But like I said, I kinda understand. On the one hand, every time we give in to this exact phenomena, the devel-being-used-as-standard problem gets worse. But I understand that when thousands of people regularly depend on Conky, devel version or otherwise, AND the autobuilder is a challenge (hell, I wouldn't know where to start myself), it becomes understandable to keep it out.
Nah
Give em this:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel
And rub it to poor users face until he/she faints and understands to take responsibility of their own actions.

.edit
And I doubt that Conky got 130k separate downloads from extras devel. But of course if OP feels like that itīs not ready for devel then itīs fine

that looks like a challenge. with no interface to control conky, it would have to just break down the top 1 or 2 processes, i guess. I mean that would make sense for most people to look at. you should add that as a feature request, if you really want it

yeah, i'm thinking 130k downloads is like more n900s than nokia sold, lol. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Once I get whatever bugs we found here fixed it will go to extras, I just REALLY needed some people to test it, but not too many!!

While I remember, I have to thank you for the sourceforge links. It lets me do the if-then statement for portrait and landscape orientations like I was intending, since I now found the "$if_match" command. Haven't implemented it yet, but going to be later today or tomorrow (massive classwork load for today).

- Edit -

Alright, installed the new conky. My old conky.conf file (originally saved as conky.bak during install, copied as conky.conf after the first launch did the load black window for a while then close bug) worked just fine.

Now to fiddle with the new $battery stuff and see if I can get $if_match working.

- Edit 2 -

One exception, my normally plain white CPU graph is now showing up as pink. I suspect this is that color-changes-with-value feature.

- Edit 3 -

Yeah, if_match needed this version to work right. EXTRA THANK YOU! That makes what I intend to do that much closer to working.

As for the pink color, does not seem to have been value based, though I'm not sure. I had a similar bug on previous version's graphs when they used the N900, but then I was having the graph go from white (or close to white) to gray. (or a gray to a darker gray - don't remember). The graphs ended up being pink from the starting point, and transiting into the proper gray color. *Shrug* Don't think it was something to you fixed or broke though - just seems to have moved from one graph type to another.

Here is Gary Delamer's Conky.conf file that works perfect with this version as well as his fonts.

Not my style of conky, but I'm sure this will be helpful for others.

cool. glad you guys are having some success with it now. I figured out why the good .conf file wasn't being copied, I guess there was 2 .conf files in my source tree and one of them is useless, which just sits there and tempts me to update it... and of course just gets lost when i build.
i didn't bother updating the .deb though since it's simple enough to manually copy, and i'm more worried about fixing the debian/control so the main program installs reliably without the command line.

you should change his execi wget stuff to use ${curl}
and the execi 10 hal-device bme to use the ${battery
it will perform better.
could be hard to figure out curl, but it should be faster than wget...
at least use the ${battery stuff, was a pain in the *** for me to program that

yeah the if_match thing looks pretty damn useful, i don't think conky can do regex though, that makes me sad...
i thought you might be interested in the auto config file reloading too, if you can't get the "two sets of data in one config file" you could always find a way to swap config files on conky to achieve the same effect. no guarantee that it will actually work though, I have no clue what "inotify" means...

the colors are a real ***** to set up properly, i don't know how they do it but it seems if you pick two colors far apart, the transition is all 99% grey. at least we can steal nice color schemes easily enough if we see some

Oh, I just need to figure out how to find out if the keyboard is slid out or not from the shell (because if it is, you should by default be assumed to be in landscape mode, device orientation aside, and right now I can only poll the lower-level orientation itself). So far I figured the rest out.

I should have a basic sample .conf file with the if-then statement set up. Beyond that, just plug and play your stuff inside the if-then thing.

The only thing I'm currently worried about (because I haven't actually done this yet fully, I just have the if-then statement working) - is speed of updating. Because if the entire thing is in an if-then statement, and the if-then statement takes a dbus-send call, routes it though grep, and then through awk, then compares that you a string, and only THEN knows which bath of text to execute/display, that may be a ridiculously high-cpu process. And your trade of, I THINK, is if you put everything else inside the if/then statement, everything will only update as often as the dbus query is run. Which means you can't just run it once every minute (which would make portrait-landscape mode switching way too delayed anyway), because the stuff inside will update even less often.

Well, I'll post results tomorrow.

(As for auto config reloading - I didn't know it existed, because I never thought to look, but that sounds like a nice feature to experiment with too.)
