Description T OCallaghan 2012-03-30 12:43:28 UTC 
found in poky/1.2_M4 (da6233e).

When trying to run hob from a freshly checked out poky, i get:

Comment 1 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2012-03-30 16:16:03 UTC 
Can you tell us which versions of gtk+ and pygtk are shipped with CentOS 6.2?

That specific method was new in Pygtk 2.22 but I'm certain there will be other areas where we are using "too new" API.
Comment 2 T OCallaghan 2012-04-02 06:53:07 UTC 
Can i suggest that you add a command line option to hob "--for-bug-report" or similar, that will generate the kind of information you need for things like this. including what versions of API's are available etc.

I'm assuming this is what you want to know:

$ python --version
Python 2.6.6
$ gtk-config --version
1.2.10
Comment 3 Shane Wang 2012-04-04 11:58:29 UTC 
Josh has some updates on Hob running on CentOS

> Josh has some updates on Hob running on CentOS

I've not had chance to do anything with CentOS 6.x yet, I've been looking at the state of things on CentOS 5.x.

It's my intention to look at CentOS 6.x shortly.
Comment 6 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2012-04-04 22:03:13 UTC 
I need to set up a CentOS 6.x VM and determine the required version of PyGTK then ensure we aren't using API which isn't provided in that version.

Estimate 2 days development and 3 days for submission, review and merge.
