Call for testing - MATE SlackBuilds

@Myk267 - great, thanks for letting me know!

Ok, moved libmatekeyring and mate-keyring from testing/ to extra/. Might want to disable gnome-keyring* in "Startup Applications" since mate-keyring should handle things.

I think rarian needs to be updated
when building mate-system-monitor, i found this error

Quote:

The file '/usr/share/librarian/Templates/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml' does not exist.
Please check your ScrollKeeper installation.

while in rarian, i found the file located in /usr/doc/rarian-0.8.1/librarian/Templates/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
I guess a simple symlink should fix this problem

Here's the patch i used in order to make it work without adding --disable-scrollkeeper

Code:

@willysr - try adding --disable-scrollkeeper \ around line 86 to the autogen.sh configuration. The stuff in /testing is not complete.

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:06 PM

on mate-text-editor, you will also have to edit the find code into like this in order to get it built:

Code:

find $PKG/usr/share/mate/help/$PRGNAM/* -maxdepth 0 -type d ! -name C -exec rm -rf {} \; || true

solarfields · 03-22-2013, 03:16 PM

That's wonderful!
Is a possibility to merge it within SlackBuilds.org considered?

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:18 PM

This should make mate-system-monitor build fine

@willysr - thanks - I will actually replace that with the code I've used in the other slackbuilds which is an if/then block to look for $PKG/usr/man. I just haven't been focusing on testing/.

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:27 PM

@Chess:
could you have a look on the rarian changes i made above?
That should make mate-system-monitor built fine here as long as you apply the patch for mate-system-monitor as well

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:28 PM

my approach will be making sure all of the base,extra, and testing packages gets built and when it's done, i can test them all at once

chess · 03-22-2013, 03:34 PM

@willysr - I think I got all your changes but let me know if I missed something. Thanks!

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:36 PM

Basically you don't need to compress man for mate-system-monitor as it doesn't have any manual page

willysr · 03-22-2013, 03:37 PM

OK, i will rebuilt all of them right now and go to sleep... it's 3.37 AM here

i will see the results tomorrow

Thanks Chess

chess · 03-22-2013, 03:38 PM

Yeah, I know, a lot of them don't but I like that code just in case a man page is ever added. ;-)

Edit - thanks willysr and g'nite!

Works perfekt on a fresh installed Slackware-64 14.0.

I will not use the MATE desktop, but thanks for your work!
