And reports is still only 0.1.0 because the 0.4.3 stuff was for specific bug fixes not a general release cycle Okay. jcater: at some point we will need to decide if we want to 'always' synch release of like items or not i.e. release a designer 0.4.3 even if it has no changes from 0.4.2 except a version number Action: revDeke doesnt care one way or another just its a matter if we tell people forms/designer/common should all be same version number or not ColeMarcus (ColeMarcus@p50805FF1.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: in the past we've tried to say any 0.1.x was compat w/any other 0.1.x api wise Action: jcater thinks the 0.x part should try to stay in synch ok I'm still only doing wx debs for the 0.4 series. but that's just mho as stated im not a stickler either way we decide jbailey: slacker jbailey- i think thats fine as gtk2 isnt really usable its more in 'testing stages' i assume the same goes for curses you willing to package gnue-sb too? ;) revDeke: Probably, but after glibc is feeling a bit better. jbailey: i have been meaning to look at deb packaging and try to get gist of it gnue-sb isn't related to my work unless we start using it for purcahse ordes. and try to get maintainer status so it goes under my "debian hacking time And glibc get priority in that bin. or get ajmistch to be a maintainer :) hi Barbicane didnt see you here earlier revDeke: Debian packaging is really simple - The hard part is complying with all the policies. jbailey: amen!

My packages. I'm the ultimate authority. =) I think that's 0.3.0 we will have 'preferred' ones level thinking myself for the record so they are in my mind similar to dbdrivers and/or uidrivers SimpleTabulations is a demo of the engine or such, but we need something now or reports debs are dead in water and isn't necessarily meant to be the reporting standard jcater: yes i know jbailey reports is largely useless w/o filters (imho) so we need to package filters whether its part of the main deb or whether we do like ui and db drivers is no bother to me whatever you all feel is best revDeke: If there's different dependencies then I will make separate packages. Action: revDeke thinks the bug still stands, you and jcater can argue about whether its upstream or not :) Anything with common dependencies will get a common package. bug? Action: jcater missed something jcater: Default install run of reports doesn't install filters. this the man pages? gack that's a bug jcater: the bug i reported was no report filters installed with reports jbailey thought this was an 'upstream' bug because a reports install didnt install any either (or didnt appear to) Action: revDeke was stating my bug still stands (i.e. it should install filters) but you and him could argue about whether it was upstream or not : ) um it doesn't ? revDeke: Basically the thought is that if it's not important enough for upstream to install it, it's not necessary for the package to run. =) it should it was jbailey: i understand your point thats why i said you and jcater could discuss it :) as i dont know if the upstream installs it or not Action: revDeke thinks it needs to Jens2 (AC14C580@nat-wohnheime.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) left irc: "[x]chat" jcater: find doesn't show up 'html.xsl' in the install directory at all. the other issue i had was will we be having 'docs' and 'samples' packages Action: revDeke remembers that debian likes those separately Action: revDeke thinks we need 'samples' Action: Mr_You has one small suggestion.. a CHANGES log file online so you can see if its worth upgrading to you or not as we become more stable s/stable/bugless freshmeat lists changes the announcement lists changes too at the bottom and so it does I too use to other projects methods.. hunting down changes file jcater: i said announcement changes on list, but naturally this irc client sucks and i type faster than it can upload to the ircd as do all 'announce' emails <-- this was missed line lol I tried getting some freebsd-cluster mailing list guys on IRC, but no deal. hmmm and that is suprising? Action: revDeke thought it was against BSD sysadmin policy to be socialable in any way shape or form, irc is way too much like human interaction hehe jbailey: what is your take on xandros? well one guy was nice enough to email that he was in europe on metered dialup everyone else has "real" jobs I guess one of which working at Los Alamos National Lab revDeke: Refresh me what a xandros is? revDeke: We won't have a separate samples package. revDeke: And I only do separate docs packages if the docs are >50k or so. Or if there's many packages without a common one. Action: jcater figured we'd have a gnue-samples.tgz ppl could download samples would usually go in /usr/share/doc/package/examples, right? that's what a lot of projects do oh, or that :) ajmitch: Yes. jcater: ah, like a set of samples that use forms, reports, and maybe appserver? ajmitch: I already do that with common for the stuff in /etc/gnue/ yup jcater: that connections form works nicely with 0.4.3 on windows :) apart from the little wx glitches ;) i just want samples :) if its inline package great ajmitch: yeah if its another package fine if tar.gz is the answer great a comprehensive sample package that in some way demostrates all tools :) jbailey: xandros is a debian distro revDeke: his reaction to your question about xandros speaks for itself :) run by linux global partners (iirc) (which was initial investor for code weavers, gnumatic(gnucash), ximian and metrowerks) derek: freebsd-cluster = kernel/user developers/hackers http://www.xandros.com/index.html jcater: The fascinating thing about Debian is that in many ways it's like the Microsoft of the world. jcater: It has this habit of absorbing its competition. :) jcater: So I've largely begun to consider any deviation from Debian to be fatal. speaking of that when will piggy be part of debian? piggy? PGI never. really Action: revDeke thought they were doing it ooooo oooo Action: jcater raises his hand I know [16:48] Last message repeated 1 time(s). The new debian installer project is going in instead. ooo oo o sorry jcater. rofl I was gonna say, PGI is heavily tied to the x86 architecture :( And very linux based at that.

But I am confused which section is useful? ah an example in gnue/forms/samples/zipcode/zipcode.gfd you have a line prequery="" table="zipcode"/> connection="gnue" means pull the connection information from the [gnue] section in the connections.conf file you can setup as many different [something] entries in the connections.conf file as you want oh, i see. my devel file contains [devel] [prod] [gnue] devel = connections.conf (sorry) the devel one hooks to my development database the prod one hooks to my production database that end users actually use (devel is used only for new app building and testing modifications) the gnue one is so I can work w/ the demos so, I am using mysql, I am simply hook to [devel], right? if I don't modify anything, since the provider is mysql. yes well, yes and no y and n? the others are still listed as valid connections however they'll fail if you try and use them you can have as many different database style connection defined as you like you can setup a [prod] that points at mysql an [mfg-app] that points to something like an odbc datasource that is part of some custom application you've purchased an [postgresql-test] pointing to a test setup of postgresql all can exists in connectoins.conf as the same time you should even be able to hook to them all in the same form or report so one report could pull from all three of them to build it's output based on your definition, I think I will hook to [prod] and modify this section to connect mysql ok that will work fine what about aliases, is it necessary for a newbie? those are handy to anyone my home connection.conf file is old Remosi (dahoose@port-219-88-246-192.jet.net.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. my [gnue] and [devel] are the exact same definitions i could easily rewrite my connections.conf to read [devel] comment = XYZ Development Database provider = mysql host = gnue dbname = developer aliases = gnue IsoosI (dahoose@port-219-88-247-177.jet.net.nz) left irc: No route to host then it's exactly like I have both a [devel] and a [gnue] connection definition with the exact same settings i hope I didn't confuse I see. But I don't want mixed up and will hook to [prod] only. without aliases. When will the financial package be published? Do you know? not a clue i thought gnue-sb was moving along pretty well ah which is supposed to be a gnue based simple system i think it was to do financials but I'm not involved with it that derek's thing Oh, I see. I am using Windows2000, should I modify gnue.conf since I see the links are for linux system? links? for example: SendmailBin = /usr/sbin/sendmail oooooo reports reports is very much a 0.1.0 release and myself have not used it under windows i have no idea what you need to do or what even works I just want to do bookkeeping, the accounting stuff. Is Forms enough? are you running the last release 0.4.x or the cvs stuff? 0.4.2 ok, 2 things you'll definately need to get in contact with the gnue-sb people as gnue itself only has tools so far - the reason gnue-sb was started as we're taking so long getting the tools done or papo http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/papo they've modified the gnue system somewhat and have several forms setup from what I understand the other major thing you need to know is our win32 forms drivers are terrible the UI works but is based upon wx - not win32 native you can see here http://www.gnuenterprise.org/feature-plans/forms.html that the next forms release series we'll be adding a win32 native driver as we've given up making wx feel like a windows app the 0.5.x series is getting major efforts right now and I hope to see 0.5.0 before year end it will not include the win32 driver though as I'm overhauling the ui drivers to support some stuff inspired by the papo people so people are waiting patiently till I'm done screwing things up before they start building win32 :) so, I should hold to install Forms, and wait for 0.5.0. are you end user or a coder? gidday end user. ooooo, here's our win32 monkey now hello! ooh, where? :) ngterry: i'd get in contact with derek (revDeke or derek in here) and find out where gnue-sb is and look at papo forms 0.4.x is pretty powerfull but it's a developers tool 0.5.x will be the same it's simple to build things with them but if that's not your thing then it's useless but if you yell at derek loud enough to release gnue-sb with a financial package you'll be set ooo, and yell alot, he likes that ajmitch: :) ajmitch: you know who you are i'm the gtk2 monkey ah crap [21:49] Last message repeated 2 time(s). jbailey volunteered for the hours of exquisite torture that will be win32 jbailey was going to do win32 until he saw you were doing gtk2 i just offered to help him a little then he moved to UIhtml thinking gtk2 would be good enough which means [21:50] Last message repeated 1 time(s). gah which means sigh i have to get gtk2 working ASAP :) i don't want to talk about what that means ajmitch: why? because if he doesn't do win32, and gtk2 sucks, then we won't have a decent forms driver for windows no wx is 'quirky' jcater and I commited to win32 in 0.5.0 er 0.5.x ah i have to get gtk2 working anyway i'm committed to getting it going properly on windows well, if you care to chase a moving target i can commit as soon as i'm actually able to install win95 :) but jason might hurt me why? what changes have you made? bwahahahahaha Action: ajmitch is scared alot great! i thoguth you'd done most fo your changes last week :) but nooo here you are upsetting everyone again :) yip uidrivers now pass an effected form back thru the event affected Action: ajmitch blinks and gfinstance no longer has a single self._form setting ooh lots of fun stuff is possible? btw, what's the eta for 0.5.0? january? real soon have you looked at forms/samples/dialog.gfd? nope you'll be able to completely nest forms within each other oh neat! quick ui question - what's the best way to do a form that just edits one value in a table designer via wizard the table just has a list of names that need edited always no, i mean best way to structure a form like that as it would be nice to see existing entries :) i did each of the forms like that in about a minute each i'm not following the form looks like crap with a single entry on it can you post a screenshot? a dropdown entry woud work, i guess? one sec got to find something that'll do a screenshot :) xv gimp gimp broke sid? yup sorry use gnome? only use gnome via garnome i think there was a gnome panel screenshot applet oooo there is Action: jamest smaks self it takes whole screenshot :) can you put the .gfd on a website? or mail to me :) sure one sec ;) http://ajmitch.dhis.org/~ajmitch/makes.gfd bash-2.05a$ gfcvs http://ajmitch.dhis.org/~ajmitch/makes.gfd :) nice :) umm, it's a 0.4.x form ack! i'm not game enough to play with HEAD for stuff that i may need done for work same here :) man its taking forever to pull it shouldn't it's only a few bytes i'm failing the host resolution odd 202.27.204.36 speedy heh works well from my end :) ah what I do is a grid ok lemme find one from work the rows="10" type thing? yeah in the block tag yeah, i've got a form here that does that http://www.math.ksu.edu:/~jamest/country_maint.gfd useful, but i can't seem to switch to the next (greyed-out) entry at the moment click new record and tell me it that works? ah yes it does not terribly intuitive to click that each time :) but down arrow doesn't? nope, not with 0.4.1.99 (haven't got new debs) hang on jcater (~jcater@cpe-066-061-083-220.midsouth.rr.com) joined #gnuenterprise. yo jcater werd just discussing forms, funnily enough :) gack ajmitch: see if in your gnue.conf files you have autocreate set to 0 bash-2.05a$ gfcvs --configuration-options Valid config file options..... ============================================================ Name:AutoCreate Default Value:1 Create new records in blocks automagically when you hit the bottom. wassup? ah nice if that is set to it's default then the down arrow should have created the new record just a min, i'll check yup, that works http://www.nongnu.org/gnue-sb/ is the url for gnue-sb, btw (and it's mailing lists are still broked) grrr, this doesn't seem to be happy tho - not showing up the data i previously entered just checked, they're in the database f8 then f9 f8 = entry query f9 = execute query yup, that worked you can enter input masks between the f8 and f9 how to do that in the form startup? in your add can't recall the trigger name :) prequery="" k oops, broke the form, got a sax error ok, that worked nicely good did we mention that #gnuenterprise tech support now costs 1 gtk2 driver ? i think that the delete record could catch people out - if i click it, changes don't show until i hit commit hehe that is by design i need to run l8r Action: Vee2d2 tunes in TLC to that hackers show bye jamest (~jamest@adsl-65-71-168-128.dsl.tpkaks.swbell.net) left irc: "[x]chat" Action: ajmitch wonders if it's possible for a form entry to be shown as 'deleted' until commit?
