> Yay! Congratulations! So glad you are: (1) back; and (2) not a member of > that Great Newsgroup in the Sky! Thanks everyone. =:^) Still catching up on thousands of posts in the various lists I had followed on gmane previously (tens of thousands for the btrfs list/group, but I'll likely magic-mark-read all but the last couple thousand before starting to sort, but sorted/read from where I left off for the gentoo-dev list, near 9000 down to under 1300 now)... > I managed to build Sweet Solitude (0049344 github.com/GNOME/pan.git; > x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) on my Fedora 33 host, but it wasn't easy. While I > don't remember all the specific dependency installs I stumbled through > -- having scant clue about what I was doing as I am not a coder I'm not a coder either, but over the last COVID-year-plus I took some time to switch my live-git kde installation to running on wayland (on gentoo so it's all from-source already), rather dramatically improving my hack-patching skills in the process. I still can't do new code and am pretty much simply hack-patching one number to another and maybe copying some code patterns I see elsewhere near my focus, but my ability to actually *find* the code in question so I have a *chance* at a hack-patch is *dramatically* improved! And I used those new skills a bit getting current-git pan-code running against current-release libs and build toolchain, too. I've several patches to post once I get situated, tho I had help from a starter patch I found as a pull-request on gitlab. Plus I just today traced down the source of the ridiculously wide pan- prefs dialog bug that's bothered me for /years/ now, and hack-patched it too. (Basically just commented out a line, good down to about 1200 px. On my side-by-side-dual-4K setup it was 7000+ px wide before. But the proper fix to work on smaller screens needs a conditional I don't really know how to code, tho I probably could stare and trial-and-error it in a day. But it shouldn't take a proper coder 10 minutes, maybe 20 including build-and-runtime-testing.) We'll see what transpires once I post those. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
