[PATCH 0/1] Error gracefully on systems which don't support Hob

[PATCH 0/1] Error gracefully on systems which don't support Hob

[Joshua Lock]

Hob requires pygtk 2.22 or later and systems without that will see a Python 
backtrace. 
This small change tests whether pygtk is installed and tests which version of it
is available and prints an error if pytgtk is missing or too low a version.

Cheers,
Joshua

[PATCH 1/1] lib/bb/ui/hob: exit cleanly if the required pygtk version isn't available

[Joshua Lock]

Hob uses API from pygtk 2.22, therefore check to see whether this
version is available and exit cleanly if not.

I have a more informative version of this patch which I'll submit shortly.

Apparently Belen and Giulia have been doing their hob testing on an F15 
machine (fully up-to-date) and it was working OK, now it is blocked by this 
check - the version of PyGTK+ on there is 2.17.

Is that intended/desirable?

Cheers,
Paul

Not at all, we're definitely using method calls which the API docs tell 
me are only available in pygtk 2.22 or newer... I guess this isn't the case.

It's beginning to look like the API is from Gtk+ 2.22 but that pygtk 
fell out of sync for version numbers, I'll change the check to test the 
Gtk+ version.

FYI the goal is to lower the required API to Gtk+ 2.18.x and pygtk 
2.16.x as are shipped with CentOS 6.

Cheers,
Joshua
