I read your and Alexander's new emails and I agree with Alexander about
that the SysInfo is the one that who need to update or patch. We shouldn't
add anything unoffical in gdesklets if any old desklets is broke or old.

Bummer, looks like you will have to add explain in the pkg-message about
that libkse is required otherwise it won't work with libc_r.

Yeah, I have explained in my previous email. cpu-cache will return as " "
in the libdesklets/CPU.py.

I already have updated Network.py patch and add two patches of Sys.py and
Disk.py made by you, Franz. I gotta to do the clean installtion of
gdesklet and do some test first to make sure it runs fine. Then, I will
send the gdesklets.diff to you to see if it will work with your SysInfo if
you are willing to check and test before I send it to PR.
At the moment, I can't run libkse with my Nvidia driver or I will lose
5,000 emails and other stuff in the /usr/local and /usr/X11R6. It happened
to me like five times, it's no matter to me. :-)
I haven't test your SysInfo yet, but so far from what I have read. Here
are feedbacks for your SysInfo port:
- You need to add 'PKGNAMEPREFIX= gdesklets-'.
- You need to change from ${CP} to ${INSTALL_DATA}, I know
it's nasy but we have to do that. 100% people in freebsd-ports
think I should change like that.
- See above comment about add few more in pkg-message for libkse.
You should check deskutils/gdesklets-starterbar for example. I will update
all other desklets ports to get same what the
deskutils/gdesklets-starterbar has.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
