Re: [Dillo-dev] Re: about feedback

by Maurice McCarthy

Indan I actually thought you were a developer! Just to add to what others have said, your efforts are certainly appreciated in this quarter. As a complete numpty in programming little things like your install script are a joy to me. Look, copy and learn. Still have not managed to install Frank's tabs patch yet but I've by no means exhausted all I can do yet, so I'm not prepared to ask for help but want to plug away at it. I'll try to get your https patch in too. I suppose email suffers from what it fails to communicate, the nod of appreciation, the look of admiration, saying please and thank you etc. Well, thank you.

Patch to allow setting of initial position

by Jan Dittmer

Hi, for a TV Terminal I needed dillo to come up at a different position than 0,0. As there is no window manager running I wrote a small patch which allows to set the initial position of the upper left corner. Essentially it just clones the geometry code and adds a config option position=<xpos>x<ypos>. If it is not set or 0x0 specified it just takes it's default position.

Re: about feedback

by Indan Zupancic

Hi, To clear up some things to avoid misunderstandings: I will continue keeping the https patch up to date, no matter what else I'll do. As there seems to be enough demand, I will update the installer once a while too. > Sometimes, it took quite some time before Jorge looked at the patches and > fixed or accepted (or rejected) them. I had zero feedback the last 3 weeks, not very motivating. Merely a short email to say that it will be looked at or that it has no priority would be appreciated, I mean, _any_ feedback is. Now it's just a black hole where you pour patches into. Don't forget that it's their program you spend time writing a patch for, but currently it feels like it's a privilege to have your patch integreted in Dillo, even expecting some feedback is asked too much for. May I come to the conclusion that I should spend my time on something else instead of wasting it on Dillo? If they aren't willing to spend 10 minutes writing a short email, why should I spend hours or even days writing and testing some Dillo patch? I don't expect the Dillo developers to just integrate my https patch or so, I wouldn't either without a lot testing and making sure it's stable, but I would expect that they give some feedback about it, I mean, it's their program, they wrote it, so I would expect that they know the code better, so could give good advice about pitfals etc. Or just simply say "no, we don't like your approach, let us keep using wget for https". But for the IO.c patch it's a different case, all it is is a cleanup of their code, naive as I am, I would expected them to want cleaner code, even if it's a small step like I made with the patch. > Anyways, that's how it works here. I got used to it. Working with one feedback per month is impossible if you want to do major IO cleanups as I want. > However, the core developers probably need to read all mails and keep track > with a whole lot more patches - therefore, even they may miss one or two > patches/suggestions. Whole lot more patches? Looking at the CVS activity then I'm not too sure. Also there is a reasonable amount of old patches for Dillo already: multiple https implementations (I only found the last one when I started on mine), UTF8 support, server/client mode, and other I can't remember/didn't found. And looking at the mailing list, they didn't get much feedback either. All those people hooked off as far as I can tell, except Frank. > So, please stay with the project ... hmmm ... some semi-serious > suggestion ;-) : do some christmas shopping, enjoy the holidays > and wait for the feedback from the developers ...:-) Christmas shopping? Need money for that I suppose. Enjoy the holidays? Have no job, so it's always holiday for me ;-). And don't know where you live, but christmas is just a commercial paradise here. > However, overall, I like the dpi idea.

True, but if I look at the default plugins they're not as easy to make as it should be. > - The concept of extra processes instead of extra code has advantages : > - with the download plugin being a seperate process you can even log > out of X while the download continues (e.g. over night on dial-up). That is true. I don't know if you noticed, but if you want to use the current download plugin, you need to start up 3 processes... First, the dpid, then the download dpi, which in turn starts wget. I'm so naive to think it could be only wget, with a simple "handle this protocol with this program with this parameters in this way" system. This way you could also startup your favourite email program when encountering mailto:, to give just one example. Don't forget that there is specific code in Dillo to handle certain plugins like the bookmark and download plugins. The plugins aren't really standalone. Sure, it's not finished yet, but the current dpi system can't solve that problem. What I would do is make a clear library plugin api, then you can implement the download and bookmark GUI in a library, and let the library start up wget. You can even implement a library plugin that handels the dpi plugins, instead of adding the code to Dillo's core as now happened (I mean moving the dpi code into a library plugin). This way you can have relative simple and small library plugins that don't do much, which let external programs like wget do the real work. Or add the features directly in the library plugin, whatever you want. > - the bookmark plugin allows for a real bookark server ! This is something > I am contemplating about : wouldn't it be cool if you could access the > same bookamrks from different machines via a sophisticated bookmark server > ? No, it doesn't. Not with the current dpi system anyway. As I said in an earlier email, the bookmark plugin should probably be a real, standalone daemon, so that it can also be used with other browser, from different pc's. It can even be hosted by some site, so that wherever you go, you can get your bookmarks :). Of course Dillo could have special support for it, so that it's easier to add bookmarks, and that it's started when it isn't running yet, but the main point is that the bookmark server won't be a dpi plugin, or can't be because you can't use unix sockets as the current dpi system uses now (which is fine for a plugin system, but not when you want to connect to non-local pc's).

I, too, sent in patches at times. Not as big as yours, some were useful, some were not. Sometimes, it took quite some time before Jorge looked at the patches and fixed or accepted (or rejected) them. The first time, I was very excited once I submitted the patch. But as time went by and I did not hear anything, I got disappointed, until I finally got feedback - life was good again ;-) ... Anyways, that's how it works here. I got used to it. Also, since Frank and you started contributing great patches, traffic went up quite a bit. I think it's ok, since I skip some threads that I'm not interested in. :-) However, the core developers probably need to read all mails and keep track with a whole lot more patches - therefore, even they may miss one or two patches/suggestions.

Hi, > I do not understand your disapointing very well and maybe because that i sound rude, excuseme then. Go read Dillo's website, go read the new developer info, go read the files in Dillo's doc dir. Then spend a reasonable amount of time coding for Dillo and cleaning up _their_ mess in IO.c. Then send a patch to the mailing list and wait one week. Let's see if you're disappointed or not. Keep in mind that CVS didn't change the last 6 days, and the last few changes were small, and also don't forget that Jorge claims that he's busy with Dillo full time. Dillo claims to have nice, modular, clean code, and then you encounter some ugly code and try to fix it... I'm afraid I sound rude sometimes too, but we're just telling what we think, right? :) Greetings, Indan

Please reconsider. I too would very much like an updated installer. And I would be really grateful if you would consider to maintain you HTTPS patch as well. I can understand you are disapointed with the lack of feed back from the official developers, but Dillo *is* a very conservative project. Look at Franks frame/tab patch - it has been around for ages and is still "just" an unofficial patch. I would be sad if you leave Dillo all together. I not only need Dillo+frames+HTTPS for myself, but as you can see from my signature, I'm involved in a linux based thin client project and a light web-mail capable web browser is a killer-app to us! And would make quite an impact on the Dillo user base too. Please reconsider.
