Strange troubles setting up MiniMe packaging environment

[sling-shot]

Setting up from the MiniMe as recommended but cannot get "Build All, Create log file" to work. Nothing happens.
Just "Build All" works though.

I have successfully set up a packaging environ based on KDE regular iso though on another partition.

Hi Sling-Shot,

are you using pkgutils-thunar? If so, what version of pkgutils are you using?

In case you use thunar, you can check the command that is called when right-clicking on a spec file,

the servicemenu editor is somewhere in the thunar menu (I have a danish system here, can't remember the english menuname),

cheers,
MBantz

No. It is pkgutils KDE.

Since "Build All" opens a Konsole window you can just do a File->Save Output As ...    

It is probably not working because xterm is not installed by default on MiniMe IIRC.

You are indeed correct. That was exactly what was missing.
Now the "Build All, Create logfile" option works fine.

I see that it is only about 600 kB in size and comes with no attachments (it does not pull any other package and when trying to remove does not remove anything else). So why not consider including it in our MiniMe? Since MiniMe is recommended as the base for a packaging setup and without it pkgutils will appear broken?

Strictly speaking, if pkgutils-kde needs it then pkgutils-kde should install it as a dependency  
MiniMe users who are not packagers might take to the streets in protest at that loss of 600kB

What an absurd scenario
May be those LFS people but not MiniMe's

pkgutils-kde is supposed to call up konsole for Build All and Build All, Create log file instead of calling for xterm. It does on my system.

From pkgutils-kde4-0.1.6-3pclos2012 (32 bit repo):

pclos-pkgutils-all.spec:

[Desktop Action buildallnlog]
Name=Build all, Create logfile
Name[da]=Byg alt, med logfil
Exec=spec_buildnlog %F
#Exec=xterm %{xtermopt} -e "rpmbuild -ba %F 2>&1 | tee %F.log"
Icon=application-x-rpm
EOF

spec_buildnlog:

#!/bin/bash
#

# verbose output for debugging
#set -xv;


for item in $@; do
  if [ -e $item ]; then
#    workin_dir=$(`dirname $item`)
    log_file=${item}.log
    xterm -hold +sb -geometry 120x40 -bg gray28 -fg grey94 -fn *-fixed-*-*-*-20-* -e "rpmbuild -ba $item 2>&1 | tee $item.log"
  fi
done

EDIT:
Checked pkgutils-kde4-0.1.6-8pclos2012 in 64 bit repo and it is the same.

  Strange. Every time I use dolphin instead of thunar, konsole is opened.
