Re: Is this list still used?

Hi Paul,

yes, this is definitely an improvement. I’d have preferred git, mostly
because I had already imported the SVN tree into a git repository to
base the Debian package on (http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git), but I’m
sure I can handle hg as well.

An issue tracker is great! I’ll make sure I enter some things that I
notice when I get around to update the Debian package.

Thanks,
Joachim

Hi,

I was just pointed out that a new release, 4.3, is out. Great to see
that Serna Free is still alive! This mailing list unfortunately let’s
one think differently, as usually a Free Software’s developer mailing
list is the best indicator for activity. So is this list still used?

Thanks,
Joachim

serna does not support authorgroup

Dear Serna developers,

now that the mailing list is active again, I can continue forwarding
user requests. Here is the latest one:

correct. The concrete incarnation is seen in
http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;hb=HEAD
and the essence is
$ cd 3rd; ./configure syspkgonly && ./checked_build.sh
$ cd build; ./configure syspkg && make
$ make -C build/serna/app/ -f GNUmakefile $(CURDIR)/build/serna/app/Makefile.install

In Debian, we do not want any code duplication and convenience code
copies, especially for security reasons, so using the system libraries
is important. The current Serna package is built with only these 3rd
libraries:
DITA-OT1.4_fullpackage_bin.tar.gz
antlr-2.7.1.tar.gz
qtpropertybrowser-2.5-opensource.tar.gz
qtsingleapplication-2.6_1-opensource.tar.gz
(see http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/3rd;hb=HEAD)

Ideally, DITA would be packaged seperately, as it is useful without
Serna. Same holds for the two qt* packages.

Hi,

the attached mails don’t come through, maybe this works...

ok, I’m trying to re-send them.

BTW, I’d prefer if on-list mails are replied to on-list (unless it is
personal matters), so that others read the answers as well and they are
stored in the archive.

Speaking of others, are there any serna-interested people here, besides
the Syntext people and me?

Greetings,
Joachim

The current set of patches applied to the Debian tree is always at
http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=HEAD

Most of them are probably not suitable for inclusion upstream, such as
fixing some paths to fit the Debian file system hierarchy. But in those
cases I’d be grateful if I would not have to patch the code for that,
but could configure it via configure flags.

The patches are currently against rev288 of the trunk. (Trunk is
currently at 292, but seems to contain win32-only changes)

Did you build against libaspell-dev as provided by Ubuntu? What version
is it (it’s 0.60.6-4 here).

The crash happens for example when "show markup" is selected, but also

Mailing list functional again

Hi,

this is a test message. If it comes through I’ll re-send the mails I
tried to send before.

Support for other arches

[Now with correct CC]

Hi,

as you can see here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=serna-free
Serna fails on a few architectures. I’d like to see this fixed, if
possible.

Unless I’m mistaken, the greatest hurdle are the atomic ops defined in
sfworks/common/ThreadMutex.h, which are only implemented for a few
architectures. Did you consider using a library such as
libatomic-ops-dev or the functions provided by qt 
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/atomic-operations.html? This would probably
make the problem disappear.

Note that although libatomic-ops does not implement an atomicExchange
method directly, this is not a problem, as this method is not actually
used in the serna code.

Greetings,
Joachim

[Fwd: Bug#567160: serna segfault when publishing PDF]

Hi,

another bug report with a crash. I didn’t try to reproduce it yet, but
maybe someone one this list has a good idea based on the error message.

Blind guess: Check dispatching_sources for data size (user is on amd64).
