Another r14-xdg-update script patch
by Darrell Anderson 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Slavek, I ran into a strange bug on my system. Long story short, part of the problem I traced to incomplete updates of the ktexteditor_ string. Attached is another r14-xdg-update patch. Please review. I modified the test for $PROFILE_DIR/share/apps/tdestyle and kstyle from -f to -d. On my system there are no files of that name in $TDEHOME/share/apps, only directories. I tested the patch here. The update fixed all straggling ktexteditor_ strings and moved my $TDEHOME/share/apps/kstyle directory to $TDEHOME/share/apps/tdestyle, which had never been done with previous versions of r14-xdg-update.

>What makes marketing of opensuse different from trinity is >that opensuse >work on a defined release schedule and has always done a number of >things to >beat the drum about their release number next. We have plans to enact a maintenance release schedule after we release R14.0.0. Tentatively set at every 90 days. As is true with any software project, we keep pecking away at the "paper cuts," but a 90 maintenance release schedule also keeps Trinity in the news. >I see marketing for tde as giving some love and attention to the >wiki to insure >that it is a welcoming and informative place for new users and >distros to check >out, learn from and get involved.

I have no idea how to resolve that. Would be nice, even if only for a few days, to relive the days when Trinity patches were being submitted almost hourly and folks like you and I were testing just as fast the patches were submitted. :) >When is the next tde meeting scheduled?

(hell, I might even get my freenode nick to register >correctly for >once...) Keep the list posted on the schedule. We already have etherpads documenting such tasks. We don't need meetings where typically, after all is said and done, more is said than ever gets done. Instead we need able-bodied people to step forward and help. Anybody can create a wiki account and edit, reorganize, etc. Any Trinity user can review help handbook documents and post review comments to this list --- I'll update any such reviews. Somebody out there in Trinity user land has web skills to create a proposed mockup for web site changes. As the Nike logo says, "Just do it." :) Darrell

A long while back I remember testing those files. They didn't work. I don't know whether the problem is the files, changes made to tdebindings, me, or some combination thereof. If the files do work we still need some notes somewhere how to properly use the files to test tdebindings. As a group, we've treated tdebindings as a black sheep way too long. Darrell

Understood, but this is the developer's mail list, not the user's mail list. The task list is legitimate for this mail list. :) Yes, users are not concerned with such tasks, but the developers are. Much of the focus of the wiki is for developers. Darrell

rebase of 3.5.13 tree drops all non 3.5.13 sources - howto fix?
by David C. Rankin 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Slavek, all After fixing the 3.5.13 source trees I had with: git checkout v3.5.13-sru && git pull --rebase I have missing dependencies. (basically all submodules that did not have a v3.5.13-sru branch were wiped out) Example: On the 3.5.13 tree: 02:04 phoinix:/dat_f/tde/tde> l1 main/dependencies/ arts avahi-tqt dbus-1-tqt dbus-tqt qt3 tqtinterface On R14: 02:14 phoinix:/dat_e/tde/tde> l1 main/dependencies/ arts avahi-tqt dbus-1-tqt dbus-tqt libart-lgpl libcaldav libcarddav python-tqt qt3 sip4-tqt tqca tqca-tls tqscintilla tqt3 tqtinterface So basically libart-lgpl, libcaldav, libcarddav, python-tqt, sip4-tqt, tqca, tqca-tls, and tqscintilla were all dropped from the tree. (I'm sure I'm missing others under applications/ as well. How do I pull all the remaining R14 sources/sub-modules into my new 3.5.13 tree? Do I have to do a manual diff of the directory structures and then do a manual "git checkout master -- <missing>" for each missing dir --or-- is there a better way to do it? The only other way I can think of would be to do a full git checkout master and covert the entire tree to master and then come back and switch submodules that have v3.5.13-sru branches back? How do you suggest I fill in the 3.5.13 tree? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Basically a collection of scripts, c, and java > apps that use TDE dialogs and functions. Hi Darrell, sorry for not having come back to this yet. I made a note in my list, but so far I have had no time to check how to test tdebindings. In tdebindings source code, there are a few folders called "test". They contain simple files written in Java, Python and Ruby that should test some of the tdebindings functionality. I doubt these are exhaustive tests, but they should serve as a good starting point.
