Subject: Aleksey's status report #16
I never thought that packaging could be so long and hard. But I got
all packages in time (though using hackish way). Then I fixed a bit
more and put new packages to the wiki:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/johnny#Release-1.1
(Older versions of page are available through "old revisions", I did
not overwrite files so everything is available as it was.)
It's the time to announce release on john-users.
Done
- fixes
- packages
- semi-automated way of building and packaging
I wrote some scripts just to write down the sequence of actions
needed to craft packages. But some things were done manually and/or
with help of macros (using xte). I think I could improve it to make
fully automated builds. Though it will not avoid need of manual
tests. Also I think these scripts should be reworked when normal
.spec will be written.
Observations and problems
- on ubuntu in installation manager "a number" looks like "anumber"
I guess ubuntu reformat text wrong (a and number are on different
lines). Other distros/software does not seem to reformat text
(though I did not test much).
- left panel works weird if user drugs items
i.e. if user clicks and move mouse holding button. I'd look for
other implementation (e.g. not using QListWidget).
- there is a 1px white line on the right side of left panel
Fixing "..." in passwords label I increased width. So when not under
gnome3 with fallback mode there is a line. It is noticeable because
left panel has different background colors for elements and selected
item has quite dark background. Though I guess it is not noticeable
when you do not know about it.
- under gnome3 fallback mode there are runtime warnings
"QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme."
- under root there are runtime warnings
(at least on OpenSUSE under gnome3)
"...GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:..."
- Debian installs more than I see in dependencies
I guess by default gui installer installs also packages from
"recommends" section/tag. Though I did not investigate it because it
installs not so much.
To do
- announce release
- submit final eval
I think I'll slow down after it to relax (cure my painful fingers) and
to do tasks I postponed during summer to dedicate all the time to work
here.
- prepare johnny 1.2
- improve scripts for releases
- release johnny 1.2
Thanks!
