Python help please to fix help handbook installation
by Darrell Anderson 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

All, Would one of you python experts, or even a python newbie, which I am not, look at (git sources) kstreamripper/doc/SConscript? The script does not install the index.docbook file into the package, only installing index.cache.bz2. Including the index.docbook file is necessary. Should take about two minutes to fix? :) Thank you! P.S. Yes, the kstreamripper help handbook is nothing but a template. One problem at a time. :) Darrell

Progress - All build dependencies updated for Arch - howto NOHAL?
by David C. Rankin 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

All, Darrell, Progress! Not as bad as I thought. All pre-build dependencies not provided by Arch have been updated and built! 15:39 phoinix:/dat_e/tde/tstbld> l1 repo apetag-git-1.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libkarma-0.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libnjb-2.2.7-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libutempter-1.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz mt-daapd-0.2.4.2-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz musepack-tools-svn-r484-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xmedcon-0.13.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I'll work R14 first, then look at 3.5.13-sru. For R14, to build with NOHAL is all that is needed is to tell tdelibs/tdebase it is a NOHAL build with: cmake ${srcdir}/tdebase \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${TDEDIR} \ -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fpermissive" \ -DWITH_ARTS=ON \ -DWITH_HAL=OFF \ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Currently tdelibs/CMakeLists.txt has: option( WITH_HAL "Enable HAL support" OFF ) Does that mean that HAL is OFF by default now? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [trinity-devel] Missing help handbooks update
by Darrell Anderson 14 Jan '14

Updated missing handbook list as I find quirks and mistakes within the help system. kdevdesigner (tdevelop) tderadio ksquirrel (only handbook is written in Russian --- need at least an English translation) ktorrent kbarcode kbarcode-single kbarcode-editor kbarcode-batch kpalmdoc (kpilot) kvaio (kcontrol module) thinkpad (kcontrol module) kcmview1394 (kcontrol module) display (kcontrol module) kmobile (tdepim) ksystemlog embedjs (tdebindings) A handbook exists for kstreamripper but is nothing but a template.

Scrollkeeper and beagle
by Darrell Anderson 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

All, Do any Trinity users use scrollkeeper? Trinity maintains legacy KDE3 code to support scrollkeeper, but scrollkeeper hasn't been supported in a decade. The successor is something called rarian, which Trinity does not support and seems to be a GNOME app. Do we want to continue scrollkeeper support? Further, do we want to support metasearch engines at all? We maintain kerry, which is a beagle front-end. Beagle has not been supported in a number of years. Darrell

>As I mentioned in the beginning - I tested the binary packages >from LibreOffice-TDE PPA on build-farm. > >+ 4.0.3-14 on Debian Wheezy >+ 4.0.2-0ubuntu4 on Ubuntu Saucy Always trust Debian to be a version or two behind. :) The latest LO stable is 4.1.4. You're fortunate that whoever supports LO upstream in Debian is building LO with Trinity support. Darrell

I >do not know >what caused the problem in the first test. Are you using a premade LO binary or compiling your own LO package? What version of LO? I do not have the luxury of somebody else compiling LO with Trinity dialog support. I have to do that on my own. That is why I need information to compile LO with Trinity support. Darrell

Seems we should do some testing. The link above is about KDE4 but perhaps similar patching is needed for Trinity. To my understanding there are two patches. One that affects dialog speed and another that affects spreadsheets. How long did compiling take on the build farm? Darrell

When the web site is moved to the new format, which is in progress behind the scenes, we will have a navigation link for developers. Later we can massage these off site files into those locations. I can perform basic editing and massaging into Trinity specific documents, but one of the code gurus will need to be locked into a room with Twinkies and sodas to read and ensure the material is updated correctly. as well as augment the material as necessary. >If there are pieces needed from kde.org (pages, etc.) they are >currently marked >for deletion, so we may need to get with Martin or whoever the >current kde.org >emissary is and see if we can get a copy/backup of the pages that >help navigate >the examples and headers. I've already spidered the web pages to my computer. No need to worry about them disappearing, although I don't expect that to happen any time soon. We're covered one way or another. Darrell

How to exclude files from installing in the final package
by Darrell Anderson 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

All, I'm doing a lot of cleanup work with the help handbook files. kdiff3 contains many html files that get included in the final package. Originally the html files were intended for users not using KDE3. These html files cause problems with the help handbook table of contents and cause error messages seen in the xsession- error log. I want to modify the Makefile.am file not to include the html files in the package. I've looked around the web in frustration. How do I do that? Thanks? Darrell
