Hardware donation at OSU
------------------------
Thanks to Gentoo AMD64 archtester[1] Chris Parrot, a developer at AMD[2]'s
Austin plant, the Open Source Laboratory of Oregon State University
received a surprise package this month. What was originally announced as a
forthcoming donation of one disused AMD64 architecture PC turned out to be
three dual-CPU motherboards complete with six CPUs and 3GB worth of
registered DDR RAM.

One machine goes to the Gentoo release engineering team and will be used
for the production of future releases, including LiveCDs, stages and more.
The other two are to be used as a general development platform for the
Gentoo/AMD64 team and will be made accessible to both Gentoo and outside
developers upon request. Thanks a lot to Chris Parrott and AMD for this
generous donation!
Documentation status update
---------------------------
A fun game to play for aspiring Gentoo documentation authors: If you'd
like to try out your abilities in writing good clean XML code for the
Gentoo documentation, why not go over the "magnificently ugly" disfigured
document[3] prepared by the documentation team as part of a quiz? If you
can fix that one, continue reading the updated policy[4] for becoming a
member of the documentation task force, and help them do some more of the
things they do: Some of last month's highlights of which include the KDE
configuration guide[5] that is catching up with several applications in
the split ebuilds of KDE above 3.4, updates to the Gentoolkit[6] and
Portage introduction[7] guides that have been made over to reflect changes
and additions, and many more new bits and pieces making the Gentoo
documentation even better than it is. See the complete status update for
the past month at the documentation status page[8].

"Gentoo -- Damien Krotkine
--------------------------
Figure 2.1: Damien Krotkine aka dams
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050530_dams.jpg
Damien Krotkine[9] or dams is officially one of the PPC monkeys,
maintaining a few ebuilds of programs he uses, but he actually spends most
of his Gentoo-time on coding configuration tools and related stuff. He
used to be the lead of the - currently dormant - Gentoo Desktop Research
Project. Outside of Gentoo he has designed the official logo of the
PLF[10] (Penguin Liberation Front) and has done some perl hacking in his
time, including crazy things like trying to use Mozilla's internal objects
from perl with perl-XPCOM. Since he is a rather quiet and modest
character, he isn't especially proud of his work, but the combination of
Perl and gtk in his hands can do some really neat tricks.
9. dams@gentoo.org
10. http://plf.zarb.org/
He went to school in different places like Frankfurt and Paris, even
studied Computer Science, although his opinion of school seems rather low.
His real life work is not as much about Gentoo as one could wish for, but
developing software based on Mozilla and an OSS search engine at a French
company is quite acceptable as a line of work.
He recently reduced the number of computers at home, but it remains an
impressive collection, including an Athlon, a PegasosPPC and an iBook. His
predilection for perl and emacs makes him lose most flame war battles, but
he's good at avoiding those, too. Other applications he likes are screen,
zsh and Firefox which are almost always within reach on one or all of his
computers. icewm and enlightenment are his window managers of choice, his
mail client is currently Thunderbird instead of gnus - dams enjoys using
the right tool for the right job.
Since he is a really cool cat, he does snowboarding, rollerskating and
climbing. He used to be "famous TM of the Sporks Of Chaos official team,
hey that's actually something I'm proud of", and when he doesn't work or
code, he tries to be at OSS events. Living in Paris (which makes him very
French), he enjoys reinforcing stereotypes by being a slick seductive
Frenchman - but hasn't met the right girl to get married yet.

keeping ebuilds fresh
As time goes by some ebuilds are not maintained as well as one could wish.
In this thread many ideas were thrown around how to give users the
possibility to help with testing and maintaining new versions of programs
in the portage tree.

Bashrc mini HOWTO
Chris White[12] has written a nice mini-howto on the use of a bashrc file
with portage - if you don't know what this means, this howto might not yet
be for you, but in short it shows the awesome power of the newest portage
cvs versions.

baselayout request for testers
Mike Frysinger[14] asks for some testing on the new baselayout 1.11.12-r2,
a new and hopefully much better version of the baselayout scipts. Since
many things have changed and some things have been modularized there might
be some breakage - so if you don't mind potentially wrecking your system
and want to help, read Mike's announcement and have fun with it.

Canada: Ottawa Linux Symposium
------------------------------
The Ottawa Linux Symposium[16] (OLS) will be held from 20 to 23 July 2005.
Gentoo PPC64 developer Omkhar Arasaratnam[17] is going, if you would like
to join a meet-up of Gentoo users and developers in Ottawa on this
occasion, please contact him directly.

Japan: Open Source Party with GentooJP
--------------------------------------
About 50 Japanese Gentoo developers and power users will meet on 3 June at
an Open Source Party marking the occasion of the Linuxworld in Tokyo.
Starting at 19:00 hours, it will be held at the Ginza franchise of a
T.G.I. Friday's. GentooJP[18] founder Masatomo Nakano, on a visit from
London, is said to attend the meeting, too. No need to report back to the
GentooJP mailing list to announce your intentions to come, simply sign up
in advance at the reservation page[19].

5. Gentoo in the press
======================
LinuxUser (May/June 2005)
-------------------------
The German magazine LinuxUser recently published a "Gentoo-Mini-Series".
The first part was about the proper installation of a Gentoo system:
"Gentoo Linux provides a made-to-measure product: The clever distribution
can be perfectly customized to the user's requirements." Within the second
and last part, published in their current issue, the system maintenance
using Portage is concerned. An English version is expected to be released
in the UK/US-edition of the LinuxMagazine in about two months. As a first
success of the Gentoo articles published by LinuxUser, its editor in chief
got infected with the "Gentoo virus" and could no longer resist the sweet
temptation: He installed Gentoo Linux himself.
The Triangle (20 May 2005)
--------------------------
In an article titled Debate pits open source Linux against Microsoft[20],
the student newspaper of Drexel university, reports from an event
organized by Drexel's Math and Computer Science Society[21]. Towards the
end of a thorough account of the debate between a Microsoft academic
relations manager and a member of the local Linux user group. Gentoo is
mentioned as an example for 64-bit computing as it should be, with not
just the kernel, but also applications compiled for this architecture.

Preface
-------
A short presentation of dams' configuration tools: (code indentation might
be broken. In case of questions ask dams[22])
22. dams@gentoo.org
Libconf
-------
Note: website: http://libconf.net what is it: it allows you to read/write
easily config tools
OK let's say you want to edit your gdm configuration, and set the
autologin user. Let's see if libconf provides something for that. Launch
simply on a console:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.1: |
|launch |
libconf--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
| |
|libconf |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.1: libconf command line
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf1.png
Now let's call the built-in help:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.2: |
|libconf |
help-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
| |
|help |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
as suggested, you'll see the 'list_templates' command. Type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.3: |
|list_templates------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------
| |
|list_templates |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.2: list of available high level templates
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf2.png
Generic/Shell is the one the most used, but there are some others. As you
can see, there is a 'X/Gdm' template. Now let's see what options it offers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.4: |
|options for |
X/Gdm----------------------------------------------------------------------
---
| |
|list_template_options X/Gdm |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.3: X/Gdm options
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf3.png
You can see it asks you to launch man Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm. If you do
that it'll tell you there is no such documentation, that because it's not
yet written. Too bad, huh? Nevermind, you'll see it's easy enough.
Now let's do a bit perl:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.5: |
|gdm_autologin.pl----------------------------------------------------------|
---------------
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|# then use the template |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|# now we would like to see what the structure looks like |
|use Data::Dumper; |
|print Dumper($gdm_conf) . "\n"; |
|# that will print the content of the structure |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
write this in a file called gdm_autologin.pl, set it executable and
launched it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.6: |
|launch |
gdm_autologin.pl-----------------------------------------------------------
--------------
| |
|./gdm_autologin.pl |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.4: dumped structure with gdm_autologin.pl
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf4.png
It's easy to understand how it is structured. Now what we want, is take a
username in argument, and set it to the autologin. That is done with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.7: |
|take username in argument and set it to the |
autologin------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
| |
|$gdm_con->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $user; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here is the complete script:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.8: |
|complete script for |
autologin------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|# get the first argument |
|my $user = $ARGV[0] or die 'please give me one parameter'; |
|# use the template |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|# change the autologin field |
|$gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $user; |
|# then write the structure back to the file |
|$gdm_conf->write_conf(); |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it'll do the job. You can see that libconf has indented the file,
which is easier to read. But if you don't want that, simply add the
following line before writing the file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.9: |
|don't let libconf intend the |
file-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
| |
|$Libconf::Templates::Indentspaces = ''; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: more doc (sorry it's not complete):
http://libconf.net/documentation/html/Libconf.html
Gtk2Fu
------
Note: website: http://libconf.net/gtk2-fu/ what is it: it's a layer on
top of perl-gtk2, that make it simplier and better.
gtk2fu is actually simple: it provides more power and easiness. There is
also full documentation[23] available.
23. http://search.cpan.org/~dams/Gtk2Fu-0.07/Gtk2Fu.pm
Now, if you have read the documentation, you should be able to create some
simple stuff. Here is a small application that is fully functional, and
display a GUI to edit the Automatic Login facility of gdm, based of what
we previously did with libconf:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.1: |
|GUI for Automatic Login facility of gdm based on |
libconf--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
| |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|$Libconf::Templates::Indentspaces = ''; |
| |
|# include Gtk2Fu |
|use Gtk2Fu qw(:all); |
|# initialize Gtk2; |
|Gtk2->init; |
| |
|# create the window |
|my $main_window = create_window(); |
|my $entry; |
|# create the menubar |
|my ($menubar, $item_factory) = $main_window->create_full_menubar( |
| [ |
| [ '/_File', undef, undef , 0, '<Branch>' ], |
| [ '/File/_Save', '<control>S', sub { $gdm_conf->write_conf(); |
|Gtk2->main_quit }, 0, '<StockItem>', 'gtk-save' ], |
| [. '/File/_Quit', '<control>Q', sub { Gtk2->main_quit }, 0, |
|'<StockItem>', 'gtk-quit' ], |
| ] |
| ); |
|# create the widgets, handlers, and actions |
|$main_window->signal_connect_(destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit } ) |
| ->add_(Gtk2::VBox->new(0,0) |
| ->gtkpack_(0, $menubar, |
| 1, Gtk2::VBox->new(0, 0) |
| ->gtkpack_(1, Gtk2::HBox->new(0, 0) |
| ->gtkpack_(0, 'Gdm AutomaticLogin', |
| 1, $entry = |
|Gtk2::Entry->new() |
| |
|- ->set_text_($gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin}) |
| |
|- ->signal_connect_(changed => sub { |
| |
|$gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $entry->get_text(); |
| } ) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ->set_border_width_(5), |
| 0, Gtk2::HSeparator->new(), |
| 0, Gtk2::HButtonBox->new() |
| ->set_spacing_default_(10) |
| ->set_layout_('end') |
| |
|- ->gtkpack(Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-cancel') |
| ->set_border_width_(5) |
| ->signal_connect_(clicked => sub { |
|Gtk2->main_quit; }), |
| Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-ok') |
| ->set_border_width_(5) |
| ->signal_connect_(clicked => sub { |
|$gdm_conf->write_conf(); Gtk2->main_quit; }) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ->show_all(); |
|Gtk2->main; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save this in a test.pl, set it executable, and launch it, it'll display
something like:
Figure 6.1: gtk2fu autologin test-window
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/gtk2fu_gwn.png
The application is functional, if you run it as root and change the
content of the entry and save, it'll work. I use the similar approach with
perl-ncurses to build text mode GUIs.
That's it for today, this is just a presentation of what is possible with
libconf+gtk2fu+ncurses. I hope it gives some of you some ideas/directions
to look into. And if you are willing to join the configuration tool
deployment force, contact me.

Hardware donation at OSU
------------------------
Thanks to Gentoo AMD64 archtester[1] Chris Parrot, a developer at AMD[2]'s
Austin plant, the Open Source Laboratory of Oregon State University
received a surprise package this month. What was originally announced as a
forthcoming donation of one disused AMD64 architecture PC turned out to be
three dual-CPU motherboards complete with six CPUs and 3GB worth of
registered DDR RAM.

Figure 1.1: Fresh out of the box: donated AMD64 motherboards
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050530_amd64.jpg
One machine goes to the Gentoo release engineering team and will be used
for the production of future releases, including LiveCDs, stages and more.
The other two are to be used as a general development platform for the
Gentoo/AMD64 team and will be made accessible to both Gentoo and outside
developers upon request. Thanks a lot to Chris Parrott and AMD for this
generous donation!
Documentation status update
---------------------------
A fun game to play for aspiring Gentoo documentation authors: If you'd
like to try out your abilities in writing good clean XML code for the
Gentoo documentation, why not go over the "magnificently ugly" disfigured
document[3] prepared by the documentation team as part of a quiz? If you
can fix that one, continue reading the updated policy[4] for becoming a
member of the documentation task force, and help them do some more of the
things they do: Some of last month's highlights of which include the KDE
configuration guide[5] that is catching up with several applications in
the split ebuilds of KDE above 3.4, updates to the Gentoolkit[6] and
Portage introduction[7] guides that have been made over to reflect changes
and additions, and many more new bits and pieces making the Gentoo
documentation even better than it is. See the complete status update for
the past month at the documentation status page[8].

"Gentoo -- Damien Krotkine
--------------------------
Figure 2.1: Damien Krotkine aka dams
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050530_dams.jpg
Damien Krotkine[9] or dams is officially one of the PPC monkeys,
maintaining a few ebuilds of programs he uses, but he actually spends most
of his Gentoo-time on coding configuration tools and related stuff. He
used to be the lead of the - currently dormant - Gentoo Desktop Research
Project. Outside of Gentoo he has designed the official logo of the
PLF[10] (Penguin Liberation Front) and has done some perl hacking in his
time, including crazy things like trying to use Mozilla's internal objects
from perl with perl-XPCOM. Since he is a rather quiet and modest
character, he isn't especially proud of his work, but the combination of
Perl and gtk in his hands can do some really neat tricks.
9. dams@gentoo.org
10. http://plf.zarb.org/
He went to school in different places like Frankfurt and Paris, even
studied Computer Science, although his opinion of school seems rather low.
His real life work is not as much about Gentoo as one could wish for, but
developing software based on Mozilla and an OSS search engine at a French
company is quite acceptable as a line of work.
He recently reduced the number of computers at home, but it remains an
impressive collection, including an Athlon, a PegasosPPC and an iBook. His
predilection for perl and emacs makes him lose most flame war battles, but
he's good at avoiding those, too. Other applications he likes are screen,
zsh and Firefox which are almost always within reach on one or all of his
computers. icewm and enlightenment are his window managers of choice, his
mail client is currently Thunderbird instead of gnus - dams enjoys using
the right tool for the right job.
Since he is a really cool cat, he does snowboarding, rollerskating and
climbing. He used to be "famous TM of the Sporks Of Chaos official team,
hey that's actually something I'm proud of", and when he doesn't work or
code, he tries to be at OSS events. Living in Paris (which makes him very
French), he enjoys reinforcing stereotypes by being a slick seductive
Frenchman - but hasn't met the right girl to get married yet.

keeping ebuilds fresh
As time goes by some ebuilds are not maintained as well as one could wish.
In this thread many ideas were thrown around how to give users the
possibility to help with testing and maintaining new versions of programs
in the portage tree.

Bashrc mini HOWTO
Chris White[12] has written a nice mini-howto on the use of a bashrc file
with portage - if you don't know what this means, this howto might not yet
be for you, but in short it shows the awesome power of the newest portage
cvs versions.

baselayout request for testers
Mike Frysinger[14] asks for some testing on the new baselayout 1.11.12-r2,
a new and hopefully much better version of the baselayout scipts. Since
many things have changed and some things have been modularized there might
be some breakage - so if you don't mind potentially wrecking your system
and want to help, read Mike's announcement and have fun with it.

Japan: Open Source Party with GentooJP
--------------------------------------
About 50 Japanese Gentoo developers and power users will meet on 3 June at
an Open Source Party marking the occasion of the Linuxworld in Tokyo.
Starting at 19:00 hours, it will be held at the Ginza franchise of a
T.G.I. Friday's. GentooJP[18] founder Masatomo Nakano, on a visit from
London, is said to attend the meeting, too. No need to report back to the
GentooJP mailing list to announce your intentions to come, simply sign up
in advance at the reservation page[19].

5. Gentoo in the press
======================
LinuxUser (May/June 2005)
-------------------------
The German magazine LinuxUser recently published a "Gentoo-Mini-Series".
The first part was about the proper installation of a Gentoo system:
"Gentoo Linux provides a made-to-measure product: The clever distribution
can be perfectly customized to the user's requirements." Within the second
and last part, published in their current issue, the system maintenance
using Portage is concerned. An English version is expected to be released
in the UK/US-edition of the LinuxMagazine in about two months. As a first
success of the Gentoo articles published by LinuxUser, its editor in chief
got infected with the "Gentoo virus" and could no longer resist the sweet
temptation: He installed Gentoo Linux himself.
The Triangle (20 May 2005)
--------------------------
In an article titled Debate pits open source Linux against Microsoft[20],
the student newspaper of Drexel university, reports from an event
organized by Drexel's Math and Computer Science Society[21]. Towards the
end of a thorough account of the debate between a Microsoft academic
relations manager and a member of the local Linux user group. Gentoo is
mentioned as an example for 64-bit computing as it should be, with not
just the kernel, but also applications compiled for this architecture.

Preface
-------
A short presentation of dams' configuration tools: (code indentation might
be broken. In case of questions ask dams[22])
22. dams@gentoo.org
Libconf
-------
Note: website: http://libconf.net what is it: it allows you to read/write
easily config tools
OK let's say you want to edit your gdm configuration, and set the
autologin user. Let's see if libconf provides something for that. Launch
simply on a console:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.1: |
|launch |
libconf--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
| |
|libconf |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.1: libconf command line
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf1.png
Now let's call the built-in help:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.2: |
|libconf |
help-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
| |
|help |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
as suggested, you'll see the 'list_templates' command. Type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.3: |
|list_templates------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------
| |
|list_templates |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.2: list of available high level templates
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf2.png
Generic/Shell is the one the most used, but there are some others. As you
can see, there is a 'X/Gdm' template. Now let's see what options it offers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.4: |
|options for |
X/Gdm----------------------------------------------------------------------
---
| |
|list_template_options X/Gdm |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.3: X/Gdm options
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf3.png
You can see it asks you to launch man Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm. If you do
that it'll tell you there is no such documentation, that because it's not
yet written. Too bad, huh? Nevermind, you'll see it's easy enough.
Now let's do a bit perl:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.5: |
|gdm_autologin.pl----------------------------------------------------------|
---------------
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|# then use the template |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|# now we would like to see what the structure looks like |
|use Data::Dumper; |
|print Dumper($gdm_conf) . "\n"; |
|# that will print the content of the structure |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
write this in a file called gdm_autologin.pl, set it executable and
launched it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.6: |
|launch |
gdm_autologin.pl-----------------------------------------------------------
--------------
| |
|./gdm_autologin.pl |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6.4: dumped structure with gdm_autologin.pl
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/sc_libconf4.png
It's easy to understand how it is structured. Now what we want, is take a
username in argument, and set it to the autologin. That is done with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.7: |
|take username in argument and set it to the |
autologin------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
| |
|$gdm_con->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $user; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here is the complete script:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.8: |
|complete script for |
autologin------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|# get the first argument |
|my $user = $ARGV[0] or die 'please give me one parameter'; |
|# use the template |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|# change the autologin field |
|$gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $user; |
|# then write the structure back to the file |
|$gdm_conf->write_conf(); |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it'll do the job. You can see that libconf has indented the file,
which is easier to read. But if you don't want that, simply add the
following line before writing the file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.9: |
|don't let libconf intend the |
file-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
| |
|$Libconf::Templates::Indentspaces = ''; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: more doc (sorry it's not complete):
http://libconf.net/documentation/html/Libconf.html
Gtk2Fu
------
Note: website: http://libconf.net/gtk2-fu/ what is it: it's a layer on
top of perl-gtk2, that make it simplier and better.
gtk2fu is actually simple: it provides more power and easiness. There is
also full documentation[23] available.
23. http://search.cpan.org/~dams/Gtk2Fu-0.07/Gtk2Fu.pm
Now, if you have read the documentation, you should be able to create some
simple stuff. Here is a small application that is fully functional, and
display a GUI to edit the Automatic Login facility of gdm, based of what
we previously did with libconf:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 6.1: |
|GUI for Automatic Login facility of gdm based on |
libconf--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
| |
|#!/usr/bin/perl |
| |
|# first of all, include the libconf template module |
|use Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm; |
|my $gdm_conf = Libconf::Glueconf::X::Gdm->new({ filename => |
|'/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf' }); |
|$Libconf::Templates::Indentspaces = ''; |
| |
|# include Gtk2Fu |
|use Gtk2Fu qw(:all); |
|# initialize Gtk2; |
|Gtk2->init; |
| |
|# create the window |
|my $main_window = create_window(); |
|my $entry; |
|# create the menubar |
|my ($menubar, $item_factory) = $main_window->create_full_menubar( |
| [ |
| [ '/_File', undef, undef , 0, '<Branch>' ], |
| [ '/File/_Save', '<control>S', sub { $gdm_conf->write_conf(); |
|Gtk2->main_quit }, 0, '<StockItem>', 'gtk-save' ], |
| [. '/File/_Quit', '<control>Q', sub { Gtk2->main_quit }, 0, |
|'<StockItem>', 'gtk-quit' ], |
| ] |
| ); |
|# create the widgets, handlers, and actions |
|$main_window->signal_connect_(destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit } ) |
| ->add_(Gtk2::VBox->new(0,0) |
| ->gtkpack_(0, $menubar, |
| 1, Gtk2::VBox->new(0, 0) |
| ->gtkpack_(1, Gtk2::HBox->new(0, 0) |
| ->gtkpack_(0, 'Gdm AutomaticLogin', |
| 1, $entry = |
|Gtk2::Entry->new() |
| |
|- ->set_text_($gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin}) |
| |
|- ->signal_connect_(changed => sub { |
| |
|$gdm_conf->{daemon}{AutomaticLogin} = $entry->get_text(); |
| } ) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ->set_border_width_(5), |
| 0, Gtk2::HSeparator->new(), |
| 0, Gtk2::HButtonBox->new() |
| ->set_spacing_default_(10) |
| ->set_layout_('end') |
| |
|- ->gtkpack(Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-cancel') |
| ->set_border_width_(5) |
| ->signal_connect_(clicked => sub { |
|Gtk2->main_quit; }), |
| Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-ok') |
| ->set_border_width_(5) |
| ->signal_connect_(clicked => sub { |
|$gdm_conf->write_conf(); Gtk2->main_quit; }) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ) |
| ->show_all(); |
|Gtk2->main; |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save this in a test.pl, set it executable, and launch it, it'll display
something like:
Figure 6.1: gtk2fu autologin test-window
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/gtk2fu_gwn.png
The application is functional, if you run it as root and change the
content of the entry and save, it'll work. I use the similar approach with
perl-ncurses to build text mode GUIs.
That's it for today, this is just a presentation of what is possible with
libconf+gtk2fu+ncurses. I hope it gives some of you some ideas/directions
to look into. And if you are willing to join the configuration tool
deployment force, contact me.
