Subject: new upstream release (and maintainer)

Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2018 00:07:34 -0400

Package: taffybar
Version: 0.4.6-5+b2
Severity: wishlist

Upstream shared access to a new maintainer who published a new (1.0!)
release:

https://github.com/travitch/taffybar/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Discussion:

https://github.com/travitch/taffybar/issues/179

Lots of good stuff in there, including support for:

 * i3
 * multiple monitors
 * multiple batteries
 * vertical bars
 * images in workspace switcher
 * multiple NICs
 * volume widget

... and more! The thing was also ported to GTK3 which involves some
configuration changes to the rc file, replaced by a CSS file.

It would be great to see this in Debian. Any plans on doing so?

Subject: updates

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

There is yet another new version (2.0.0) which introduces, again, new
dependencies (like xml-helpers, tuple, and gtk-sni-tray).

The new version also needs a newer dbus version, which might break other
rdeps like git-annex, fdo-notify or xmobar.

One dependency that was missing was rate-limit - I asked upstream to
ship it in Stackage, but it was refused:

https://github.com/acw/rate-limit/issues/3

Clint then uploaded rate-limit in NEW, so that's solved:

https://tracker.debian.org/news/951382/accepted-haskell-rate-limit-140-1-source-amd64-all-into-unstable-unstable/

tuple seems to be in NEW as well, and Clint will upload xml-helpers.

Otherwise there's an issue open to have Taffybar part of stackage which
would simplify package updates in the future as well:

https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/issues/141

Hope moves ahead. At this point it's likely the focus will first be on
the 1.x series as there's already a bunch of new stuff there, and then
maybe 2.x can be packaged...

Whee, thanks Clint for all the work!

A.

[Context, for the list: there are new upstream releases for Taffybar, a
status bar for tiling window managers written in Haskell. Those depend
on newer GUI-related packages which, in turn, might break other related
packages. All this might depend on a GHC update as well. This email
tries to clarify where the current status is after some progress
happened upstream and I figured things are more in Debian's camp now.]

And again another version (3.0.0):

https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/blob/v3.0.0/CHANGELOG.md

This time only one (breaking) change:

 * Taffybar has replaced gtk2hs with gi-gtk everywhere. All widgets must
   now be created with gi-gtk.

Seems it should be easier to deal with than the 2.0 jump, although I am
not sure gi-gtk is packaged in Debian.. And we still need to go through
the 2.0 jump itself, of course.

Fortunately, blockers to get taffybar shipped in Stackage have been
resolved with a shiny new Xmonad 0.14 release, nothing less.

Unfortunately, we have another blocker on Debian's side now, as we're
stuck on GHC 8.2 there:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ghc

That is because GHC 8.4 fails to compile on lesser-used architectures
like ARM, MIPS or S390x... It *might* be possible to build Taffybar 3.0
with 8.2, however: there's a stack-8.2.yml file which seems to be up to
date...

I'm still unclear about how the extra dependencies play out in the new
version, unfortunately. It still seems that dbus is lagging behind -
Debian has 0.10.15-1+b1 and Taffybar's stack.yml requires 1.0.1. As
previously mention, this might break other dependencies of dbus.

Is there a way to parse a stack.yml file and figure out how it maps into
Debian package dependencies?

A.
