Arch Linux

New release.

@ fettouhi, try this:

Hit Alt-F2, start "kwallet". Select "Configure Wallet from the context menu of the wallet icon in the System Tray. Select the tab "Access Control" and change the access for KGmailNotifier to "Always Allow."

That should to the trick.

My KDE wallet constaly pops every time log in and asks for my password when kgmailnotifier starts. How can I set it not to do that? With Amarok and Last.fm I don't get that question. I only got it once the first time I started Last.fm and I clicked "always allow". But with kgmailnotifier I've never been given that option.

Done.

please remove the empty arrays and the empty post_remove()

New release. Thanks for letting me know.

I modified the PKGBUILD for version 5.0.2.0

@baghera: fixed the PKGBUILD. Thanks!

Then good luck with your exam :) and thanks for the answer.

@ baghera: quite obviously, you are right about all of these. I was aware that the PKGBUILD is deficient, but I have a week-long exam and wanted to at least get a working the PKGBUILD out there before it starts so that others can use it, too. I will fix the issues next week.

Not a bad program. Good thing too since kcheckgmail just mysteriously went down on me. Thanks for the update.

Hi, thanks for updating the package. I think there are a few fixes for PKGBUILD
1) you should add cmake and automoc4 to makedepends
2) you should remove kdelibs from deps and add kdebase-workspace
3) you should add a kgmailnotifier.install to refresh hicolor icon theme cache. The .install should contain this:
post_install() {
xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor &> /dev/null
}

post_upgrade() {
post_install
}

post_remove() {
post_install
}

Thank you.

I added x86_64. I did not bump the version since there is not point in making anyone recompile.

Please add x86_64 to arch. It works nicely.

I adopted and updated the package.

Hi!
I've updated the package, since the old one didn't compile on my system and was outdated. Here's the new PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: shamrok <szamrok@gmail.com>

pkgname=kgmailnotifier
pkgver=0.5.0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Gmail notifier applet for KDE"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

license=('GPL')
depends=('kdebase-runtime')

md5sums=('18b0651fbfc6ee50742c7229d3f2b0d2')

build() {
cd "$srcdir/kgmailnotifier-$pkgver"
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$pkgdir/usr" .
make || return 1
make install
}

Yeah xiong.chiamiov, to confirm this does need arts. Best to find another program probably as this hasn't been updated in quite a while.

Building gives this error:

checking for mcopidl... not found
configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use
--without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove functionality).

Adding said flag to the configure line skips arts support, which I suppose eliminates the notification sounds, but that's fine with me. If I get around to it, I'll figure out what package is needed as a dependency and add it. The problem seems to be that arts is gone with KDE4.

I'm a noob so sorry if I've missed something. I would have thought this should depend on make, autoconf and automake for compilation. These were not raised as missing dependancies...

Changelog:
Changelog from 0.4.0-rc1 to 0.4.0-rc2:
* Removed a string from the popup window to give translations that need it more space
* Changed popup window to stay open while it has mouse focus (thanks to Joakim Andersson for the tip)
* Changed popup window to show name of the sender (if available) instead of email address
* Fixed more compilation errors on gcc-4.3
* Fixed a configuration handling problem for the 'Don't ask again' prompts on quit
* Fixed a small typo in the configuration dialog
* Some code cleaning

Changelog from 0.4.0-beta2 to 0.4.0-rc1:
* Changed application type to KUniqueApplication (meaning that only one instance of KGmailNotifier can run at a time)
* Improved autostart behavior
* Improved configuration dialog layout and appearance
* Fixed limits for popup window offsets
* Fixed a KWallet integration bug that caused KGailNotifier to freeze on startup
* Fixed compilation problems with gcc-4.3
* Updated build system to automake-1.10
* Improved configuration handling
* Fixed .desktop file and menu integration
* Various code improvements

Added x86_64 to arch.

Because program is completely rewritten in C++ and I use only 32bit arch, and thus cannot confirm if it works under 64bits.

Why 'x86_64' has been removed from arch=() array? It still works...

Updated to 0.4.0beta2

Changelog from 0.4.0-beta1 to 0.4.0-beta2:
* Fixed a bad crash on startup when no username or password have been set
* Added a few more translations

Changelog from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0-beta1:
* Completely rewritten the app in C++
* Checking mail is now handled through KDE's own kio libraries, allowing for asynchroneous connection and download. KGmailNotifier should now work through proxies too.
* Configuration dialog redone
* Added some new options (enable/disable popup window, display number of messages on system tray, ...)
* Added KWallet integration
* Added basic Xinerama support
* Added "Silent notification" option to context menu. You can now quickly disable popup window and sound (practical for presentations or when watching movies)
* Many internal improvements

Arch package "pykde" depends on "pyqt" which is for qt4, pyqt3 is for qt3.
I've added pyqt3 to dependencies list, but pykde will download pyqt (for qt4) also.

Error after qt repo changes. I'm using kdemod.

Message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/kde/share/apps/kgmailnotifier/kgmailnotifier.py", line 30, in <module>
from kdecore import KApplication, KAboutData, KCmdLineArgs, KProcess, KAudioPlayer, KLocale
ImportError: No module named qt

Added x86_64 to arch.

It works perfectly on Arch64. Feel free to add 'x86_64' to the arch=() array.

Changelog from 0.3.0 to 0.3.1:
* Fixed an encoding bug when username or password contain special characters
* Added more languages

Pretty useful application, thanks for info bardo :)

For the next release (not urgent) check your desktop file with desktop-file-validate (if you don't have it you can get it installing the desktop-file-utils package).

Changelog from 0.3.0-beta2 to 0.3.0:
* Added more languages

Included translations.
chicha thanks for info about it.

Hi

There is a mistake in the PKGBUILD, you forgot the langsrc file which contains the translations :

Maybe you could change the line :

install -m 755 *.py $startdir/pkg/opt/kde/share/apps/$pkgname/

By :

install -m 755 *.py langsrc $startdir/pkg/opt/kde/share/apps/$pkgname/

I hope it helped.
Cheers,
Chicha

Changelog from 0.3.0-beta1 to 0.3.0-beta2:
* Added more languages
* Slightly reduced lag of popup window on new mail with sound enabled
* Some small improvements

Changelog from 0.2.4 to 0.3.0-beta1:
* Added i18n support
* Added connection timeout
* Fixed the crash on exit (hopefully)
* Some internal improvements

Hi all,

There is an issue with this software which make it SIGSEV at closure :-(

You can follow the problem on the package\'s homepage : http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KGmailNotifier?content=55375

I am sure it is going to be fixed soon :-)
Thank you for having packaged this nice tool, anyway !

Changelog from 0.2.3 to 0.2.4:
* Added option for selecting popup direction
* Fixed a possible password decryption bug
* Other minor bugfixes

\"install -D -m\" can\'t be used while coping multiple files at once, right?
e.g install -D -m 644 *.png /foo/bar/

You can safely use

install -D -m[perm] file dir

and delete

install -d dir
install -m[perm] file dir

Remember it for newer release.

Changelog from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3:
* Added password encryption using pyDes

Changelog:
Changelog from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2:
* Fixed compatibility with older PyKDE versions

Changelog from 0.2 to 0.2.1:
* Fixed icon paths


PKGBUILD:
changed installation path (/opt/kde/share/apps/kgmailnotifier/)

KGmailNotifier is a gmail notifier applet written for KDE using Python and PyQt/PyKDE. It\'s greatly inspired by the gmail notifier that can be found here: http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net.
