[arch-general] [signoff] wicd-1.7.0-1
Hi, there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in [testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs. Big changelog: 1.7.0: Changes for Packagers: - Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not be run on a restart of the daemon. - The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective components. - The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run wicd-curses if there is no X session available. Major Changes: - Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon - Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients - urwid 0.9.9 is now supported - Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts - Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network Minor Changes: - Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client - Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm - ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly - All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed - Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks - Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI - Marked ioctl backend not supported - Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script Daniel

Starting up and connection works fine for me. However I cannot see the icon in the KDE network menu. Also running "desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/wicd.desktop" gives a few errors. But these are just cosmetics, application works fine for me on i686. Regards, Jaroslav -- Männer können trinken, ohne Durst zu haben, Frauen können reden, ohne ein Thema zu haben.

wicd-curses only runs fine if I am using it in xterm or terminal in a X session, it doesn't work in a tty. I don't know if this is the expected behavior, it outputs this: EXCEPTION!

Everything else seems to be working properly.
