Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
haha, i was going to try doing it myself on the weekend, i saw you've left the 1.6.1 source in the repository. i didn't think you'd show up in this thread and take my rant as a complaint about your lack of work. i'm only upset because i can't figure out how to read thelong badly formatted changelog backwards and avoid the post 1.6.1 features, so i keep wasting time trying things that don't exist in our version.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
Well there's some progress here. I've got a hackey deb built of Conky 1.8.0-1 from Debian unstable repo, and its installed and running on my N900 now. I had to explicitly disable support for imlib2 and lua to get it built and perform some debian surgery. Hopefully I'll get to fire something up towards the extras-devel autobuilder soon.
Code:
n900:~$ conky -v |
Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
Hmm. Well, the Conky 1.8.0-1 source package from Debian unstable repo, which identifies itself as Conky 1.8.0 when built and run, does in fact seemed to based on Conky upstream version 1.7.2.
As can be seen from the git history http://git.omp.am/?p=conky.git;a=summary there http://git.omp.am/?p=conky.git;a=summary, Conky was "c++ified" after version 1.7.2, but the 1.8.0-1 package from Debian unstable is pure C. This basically means bad news for anyone hoping to use Conky versions (upstream versions, not deb versions) greater than 1.7.2 on Mameo5. The c++ification of conky includes use of new language features that aren't supported by gcc 4.2, which is the version provided in the scratchbox sdk. The code at the upstream git tip requires gcc 4.4. I don't know what gcc version will be in the Harmattan SDK, but I suspect that upstream Conky version 1.7.2 (i.e. mostly the same code thats in the version 1.8.0-1 source deb I built and mentioned above) is probably the last version that we will see on Maemo5, although we can do some work on that to provide wider functionality and some tailoring to the hardware (probably). |

fnordianslip gave me the 1.8.0 deb & src to install and debug.
we are trying to restart the project at the garage "monky" there are some bugs we need to fix, the scrolling text is not working at a small width, it forces scroll when it should fit. we need to add a few features or reattach broken stuff to properly check battery levels and update less frequently when on battery. once we fix these small things we will release a properly working version. i noticed the new conky feature to track top io load per process doesn't work on n900 power-kernel and i assume the default because it doesn't collect that statistic. sorry for lack of punctuation, in a hurry!! -edit- is attached jpg supposed to be tiny? wtf... can't even remove it heres a bigger one http://www.appcheck.net/storage/Scre...827-215845.png |
Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
Looks great, thanks in advance!
Will it be possible to use the same conky.conf from /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf? |

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
Will Lua and Cairo be supported by this version? I know Lua was supported by the 1.72 version but will it work (the compile) with this gcc version?

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
yeah the one i got from fnordianslip actually crashes if i don't put a conky.conf in the mydocs. it's backwards compatible, but you will probably want to add some settings to the top part.

Re: Conky now in fremantle extras-testing
fnordianslip, I've sent you PM about 'bug' now in conky while used with power kernel 47 - the displayed temperature is 10 times too high (you need to divide it by 10). Just writing here also to avoid others reporting that.
