Success! tqtinterface builds Fine on Arch from git
by David C. Rankin 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

Guys, One small build for a man, and one giant leap for Arch packages building from git :) After finally getting the cmake and admin directories populated, tqtinterface guilt without issue from the latest git! The first proud package: trinity-tqtinterface-3513-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz If the rest of the tree goes as well, this should be a timely breeze (loud knocking on wood). I have created tarballs from the git tree and they seem to be working fine building in an archroot. Do we have a tally as to home much of tde should be building at this time from the git tree? I saw Samelaine's announcement saying the packages were all done - does this mean I could start now and conceivably build a majority of tde? First looks -- look good! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Publishing help files, user guides, etc.
by Darrell Anderson 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

To cmake and makefile gurus: My plan is that starting with R14 the version number and copyright date of all Trinity documentation (help files, user guides, etc.) will be the same as the software release. That way the help files and guides look current rather than look 10 years old. By matching the release date and version, users know which release the documentation belongs and is an indication the documentation is not stagnant with a dumb version number like 0.1. I will create two entity variables that all related docbook files will use: release date and release version. Therefore the only place we need to update anything would be the entity file and not every single docbook file (ugh). The entity files are part of the tdelibs package. During the build process is there a way to automatically update these entity variables? I could do that in my own build scripts but I prefer a method that is global to any packager. How this would work: When a person builds from GIT today and then opens a handbook help file, the date would be today and the release would be R14.0.0 [DEVELOPMENT]. That way all drafts of all documentation show the current date and release number. However, when [DEVELOPMENT] is not part of the version string, that is, with an official release, then the date and release number are always hard-coded to the official release date. The release version is embedded in the TDE_VERSION_STRING variable in tdelibs/tdecore/tdeversion.h. I don't know whether the release date is hard-coded anywhere. Possibly when detecting that [DEVELOPMENT] is not part of the TDE_VERSION_STRING string, then the release date becomes the file date stamp of tdeversion.h. I'm just speculating and thinking out loud. Is this possible? Darrell

Arch Builders - shadow updates break kdm - link to patched src provided
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Calvin, Pawel, Baho, The update to shadow 5 will break kdm do to a soname bump in libshadow. I have built a new source package with updated PKGBUILD for the old version and updated the pkgrel to 6. Grab the src tarball here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/src/shadow_4.1.4.3-6.tar.gz The only change was to the PKGBUILD. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Additional kcontrol applets from 3.5.12 - not in current 3.5.13
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

All, Reviewing my current Trinity 3.5.12 desktop at work, I have found a number of additional useful kcontrol applets that are not in the current 3.5.13. I'm not saying they are needed, but for discussion, here they are. Basically a diff of the entries is: (in 3.5.12 Archlinux - Albert Vaca build) Appearance & Themes KSM Theme Manager Internet & Network Local Network Chat Network Interfaces Protocols Samba Wireless Network Zeroconf Service Discovery Peripherals CD-ROM Information Devices DMA-Channels ICC Color Profile Interrupts IO-Ports Partitions PCI Processors SCSI Sound USB Devices X-Server Power Control Laptop Battery Many of these hold very useful information from /proc and /etc in a tabular layout (eg: Peripherals/Partitions). I don't know if these are/were standard of some distro specific addons, but they were most likely not arch additions. I have updated the side-by-side comparison to include this layout. The side-by-side now has kcontrol layouts for: [3.5.10-suse] [3.5.12-arch] [3.5.13-current] [My Suggestions] http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/kcontrol/ I took a few screenshots to show what I saw in the 3.5.12 kcontrol: http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kcontrol-ICC.jpg http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kcontrol-Xserver.jpg Screenshots of the Appearance & Themes - Internet & Network are shown here: http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kcontrol_3.5.12-1.jpg Nothing pressing and I'm not necessarily arguing for their inclusion. But if you guys that make decisions on what goes in and what doesn't like something you see, I'm certain we could probably track the sources down. The one that did catch my eye was 'Zeroconf Service Discovery'. With the new uses for avahi for iphone printing, etc., it might be nice to have an interface to it in kcontrol. I tested the current build and it will need tweaking. On Arch, the /usr/share/avahi_enabe '1' no longer exists. So the package would need updating by the distro maintainers to work with the version of avahi they ship. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Preparing updates for 3.5.13
by Slávek Banko 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Hello As you may have noticed, I volunteered that I backport important and useful patches to 3.5.13. Currently I have collected the following: amarok-trinity * commit 6e5a3b66 Fix linear alphabet string errors gwenview-trinity * commit 9cb99cdb Fix linear alphabet string errors kdeadmin-trinity * commit 1f719050 Fix linear alphabet string errors kdebase-trinity * commit 1e2983ad, closes #690 Fix kdm_greet high CPU usage Clean up a few build warnings * commit 5f413b26, closes #587 Add keyboard hotplug (add/remove) support to tsak Fix warning in kompmgr * commit 8468d9bd, closes #561 Replicate LED status from virtual keyboards to physical keyboards Fix keyboard attribute cloning * commits f05f9dc7, 5f8d7307 kdesktop_lock behavior * commit 4ea39793, closes #669 Fix desktop lock process not hiding secondary screens * commits 05793262, 678bea5b, closes #810 Clean up lock screen internals Allow minimal managed window interaction inside the lock process * commit 77041d78 Clean up 9cc1e2c1 changes to enum This corrects a potential ABI compat problem noted by Martin Gräßlin * Fix Documents Folder localization kdeedu-trinity * commit 0cd3b7ce Fix linear alphabet string errors kdegames-trinity * commit edc913ee Fix linear alphabet string errors kdelibs-trinity * commit b9111683, closes #569 Add pcre detection to tdelibs CMake files * commit e607cfe6 Fix utf8 encoding for webdav directories * commit e6b6f2ea Fix kiconloader crash when libart is not in use kdemultimedia-trinity * commit fd6afacf Fix linear alphabet string errors kdenetwork-trinity * commit 3516f9bc Fix linear alphabet string errors * Kopete Now Listening plugin repairs Fixed checking DCOP replyType (TQString × QString) Put message /media as plain text kdepim-trinity * commit 80bc593e, closes #635 Incorrect conversion of encodings in kmail-imap. kmymoney2-trinity * commit 2a54aa5, closes #672 Fix a number of crashes koffice-trinity * commit 802a4120 Fix linear alphabet string errors konversation-trinity * commit 440010aa Fix linear alphabet string errors kvirc-trinity * commit 51bbe9e5 Fix linear alphabet string errors I wanted to apply 1f39650 for qt-x11-free that fixes the 812, but its application has resulted in crash almost all programs - see http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5251 - with this I need help. In addition to patches for qt-x11-free on my list of issues remains to be many problems with Kaffeine, for which I do not have patches and solutions. And then also a minor issue with displaying of SVG wallpapers (bugs #744, #615). Does anyone have any other useful patches suitable for backport? Packages with the above patches are in my PPA source ready to test - for Squeeze, Oneiric, Natty, Maverick and Lucid. I will be happy if you want to test.

Howto move local git repository from ~/dirA -> ~/dirB
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Guys, With svn if I needed to more the location of my local repository, I could simply move it. Like mv ~/test/tde ~/trinity. Can I do the same thing with a git repository and not screw up the metadata in the tree? I note the .git directories in the tree contain worktree information: 09:34 nirvana:~/tdegit/tde> grep -r tdegit .git * .git/modules/main/tdenetwork/config: worktree = /home/david/tdegit/tde/main/tdenetwork .git/modules/main/tde-i18n/config: worktree = /home/david/tdegit/tde/main/tde-i18n .git/modules/main/tdebase/config: worktree = /home/david/tdegit/tde/main/tdebase Can I move the tree and then just sed the worktree info, or will one of the 'git' commands do this for me? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Plan B
by Darrell Anderson 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Tim is a great team leader and incredibly skilled with programming and seeing both the trees and forest. But Tim is only one person. There are many patches that have been submitted to the bugzilla. Those patches have yet to be merged. Many of those patches directly affect building packages. Perhaps I'm out in left field, but seems to me that all build related bug reports should be resolved as fast as possible. Any such report with a patch should be merged within a day or two. Granted, often we bypass the bugzilla and resolve build related bugs directly in this list, but I'm addressing those that do get filed in the bugzilla. Is Tim the only person qualified or allowed to merge patches? He has to sleep too and should not be the only person merging patches. Many of the patches are nominal or trivial. Others should be able merge those types of patches. If Tim is not the only person, is anybody who has GIT access interested in merging those patches? If Tim is the only person then why don't we have alternates to share the load for when Tim is busy with other life requirements? All of this leads into an important topic. Where do we stand when Tim has to devote time and energy to other life requirements? Do we have a Plan B to keep the project moving forward? Seems to me that whenever Tim is not merging patches the project grinds to a halt. That's a high compliment to Tim, but an uncomfortable reflection on the project. :( Darrell

confused by git: scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean - calls self recursively? Why?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Guys, Trying to sort out my git issues, I have been picking through switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean. I cannot understand what the purpose of the line: git submodule foreach "$THISSCRIPT $gituser" That line causes git to step through each of its submodules and call: "switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean <gitUser>" Why? The script has already done everything at least once before? Dissecting the script it does: git reset --hard HEAD git clean -dxf git pull git reset --hard HEAD git clean -dxf sed -i "s/system@/$gituser@/g" .gitmodules # or 's/system@//g' git submodule init git submodule update git submodule foreach "git checkout master" git submodule foreach "git pull" then it does: git submodule foreach "$THISSCRIPT $gituser" Which causes this script to be run all over again on each submodule... I have changed this version of my script as follows and it seems to run on each submodule anyway: git reset --hard HEAD git clean -dxf git pull git reset --hard HEAD git clean -dxf sed -i "s/system@/$gituser@/g" .gitmodules # or 's/system@//g' git submodule init git submodule update --recursive git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout master" git submodule foreach --recursive "git pull" git pull gets everything: 16:32 archangel:/dat_f/tde/git> git pull remote: Counting objects: 14, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (12/12) remote: Total 12 (delta 8), reused 12 (delta 8) Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.
