[needs-packaging] Open Komodo Edit

[Arve Bersvendsen]

Komodo Edit, also known as Open Komodo, recently got issued under the Mozilla Public License 1.1. The main site for the project resides at http://www.openkomodo.com/ with downloads (latest trunk) issued from http://downloads.openkomodo.com/komodoedit/nightly/latest-trunk/ (binaries) and a subversion repository at http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo

[Email-deleted-gqku (email-deleted-gqku)]

- Description: Freeware advanced editor for dynamic and Web languages. [Note that it is a limited version of the Komodo IDE -which is also available for Linux, though not a freeware]

- Homepage: http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/

- License: ActiveState Komodo Edit (globally, proprietary software, free (cost) for personal and commercial use, free ("freedom" and cost) to distribute, without any change, non commercially). It is not yet included in "/usr/portage/licenses" (I will attach it).

- New local USE flag: `app-editors/komodo-edit-bin:default-templates - Installs the default templates for new files` (Rationale: most default templates are empty, or near-empty, and can clutter the new file dialog, so we permit not to install them -some people might want to keep them, as a number of these files still contain a possibly useful template).

- Category and package name: "app-editor/komodo-edit-bin".

- Note: it is an x86 binary package; sources are not available.

- Note: the package ships with its own Python (it seems to be well-separated, but symlinks to the system version does not seem to work), Mozilla (Komodo Edit seems to be using Mozilla for its whole interface, so I have no idea if we could use our own version), HTML tidy (could be replaced with a simple symlink), and a number of DTDs/schemas (including a few for which we already have ebuilds).

I forgot to mention that there are EXECSTACK, TEXTRELS, and insecure RUNPATH stuffs, but I don't know exactly what these are, and if there is any possibility to solve these problems with a proprietary binary package.

If needed, they have a bugzilla, here: http://bugs.ActiveState.com/Komodo

[Email-deleted-gqku (email-deleted-gqku)]

Note that an ebuild for Komodo IDE (the commercial IDE from which Komodo Edit is derived), has been posted in bug #82667 (an already existing ebuild request). The package is very similar, except for a few more files and directories.

[Dennis Schridde (devurandom)]

Was FOSSed a month ago. Sourcepackages seem to be still missing, though.
http://www.openkomodo.com/

[Mescalinum-gentoo (mescalinum-gentoo)]

as the openkomodo's README says, source are available (only?) from SVN:

svn co http://svn.openkomodo.com/repos/openkomodo/trunk openkomodo

[Trentm-activestate (trentm-activestate)]

If it would really help, I should be able to add the creation of source packages to regular releases. Would that help?

Otherwise the following works:

 svn export http://svn.openkomodo.com/repos/openkomodo/trunk openkomodo
 tar czf openkomodo.tar.gz openkomodo

[karl (karl-hiramoto)]

Most gentoo packages prefer released versions as they are easier to incorporate into portage. QA is easier, and you don't have a moving target that a SVN repository is.

[Trentm-activestate (trentm-activestate)]

Karl,

Note that the "build number" in a given Komodo release, e.g. the "527" in this build:

http://downloads.openkomodo.com/komodoedit/nightly/latest-trunk/Komodo-Edit-4.3.0-alpha1-527-linux-libcpp6-x86.tar.gz

is the SVN revision number from which that Komodo is built. So the exact source for that build can be retrieved via:

 svn export -r 527 http://svn.openkomodo.com/repos/openkomodo/trunk openkomodo
 tar czf openkomodo-527.tar.gz openkomodo

[Michaelkintzios (michaelkintzios)]

Hi All, any idea how long before this editor is included in the portage tree?

AMD64:

error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think this requires gtk+ (or emul-linux-x86-gtklibs) as well.

> Created an attachment (id=154735) [edit]

I hacked the previously 4.0.2 ebuild, by updating the download path and uncommenting the following line:
dodoc FEEDBACK.txt README.txt RELNOTES.txt || die "dodoc failed"

With this line emerge fails.

It is important to note that Komodo Edit is now released under a different license:
"Komodo Edit is built on the Mozilla code base and is now licensed under the same terms as Firefox: Mozilla Public License (MPL), GNU General Public License (GPL), and GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL)."

[Freaky (freaky)]

Any news on this package? 4.4 is out btw, would be nice to have it in portage.

[Michaelkintzios (michaelkintzios)]

Yes please! :)

The wife is waiting to use her KDE desktop and her excuse is that it does not have Komodo-Edit for her web development work.

[Fabien Tassin (fta)]

I started a packaging branch: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~fta/+junk/openkomodo.head
No "home" yet, I just published it there so people interested could have a look.
It's incomplete and need more work.

Basically, It builds the patched xulrunner.
Next step is to remove the requirement for the siloed python which should not be needed in Ubuntu.
The rest should be straight forward.

Not sure when I will have time to work on that.
Help welcome. Ping me on IRC.

ebuild for komodo-edit-bin-4.4.1

Here's another hack-ebuild that works here. There were couple of errors, but no show-stoppers; dunno what they mean, but if you want komodo-edit on your computer, you should probably not worry.

Would be nice if someone added the ebuild to the official tree. For those installing it manually, consider the "dev-util" category.

Hi,
AFAIK there no package sources for this package.
It would be great if you could start creating/maintaining it.

Looking forward your opinion.

Based on your use of jpeg dep it needs to use the virtual/jpeg instead. Just a heads up as libjpeg-turbo will be keyworded once 1.1 final is released.
