Télécharger Booh

Sur Mandriva

Si vous utilisez une Mandriva récente (2008 ou plus récent), la commande suivante devrait fonctionner directement :

% urpmi http://booh.org/packages/booh-0.9.1-0.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.1/i586/media/main/release/libexpat0-1.95.8-4mdv2007.1.i586.rpm

Pour les Mandriva 2006 à 2007.1, essayez :

% urpmi http://booh.org/packages/booh-0.9.1-0.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm http://booh.org/packages/libexiv2_2-0.16-2.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm

Sur Debian/Ubuntu

Packages Debian/Ubuntu grâce à Odie :

1. mettez un fichier booh.list dans /etc/apt/sources.list.d avec comme contenu :

   deb http://booh.org/packages/debian/hardy/ ./
   deb-src http://booh.org/packages/debian/hardy/ ./
   

   les versions suivantes sont supportées : gutsy, feisty, hardy, et etch ; changez uniquement "hardy" par votre version dans les deux lignes ci-dessus.
2. faites sudo apt-get update
3. faites sudo apt-get install booh

Sur Gentoo

Si vous utilisez une Gentoo, il y a un ebuild dans portage (pour x86 and ppc uniquement) grâce à Dams, vous pouvez donc faire simplement emerge booh.

Mises en garde de compatibilité

• ruby-gtk2 0.15.0 provoque des plantages et devrait être évité ; il n'y a pas de patch connu (les versions de ruby-gtk2 patchées dans les distros n'incluent pas de patch pour ces plantages, à ce que j'ai pu voir), vous devez absolument rétrograder en 0.14.1 ou mettre à jour en 0.16.0.
  
  
• ruby-gtk2 0.17.0 a une sérieuse fuite mémoire et devrait être évité ; vous devez absolument rétrograder en 0.16.0 (si vous utilisez ruby < 1.8.7) ou mettre à jour en 0.18.0.
  
  
• utiliser ruby >= 1.8.7 avec ruby-gtk2 < 0.17.0 provoque des plantages (avec le message "[BUG] object allocation during garbage collection phase" sur la console), vous devez absolument rétrograder en ruby <= 1.8.6 ou mettre à jour en ruby-gtk2 >= 0.18.0.

Historique

Voici les changements importants de chaque version (regardez ChangeLog dans le source pour les détails) :

Ils sont fournis en anglais seulement car il y a beaucoup de choses fastidieuses à traduire ici, et cette traduction ne parait pas indispensable.

• 2008-06-20: 0.9.1: bug fixes
  
  
  • work properly with ruby-1.8.7 (tempfile library behaviour changed)
  • fix "original size" broken while generating web-album
  • other various small fixes

• 2008-05-26: 0.9.0: booh-classifier and a few other nice features
  
  
  • add a new tool, booh-classifer, dedicated to classify photos and videos prior to using main booh for web-album creation
  • for videos thumbnailing, use mplayer instead of transcode, it seems faster (when seeking) and more reliable (transcode often generates a green fake picture instead of a proper thumbnail)
  • don't produce broken javascript when original size is selected
  • Esperanto language added
  • allow simple and double quotes in made-with and index links
  • use exiv2 for getting the EXIF orientation tag, it is so much faster than identify; on a typical booh-backend usecase, 20% performance improvement is expected; also use it for sorting on EXIF dates
  • workaround the crash when undoing a picture/video removal
  • in web-albums, preloading images should be faster (better use of available bandwidth)
  • themes may share javascript and CSS between all pages, to save bandwidth, thanks to Jean-Michel Schelcher
  • use exiv2 to save EXIF orientation tag when rotating images in booh-classifier and in Booh (it's particularly useful when using booh-classifier then booh)
  • potentially fix remaining rare aborts triggered in REXML (by synchronizing modifications of the XML document from other Threads)
  • new converter from Marginal Hacks Album contributed by Stéphane Fillod
  • as we are already at 4 breakages due to REXML problems, and the 4th one is worse because we are now facing slight behavioral changes between Ruby subsubreleases, internalize a working version of REXML in order to forget about it
  • [Fif feature] multi-languages support for web-album navigation, using Apache MultiViews
  • optionally transcode videos - potentially saves a lot of disk space, as videos created by digital cameras are not well compressed
  • new DarkSlateGray-powered theme: "cardu"

• 2006-05-01: 0.8.6:
  
  
  • [Till feature] add ability to split thumbnails on several pages
  • [Pixel feature] be fully compatible with browsers with no javascript support
  • generate a .htaccess file specifying the UTF-8 charset to try to workaround badly configured apache servers
  • [Benny feature] we can choose the best images size automatically with the browser window size instead of using the default (medium) size
  • change CSS code so that image border color should now work in MSIE as well
  • [RGS feature] don't do javascript key shortcuts when modifiers are pressed (control, alt, shift); this should avoid overriding usual keyboard shortcuts to move back and forth in history
  • [Coni feature] add gamma correction
  • [Coni feature] allow to have a link in pages to return back to user's homepage
  • [GUI] allow to edit images externally with gimp
  • [Fif "feature"] hopefully fix remaining potential aborts due to missing/wrong thread synchronization
  • [Guillomovitch feature] allow to specify an arbitrary format for comments of new images - including EXIF stuff
  • [Milka feature] correct "blinking" of background in "dark" theme by fixing its position
  • Dramatically improve HTML generating speed: on a p4 2.8GHz, regenerating a typical album for a small comments change goes down from 28.5 secs to 5.0 secs

  Warnings applicable to 0.8.6 and older:

  • Ruby 1.8.4 has a severe bug (actually, the REXML library shipped with Ruby): accented characters in comments will get trashed when saving your album; try ruby-rexml-sanity-check.rb to see if you're affected; if you're affected, you may have a look at the message on the list with a patch
  • Ruby 1.8.6 has a severe bug (actually, the REXML library shipped with Ruby): XML special characters in comments will get trashed when saving your album; try ruby-rexml-sanity-check.rb to see if you're affected; if you're affected, you may have a look at the message on the list with a patch
  • In Ruby 1.8.6, there is a change in the XML parser strictness, which will cause aborts on Booh; you may have a look at the message on the list with a patch
  • Ruby 1.8.6-p111 has a severe bug in the REXML library, don't use this version. You're at risk to crashing Booh or trashing some of your content.

• 2005-12-29: 0.8.5:
  
  
  • [GUI] allow to remove a subalbum directly in the treeview
  • [GUI] add ability to restore deleted images/videos/subalbums
  • [GUI] allow to sort pictures by EXIF date

  • [guillomovitch feature] [GUI] have "view" of images/videos available in popup menu as well
