Description Deyan Damyanov 2011-09-06 16:16:04 CEST
Description of problem:

I would be very glad to see the following packages available soon:
xdotool
Right now I'm using package from the Mandriva repositories, but don't like
that solution.
Anyway it is working fine, so I don't think porting will be hard (I'm ready
to help if possible).

How reproducible:

Just install vanilla Mageia 1 without adding third party software.

Are we waiting for backports or can we close this request?

@ Kamil

Thanks a lot for your question, I thought our maintainer would be too busy with more urgent things, but I don't know for sure, so I'll assign to him, he is free to assign back to us.

IIUC, for Mga 1 the idea was that all Mdv packages could be requested to go into Mga1. Due to a lack of packagers, a lot of those requests just sit here in Bugzilla and nothing happens. I saw sometimes a package does get packed for cauldron, and then the packager has other priorities then packaging it for Mga 1, too.

I'm starting to put "Mdv" on the whiteboard for packages that are in Mandriva, and to put "cauldron" there when such a package is in cauldron.

So we are not waiting for backports for packages that are in Mdv 2010.x, and this request is valid as it.

I will review it, do some basic QA and ask to push with updates.
Comment 6 Kamil Rytarowski 2011-11-26 05:53:49 CET
xdotool is imported into 1/updates.

It will be soon in the updates testing.
Comment 7 Remco Rijnders 2011-11-26 06:49:18 CET
Hi Kamil,

Don't forget to reassign the bug to qa-bugs@ml.mageia.org once the package is available in updates_testing. Without assigning it to QA, the package won't make it through to the proper updates repository.

Thanks for your work on this!
Comment 8 Kamil Rytarowski 2011-11-28 16:01:25 CET
The package is pushed successfully into 1/updates_testing

Test script for xdotool

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
xdotool-2.20110530.1-2.mga1.src.rpm

For testing, I opened two konsole windows (neither of which were
maximized) and used the attached script to resize them.
Comment 10 Derek Jennings 2011-12-01 14:01:38 CET
Confirmed validated on x86_64 
Could someone from sysadmin please push xdotool-2.20110530.1-2.mga1.src.rpm from Updates_Testing to Updates

Advisory
-------
This update adds xdotool which was present in Mandriva 2010.2, but not present in Mageia 1.
