Package building QA
by Darrell Anderson 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Do we have a check list to help developers/packagers watch for QA problems with packages? I have not seen any. How about we start one? 1. Check two apps in each menu category of the T-Menu to verify the Help file handbook is available. 2. Run a system test looking for broken sym links. (I use a short script I can share.) 3. Do all apps in the T-Menu start? 4. Check the xsession logs for unexpected or unusual errors and messages. 5. Do kdesu/kdesudo work as expected for your distro? This is just for starters. Please add to this list. Darrell

I am trying to run Trinity's KDevelop with KDE 4's KDevelop. Trying to install from the Trinity repo's is giving me a file is attempting to overwrite another file. Anyway I can run both of these on the same system? -- Bro. Michael Henry Associate Pastor Monticello Christian Church Be kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Kmail randomly archiving gmail messages
by Kristopher John Gamrat 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Some of my gmail messages are being archived (removed from my inbox but not being deleted) when Kmail checks my gmail account. This only happens when Kmail does it's check, and none of the emails that are being archived are showing up because they aren't in any of my IMAP folders. I know the archived messages are still there because I can log into gmail's web interface, go to my "All Mail" list, and see the archived messages. When I move them back to my inbox, they will stay there so long as Kmail isn't checking for email. There is no setting in gmail's settings (either Kmail or the web interface) to do this, nor do they offer any filters that would do this (or at least, I don't have any such filters active in my gmail). I have checked my IMAP settings in Kmail and gmail web interface. I cannot find any settings that would exhibit this behavior. I do include my inbox (and all the other IMAP folders) in both my serverside and local subscription. The last detail I can offer is that I'm using cachedimap instead of regular imap. Is there anything outside of my gmail/IMAP settings that could be causing this? -- Kristopher Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/

KDE3 Profile Migration Script
by Darrell Anderson 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

In my patched startkde script (bug report 675) I include code to automatically migrate a user's existing KDE3 profile directory. I'm thinking perhaps I move that code to a separate script, say $PREFIX/bin/migratekde3, and source that script in startkde. That would allow admins and users to run the script as they please and separate maintenance for us. By moving to a separate script we all can test more easily and improve that script without directly impacting startkde. As a separate script testing could be performed in any desktop environment and not just TDE. Opinions? Yays? Nays? Darrell
