Add conky-gtk_lua petbuild and use it in Jammy64.

[lakshayrohila]

This is a slight modified version of the conky-gtk_lua I posted here, in form of a petbuild.

Tested and works in Jammy64.

@dimkr, @peabee please review.

Seems OK to me as it is an optional petbuild which is only activated for JammyPup64 and has been fully tested in that environment.....

[lakshayrohila]

Sorry, the last commit was wrong branch. I have reverted that commit.

This conky-gtk version is incompatible with the previous version. So, IMHO, adding this into older repos also containing the older conky-gtk will be a confusion (although if one is created for Jammy64, we can still add it to there).

Also, the requirements for this version is a conky with lua support, which I don't know in which conky version was introduced.

EDIT: conky from Fossa64 can use this update.

@peabee, I've also created a pet package for this package, which I suppose @techrockedge already has included in his F96-CE_4. Just that there are some additional changes here which currently the pet version doesn't has, which I'll update tomorrow.

IMO, it would be better to include this as a petbuild in woof-CE should be great (due to the reasons same as https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/4242#issuecomment-1948264522); and due to the reasons that this petbuild a somewhat large and useful script, which will be easier to manage in woof-CE directly.

My proposal: Newer builds (such as Jammy64) can make use of the petbuild version. For the systems already built, I am providing the pet variant as well :+1:.

Your opinions?

[lakshayrohila]

@peabee, if you're not busy, I'd love that you respond to this PR.

If petbuilds is the wrong format, please inform me; I'll try to get that PET added and open a PR for that instead.

I also want to create a PR for dunst-config, and will follow the same format for the PR (petbuild/PET) which will be accepted in this PR.

Thanks :smiley:!

Please consider whether one of the Ubuntu Jammy packages can meet your requirements: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=conky conky-all_1.12.2-1_amd64.deb highly configurable system monitor (all features enabled) conky-cli_1.12.2-1_amd64.deb highly configurable system monitor (basic version) conky-std_1.12.2-1_amd64.deb highly configurable system monitor (default version)

If you need to tailor them specifically for JammyPup64, this can be done in: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/blob/ee0f0f02884b4a215033f4c63de40024aa7dcc1c/woof-distro/x86_64/ubuntu/jammy64/_00build.conf#L148

@peabee, I have already added the conky-std one in this PR. This PR adds conky-gtk_lua, which is an application to edit conky's config.

---

EDIT: Obviously, conky-std is added as a dependency of this program, since this program is just there for configuration of conky settings by the users.

The original version of this program was conky-gtk, whose source I got from Fossapup64.

This new version adds support for the newer Lua syntax for conky (and drops for the older one).

[peabee]

I have downloaded and examined https://forum.puppylinux.com/download/file.php?id=21802 There appears to be no compiled binary in the .pet so it is therefore suitable to be supplied as a .pet The "source" is in the .pet. Please provide a .pet with a name that describes its reason - perhaps conky_gtk_2024-2.0.pet I will then upload it to: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-jammy64/ and add it to: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/blob/testing/woof-distro/x86_64/ubuntu/Packages-puppy-tahr64-official

@peabee, I've started this thread for this conky-gtk version: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10679.

The pet is located on the page. The only problem is that the name I use for this application in pet.specs is Conky-GTK_lua-1.0 (lua meaning it is compatible with the lua format of conky), but the pet archive's name differs from that. Is that a problem?

I think I'll just rebuild the archive with my latest edits just to be sure that that pet version doesn't miss any new changes. I'll inform you when I finish that.

[lakshayrohila]

@peabee, I have rebuilt the archive. Here it is:

Conky_GTK-lua_1.0.pet.fake.gz

(Remove the .fake.gz)

I have also renamed the application name & version in pet.specs to the format recommended by dir2pet (name-version).

[lakshayrohila]

@peabee, Please add this https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-jammy64/ and I'll create a new PR adding it.

Closing this PR.

Yes - that makes the .pet invalid - the pet.specs must exactly match the .pet name

Thanks for the information! Already fixed that in the newer pet archive :+1:

[lakshayrohila]

@peabee, I see you've added https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-jammy64/Conky_GTK_2024-2.0.pet. I suppose you must have also changed the pet.specs, right? Because the name I put in this pet.specs file was Conky_GTK-lua_1.0.
