[Geany-Users] DevHelp

[Geoff Kaniuk]

Hello Liomar,

It is very interesting to me that you are using debian buster, as I am 
on the point of upgrading to it. I also find Devhelp very useful, and I 
note that it has been dropped from buster. I wonder what desktop 
environment you are using? (I use Mate). At the moment I am still 
running stretch, and the debug messages that Lex is asking for come from 
the menu system: Geany->Help->Debug Messages.  In my case the first 
three lines are:
========================================================================
16:51:37: Geany INFO		: Geany 1.29, en_GB.UTF-8
16:51:37: Geany INFO		: GTK 2.24.31, GLib 2.50.3
16:51:37: Geany INFO		: System data dir: /usr/share/geany
========================================================================

But what intrigues me is that debian do provide the DevHelp package at 
version 3.30, so I wonder what the plugin-devhelp offers over and above 
the debian Devhelp package. (I have it installed on the panel).

I have looked at the list of source files for devhelp in github:
https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/tree/master/devhelp/devhelp.
There it appears that the devhelp version  is 2.32. Unless of course I 
am misinterpreting what I see there.

I am also interested in this issue as I will soon be going through the 
same process with geany-plugin-debugger - another missing plugin.

Geoff
