Source code for Gramps Genealogical program
975f4dc118
Check and Repair tool - new check source and citation reference function, with extensive changes from previous (temporary) check citation references function, - low level in-table duplicate handle check removed as this is superfluous because the main database tables do not use the DB_DUP flag, - Progress meter added for cross table duplicate checking and fixed for all checks, - diagnostic prints added for all checks to indicate success, and for many to indicate details of failures detected. These prints could be simply changed to Log messages if necessary. Comments added to show how checks relate to Test Case Generator test data, - order of checks revised so empty objects are removed first, - fix_encoding of media paths and descriptions modified to remove invalid characters (see change to Utils), - check and remove empty citations added. repo.py remove_citation_references added to fix removal of citations on addresses in Repository records. Utils.py fix_encoding modified to add an option to ignore characters that can't be unicode encoded. TestCaseGenerator - generate families extended to generate family events, - options dialogue updated to reflect available features and to make it clearer, - block transactions options removed as they were by-passed in the code. - progress meter updated to use current function, and to properly update for all options, - signal testing code (that wasn't functional anyway) removed, - tag generating code called when it needed to be, - data error generating code broken up into functions to reflect the functions in the Check and Repair tool that they are designed to test, - various test data functions added for testing cross table duplicates, media encoding errors, missing photos, control characters in notes, empty objects, source and citation references and a few missing broken family links tests, - some fixes for some test cases (check events, person events were marked as birth events) - fix random text so tags don't contain invalid characters and add a styled text option, - ensure that some citations are shared, - remove old redundant commit_transaction function, - media linked to pictures that exist in the Gramps code so that they don't appear as missing images. svn: r18713 |

Requirements
--------------------------------
The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
Python 2.6 or greater
PyGTK2 2.16 or greater
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
xdg-utils
The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
to your language:
language-pack-gnome-xx
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with
xx your language code eg for Dutch you need
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
Gramps strings is included with the source code.
The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.3_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
The package is named osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map
or python-osmgpsmap. Or obtain it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
Without this no beautiful graphs can be created.
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org
pyexiv2 Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
media. Gramps needs version 0.1.3 or greater.
Obtain it from: http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html
The following packages are optional
python gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes, gtkspell contains the
libraries.
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports
PyWebKitGtk or python-gtkmozembed:
The hidden view 'Htmlview' allows websites to be opened in
Gramps. Users can unhide the view in the plugin manager.
A html renderer must be installed to use the view.
!! PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution
webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch
src/plugins/view/htmlrenderer.py and
src/plugins/view/geoview.gpr.py, so as to remove:
import webkit
Then use the gecko package (python-gtkmozembed) instead.
If WEBKIT ang GECKO are installed, webkit will be used as
the javascript engine is faster (google maps).
* PyWebKitGtk
Enable html rendering for the Web view. Often called
python-webkit package. Be careful, webkit is always in a
development phase.
* python-gtkmozembed
Enable html rendering for the Web view in case PyWebKitGtk
is not available or to be used if webkit is unstable.
It can be in python-gnome2-extras or python-gtkhtml2
depending on distributions.
No longer needed in 3.3:
python-enchant Enchant
No longer needed in 3.2:
python glade bindings
No longer needed in 3.1:
yelp Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped
Documentation
---------------------------------
The User Manual is now maintained on the gramps website,
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_manual
We might in the future distribute again a manual via gnome-doc-utils, this has not
been decided yet though.
Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
--------------------------------------------------------
If make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead.
You might need a patch also. FreeBSD has in ports a patch ( /usr/ports/science/gramps/files)
you need to apply to po/Makefile.in.in
