What about a small comment for each WITH_* option in root CMakeList.txt by which BUILD_* option(s) it is used? I can take it up...

Renaming kio-* packages?
by Slávek Banko 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Tim, you have a plan to rename packages kio-apt, kio-locate and kio-umountwrapper? If so, will be also renamed GIT repositories? By now kio-apt/debian/rules and kio-umountwrapper/debian/rules in tde-packaging refer to tdeio-* names, but changelog files still contains current kio-* names. That's probably wrong, but I do not know what version is intended as a future right. Slavek --

Proposed changes commit_all_submodules
by Slávek Banko 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello everyone, During the current work on repairing unintended renames I often use to bulk commit commit_all_submodules script. That's why I worked on some of the improvements. The first change is that I moved "git pull" after check whether in the module are any changes to push to the server. The advantages are two: 1) If the module does not contain changes, it is omitted both - pull and push. Step to pushing changes to the server can be significantly faster. 2) In general commit to 'tde' are not included unrelated changes in the modules in which was pushed commits from some other developers. The second change is that I added to "git pull" option --rebase. The advantage is that if changes were made on both sides - on the server and also in the local git clone, then instead of merge temporary local branch are local changes "rebased" to current HEAD on the server in order to maintain linear history without unnecessary merges. As you can see on my commits to master 'tde' repository. What is your opinion on the use of "--rebase"? Note: Attached is both - both script and diff. Slavek --

TDE Project Status
by Timothy Pearson 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

This is just a quick heads-up notice to the TDE development team that the major library and header renaming effort has reached its logical conclusion, and that no additional major API/ABI changing renaming efforts are likely for R14.0.0. While a number of binary files are still using their old KDE names, this should not interfere with the usage of KDE 4+ libraries within TDE if such usage is desired. All packages build properly as of this point, and as an added bonus Raring support is now available in the nightly builds PPA. The patchset generator is also back online as of this writing. If you have any questions, as always please feel free to ask! Tim

Re: [trinity-users] K menu organisation in Trinity

If you want to use KDE 3.5.10 I recommend you install a outdated and insecure distro. Trinity has changed, but also improved KDE3. If you want kde 3.5.10 then don't bother with Trinity. Trinity is a thing unto itself, but lives in the spirit of KDE3.

Adverse renaming
by Slávek Banko 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Tim, looking at the recent changes in the tde-packaging I see several varieties of adverse renaming. For example: -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chalkselectiontools.la -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chalkselectiontools.so -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chalkselectopaque.la -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chalkselectopaque.so +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chaltdeselectiontools.la +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chaltdeselectiontools.so +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chaltdeselectopaque.la +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/chaltdeselectopaque.so ...and many other chalk* => chaltde* -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/share/apps/kplato/reports/.source/tasklist.ktf -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/share/apps/kplato/reports/tasklist.desktop +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/share/apps/kplato/reports/.source/tastdelist.ktf +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/share/apps/kplato/reports/tastdelist.desktop -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/tdeparts/dockmainwindow.h +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/tdeparts/doctdemainwindow.h -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/tdetexteditor/blockselectioninterface.h +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/tdetexteditor/bloctdeselectioninterface.h -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/kopete/ui/addressbookselectordialog.h -debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/kopete/ui/addressbookselectorwidget.h +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/kopete/ui/addressbootdeselectordialog.h +debian/tmp/opt/trinity/include/kopete/ui/addressbootdeselectorwidget.h In addition, some partial repairs but also other adverse renaming: ---- kiosktool/tdeiosktool/tdeioskrun.cpp 2005-04-25 10:46:33.000000000 +0100 -+++ kiosktool/tdeiosktool/tdeioskrun.cpp 2007-07-20 16:56:07.000000000 +0100 +--- kiosktool/kiosktool/tdeioskrun.cpp 2005-04-25 10:46:33.000000000 +0100 ++++ kiosktool/kiosktool/tdeioskrun.cpp 2007-07-20 16:56:07.000000000 +0100 -+ return "Error in Kiosktool Kubuntu modifications"; ++ return "Error in Kiostdetool Kubuntu modifications"; These are just some examples, which I happened to notice. I'm afraid that it will take a lot of eyes, to reveal all the adverse renaming. I think it is right to make this great renaming before release final R14, but I believe that the recently proposed date for release final R14 need to be revisited. Slavek --

I'll update my GIT repo and start running build sets when we are informed all packages build without error. Please let us know when all packages build. :) Darrell
