Hi rerwin

Topic: frisbee interaction with network_tray

Test environment: pristine frugal install of tahrpup-6.0.2 k3.14.20-pae with no updates

Problem: neither the "built-in" version of frisbee (frisbee-1.1-20130415-bashfix) nor frisbee-1.3.4-20150426 updates the network_tray icon or status message when "Disconnect from Network" is chosen.

Behaviour does not change if I also install network_tray-2.9.1-i486

sns in the same test environment behaves correctly.

Let me know if I can pm you any diagnostic information.

Regards
peebee

Hi rerwin
I noticed that to translate frisbee-1.3.4, lack these changes:
- /usr/local/bin/frisbee
line 916

xanad,
Thank you for catching and reporting those items. I will add them for 1.3.5, but am waiting for any further bugs to be found for it. I have some internal changes to go into it, but they do not change the behavior nor provide any user-perceivable benefits.

However, I do not believe that the addition to func is necessary. That file is always "sourced" (. /usr/local/frisbee/func) so is considered to be part of the sourcing script. The ". gettext.sh" in frisbee and its profile_editor and diag functions should allow eval_gettext to be recognized in all of the supporting functions defined in func.

If you know of a case where the absence of gettext.sh in func itself is causing a problem, please tell me about that.

Hi Richard.

Just a request with the pinstall.sh

I am aware you have a bunch of code in there that runs to detect old frisbee files and correct them for the new frisbee version. Unfortunately, these are running in the woof build system. It does no harm (for me, but perhaps for some will run on their woof host system) but it may be disconcerting for the woof builder to see a bunch of 'sed' errors when the main woof pinstall.sh is run.

TIA

01micko,
Thanks for mentioning that impact. I am adding in 8 places:

[ "$(ls root/.packages/frisbee-1.*.files 2>/dev/null)" ] \
&&

ahead of each sed...files line. Will that take care of it?

Do you have any further thoughts on improving frisbee?

01micko,
I, too, would like the dhcpcd notifications to use whichever method is available in a puppy distro, but am unsure how to go about it. Please let me know how you do it and I will use the concept.

Hi Richard

I just tweaked my function to detect 'dunst', the notification daemon I have installed. Just tested. If I comment dunst then gtkdialog-splash is used. You could get fancy and use other pop ups (like gxmedssage) but I don't think it necessary, however some older pups don't have gtkdialog-splash so maybe it would be useful.

Hi Richard

Do you think you will be making any dropwait versions of more recent dhcpcd?

Slackware-current now ships with dhcpcd-6.8.2

and Arch Linux with dhcpcd-6.10.1

Thanks

peebee,
I expect to, at some point. Right now I have all I can handle (pgprs 2.0 & frisbee 1.4). I want to prepare some of my lupu fixes to go into woof, which could get complicated.

Is there any reason to focus on a particular version of dhcpcd for upgrade? Or anything needed that makes an upgrade urgent?

Hi peebbe!

Our friends from MX 15 Linux like to add frisbee to their repository.
Please, do explain to them that frisbee is free , without
licence limitations.
Thanks.
