Hi Aq,

I finally got round to polishing up my code for a more complete Nautilus SVN integration ,and have packaged it up on my site (http://jasonfield.com/freebies/).

It adds a load a of menu items to do common useful things like check in/out, diff, log etc., and also now updates the menu items correctly as their state changes over time. I’d have never got round to it if I hadn’t seen this post, so thanks for the original script! :)

Cheers,

Jason

I already posted that (September 28th, 8:40am):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so

I found out by looking a bit harder at the error message, part of it read:

Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: g_module_open libpython failed: libpython2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Like I said: “He, who can read…” :)

I think I’m going to edit the icons, though. I find it kind of hard to make out differences or recognize, which icon is for which status.

volker: what was the missing link? It could do with being listed here so other people can make it work :)

Sweet dancing Jehova! I DID IT!!!

There was no use to rename the icons in your script after all!

Seems like there was only one missing symbolic link.

Thanks for your patience and all your help. Gotta go back to work now! ;)

I just managed to get the digest-property-page.py script to run. I first didn’t noticed, but it added another tab to the “property” dialogue of a file. He who can read is clearly in advance. ;)

Still no icons, but getting closer, I guess.

I managed to get rid of the python-related error messages when starting nautilus with the TMPDIR directive by adding a symbolic link (sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so), but with the German Umlaute (ä, ü) in the emblem-titles the script failed again. I tried the thing with “emblem-cvs-controlled” (the filenames of the icons in /usr/share/icons/gnome/48×48/emblems/) but no luck with that either. But I think it was a step in the right direction.

The TMPDIR problem will be solved by a reboot, because then your main “system” Nautilus will be using the extension (rather than you running a separate Nautilus that has the extension and your main system one not having it). However, that means rebooting to test stuff, which is really annoying.

http://www.gnome.org/~gjc/digest-property-page.py is a simple Nautilus extension; give that a try?

I can’t get any information in German help forums about “python extensions”, seems like nobody ever uses that. Also it’s like there is no one in need of a Tortoise-like interface to Subversion, guess they all use rapidSVN or some other client. Bummer.

Anywho, I tried to get another python extension, but I can’t find any. The only one I did find was a smbmount script, but guess what? It doesn’t want to work. Maybe that is because of me not using it correctly (like I said, there was no folder “python-extensions” after the installation of python-subversion and so on). I’m using Dapper 6.06.01 with all updates.

And for the TMPDIR story: Wouldn’t that be solved by a reboot? I mean if it doesn’t work right away at least a reboot should do the trick, right?
