xfwm4 themes from xfwm4-themes are not packed

xfwm4 themes from xfwm4-themes are not packed

[Müller, Andreas]

hope this is the right adress for the current challenge I got:

I created a recipe for xfce/xfwm4/slim. After everything working fine so far, I tried to make it more colorful and check the xfwm4-themes. Doing so, I had to realize that all the themes coming from xfwm4-themes(-4.6.0) are not packed and are not found in rootfs /usr/share/themes. The themes included in xfwm4 can be found.

My recipe contains (beside many other / tests without xfwm4-themes lead to same result):

#  *** THEMES FROM xfwm4 *** \
  xfwm4-theme-default \
  xfwm4-theme-kokodi \
#  *** THEMES FROM xfwm4-themes *** \
  xfwm4-themes \
  xfwm4-theme-adept \
  xfwm4-theme-agua \

The themes from xfwm4-themes seem to be built (but not packed) properly because all of them appear in

'tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/xfwm4-themes-4.6.0-r2/image/usr/share/themes' and
'tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/xfwm4-themes-4.6.0-r2/staging-pkg/staging/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/share/themes'

Since I got no helping information in the log files I tried bitbake with the option '-v'.

This drops messages for all the 'xfwm4-theme*' recipes like

NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime xfwm4-theme-default (xfwm4-themes, xfwm4);
NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match runtime xfwm4-theme-default
...
NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime xfwm4-theme-kokodi (xfwm4-themes, xfwm4);
NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match runtime xfwm4-theme-kokodi
...
NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime xfwm4-themes (xfwm4-themes, xfwm4);
NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match runtime xfwm4-themes
...
NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime xfwm4-theme-adept (xfwm4-themes, xfwm4);
NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match runtime xfwm4-theme-adept
...
NOTE: multiple providers are available for runtime xfwm4-theme-agua (xfwm4-themes, xfwm4);
NOTE: consider defining a PREFERRED_PROVIDER entry to match runtime xfwm4-theme-agua

I checked the recipes for xfwm4 and xfwm4-themes. Both contain

PACKAGES_DYNAMIC = "xfwm4-theme-*"

This lead me to the idea to add within my recipe
  xfwm4-theme-bullshit \
and BB did not complain (but I dont't know if this is related to the problem)!

Is it possible that
1. BB only checks within xfwm4 for xfwm4-theme*?
2. 'themedir' within xfwm4-themes_4.6.0 links to the wrong path since both xfwm4 and xfwm4-themes have the same directory structure for themes?

I would be very pleased if somebody could help me on this issue because my knowledge-funds are not yet enough to fix this issue.

Most of the Xfce 4.6.* work was done by myself and while I have not
encountered any issues with the themes for the Xfce Window Manager I can see
after reviewing the recipes that there is some room for improvement in the
xfwm4-themes recipe (your quite right, it's not working as it should and is
also not very clever).

Leave this with me for a few days and I'll get things cleaned up and
submitted for inclusion in OpenEmbedded.

John Willis

Hi John,

Thanks for support.

While you are working on that (you offered support -> I ask for more :-):

How about adding recipes for slim also? I stole the recipe&patches from git://git.openpandora.org/openpandoraoe.git. The only modifications to get it work was
1. Add sessreg in my recipe (although it is part RDEPEND within slim_1.3.1.bb ?)
2. On the target I need to cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc /home/<LoginUser>/.xinitrc. I wanted to modify the recipe in that way that login_cmd links directly to the file /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc but...

Best Regards

Andreas

For 2. you should be able to add said .xinitrc to /etc/skel/ so every
new user will get it.

Dear Andreas,

The SLiM recipes you grabbed are also mine ;) (I am the main OE/Angstrom dev
for OpenPandora).

Those recipes need more work (there are a few nasty bugs in SLiM not passing
in the session variable correctly that makes a mess of xinitrc session
selection). I need to take some time to look at them.

That's the sole reason they are not proposed for OE yet and are sitting in
my 'OpenPandora hacky stuff' overlay tree ;-).

For 2 take a look at recipes/pandora-system/pandora-skel.bb in the same
repository. That's how we install a .xinitrc for all users on the
OpenPandora (making use of /etc/skel).

John

LOL & thanks a lot I will check the pandora-skel.bb

To follow up on this I have done some quick refactoring of
recipes/xfce-base/xfwm4-themes_4.6.0.bb and published the results to my tree
at
http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=shortlog;
h=op.openembedded.dev (Your already familiar with the OP trees so I assume
you will have no issues cherry picking off the commit).

The package now packs up all 80+ :-o XFWM4 extra themes correctly and also
creates a xfwm4-themes meta package that depends on all the themes. 

This means that you can now add any one of the 80 odd themes to your image
explicitly or (better) just add xfwm4-themes to your image to have it drag
in every extra theme that is not part of the xfwm4 core package.

If you could test this and report back I would appreciate it, assuming all
looks ok I'll request this patch is pushed into OE mainline.

Regards,

John

Re: xfwm4 themes from xfwm4-themes are not packed

["Andreas Müller"]

Dear John,

I got your new recipe and did bake

- with xfwm4-themes -> OK all themes could be found on target
- with specific xfwm4-theme-* -> OK only the selected themes appear in rootfs
- (minor issue & related to xfwm4 I think) with xfwm4-theme-foo: No complain..

Thanks a lot for quick mending!

Andreas
