Zero Install 0.33

A new release of Zero Install (0.33) is now available:

 http://0install.net/injector.html

Changes since 0.32:

- Check network status with NetworkManager D-BUS service before doing
  background updates. The logic is:
  - If we're on-line, check right away.
  - Otherwise (offline, connecting, unknown), sleep for 20 seconds and
    if we're not offline at the end, go ahead.

  This is designed to prevent two problems:
  - You log in. 0launch tries to check for updates to everything in your
    session while you're still connecting. These things therefore never
    get updated.
  - You're offline, but 0launch displays notifications about failing to
    update from time-to-time.

  If you don't use NetworkManager, then the effect of this is to always
  delay updates by 20 seconds, which shouldn't cause any problems.

- Added support for getting feeds from mirrors. We start a mirror
  download if the primary site fails or takes longer than five seconds
  (in which case we try both in parallel). The mirror currently
  hard-coded to http://roscidus.com/0mirror.

- Also get GPG keys using the mirror. If we got a feed from a mirror,
  get the key from there too.

0release 0.7

0release 0.7 is now available:

 http://0install.net/0release.html

Changes since 0.6:

- Fixed formatting error in message when the archive size is wrong.

- Updates for new git-tag API. The -q option to git-tag is no longer
  supported (v1.5.4.3).

- Suppress warning about file permissions during tests.

- Cope with layouts where the feed isn't in the top-level directory.
  Run SCM commands from the top-level, not from the directory containing
  the feed.

- Grep for TODO/XXX/FIXME when releasing.

- Added logic for selecting the correct version control system.
  Currently, only GIT is supported, though.

- Fixed bug in error reporting of failing shell commands.

Inkscape 0.46 and other feeds

The Inkscape feed now has source and binaries (x86 and x86_64) for version 0.46.

  http://0install.net/2006/3rd-party/Inkscape.xml

I also updated GLib-dev, GTK-dev, Pango-dev, ATK-dev, GTKmm-dev and GLibmm-dev
so they can be used when compiling it. However, you still need to
install many -dev
packages manually:

$ apt-get install build-essential gettext libpng-dev libgc-dev
libfreetype6-dev liblcms-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libcairo-dev
libcairomm-1.0-dev libxslt-dev libboost-dev libpopt-dev

Make-headers 0.3

A new Make-headers is now available:

  http://0install.net/make-headers.html

Make-headers takes a non-Zero Install library source package
(e.g. GLib or GTK) and creates a -dev package (containing the
headers).

The big change in this version is that it works out the
"compile:lib-mappings" value automatically from the build results.

For each lib/lib*.so symlink, we add a mapping using the major version from
the link's target. These detected mappings are merged with any existing
mappings defined in the source feed, although you probably won't need
any now.

There's a longer explanation of the mappings system (and why we
need it) on the web-page.

python AssertionErrors / https as transport


Hey all :)

I was playing around with 0publish trying to create some feeds. I
created a script that updates a 0install feed and it worked fine on my
laptop but when I moved it to my server 0publish would bail out saying
nothing useful at all:

$ 0publish --set-version 2008-05-10 --set-released today --set-main
magicpath.sh --set-arch Linux-i686 [...]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 744, in emit
    msg = self.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 630, in format
    return fmt.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 418, in format
    record.message = record.getMessage()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 288, in getMessage
    msg = msg % self.args
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
Invalid interface:
Interface is invalid. (E)dit or (A)bort?

Uh. It turned out, that some assertion failed somewhere deep inside of
the injector codebase and python makes a poor choice for the default
message of failing assertions:

$ python -c 'try: assert False
> except Exception, e: print([e, e.message, str(e)])'
[AssertionError(), '', '']

Grr. I really hate Python's logging system. If there's anything wrong with the
format then it throws away not only the message, but the source of the error
too!

Thanks for tracking this down. I've fixed the bugs in 0publish and the injector.
Now, it will load a feed with any URLs, and doesn't produce an error unless you
actually try to download that version.
