 Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2021 4:02 pm Post subject: Dantrell's GNOME Without Systemd Project (Part 4) |
 |
|
⚠ Important: Official Gentoo support is provided for GNOME 3.30 and greater here.
———————————————————————————————————————————
For those not familiar with the matter, the primary and secondary purposes of the GNOME Without Systemd project are to:
1. buy time to come up with and implement a proper answer for GNOME without systemd
2. allow switching between GNOME release versions
Nowadays, given that users who prefer offical Gentoo support can have it, only the project's secondary purpose remains valid (as such, unofficial long-term-support will continue for as long as I use GNOME).
That said, with GNOME 3.40 on the horizon, it's a good time for a status update regarding the overall health of the project.
Does every GNOME release version provided by the project still build?
Yes (as of 05 Mar 2021).
Has there been any significant changes in the main tree which directly impact the project?
Python 2.7:
- required for 3.14 through 3.24
- optional for 3.26 through 3.36
- unused for 3.38 and greater
was delisted and is slated for eventual removal.
What's the EOL plan given that 13 releases of GNOME are currently being maintained?
Security Advisories aside, True™ EOL happens when Chromium (and by extension Google Chrome) and Firefox no longer builds under (or runs in) a particular GNOME release version.
When Python 2.7 is removed and/or the above metric is met GNOME:
- 3.14 through 3.24 will be marked EOL
- 3.26 through 3.36 will be marked Sunsetting
- 3.38 will transition to Longterm
What about GNOME 3.40 onwards?
As is tradition, I won't know if a future GNOME release version works until I tackle it so if it does, we are going to be surprised together.
Have the previously mentioned project architecture concerns been addressed?
In a manner of speaking.

Ahh, someone speaks.

Looks like the font.eclass dropped support for EAPI 5 and 6.
I'll check to see if these the affected ebuilds can be easily ported to EAPI 7, otherwise I'll be overriding the change.
Stay tuned...
Edit: Sync up and you should be good to go.

Well, I already noticed this yesterday and added a workaround until I figure out how to proceed.
Basically, a new profile format was added that breaks an older profile format (the regression is probably due to portage commit 9bfff6f).
Sync up to get the workaround otherwise manually add the mask on your end if you are doing something weird.

GNOME 3.40 was released about a week ago under a new versioning scheme (and should therefore be referred to as GNOME 40 instead).
I haven't updated things on my end for various reasons and if I don't become particularly motivated I will probably continue to sit on things until GNOME 40.1 is released.
No rush right?

This one was 100% my fault.
I have been adding packages related to GNOME 40 but excluding them since I haven't added GNOME 40 yet.
I forgot the exclusion was overridden for GNOME 3.38 so I went and corrected that.
The patch did need to be updated though so I went ahead and updated that too (thanks fedeliallalinea).
I added and stabilized the latest git snapshot of Dino (thanks again fedeliallalinea).
Sync up and you should to be good to go.

The ebuilds from dantrell overlay are old and python-r1 eclass no longer supports EAPI=5.
Try to sync dantrell overlay.

I just now saw that it has such old ebuilds.
The only way is that dantrell add the eclass with support for eapi 5.

Sorry for the delay, I check for updates daily but lately I'm only at the workstation every other day or so.
This issue is due to a change in the main tree which removes support for EAPIs prior to 6 for 5 eclasses.

These ebuilds only trigger the warnings because they are present and not necessarily because they are used.
So if you on a recent version of GNOME, it's just noise.
| fedeliallalinea wrote: | | The only way is that dantrell add the eclass with support for eapi 5. |
I have been meaning to port the remaining EAPI 5 and 6 ebuilds to EAPI 7 but it's been a gradual process since I haven't automated it yet.
For now I'll suppress the warnings but I'll be prioritizing porting these ebuilds over to EAPI 6 or 7.
Thankfully, only 39 (of 2630) ebuilds use EAPI 5. 
That said, sync up and you should be good to go.

These ebuilds only trigger the warnings because they are present and not necessarily because they are used.
So if you on a recent version of GNOME, it's just noise.

I have been meaning to port the remaining EAPI 5 and 6 ebuilds to EAPI 7 but it's been a gradual process since I haven't automated it yet.
For now I'll suppress the warnings but I'll be prioritizing porting these ebuilds over to EAPI 6 or 7.
Thankfully, only 39 (of 2630) ebuilds use EAPI 5.
That said, sync up and you should be good to go. |
Thank you, now there are no more errors |

Small question, I've updated to 3.38 two or so weeks ago and noticed this week that the file preview in Nautilus no longer works, it worked fine (ish, there are a bunch of bugs, but that's an upstream issue) on 3.36.
Do others have this issue as well? Is this a known issue? I couldn't really find anything.
It also seems impossible to get some useful logs to troubleshoot it because both nautilus and sushi somehow detach from the process started from a terminal. Are there any tricks to get nautilus to output some logs to the terminal? |

No problem, I know you are only helping.

I spun up a GNOME 3.38 install and file preview no longer works.
I also spun up a GNOME 3.36 install and file preview still works.
So there was a change at some point. However, I don't recall if file preview in GNOME 3.38 ever worked.

Close down every instance of Nautilus then relaunch it with debugging enabled:
| Code: | nautilus -q
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="all" NAUTILUS_DEBUG="Window" nautilus |

Thanks, good to know it's not a local issue for me
Could it be because the dbus call is to NautilusPreviewer2 whereas sushi seems to register as NautilusPreviewer?

It looks like the interface switch to NautilusPreviewer2 happened in 2019 so I'm not sure this is it.
I'll be clearing a few days to get some work in. My priority (in order) will be:
- Handling the remaining ebuilds using EAPI 5
- Adding support for GNOME 40.0
- Investigating the issue with the Nautilus previewer
Stay tuned.
