Hello *, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
qtiplot-0.9.6 arreared recently. It requires qwt-5.1.0. I made these two |
| 4 |
ebuilds, and committed them to the science overlay. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I propose *not* to use an external liborigin in qtiplot. Am I right that |
| 7 |
liborigin is used only by qtiplot? Then it would be better to get rid of |
| 8 |
sci-libs/liborigin at all. It seems veru unlikely that anybody else |
| 9 |
(except qtiplot) will want it. And qtiplot always contains its own, |
| 10 |
newest and customized source of liborigin. If a uswer cares for Origin |
| 11 |
compatibility, he will be better off with this version. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Two defects in the current ebuild. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1. It does not install translations. I cannot understand why, it seems it |
| 16 |
should, but it does not. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2. In order to start working properly, for a given user, qtiplot needs |
| 19 |
some initial configuring. This is against the gentoo spirit - programs |
| 20 |
should work out of the box. qtiplot uses QSettings. From reading Qt4 |
| 21 |
documentation, I concluded that a working configuration can be created by |
| 22 |
installing /etc/xdg/ProIndependent/QtiPlot.conf , with various path |
| 23 |
settings (to help, python files, etc.). No, this does not work, I cannot |
| 24 |
understand why. It seems that only ~/.config/ProIndependent/QtiPlot.conf |
| 25 |
is taken into account. This means that each user has to say where are |
| 26 |
help files etc. I added some elogs about this. Does anybody understand |
| 27 |
how QSettings work, and how to provide system-wide defaults? |
| 28 |
|

Best wishes, |
