we're using mozplugger and <embed> to get applications embedded for now
but we can't handle popup window, quit from applications or
application started by xterm
we need a way to listen CreateNotify / DestroyNotify event
and only window manager can do that!

Here's my plan:

write a window manager using xcb, do nothing but a) open web browser in fullscreen, and b) send dbus signal through dbus-javascript bridge to the browser while getting MapRequest event
when the browser get that signal, add an <embed> tag with an id of the window id, and reparent it
while the window manager get DestroyNotify event, remove that
corresponding <embed> tag

So we can solve this once and for all!

I've done about 50% of the window manager (haven't named it yet, any idea?), and 80% of the "touchweb" browser (based on webkit and javascript dbus bridge), we might eventually need our own NPAPI plugger (could be a stripped down version of mozplugger)

That's for now. Stay tuned.

Notes on Chromium OS for ARM

各位新年快樂! ULLab 的團隊成員除了在年假中加緊趕工, 為 xPUD 新版本加入平板模式 (tablet mode) 的支援外, 也「嘴巴說不要、身體卻很誠實」地接了一些 Chrome OS 的客製化案子.

如同之前提到的, 第一版的 Chrome OS 建置方式著實有點虛弱, 無法滿足不同平台或是未來實做各項功能的需求, 因此我們可以發現 Google 動作很快的提出了一些改進, 改用了一套新的 build system, 主要有兩個特點:

採用 Gentoo Linux 的 portage 作為套件管理/編譯系統
目前只支援 64 位元的平台

我們比較關注的 ebuild 目前都放在 ~/trunk/src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos-base/ 底下, 若是熟悉 Gentoo 的話照著文件也可以輕易上手.

寫給自己的一些骯髒溫馨小提示:

為了略過一些套件或修正編譯問題, 改完 ebuild 以後要重新產生 Manifest, 如 ebuild ~/trunk/src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome-bin/chromeos-chrome-bin-0.0.1-r1.ebuild manifest
若有自己重打包原始碼放在 /var/lib/portage/distfiles/, 要重算 du -b, rmd160 -x, sha1sum 和 sha256sum. (太髒了不推薦 XD)

另外有別於一般的 chromium 瀏覽器, 我們需要的是 "chromeos" 版的 (這樣才有左上角的 Panel), 在取得原始碼後:

於 .gclient 中加入:

{ "name"        : "cros_deps",
   "url"         : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/cros_deps",
 } ,

設定 GYP_DEFINES=chromeos=1
執行 gclient sync --deps="unix,chromeos"

其他的部份可參考文件 Building Chromium for ARM 和 Build instructions for Linux.
