Description of problem: It's not possible to install features from update sites. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-platform-3.5.1-1.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure the Pydev RPM is not installed 2. Add Pydev update site: http://pydev.org/updates Actual results: Nothing shows up the table below the update site entry combo box. Expected results: I should be able to install features with update sites. Additional info: Testing the connection with 'Available Software Sites -> Pydev entry -> Test Connection' works
It's not that things can't be installed, it's that the content isn't being drawn after initial loading. If I hit the Add button to add another site or type something in the filter box and then erase it, the list refreshes and re-draws. I'll consult with upstream. Thanks for the report.
This happens with upstream, too. I suspect a gtk 2.18 issue. I'll file a bug upstream and link to it from here.
FWIW, I had a lot of pango_layout_new crashes when I was playing around with this last night on my i686 rawhide box. Maybe it's related.
If we make /usr/bin/eclipse a wrapper script which simple sets GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS and then executes %{_libdir}/eclipse/eclipse, we can work around this issue. Upstream recommends this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=290395#c9 I'm still hoping we can set this programmatically but we may need to revert (a few releases ago we had one) to a wrapper script.
I have a build going now with a wrapper script: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1778759
In email discussion, Andrew felt this issue is worth considering as an F12Blocker.
This was discussed in the blocker bug meeting today. We looked for Andrew to provide his input but we can't see any reason why a bug in a subcomponent of Eclipse should block the distribution release, but releng will accept a tag request if you want to have the fix in final; for non-critpath components, you don't need a blocker bug to justify a tag request, if that's what you thought. Dropping from the blocker list. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Sorry, I didn't know about a blocker meeting. I'll request a tag.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This was fixed a long time ago (we put a workaround into /usr/bin/eclipse).
