Christian Hergert: Status Week 45
news.movim.eu / PlanetGnome • 5 days ago - 20:32 • 5 minutes
Ptyxis
-
Handle some incoming issue reports which basically amounts to copying their question into google, searching, and copying the first result back. A reminder that we really need dedicated support channels that are not the issue tracker.
But more importantly, how you move people there is still problematic. I could of course just tell them to go over “there”, but when the questions are so simple you end up taking the gentler approach and just answering it begrudgingly rather than coming off abrupt.
-
Issue reported about an async spin loop from
GMainLoopafter closing a window which has a really long paste actively feeding it. Looks like it needs to be addressed in VTE (more on that below), but also decided to raise priority of our fallbackSIGKILLhandler ifSIGHUPfailed. -
Code review for incoming community feature to swap profiles on an active tab.
VTE
-
MR sent upstream to hopefully address the corner case of disposing a terminal widget while paste is ongoing.
-
Noticed that ibus-daemon is taking considerable CPU when running the
ucs-decodetest tool on Ptyxis/VTE. Probably something related to tracking input cursor positions w/ the text protocol or similar. Reached out to @garncho for any tricks we might be able to pull off from the VTE side of things.
Libdex
-
Looking into some strange behaviors with
dex_thread_wait_for()when implementing the cross-thread semantics for libgit2 wrapping. As a result I changed where we control life-cycle for the waited upon future so that it is guaranteed longer than the DexWaiter. -
Spend some time thinking about how we might approach a more generalized wrapper for existing GIO-like async functions. I was never satisfied with
DexAsyncPairand perhaps now that we will gain agdbus-codegenfor Libdex we could gain a*.girfuture wrapping codegen too. -
Add a new
DexFutureListModelwhich is aGListModelwhich is populated by aDexFutureresolving to aGListModel. Very handy when you have a future and want aGListModelimmediately.
Foundry
-
Add
FoundryFileRowso we have easy mechanics for the whole typing a file/directory path and browsing to it. Re-use the existing path collapse/expand stuff in Foundry to allow for niceties like~/Directory. Fix a bunch of obnoxiousness that was in the Builder implementation of this previously. -
Add
foundry_operation_is_cancelled()to simplify integrating with external blocking/threaded code such as libgit2. This allows breaking out of a clone operation by checking for cancellation in the progress callbacks from the server but works for any sort of blocking API that itself has callback functions in its state machine. -
Add new CLI formatter for
GFlagsto usevalue_nickinstead of the whole enumeration value inUP_CASE. -
Add
FoundryBuildPipeline:build-systemwith discover from theFoundryBuildAddinbefore full addin loading occurs. This replicates theIdeBuildSystemDiscoveryfrom Builder without having to use a secondary addin object. -
Add priorities to
FoundryBuildAddinso that we can pre-sort by priority before build-system discovery. That fixes loading the WebKit project out of the box so thatCMakeLists.txtwill be matched beforeMakefileif you configured in tree. -
Implement write-back for
FoundrySdkManager:sdkto the active configuration after checking of the config supports the SDK. -
Implement write-back for
buildconfigfiles. -
Implement mechanics for write-back
PluginFlatpakConfig. Also start on implementation for all theFlatpakSerializabletypes. This is made much more complicated by needing to keep track of the different subtle ways lists can be deserialized as well as referenced files which can be included. It will mean write-back may have a bucket of files to update. Though right now we only will do this for a few select fields so we can probably punt a bit. -
Meson cleanup to all our tools that test various aspects of Foundry outside the confines of an entire IDE.
-
Non-destructive editing of flatpak manifests works for the core feature-set we need. It requires storing a lot of state while parsing manifests (and recursively their includes) but it seems to work well enough.
-
Setup needs-attention tracking for panels and pages.
-
Write a new
foundry.1manpage for inclusion in distributions that really want that provided. -
Add
:authorproperty toFoundryForgeIssueandFoundryForgeMergeRequestso we can start presenting peer information in the Builder UI. Implement this for gitlab plugin. -
Improve handling to changes in
implicit-trailing-newlinefrom file settings getting loaded/applied. That way we don’t run into weird behavior with file-change monitoring withligbit2getting something different than we’d expect. -
Support for keyword search when listing issues/merge-requests through the forge interfaces.
-
Add
FoundryDocumentationIntentfor intent to read documentation. -
Very basic support for
Justfileusingjustto build. Currently it is sort of a cop-out because it usesbuildandcleaninstead of trying to track down[default]and what not. Contributions welcome.
Builder
-
Iteration on the new clone dialog based on Foundry including wiring up all the PTY usage, page navigation, etc.
-
Update builder-dark GtkSourceView style to fit in better with updated Adwaita palette. Even though it’s not using Tango palette for all the colors, we still want it to fit in.
-
Iteration on forge listings
-
Wire up needs attention for panels/pages
-
Setup forge splitbutton so we can jump to gitlab (or other forge) quickly or alternatively list issues/etc in app as we gain more forge support.
-
Implement manuals panel and page on top of the Foundry service
FoundryDocumentationManager. -
Implement browser page and port over old urlbar implementation. Still slogging through all the intricacies of navigation policy which I didn’t handle so well in Builder originally.
-
Work on bringing over path bar from Manuals so we can use it more generically for things like symbol paths and what not.
-
A lot of little things here and there that just need plumbing now that we’re in a world of futures and listmodels.
-
Lots of work on the updated greeter using Foundry. It looks mostly the same, just less madness in implementation.
Flathub
-
Investigate why older Builder is what is shown as published.
-
Merge PR to update Ptyxis to 49.2
-
Update Manuals to 49.1 since I missed the .0. Had a lot of libfoundry things to bring over as well. Needs an exceptions update to flathub linter.
Text Editor
-
Update builder style scheme
Libpanel
-
Update needs-attention style for the panel switcher buttons
Manuals
-
Make ctrl+k select all the existing text in the search entry as part of the focus-search action.
