Package: galeon Version: 1.3.19-1 Severity: normal Working in the bookmark editor, including deleting folders, moving folders and bookmarks, and editing bookmarks, results in CVS- (and human-)unfriendly XML in the bookmarks.xbel file. Specifically, a lot of the file gets rolled up into single lines. This causes no end of conflicts upon check-in.
Ideally, the XML should be nested to make it more human-readable (as it once was!), but I'll take a single XML element per line. Checking in bookmarks is extremely useful to help one keep one's bookmarks consistent across many machines. I wrote the following quick hack to modify the bookmarks before check-in which might help someone else with this issue until this is fixed. Thanks! #! /usr/bin/perl -w use File::Copy; my $bookmarks = 'bookmarks.xbel'; my $tmp = "/tmp/bmfix$$"; open(FILE, "$bookmarks") || die("Could not open $bookmarks: $!\n"); open(OUT, ">$tmp"); while (<FILE>) { if (/^$/) { next; } if (/<\?xml version="1.0"\?>/) { print(OUT); next; } if (/<(galeon_xbel_version|time_[a-z_]+>|title|pixmap|nick|create_toolbar|smarturl)>/ ) { # Special cases; must be on one line. s|(.+)(<galeon_xbel_version>[0-9]+</galeon_xbel_version>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<time_[a-z_]+>[0-9]+</time_[a-z_]+>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<title>[^<]+</title>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<pixmap>[^<]+</pixmap>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<nick>[^<]+</nick>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<create_toolbar>[^<]+</create_toolbar>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; s|(.+)(<smarturl>[^<]+</smarturl>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|; } else { s|(.+)(<[^/][^>]*>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|g; # start tag s|(.+)(</[^>]*>)(.+)|$1\n$2\n$3|g; # start tag } if (/^$/) { next; } print(OUT); } close(FILE); close(OUT); move($tmp, $bookmarks) || die("Could not update $bookmarks: $!\n"); 0; -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (80, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages galeon depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii galeon-common 1.3.19-1 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii gconf2 2.8.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-control-center 1:2.8.1-3 The GNOME Control Center for GNOME ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-6 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-5 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.0-4 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.8.0-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libeel2-2 2.8.2-1 Eazel Extensions Library (for GNOM ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgail-common 1.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail17 1.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.8.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-4 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.4.1-1 Library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.1-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.8.0-6 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.8.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.8.0-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.8.3-9 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-9 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.4.14-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhowl0 0.9.8-2 Library for Zeroconf service disco ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnautilus2-2 2.8.2-2 libraries for nautilus components ii liborbit2 1:2.10.2-1.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.6.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtasn1-2 0.2.10-3 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxml2 2.6.11-5 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii mozilla-browser 2:1.7.5-1 The Mozilla Internet application s ii procps 1:3.2.1-2 The /proc file system utilities ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-9.1 A free electronic cataloging syste ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
