somewhat degraded in the absence of its applet functionality (thanks, Gnome Shell), but it is IMHO one of the best ssh session management applications. You're right. sshmenu as a whole still has useful functionality, so I think the correct fix is to change the sshmenu source RPM to no longer build the gnome-applet-sshmenu binary RPM (and then remove the existing gnome-applet-sshmenu binary RPM from the system). (I always forget that sshmenu is more than the applet, which is my error.) The only thing that is broken is the applet. The sshmenu-gnome program still works and could be included. sshmenu-gnome make sshemenu use gnome-terminal instead of xterm. I've just pushed an updated package with the entire gnome-applet-sshmenu package removed, meaning the sshmenu-gnome command is gone too. I hadn't looked into it, but if what it does is just use gnome-terminal instead of xterm then it makes sense to keep it in the main package. I'll test it and probably push another update including it in the main package. I can verify that the sshmenu-gnome now is a part of the main package and that it works as expected on Fedora 15. Works fine ; thanks, Matthias. I have implemented a clone of sshmenu working on Gnome Shell. Here the code: https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager (In reply to comment #7) > I have implemented a clone of sshmenu working on Gnome Shell. > > Here the code: https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager Great! Just what the doctor prescribed :-) Is it able to read/import the config file from sshmenu? BTW, I think this bug can be closed. The ssh-menu works with f15 and f16 now. So this bug is fixed ad verified. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: You cannot install gnome-applet-sshmenu on Fedora 15 because of an unmet dependency; it depends on 'ruby(panelapplet2)', which is not provided in Fedora 15. (In Fedora 14 it was provided through the ruby-panelapplet2 RPM, which is built from ruby-gnome2.) It should be noted that this prevents Fedora 14 machines with gnome-applet-sshmenu installed from being upgraded via yum to Fedora 15; the missing dependency forces yum to try to keep the F14 ruby-panelapplet2 RPM around, which holds down a bunch of other Ruby stuff that conflicts violently with Fedora 15 Ruby things. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum list gnome-applet-sshmenu says gnome-applet-sshmenu.noarch version 3.18-3.fc15 is available in the fedora repository. How reproducible: 100%. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'yum install gnome-applet-sshmenu' Actual results: [...] --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.18-3.fc15.noarch (fedora) Requires: ruby(panelapplet2) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: gnome-applet-sshmenu being installed. Additional info: It's possible that the necessary dependencies can't be met any more because of the Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 migration; if so, at least the sshmenu applet should be pulled from the Fedora 15 repository. Ideally it would be possible to build ruby-panelapplet2 for Fedora 15. Okay, looking at the changelog for ruby-gnome2 on F15 I see that panelapplet2 doesn't build under Gnome 3. In that case I think that sshmenu needs to be removed from Fedora 15.
