Pastie 0.6.7

I’ve uploaded the 0.6.7 version of pastie to the PPA. It adds the ability to save the contents of the primary selection in the selection, and also to synchronize it with the regular clipboard selection.

The GConf schemas should install cleanly now. 0.6.5 had a bug where pastie wouldn’t start until after the schemas were actually registered. I hope that doesn’t happen anymore. It’s quite a bummer if after updating the program you want to use won’t start.

Also, I’ve implemented the basis for supporting KeePassX’s feature that deletes the passwords copied to the clipboard after a configurable time. It needs a patch in KeePassX code (I’ve tested this only in 0.4.3, from the ubuntu 10.10 repos), so this won’t work for everyone. If you need this, you should run the following in a terminal:

mkdir keepassx-build && cd keepassx-build
apt-get source keepassx
cd keepassx-0.4.3/src/lib/
wget http://github.com/downloads/fmoralesc/pastie/EntryView.diff
patch -R EntryView.cpp EntryView.diff
cd ../..
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make
sudo make install

You might need to uninstall keepassx before doing this if you already have it. If you prefer to build a deb package, you should change the last line for

sudo checkinstall make install

(I’ve tested it and it works fine; the launchers won’t get installed, though).

If you prefer to check what’s changed with this patch, please see the diff file
