This commit adds the 1st pass generator for these files. It also adds
documentation about the required fields in the "activity.info"
file, as AppStream requires more metadata than most activities currently
include.
When created via "git submodules add", a submodules may have the
"/.git" path be a file rather than a directory. The bundlebuilder
previously thought that all submodules had "/.git" as a directory.
This will allow .desktops for all of the activities to be
packaged. In the future, we could ship a special launcher script
so that the user can choose the jobject to run, but for now
we just open the activity using the command specified in the
activity.info file.
- Handle lack of GSettings gracefully.
- Still requires sugar-datastore.
- Supports avoiding X11 docks/panels.
- Provides icons for Activity windows.
Try it outside Sugar. Go to an Activity directory and run 'sugar-activity'.
Tested it with Terminal, Finance, Write, Browse, Memorize under XFCE4.
Tested in Gnome under OLPC-OS.
Also works from Sugar Terminal Activity.
Does not affect regular Sugar operation.
This is patch v.2 -
Addresses most concerns:
- Removed commented code, sorry.
- Changed code to use profile.get_nickname and get_color where possible.
Couldn't the launcher just pass this info?
Maybe the launcher could set the activity root as well?
- It is intended to be usable from the command line also.
Should put sugar version in the environment
- It is intended to work even without Sugar Shell installed.
Why don't we always set the icon?
- On XO it might use some memory. I was concerned to degrade
performance.
Also, imports should be at the top of the file?
- Also a concern about performance on XO.
This way it is only loaded in this use case.
Maybe it is insignificant -moved as requested.
It would be nice if the changes to the POT for sugar-toolkit-gtk3
could be incorporated in this pull request, please.
- There were no changes to POT files as part of this patch. Maybe
it is worth translating low level command line tools, not sure.
Suggest packaged activities might also provide .desktop files.
- Intriguing but not sure within scope of this patch. You mean generate
a .desktop file automatically as an option? Sounds nice!
Suggest sugar-activity might also accept path to unpacked bundle.
- Implemented!
Sugar depended on Rainbow for clearing the activity instance/ and tmp/
directories. But Rainbow is no longer used downstream.
- remove support for Rainbow,
- avoid race when creating directories; don't check they exist before we
create.
Git submodules are only listed by their root directory in the
output of "git ls-files". Therefore, we must handle this case
so that the files from the module are included in the install
and dist_xo commands.
To reproduce the issue, you could do something like the following:
cd pippy
git clone https://github.com/samdroid-apps/collabwrapper
git add collabwrapper
python setup.py install # or just osbuild run
As the ticket describe, create a object in the Journal
is no longer optional. The change do not break activities,
because the optional parameter is not removed, just ignored.
When is used to clone a activity from sugar,
the options parameter is set to None.
The other uses of no_fail have False as default value
but this case was missing.
The effect of this error is that a .xo is not created in the Journal,
when the user select 'Duplicate' in the View Source window.
When a programmer need open one activity from other [1]
usually need display in the user interface information about the activity
to open, like the name or the icon.
This method allow get this information, previously only available on jarabe.

Historically, distro packagers have been using bunblebuilder, via
"setup.py install", to populate packages directories and files.
The install procedure uses ActivityBundle.install_mime_type to install
custom mime types, by creating symlinks and updating the system mime
types database via the update-mime-database tool.
When ActivityBundle.install_mime_type is executed during packages
creation, the symlinks end-up broken in the final package and the use
of update-mime-database populates the final packages with a new copy
of the database files which could clash with the system copy.
This patch adds a new option, called --skip-install-mime to "setup.py
install" to skip the execution of ActivityBundle.install_mime_type and
avoid the issues mentioned above.
Activity packagers should use this new option. The creation of symlinks
and the execution of update-mime-database should be done in post install
packaging steps.

After add the directory to the IGNORE_DIRS array,
we need make the standard procedure to get the list off files
for the bundle, get_files_in_git honor the configured ignored
files and dirs. That was not a problem until now,
because that files was already not added to git,
but in the case of the screenshots, are included in git,
but we don't want include them in our bundles.
This commit adds the `launch_bundle` function in `sugar3.activity.
activity` which accesses the same function in the shell is over dbus.
This is means the shell process launches the bundle. Activities

If a translator add a '\n' char in the summary translation
ConfigParser can't parse the linfo file.
Remove them when the file is created and show a message to warning
to the developer.
The BundleBuilder currently crashes on a malformed translation file. This is
good for humans (makes them fix their issues) but crashes bots who need it
compiled and don't care about that single translation file.
This patch adds a --no-fail option which stops the builder from crashing
git version 1.9.3, in a activity directory created inside sugar-build/activities
return a empty string when the command "git ls-files" is executed,
and no repository is configured.
We need verify that condition, and process a file list from the filesystem.
Use set_active and save events to keep track of the time,
in seconds, that the activity is on the main screen. The
time is calculated and stored each time an activity is
open/resumed and closed. Therefore, each activity entry
will have an array of seconds for each time it was used.
This makes a 1 to 1 relationship between the spent and
lauch times. In orders words, we can reflect not only the
"when", but also the " for how long".
Even though this time does not necessarily represents the
real time the user "used" the activity, it is a low-cost
approach for reflecting time.
This is a long requested featured from deployments that have
been using statistics tools on journal metadata, and this
patch is already being used by OLPC-AU.

As part of an effort to "honor" max_participants, this patch supports setting
max_participants in activity.info, thus making it available in the bundle.
By default, if it is not set in the bundle, the previous behavior persists.
In support of this change, a cache of Activity bundles is
maintained. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary calls to the file
system.
Add a new method, called notify_user, to the base
Activity class.
This method can be used by activity developers to
send notifications to the new notification front
end. ie.,
self.notify_user('New High Score!',
'Your score is over 8999')
In some network environments, suspend/reume can make loose
messages and break collaboration. This patch inhibit suspend
when collaboration start. The implementation can be used by activities
or Sugar to inhibit suspend/resume when needed.

This drops a lot of code at the same time. The code in
__init__ was:
* Using a SUGAR_PREFIX environment variable that is not
defined anywhere
* Hardcoding prefix to /usr
* Setting up the sugar-base domain which doesn't exist anymore
The i18n module code was overcomplex because it was thought
for language packs which we don't support anymore, it was
not handling correctly locales with a country prefix, it
was hard coding the python prefix and it was not sorting
the directories as it intended too anyway.
The logic is very simple now. Use the locale directory in
the same prefix sugar-toolkit-gtk3 was installed, unless
SUGAR_LOCALEDIR is defined (for self contained bundles).
Fixes#4603 .
In GTK activities, this is done by _ActivitySession when the activity
unregisters itself, in _complete_close method.
Making the web activity aware of session logout will be handled in
another patch for the shell, see http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4611
Upon import of uuid, that module uses ctypes.util to find libuuid/libc,
which involves forking a shell process which then forks and runs ldconfig.
ldconfig performs a whole bunch of disk accesses. This is a slowdown.
uuid.getnode() is also documented to be slow. Lets avoid using it in
the activity launch path; we don't need such a high degree of
randomness.
This makes activities launch 1-2 seconds faster on XO-1.
It's a first step to make html activities much lighter. It also
just makes a lot more sense to have them interact directly with
the system rather than proxying through the python activity.
Otherwise anything might access the bus.
Note: This will not work if the user moves to another html page. They
will not have a port/key passed in the query string of the URL, so
they won't be able to connect.
If the default locale is not set (see SL #4450 for a use case), get_locale_path
does now return None so that the sugar-activity script can handle that case
cleanly.

This adds a property that indicates that a Palette should
behave in a locking manner. The behaviour is the same
as with the secondary Toolbars: when you hover over the invoking
widget the Palette will popdown and react to mouse movements,
leaving the invoker area or the Palette itself will popdown
the Palette again. When you click the invoking widget
the Palette will be locked. You have to unlock it again
to pop it down.
This patch makes the DescriptionButton and the Colorbutton
work.
If the DescriptionButton or the Colorbutton are placed in
the primary toolbar they will share the locked state with
the secondary toolbars. Only one can be locked at a time.
When a secondary toolbar is unlocked we do force that the
open Palettes are closed. Having a locking Palette in
a subtoolbar will also work (Activity Toolbar case or
ColorButton case in a few examples). There is no state
sharing implemented here at the moment, but so far we
do only have cases with one lockable Palette in a
subtoolbar.
This will also fix the case where we want to use the
OSK to edit the description of the activity SL #3887.

Setting this option will popup the Palette on left click or tap
and popdown the Palette if it is up. This functionality has been
added with c4165967d5e05607db8b3e0969b516da87855431.
The ShareButton, which derrives from the RadioMenuButton, had the
desired behavior already overriding the on_clicked method, we
do this now in the invoker.
The DescriptionButton did only handle the popup part so far, with
this change the Palette will also popdown when the button is clicked
and the Palette is up.
Since both are Toolbuttons we have to set the hide_tooltip_on_click
property to False otherwise the popdown part would not function, see
1a8f89226b for more info.

When git is installed, it will return non-zero if it gets asked to list
the files in a non-git-repository. The subprocess.Popen instantiation is
successful in this case and the returncode attribute will contain the
error code from git. The current code handles this fine and does fall
back to our own source file listing facility.
If git isn't installed, however, trying to instantiate subprocess.Popen
will fail with OSError. We need to catch this and fall back to our own
source file listing facility like we do for the non-repository case.

Previously we were using a GdkPixmap [1] created with the get_snapshot [2]
method of the Gtk.Widget. GTK 3 encourages to use cairo surfaces
now instead.
The ported mothod does create a cairo surface similar to that of the canvas'
window and draws on that. Then we create a cairo image surface with
the desired preview size and scale the canvas surface on that.
