Proposal moving *spell dicts to ports/textproc/*spell/dicts

2010-12-04 Thread David DEMELIER
Hi,

As I said some weeks ago I personally don't like much the use of
ports/{french,chinese,whatever}/ directories. I saw that openbsd
created sub directories in the aspell port. I think this is a really
good idea, it's really easier to find.

I don't think german/ispell french/aspell textproc/gu-aspell are
really easy to find.

I propose creating a ports/textproc/aspell/dicts and same for
textproc/ispell and textproc/hunspell and moving every spellings ports
to these directories.

On the surface the idea sounds sensible. Maybe there are some issues relating 
to consistency across the whole ports tree in the way languages are handled.

I see no solution being intrinsically better than any other but would tend to 
favour a consistent approach for all language. We already have one built in 
inconsistencyt -- i.e. english is handled different;ly than any other.

IMHO one inconsistency is enough!!

I don't know about hunspell and ispell, but aspell's dictionaries are
maintained and updated independently, at different dates: its why these
are separate ports.

emacs and gconf troubles

2010-12-04 Thread Andrea Venturoli

Hello.
I'm having a small, low priority, trouble; more an annoyance in fact.

Since a while, if I start an X11 emacs from a terminal window, after I 
close emacs, the terminal window won't close with Ctrl-D; I have to 
close the terminal windows by hand.


With the latest upgrade, I see the following warning at emacs startup:


(emacs:2267): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync()

> exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD

I really don't understand what I should check...
Any help is appreciated.

 bye & Thanks

This is part of a much larger problem that isn't unique to FreeBSD ports:  the
desirable abstractions do not fit into a single hierarchical pattern as
represented by directories.  I humbly suggest that the directory
structure should be kept as simple as possible, hopefully only reflecting
one abstraction vector (instead of several as at present: human language, 
programming
language, framework, application domain, etc.).  Then we probably need to
develop more useful tools for managing the other abstraction vectors.
'make search', 'pkgsearch', etc. help, but perhaps some form of tagging
might be more to the point, with guidelines for porters about what kinds
of tags are expected.

We are running out of diskspace on event the FTP master site - currently we are 
at ~1TB. The xz compression gives as significant space saving - so there is 
already a need.

PS. anyone saying a 1 TB etc. disk is cheap will be ignored.

kde 4.5.4

2010-12-04 Thread Franci Nabalanci
Yesterdays update to KDE 4.5.4 from 4.5.3 was without problems but when I
start KDE (startx)  it show splash screen than turn to black with mouse cursor
which works, I heard sound when  looks KDE start and that is it. I switch
to console to close (ctrl-c) KDE. I try to start with a new user but it is
the same problem.
I also try to start KMail with ALT-F2 - kmail and when I look in
console if it is running was there.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
