subject [Foresight-devel] gnome 2.28

hi,

in the spirit of moving interesting and important topics to the list i am quoting the following from irc: (reordered for readability)

OgMaciel> doniphon: I wanted to bump GNOME to 2.28 on 2-devel over the weekend doniphon> no way; too intrusive. a lot of stuff will need to be bumped in advance the DeviceKit*, and corresiponding start of hal deprecation, the new PoliciKit mods, all pretty intrusive stuff, that will force a lot of rebuilds...

OgMaciel> when can we do it? doniphon> week of 13/18

eMBee> how can people help with that? doniphon> running the GDK eMBee> oh? because the changes happen there first? doniphon> yes

So if you want contrib to foresight its good time for involve to GDK (gnome developer kit) and get gnome to foresight first of all distros existent. And contrib to gnome too

Jyr - fl member interview

Im very suprised because the fl member jyr was interview by ingenet.

He talk about how get involve on foresight linux and what working now. its on spanish but can check english with google help...

Interview a Foresight Member - Jyr (EN)
Jair Gaxiola, Ingeniero Mexicano miembro de Foresight Linux (ES)

When someone interview me :´´´( im want be Famouse.

Well Jyr come to foresight member recently. And he was my ex worker partner. He is very shiny but very funny. Its a phpcoder but im know he loves python.

The first time when he know foresight its because i have my laptop with foresight near december of 2008. He had a ubuntu dekstop.

Now with more freetime. Can involve on foresight and getting development.

Razones para ser desarrollador de Foresight Linux parte 1

Facil de empaquetar aplicaciones

Foresight usa el sistema de paquetes conary, el cual te permite empaquetar aplicaciones en recipes(recetas). En muy pocas lineas de codigo. Las herramientas de conary te detectan las dependencias que usan los paquetes. Asi que no es necesario gran conocimiento de Linux para empaquetar.

recipe gnome-do recipe gedit o pueden ser tan flexibles y complejos recipe python

NOTA: las buildRequires(dependencias) se generan automaticamente. Las agregas haciendo copy/paste

No tienes que descargar Fuentes(tar.gz), Agregas la direccion donde se encuentra. Para que se descargue, extraiga, compile segun las instrucciones del recipe. Y detecte dependencias automaticamente.

wikipage: como crear un paquete

Comparte los cambios de tus paquetes

Conary tiene soporte para manejo de versiones. No utiliza git ni svn. Utiliza algo mas simple para llevar los recipe.
Primero creas tu recipe de un paquete.

cvc newpkg app1

Modificas el app1.recipe y te das cuenta que siempre que lo cocinas(cook,construyes) se rompe, no puedes hacer que funcione. Pero uno de tus cuates es mas experimentado, te dice que el puede hacerlo funcionar, tu haces un commit al paquete.

cvc commit -m "app1 broken faild load lib"

este se vera reflejado en el repositorio.

El Cuate puede hacer

cvc co app1

para descargar el recipe que tu creaste y hackearlo hasta hacer que funcione para que al final tu hagas

cvc update app1

y puedas obtener los cambios echos y ver que se le hizo

cvc rdiff app1

wikipage: conary commands

Por que usuarios finales deben usar Foresight linux

Siempre tienes la ultima version

Foresight es una distribucion de linux que tiene "rolling release" esto quiere decir que si instalas X aplicacion cuando hagas un update obtendras la ultima actualizacion de aplicacion. Y por conviccion foresight tiene la ultima version de GNOME antes que cualquier distro de cada 6 meses

Rollbacks

Imaginate tus directorio con archivos de aplicaciones como un gran autopista. Instalas una aplicacion en el kilometro 1 y despues instalas otra aplicacion en el kilometro 2. y te llevas instalando aplicaciones hasta el kilometro 10. Y cierta aplicacion en desarrollo echa a perder tu computadora tu puedes retroceder al kilometro 5 justamente antes que falle. Tu paquetes y el sistema base se encuentran versionadas, por lo que puedes volver a una version anterior

Esto ninguna distribuicion de linux lo realiza.

Gran comunidad

Foresight linux tiene un comunidad muy chiquita. Todos nos conocemos. Eso es un factor que hace que nos hagamos amigos. Por lo que somos bien amigables. Enfocados a ayudar a los demas. Tenemos Foros, Wiki, Lista de correo para cualquier tipo de pregunta.

Ser parte de la revolucion

Foresight maneja un sistema de paquetes llamado conary.Desarrollado por rPath. Viene a ser un sistema de paquetes revolucionario ya que rompe con muchos paradigmas de empaquetamiento.

Estamos buscando desarrolladores acerte a nosotros :)

Articulo sobre foresight

El community manager de foresight linux escribe para una revista geek.

En este mes escribe un pequeño review de foresight muy muy interesante para los que no lo conocen. ..

http://geekdeck.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/review-cherry-picks-of-the-month-foresight-linux/

ya sabes que es foresight linux ?

foresight 2.1.1 con gnome 2.26.1

Si no lo sabias ya salio la nueva version de foresight linux

Que tiene foresight de nuevo ?

Pues gnome, kernel 2.6.29, Notify_osd, mejoras en xorg

Somos unos de las primeras distribuiciones que usan la nueva tecnologia de Ubuntu, notifyOSD, las cuales incluyen una interaccion con pidgin, banshee, xchat, etc. Esto debido que unos de los desarrolladores trabaja para canonical y ya empaqueto el notify-osd.

Pues Xorg cada vez se lleva mejor con compiz, tenemos mas soporte para monitores, drivers de video. Esto gracias a donophin que se puso las pilas y re-construllo XORG completito! Yupiiiiii

Bien al parecer ya hay bugs descubiertos FL-2090 ( creo que por mi culpa, no actualize la version arreglada del packagekit ).

installfest

Por Supuesto llevare foresight disc ....

Openoffice 3.1 si esta en foresight

Veo en cierto post de planetalinux acerca de instalar OO.org en Fedora....

Foresight ya cuenta con OpenOffice.org 3.1 y esta en los repositorios oficiales de foresight...

Yeah we rock!

Packagekit with get-repo-list

Update: its on Packagekit=fl:2-devel and run gpk-repos command

packagekit will support unofficial repos

On next Packagekit will have support for unofficial repositories. Like gnome.rpath.org will back the Packagekit.

Im add my personal repo and seen all work.

For problem getting other repos its the generate cache. My personal repo take 15sec get the info and write the xml.

But if you have a high bandwidth its no a problem. It generate faster than me (512Kb/s).

Now its not available for test :P but on next ...

Gnome Developer Kit need help

Gnome Developer Kit podriamos decir que es una herramienta para poder probar, desarrollar, documentar y traducir la ultima version de Gnome. Gnome developer kit esta a en la version de desarrollo de gnome ( gnome 2.27 ) para esta fecha.

Pero al final de cuentas el GDK es un distro basada en foresight.

Esto es gracias a las mismas herramientas que utiliza conary, podemos hacer un fork del sistema foresight y poder generar gnome developer kit y estar actualizando los paquetes de git.gnome.org ( antes svn.gnome.org ). El mantenedor principal es kenvandine pero con su nuevo trabajo en canonical ah tenido desactualizado GDK, ahora Zhang Sen ha retomado el fork y actualizado los paquetes.

De echo el esta echandose la migracion del fork de svn a git cambiando las fuentes de todos los paquetes.

Bien si quieres probar GDK puedes descargar la version en maquina virtual o la instalable en dvd.

De echo ya tiene empaquetado el gnome-shell. Bien por ahora solo 2 personas mantienen el fork.. como lo dice en su blog. Si estas interesado entra a freenode en el canal Foresight-devel para mas informacion.

No necesitas mucho conocimientos en foresight o con conary. Mas bien paciencia para checar si un paquete ya esta actualizado o no. Ahi pueden informarte de como contribuir y podriamos decir crear una distribuicion basada en gnome mas actualizada que el mismo ubuntu. Por lo general ando ahi pero en away :S. Cualquier duda puedes comunicarte con jessezh o kenvandine (en freenode) o conmigo por email zodman arroba foresightlinux.org

new job

I have time without join to irc, or IM accounts its because i have a new job. Im working with aircopter company what owns COTEMAR company its a big company. Im move from Merida Yucatan. To City of carmen Campeche( alias Crime city ) but im fine :). My girlfriend comes with me and i very happy no problem for stay far from home.

Well my journal its to long 9hrs :( but im happy im doing a lot of Documentation with Software Engineer process. Drawing Process etc etc.

So im lost some contact with Foresight'ers but im here with some free time im working on packagekit but i think the new feature of metadata its delayed. Because fl developer not find the correct way for populate metadata. The new Foresight version will release with the newer backend conary but without packaging Browsing feature. ( that disabling 2 lines of code :)) ...

If you found some problem contact me on gtalk: zodman at gmail punto com.

IM PROXIEDDDD!!! not irc access :''(

Packagekit 0.4.6

Today Richard release a new Packagekit version with it Conary backend comes with new features/fixes:

• Many foresight users report what not found gcc/make on packagekit :P well im fix it we have support for conary.rpath.com repo.
  
• Now the packagekit can get the url and licensense metadata set on troves. And show repository owned.
• I have a lot of problems with high memory usage, so im fix with next point.
  
• Conary backend its stupidly more faster because replace the xml.minidom module by cElementTree, now we can list more than 2357 packages on repo ( getting from fl:2-qa conary.rpath.com@rpl:2-qa and fl:2-kernel the fl:2-devel have more packages ) in few seconds.
• Add get-packages what list all packages installed/availables.
  

If you want test:

sudo conary update {PackageKit,gnome-packagekit}=foresight.rpath.org@fl:2-devel

With packagekit update gnome-packagekit comes with bugs:

first:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so:

That its because packagekit have a plugin what can install fonts from requesting of pango/cairo http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/tree/contrib/gtk-module/README. Im not found what causing the problem. i think when mooking the pago or cairo, packagekit have the pk-gtk-module enable so the pango/cairo get that module an save or something else happen. So when open a gtk applicacion ask for that module.

I can't enable because need the WhatProvides action enable on packagekit and not supported right now ....

update: the fix its here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004635.html

second: Other stuff gnome-packagekit comes with a new update viewer (gpk-update-viewer2) that a new Feature of gnome-packagekit. Sorry dudes another unsupported because a DistroUpdateDetails not implement too :(

update: fixing rightnow its a gnome-packagekit bug http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004636.html

third: We have a bug with swedish users http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-March/004625.html we wait for fixing it.

update: fix on http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004640.html

on Other topics. Im accepted by CONSOL its a second bigger FLOSS conference on Mexico ( first as ENLI sorry guys! all knows that. ). I have 2 talks:

• Foresight Linux ... Talking about foresight linux introduction, packages, devel process, software, etc.
  

• Foresight Linux Packaging.. that a new talk here i try to explain how make packages with conary.

Well im here trying to make a better packagekit for foresight community. So i have only said to "do your part" and report Issues/New Features/Ideas/Broken message to FITS

bugcon

packaging software from git repo on conary

im read on irc channel:

[jessezh] a quick question: what should i put in 'version' for a pkg built from git snapshot?
[gxti] i like to base it on the output of 'git describe'
[gxti] for example, my current kernel tree is 'v2.6.29-rc3-56-g913d952', so for a recipe i would use 'v2.6.29_rc3_56_g913d952'
[gxti] since you can't use hyphens in version numbers
[gxti] r.macros.gitrev = r.version.replace('_', '-')
[gxti] r.addGitSnapshot('git://foo', tag='%(gitrev)s')

Good tip!

zodyblog Update

I'm update my django app called zodyblog

the news ?

• Remove the pownce Interface its deprecated and closet hehehe
• Update feeds from categories
• Fix link breaks

Now i can write to differents planets with my categorie feeds. so in planetlinux write on spanish on foresight planet on english

The [lame comments][/flames] are welcomes

The next its write a GUI app and a Json-RPC lib what its very easy with django-json-rcp-server

the openletter to foresightlinux

http://linux-blog.org/an-open-letter-to-foresight-linux/

That hurt im reply it.

How populate my app Metadata for show on packagekit

A lot of times people askme that.

So im add the Way for populate Metadata on foresight.packages.
https://wiki.foresightlinux.org/display/DEV/set+Metadata+for+package

And a how use the catalog files.
https://wiki.foresightlinux.org/display/DEV/Catalog+Files

xfce 4.6 on foresight linux

Yeah that its because foresight rulz

sudo conary update group-xfce-core

and very happy because this issue fixed XFCE-37

Certificated

notify-osd on foresightlinux

Not only on ubuntu its getting the new notify-osd Foresight have implement it... with some problems

But its usable!

its on fl:2-qa label from now ...

sudo conary update notify-osd=@fl:2-qa

enlightenment on foresight

e17 its on fl repos ....

sudo conary update enlightenment

Its beauty!!

PackageKit Release 4.4

PackageKit release yeah!!!

But why its important ...

Well this its my first official contrib to FLOSS. Im only hacks some libs, or make small patches, not really somelike bigger like fix a Backend and Rewrite/Implement new features.

So i give love to packagekit. By supporting the conary backend.

Now im listened monkey contribs of packagekit ( im at last ).

So what happen with Packagekit..... well foresight pass from this:

OLD

NEW

New Features:

conary:Update the Cache with a NewCache.
conary:Add more support for reading metadata info.
conary:Support search [name|group|details].
conary:Packages Browsing.
conary:Add percent to install/remove/get-updates/update-system.

Yes We have a Packages Browsing ... this make a step less for kick ass Desktop. The issue its not done, because need some tunnings and updates.

Other thing its new code new bugs im invite to all Foresight'ers to get PackageKit from 2-devel tag an test it:

sudo conary update {PackageKit,gnome-packagekit}=@fl:2-devel

And report bugs to me or on FITS.

Ok we have packages Browsing But not have items populate with metadata. So our Browsing are Poor .

Although need a new ideas comes for Populate data what i like. That to be a mark for foresight from other distros..( donophin have a great Idea )

It can be some like slackfind, AUR, debian mentor.

Well new Stuff come as kenvandine said we’ll kick ass in 2009

conarylib using the conary public api

Doing the hacking of packagekit im reading the code from conaryBackend.py conaryFilter.py Cache.py

Im very lost following the code so im decide make more modular can i posible to do.

BTW im not found some code example or blogpost about how to use the conary public api. Im have to read the code from /usr/bin/conary file. And get some details of conary api.

Only the little help of mkj. I can do a equal of "conary q" and "conary rq"

So im decide to make a small module for basic task ( what can Improvement the packagekit) of conary api. Commands line equal with use the cli conary.

So get check the code:

http://github.com/zodman/conary-lib/

playing with conary public api

Im working with conary backend of PackageKit, i can do a some hacks implements the new Cache. Some examples what i do:

Get the MetaData Info from some package:

from conary.conaryclient import ConaryClient
cli = ConaryClient()

trove_list  =  cli.db.getTroveList("gimp")
for trove in trove_list:
    print "Info about: %s "% trove.getName()
    meta_dict = trove.getAllMetadataItems()[0]
    for key in meta_dict.keys():
        m = getattr(meta_dict,key)
        print "%s : %s" %(key, m() )

Output:

[zodman@cosmogirl tests]$ python conaryclient.py 
Info about: gimp 
shortDesc : Image Editor
longDesc : Create images and edit photographs
categories : ['2DGraphics', 'GTK', 'Graphics', 'RasterGraphics']

Cool :) This output its similar a

$ conary q gimp --info

[zodman@cosmogirl tests]$ conary q gimp --info
Name : gimp Build time: Tue Sep 16 11:17:33 2008
Version : 2.4.6-0.2-1 Label : foresight.rpath.org@fl:2

kde4.2 on foresightlinux

sudo conary update group-kde4=kde.rpath.org@fl:2-kde4.2-devel

and it download all requires to use kde4.2.

Kde 4.2 its not official of Foresight so if you have question about it. you can Visit:

foresight-kde channel on irc.freenode.org and ask for how use it.

update: *** Reading foresight channel you must migrate your foresight system to 2-qa for install kde4.2 because deps of python2.6 and python2.6 for now its on 2-qa branch and 2-devel

why foresight use python 2.4 ?

Foresight linux use a python 2.4 and all software of python its limited by this.
The answer its here:
http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/rPath_Linux:rPath_Linux_2#Python_Version

On resume: we limited the of rpath linux stability ( what i think its very well ). But this touch to popular software.

Like gimp 2.6 needs python 2.5 christine needed, another cups solution needs update python well ... only have wait for solve the issue update to python 2.6 (FL-1452) on roadmap to foresight 2.5

im working to the release of foresight 2.5 KenVandine gime the responsability of PackageKit :S

clases para empaquetar software en foresight

¿Quieres aprender a empaquetar software para conary ( osea para Foresight linux)?

El equipo de foresight tiene previsto iniciar una serie de sesiones en IRC que trataran sobre los fundamentos del empaquetamiento Conary.

Vamos a comenzar por lo básico, que abarca sólo la creación de paquetes locales.

Lo siguente será ligeramente más avanzada, y abarcará la creación de su propio proyecto en rBuilder.

Habrá información antes de la clase, para que instales foresight linux y nosotros asumiremos los asistentes se están ejecutando Linux, ya sea Foresight nativa o en una máquina virtual.

El formato será bastante informal

Se iniciará con la creación de un paquete en un editor basado en web que todo el mundo pueda seguir enconjuto. A continuación, se pasara a la creación de paquetes desde cero y teniendo en mentores disponibles para guiar a los nuevos empaquetadores.

Todo el mundo es bienvenido a asistir

Hemos reunido una encuesta, para ayudar a evaluar el interés y la programación. Por favor, rellene este, y déjenos saber si usted ya está familiarizado con Conary y dispuesto a ser mentor.

Small review of foresight mobile version [ESP]

Im found this article, talking about foresight mobile edition on Acer Aspire One Machine:

http://blackshell.usebox.net/archivo/1198.php on spanish.

We are not perfect. The Foresight Linux supported ( with full-hardware ) Classmate and EEEPC machines. my friend Billy say foresight mobile works on MSI Wind without problems.

So im want comment the thanks for talk about fl but comments are disabled on the post. Well tnx Juan J Martinez

foresight has OpenOffice 3.0

Well yesterday (12 Oct) The openoffice 3.0 its enable on Foresight It's on 2-devel, so this mean on devel label and for this needs report bugs.

For install it:

sudo conary update {group-ooo-gnome,openoffice.org-base}=@fl:2-devel

Adobe Air on Foresight

Well im know adobe air as not the best tools of something, then for not exist stable version for non-{rpm,deb} distros

So with help of pscott i build a adobe-airc sdk for run adobe air on foresight

sudo conary update adobe-air=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

Well, the problem with sdk its slow, poor, and ugly. But works :)

i can Update Pownce from it.

well tWhirl works too.

Well im read the twitter ENLI OMG the ENLI its FULL.

http://twitter.com/enli/statuses/952017167

The last year comes around of 700 attends. This year i think comes arount 1000 attends!! Well this i can consider ENLI the biggets conferences of FLOSS on mexico.

pidgin with silc support

Well the pidgin on foresight not have silc protocol enable because the the silc-toolkit its not packaged. So im my repo im package it.

sudo conary update silc-toolkit=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

So with it install the :lib and :devellib :devel troves so.

Do a :

sudo conary emerge pidgin

With it, its like gentoo emerge. Download the source .tar.gz from sf.net and compile it. So the silc-toolkit its installed, autoconf compile it with silc support.

well to the end you can connect to silc servers.

It works on Foresight linux

Certificated

Simpositi its over

On Saturday the simpositi over well im attendent it. And I have a stand of foresight here the pictures.

Lot of people show interest on Foresight. I sell dvd with Foresight.

Well the conferences are fine, showing the Innovation and Tech. On my stand a local channel comes to interview me. Im feel nervious. But i think be great. A lot of explain about it and How the Final User used it.

Foresight linux on Simpositi

Its a conferences about tecnologich and Innovation. And a Friend give me a stand for Show Foresightlinux on thats event.

I need buy a Poster, Install Foresight on Demo Machines. Burn DVD's.

Foresight tips for build part 1

(22:54:31) zodman: ey kenvandine a small question for foresight
(22:55:36) zodman: if a have a package PyBluez its the name of the upstream. How named the package ? something like python-bluez, bluez-python, pybluez or PyBluez.
(22:56:03) zodman: named on repository.
(23:03:02) kenvandine: PyBluez
(23:03:15) kenvandine: we try hard to follow upstream naming

Well, passing to another things im having spend little time hacking conary-bancked of PackageKit that is the Add/Remove Software of Foresight. First checking the refresh-cache.py file that take a lot of time for populate a cache. A lot of time because im have a slow conection and on 2-qa label of foresight what have more 14,000 packages the whole process take 5min end.

So seen the code, put a lot of loggings codes. I found the cache when not exist do 2 times the population. And For each insert (more than 14,000) does a insert and commit. Searchings on sqlite3 documentation, i found first the inserts, One time commit ALL inserts and then modify a code for a one populate. Im reduce the time of cache to 2min. Yeah im rocks ...... So the next. I need a repository, i can do a git branch from packagekit but i dont like git, i think use a googlecode for subversion my code.

Droopy and Woof

WOOF, WOOF!!! Its not a DOG!!!! Woff is a very usefull python script for share files over the network. You give your IP:port and the file download automatically.

$ woof yucatux_fmat3.png 
Now serving on http://192.168.254.4:8080/
192.168.254.4 - - [28/Aug/2008 13:33:23] "GET /yucatux_fmat3.png HTTP/1.1" 200 -

This support filedirs, you can share a dir, and woof make a tarball of it. My favorite python scripts

Droopy isnot a cartoon dog. Its a python script with you can upload file over network. (viceverse of woof)

$ droopy  -m "Hellowwwwwwww" -p yucatux_fmat3.png 
HTTP server running... Check it out at http://localhost:8000
localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:10] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:22] *Received: coas.bmp*

The users visit your http://yourIP:8000 and can getyou a file, this is very usefull where you talking with someone on MSN'protocol and send files are very SLOW! open your firewall pass the link and upload the file.

For install on foresight:

conary update {woof,droopy}=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

seen youtube videos with mplayer

I have a very very slow internet conection ( 512Kb/s) with infinitum that mean i have behind of 50Kb of download.

So for seen youtube or flash videos are very slow conection, the videos stop for refill the cache buffer y blah blah blah... SLOW!!!

mplayer out

And video open ..... thats is great!!!

On Foresight:

sudo conary update youtube-dl=@fl:2-devel mplayer

Pownce and django

UFF this changes its very very hard .......learning by myself how the django signals works an how change adding some stuff....

The idea from integrate pownce and django comes from, i dontlike twitter, and pownce give some stuff can i contrib to others users.

Well i hard to explain my code but this is...

First i create a model what populate from pownce, add a signal on post_save with that signal save a content type what is show, some like timeline of models .... with the pub_date with it i can show on the index of the contents of my blog and pownce

from django.db import models
from django.contrib import databrowse
from zodyblog.tumble.models import Item
from django.db.models import signals
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
import  django.dispatch

class PownceNote(models.Model):
    pownce_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    body = models.TextField()
    permalink = models.URLField()
    date= models.DateTimeField()
    def get_type(self):
        pownce_type="Message"
        if self.powncelink_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type= "Link"
        if self.pownceevent_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type="Event"
        if self.powncefile_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type= "File"
        return pownce_type

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "[%s] %s" %(self.get_type(),self.body)

class PownceLink(models.Model):
    url = models.URLField()
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.url

class PownceFile(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    type = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

class PownceEvent(models.Model):
    name  = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    ical  = models.URLField()
    location = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date = models.DateTimeField()
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

def create_item(sender,instance, **kwargs):
    ctype = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(instance)
    if ctype.name == "entrada":
        pub_date = instance.fecha
    else:
        pub_date = instance.date
    if "created" in kwargs:
        if kwargs["created"]:
            si,created = Item.objects.get_or_create(content_type=ctype, object_id=instance.id, pub_date=pub_date)
        else:
            si = Item.objects.get(content_type=ctype,object_id=instance.pk)
            si.pub_date=pub_date
            si.save()

signals.post_save.connect(create_item, sender=PownceNote)

Create a client for download my pownce notelist and updates, thats a simple script with urllib for get content and populate to model

import logging as log
log.basicConfig(level=log.DEBUG)
import urllib
import simplejson

import sys

    link.save()

        )
    event.save()

def file( entry, note ):
    file = PownceFile(name=entry["file"]["name"],type=entry["file"]["content_type"],pownce_note=note)
    file.save()
def message():
    pass

URL = "http://api.pownce.com/2.0/"
user ="zodman"

class TZ(datetime.tzinfo):
    def utcoffset(self,dt):
        return datetime.timedelta(hours=-5)
    def dst(self,dt):
        return self.utcoffset(dt)

# load the pownce posts
p = urllib.urlopen(URL+"note_lists/zodman.json")
json_response =  p.read()
notes = simplejson.loads(json_response)

for i in notes['notes']:
    if 'sender' in i:
        del i['sender']
    if 'app' in i:
        del i['app']

    functions = {
        "link":     lambda i,note: link(i,note),
        "message":  lambda i,note: message(),

    note, created = PownceNote.objects.get_or_create(pownce_id=i['id'],date=df.format("Y-m-d H:i"),defaults=defaults)
    if created:
        functions[i["type"]](i,note)

I think this not the best way for show it but works for me

well if you have questions search me on irc.freenode.org or get my code on http://zodyblog.googlecode.com

the next to do, make a reusable app with this.

FL-1486 and Octuber Conferences

Today i can fix a bug. FL-1486

i dont know why but this is the solution what haved on gentoo

the solucion is rename the Thunar desktop file

$ sudo mv /usr/share/applications/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop /usr/share/applications/thunar-folder-handler.desktop

And the gnome-open /home/zodman open the Nautilus.

Well i will discuss it with Mark__T this bug and if that solve the bug.

So i will Attend to Two conferences (one confirmed) one on Teconologico de Lerdo Durango Mexico and two ENLI Puebla Mexico.

Both i will talk about opensource and freesoftware on Durango i have a talk about the software what can installed on phone of nokia s60. Gnubox, python, themes, perl, ssh client etc....

And on ENLI i have talk about foresight i cant waiting for it.

(UPDATE): The FL-1486 it's not solved

jira irc bot

im working on jira irc bot. This bot is for work on foresight[,-devel} channel on freenode.

The objective is interactive with jira website without visit it.

The first step is maked. Make a page for suggest, wishlist and commands request.

My plans is build a python lib for interactive first with jira and then work on the bot. The bot can based on some excelents libs like irc-lib and a repository of python bots.

Now im doing a small script for do a shorts url. Im pick http://te.tl because is smaller than http://tinyurl.com and it not used alot. So it give us a very small url.

I haved code small cli for make url on te.tl

import urllib
import re
import sys

def makeurl( url ):
    params = urllib.urlencode({'url':url,'title':''})
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://te.tl/index.php",params)
    response = f.read()
    pattern = re.compile('<h1>.*</h1>')
    m = pattern.search(response)
    if m:
        html=  m.group()
    else:
        return "Error: %s" %response
    return html.replace('<h1>','').replace('</h1>','')
print makeurl(sys.argv[1])

gwibber

gwibber is a gtk app. What it use the social microblogging sites.

It have support for Pownce, Twitter, facebook, Jaiku, Identica.

This is the only pownce client on gnome what i know. This is a good client for twitter, you can set the color for differences what services was posted.

For install:

  sudo conary update gwibber=@fl:2-devel

foresight feed

Yeah in feed on foresight planet

comments-enable!

Today im finished my comments app of my blog, it's called zodycomments and use meteora widgets kit for submit's forms.

Meteora haves good stuff like dialog widget, forms widget... all this thinks im used on my work.

On foresight im add a vnstat It's like a network transfer meter. With it we can know how many MB download over Inet. Im find this app, because i want a internet service called BAM it gave internet conection for all places over cell network. On the service exist plan limited what you buy Mb for use. So i need know how many Mb consume my work. for pick the correct plan. And vnstat give it.

This is enable for foresight:

      sudo conary update vnstat=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

conary-idea

I have a small idea, forever when seen a app for package on foresight, im came to rBO site and search if someone packaged.

Some equal it's:

conary rq --labels --install-label zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel | grep -i <app>

My idea its make a python script what first download all packages, doing the conary rq to specific repositories, and get the name with labels and save its on sqlite3 db. For then do querys for search package on db and not on rBO

Something like apt-cache search and apt-get update.

packaging the xfce-goodies

im not very fan of xfce, its a great desktop! im know but im fan of gnome, well Mark__T package the xfce for foresight and i help with some xfce-goodies apps...

all apps is enable on the xfce rBO a package some apps but not all!

If you want someone on foresight submit a issue
