about Linux app about boostnote-legacy

[Rokt33r]

Everything seems to be going well. I'll publish Linux app on UAR, PPA on this weekend.

• App will quit on Main window closing or Ctrl + Q
• Finder disabled(this feature will come back after v0.6.*)

[gromain]

As for their comment, here is a changed PKGBUILD, with empty fields removed, addition of -bin to make sure the use of the upstream binary is clear and use of $pkgver:

# Maintainer: Dick Choi <[email protected]>
# Contributor: Romain Bazile <[email protected]>
pkgname=boostnote-bin
pkgver=0.5.9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Opensource note app for developer"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://b00st.io/"
license=('GPL')

source=(
  "https://github.com/BoostIO/boost-releases/releases/download/v$pkgver/boost_$pkgver_amd64.deb"
  )

md5sums=('df56bf3167dddb3eb2e1b263c65e61ba')

package() {
      tar -xa -f ${srcdir}/data.tar.xz
      cp -r "${srcdir}/usr" "${pkgdir}/usr"
}

Great news :)

[Rokt33r]

@lucaskatayama
Thanks! I'll cover it also.

[gromain]

@Rokt33r, sure, please do! Thanks a lot!

[fernandofreamundenl]

Thanks for the input, I'm looking forward to use v0.6 then.

About being Japanese, it is not the Japanese outside that counts it the one in your heart xD
And you live in Japan and that is Awesome :D

[brpaz]

@Rokt33r sure. you can add me as contributor.
I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon and finder seems to work fine before it was removed. but I haven't it much.

[asmsuechan]

@the-mcnaveen Awesome! Thank you so much 😄

[mcnaveen]

I think I should remove Finder and Tray on all of Linux for awhile.

1. libappindicator1 is required to show Tray icon on several Desktop environments.

• Xfce doesn't need to install it.
• Unity seems to be needed to install it.

2. The method, app.focus(), seems to be broken on Linux.

• Xfce : app is not be focused although it comes top of screen.
• Ubuntu : it doesn't work well after it called several times.

Btw, I think these features are not so important.
So, I will implement it one by one after v0.6.* released and become stable.

[Rokt33r]

@lucaskatayama
Could you tell me which desktop environment you are using?

[lucaskatayama]

I'm usign Gnome 3.18
Arch linux

[gromain]

Yay!

[Rokt33r]

I'm really sorry for being late... It is because of my poor English skill...

@gromain
I pushed it to git+ssh://[email protected]/boostnote.git, but I realized I forgot to change the name of binary. I'll reupload it again.

And, I can't find my package from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?SeB=m&K=rokt33r
How much it takes to be published? I confirmed my pushing finished successfully.

Btw, these are the files I submitted.

Hmm... I'm reading Arch wiki again and again.
Should I provide the installing instruction like below for Arch user?

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/boostnote.git
cd boostnote
makepkg -si

[Rokt33r]

I've just fixed most of problems. App seems to be installed successfully with the shell script above.
But, I still don't know how can I show my app on AUR packages page.

[Rokt33r]

I ask about this problem on Arch forum. It was because the submitted .SRCINFO file was invalid..
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1619904#p1619904

Eventually, my app shows up. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/boostnote/
But, I think I have to make my PKGBLD build the app from scratch.

[gromain]

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I was away!
I'm glad to see you got it working!

Pacman even made the update automatically this morning! ;-) This is super great!

[Rokt33r]

I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you again. I'll update it soon. Haha

[brpaz]

finder is a very important feature for me. Hope to see it re-enabled soon :)

[Rokt33r]

@brpaz
Yes, I'll. But, It needs to be hacked on my own.
electron/electron#5011

Btw, Which desktop environment you use?

[Rokt33r]

@gromain @brpaz To honor your efforts, I want to add your name as contributors to readme.md and package.json.
Is it okay to do that?

[fernandofreamundenl]

Hey @Rokt33r I dont know where to place this question so I'm asking it here, the question is, will we be able to sync notes between devices?

I'm asking this because I use a different computer for work(mac) and at home where I also do some development I use a Linux distro(it changes from time to time :) )

so if you have an official way of doing this it would be great if you don't, can we sync a folder with dropbox or other cloud software?

Thanks in advance, or better Domo Arigato! :)

[Rokt33r]

@fernandofreamundenl
Note will be shared by filesystem :)
It means you will be able to use your dropbox, google drive and even Github repo.
And I have a plan to support fully automatic syncing with github/bitbucket repository.
Btw, we should talk about this issue here #21

Domo Arigato! :)

Sadly, I'm not a Japanese although I'm living in Japan. LOL 😆

[Rokt33r]

@brpaz Okay, I'll add you soon. :)

About Finder, I'm sorry about that. I'd checked Finder on unity and xfce only...(both of them didn't work well)
I'll check finder on cinnamon. If it works fine, I'll enable it again when user is using cinnamon.

[Rokt33r]

@brpaz I confirmed Finder works fine on Cinnamon. So, I have to make a function to check if user is using cinnamon. It would be finished on this week. 😃

[Rokt33r]

Great! I found It can be accessed by process.env.DESKTOP_SESSION.

(Updated)
I shipped this features on master branch. It will be released with #26 on this week.

[Rokt33r]

I need some help to register Boostnote to PPA... I'd been trying to do it. but I couldn't make it.

[Rokt33r]

Ubuntu issue has been moved. #66

I wrote a Brief article about installing Boostnote in Ubuntu and Debian systems.
