Reviewing archlinux patches from git.
by Calvin Morrison 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Archers - Tim, I am reviewing these patches now. dbusfix.patch - is a arch specific compiler fix. It is hardcoded and should not be sent upstream. Don't merge. kicker-lockout.patch - this is kind of silly, it allows you to either switch the spot of either Lock or Logout. It doesn't seem entirely useful. Especially not if I can push my changes for kickers logout before R14. I know extra configuration is good - but this seems to be manual solution. I think it would be better to have these items operate as regular entries, that way users could move/add/remove them as pleased. I wouldn't merge doc_location.patch - is a fix for cmake's HTML_INSTALL_DIR. changes the destination from /doc/kde/HTML to /doc/HTML. Maybe this should be /doc/tde/HTML? either way I would merge it. kcontrol_advbg_step.patch - "this patch modifies the step of refresh time in advanced background settings of kcontrol step instead of being 5 is 1, the maximal value of refresh time is incremented too." - I am not sure this makes anything better or worse. I haven't had any problems with kcontrol's background. Pawel? nsplugincontainer-xdgcomplaince.patch - Apparently makes this xdg compliant. I need someone to review this as well. bigger_title_icons_in_kcontrol.patch - changes the hardcoded size of icons from 22 to 48 - not sure what value it adds, or if really needs to be changes.

tqt3 twin-style-crystal compile error
by Jay 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Building from tqt3 onwards all compiles for me (slackware 13.37) When compiling twin-style-crystal it stops at the error that qvariant.h was not found. Adding --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/tqt/Qt/ during configure finds the file but then stops with the error: In file included from configdialog.h:12:0, from crystalconfig.cc:43: /usr/include/tqt/Qt/qvariant.h:45:28: fatal error: QtCore/qatomic.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [crystalconfig.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal/client/config' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal/client' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal' make: *** [all] Error 2 This file (QtCore/qatomic.h) does not exists anywhere in the git tree or the local system.

Documentation Review List
by Kristopher John Gamrat 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi, As was pointed out by Darrell Anderson, a documentation review board is needed. I have started a list on the Etherpad. This list is currently rather incomplete as I have not yet gone through any of the documentation, and I therefor do not have a thorough knowledge of everything that needs updating. The list on the Etherpad should list known changes that need to be made to the documentation, and should allow anybody interested in maintaining documentation to claim the documentation for specific apps that they use on a regular basis. The list of apps that is on the Etherpad is currently incomplete. I currently not have time to go through the packages to list all of them as I have some stuff in real life that I need to do, so the first several items on the apps list are just categories copied from the source downloads page. Feel free to expand them if you can. If you do not trust your technical writing skills, perhaps you can simply check the docs for apps you are interested in and report needed changes that you see. -- Kris Gamrat

pyQt3 - sip deprecation?
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Arch folks, PyQt3 will build with the git sources for tde, but I get LOTS (1000s) of deprecation warnings. Eg: sip: Deprecation warning: sip/qt/copying.sip:50: %OptionalInclude is deprecated, use %Include and the 'optional' argument instead sip: Deprecation warning: sip/qt/copying.sip:51: %OptionalInclude is deprecated, use %Include and the 'optional' argument instead sip: Deprecation warning: sip/qt/qnamespace.sip:23: %ExportedDoc is deprecated, use %Extract instead sip: Deprecation warning: sip/qt/qwindowdefs.sip:23: %ExportedDoc is deprecated, use %Extract instead sip: Deprecation warning: sip/qt/qwindowdefs.sip:37: %OptionalInclude is deprecated, use %Include and the 'optional' argument instead I'm not that familiar with PyQt3 or sip, so I don't know whether it is needed or not, but to make sure nothing was lost, I was building it. Do we really need this package, if so, does it need to be updated to get rid of the deprecations warnings? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

BIG Issue - Have all 'kd' to 'td' name changes taken place that WILL take place?
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Tim, All, What is the status of renaming from 'k_whatever' to 't_whatever'? Are we at a point where all that will be done is done? Obviously, this effects building and packaging. For instance tdebase still contains all the 'k' applications: kappfinder kate kcheckpass kcminit kcontrol kdcop kdebugdialog kdeeject kdepasswd kdesktop kdialog kfind khelpcenter khotkeys kicker kioslave klipper kmenuedit knetattach konqueror konsole kpager kpersonalizer kreadconfig krootbacking kscreensaver ksmserver ksplashml kstart ksysguard ksystraycmd While some have move to 't' apps: tdeinit tdeprint tdesu tdm tdmlib Do we expect to see in the future: tappfinder tate tcheckpass tcminit ... tonqueror (Sounds like the biggest baddest Tonka truck) tonsole (Sounds like something you have removed as a kid) ... Or can we be pretty certain the remaining 'k' names won't change? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

tdebase - which patches still required for git?
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Guys, gals, Looking at tdebase build package for arch based on the original 3.5.13 tarball, I show the following patches: patches/01-kicker-lockout-applet-button-order.patch patches/dbusfix.patch patches/07-bigger_title_icons_in_kcontrol.patch patches/06-nspluginscan-xdgcompliance.patch patches/08-kip_kdesktop_rounded_icon_text_corners.patch patches/03-kcontrol_advbg_step.patch patches/02-doc_location.patch and xsession.patch Does anyone know which are still required for the tdebase build from the git tree? I looked at http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tdebase, but I can't figure out which patch may have been applied. Better tool for that? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

arch pkgbuild cleanup - $pkgname, $depends, $provides - first thoughts...
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Archers, In the effort to clean up the daisy-chain of $pkgname, $depends, and $provides as I go through the build scripts for the git tree, here is my first thoughts on a name cleanup. I'm not tied to any of the names and the goal is simply to make the dependency tree as clean as possible without K_this and T_that intermixed. The $depends simply lists the git tree depends and does not list the other required depends for building (those are what they are), but I want to remove depends that don't belong or are unnecessary (referencing a previous trinity package implicitly includes all the prior depends - so duplication is unnecessary) Look it over. I've only done it for the packages I have built so far (avahi-tqt still won't build). Obviously some people won't build the 'davs' or avahi-tqt, so I've set the $depends accordingly. # GITsource $pkgname $provides $depends qt3 tde-qt3 'qt3' tqtinterface tde-tqtinterface 'tqtinterface' 'qt3' arts tde-arts 'arts' 'tqtinterface' dbus-tqt tde-dbus-tqt 'dbus-tqt' 'arts' dbus-1-tqt tde-dbus-1-tqt 'dbus-1-tqt' 'dbus-tqt' libcaldav tde-libcaldav 'libcaldav' 'dbus-1-tqt' libcarddav tde-libcarddav 'libcarddav' 'dbus-1-tqt' libart-lpgl tde-libart-lpgl 'libart-lpgl' 'dbus-1-tqt' avahi-tqt tde-avahi-tqt 'avahi-tqt' 'dbus-1-tqt' tdelibs tde-tdelibs 'tdelibs' 'libart-lpgl' tdebase tde-tdebase 'tdebase' 'tdelibs' The $pkgname is just a stab. I actually will probably want something like: $pkgname tde-dep-qt3 tde-dep-tqtinterface tde-dep-arts tde-dep-dbus-tqt tde-dep-dbus-1-tqt tde-dep-libcaldav tde-dep-libcarddav tde-dep-libart-lpgl tde-dep-avahi-tqt tde-tdelibs tde-tdebase ... tde-app-kpilot ... That way dependencies, applications, etc... all sort together and the tde-xyz is shorter than including 'dependencies' or 'applications' in the file name. Just my thoughts... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Arch - change standard install loc from /opt/trinity to /opt/tde?
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Archers, All, Currently, Arch installs trinity to /opt/trinity. Personally, I would like to move the default install to /opt/tde. Two reasons: (1) most important -- less typing; (2) the tradition of the install being in /opt/kde, why not standardize around /opt/tde? For the rest of the community -- Where are you putting tde? It would just make sense to set a community-wide standard. Yes, I know that the location is irrelevant and can be obtained by the standard environment files, but we recently had a rebuild of 3.5.12 that moved from /opt/kde to /opt/kde3. That's fine, but depending upon the repo you hit to pull files from, your system would break due to install location differences in the various packages. I don't have any hard feelings either way for any single location, but if it is all the same, then if possible, I would like to see a standard that all packagers could reference. Of course you don't have to use it, but if there is a standard install, the balance of builds will migrate to it over time. What says the team? /opt/trinity /opt/tde /opt/tde_ver (ver being a 2 or 3-digit version: eg. 13 or 313) /opt/other_suggestions? Personally for me, /opt/tde works :) (/opt/trinity is probably my fault on arch anyway :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
