Yes, but David asked how to find patches mentioned in Debian bug reports. In the referenced bug report there are no links to an actual patch. Only a textual reference the problem is resolved.

Calvin - have you updated HAL to use eject from util-linux instead of the eject package?

by David C. Rankin

All -> Calvin, While I plan on building R14 without hal, taking a look at the package on AUR, hal still depends on eject. Eject now conflicts with util-linux, eject which means we need to remove eject as a dependency. Do you plan on updating, or should I just cannibalize it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Missing help handbooks

by Darrell Anderson

All, With respect to the recent conversation about helping the Trinity project, here is a list of apps that have no help handbooks: kdevdesigner (tdevelop) kstreamripper tderadio ksquirrel ktorrent kbarcode kbarcode-single kbarcode-editor kbarcode-batch kbibtex kpalmdoc (kpilot) dolphin kiosktool kvaio (kcontrol module) thinkpad (kcontrol module) kcmview1394 (kcontrol module) display (kcontrol module) kmobile (tdepim) All of the apps have had no help handbook since the KDE3 days. If you enjoy using one of those apps and want to help, please consider writing something. You do not need to deal with docbook. If you send me a text file I will massage the information into a help handbook file. The text need not be a novel. Sometimes a few paragraphs is sufficient. For most handbooks, a description and highlighting the main features is a nice start. Thank you! Darrell

Upcoming automake changes you should be aware of in automake 2.0

by David C. Rankin

All, All packages that use automake and have subdirectories in the build tree may fail to build with the release of automake 2.0. I am working on this for hal, but I suspect other packages may be impacted. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69874 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [trinity-devel] LibreOffice and Trinity dialogs

As far as I can tell, something like the following is needed in the build script: ==================== ... # Check for an installed Trinity and assume TQt. # We need additional tests to ensure LO has been patched correctly. TDEDIR=${TDEDIR:-""} # to avoid "TDEDIR: unbound variable" if [ ! -z "$TDEDIR" ]; then export TDEDIR="$TDEDIR" export QTDIR="$QTDIR" export QTINC="$QTDIR/include" export QTLIB="$QTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" TDEOPTS="--enable-tde" else TDEOPTS="--disable-tde" fi ... ./autogen.sh \ --prefix=/usr \ --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-${LOVER}${VERSION}${PKG_SUBVER} \ --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --mandir=/usr/man \ ... ${GITOPTS} \ ${KDEOPTS} \ ${TDEOPTS} \ ... ==================== My build attempt failed when I tried to build the latest stable, 4.1.4. I filed bug report 1799 showing the failure messages. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1799 Seems the expected directory and file location has changed from previous versions of LO. My guess is we need to push an appropriate patch upstream to the LO folks. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] LibreOffice and Trinity dialogs

by Darrell Anderson

>This is not a standard Debian / Ubuntu builds - it is Tim's builds >on Trinity build-farm. Luck you. :) >By the way, in the Debian Wheezy is officially LibreOffice 3.5.4 >:) However, in wheezy-backports and Jessie is already 4.1.4. I have 4.1.4 installed from a third party Slackware repo, but there is no Trinity support. Asking to add that support would be a waste of time as Trinity is not part of the "official" Slackware eco system. All desktops not supported in the official releases must be maintained by interested third parties. This is why I filed the bug report and want to see a mini how-to posted to the wiki. Those who are faced with compiling LO on their own need all the support they can get. Darrell

I tried that. No luck. No build failures or complaints, but no index.docbook in the package. Darrell
