impressions on exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi all! Just wanted to post my impression of exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso: Everything works as expected - again very good work :-) The only problem I had was that grub did not want to boot if the root-partition is ext4. ext3 works fine, as expected. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

tdegraphics dependency on kmrml-trinity seems too strong/unappropriate
by Michele Calgaro 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

All, I noticed today that tdegraphics depends on kmrml-trinity. Is the dependency strictly required or can we remove it and instead add a "suggestion" for kmrml-trinity in tdegraphics? The reason for asking is that kmrml-trinity installs a control module in "system administration" that comes up with a "Cannot find executables gift and/or gift-add-collection.pl in the PATH. Please install the GNU Image Finding Tool" error message is GnuIFT is not installed. I do not use Gift and do no see any need to use it, and the same is true for the associated control module. So I would like to be able to remove the package, but do not want to sacrifice tdegraphics for that. Comments are welcomed. I can take care of the changes if you agree. Cheers Michele

Commit History
by Mike Bird 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Is it a bug to be reported or is it a design decision that some commits (e.g. 61fd4b9a) don't show up in the Commit History page https://trinitydesktop.org/patches/ or the search engine therein although they can be found by looking in specific GIT repository: https://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde-packaging/commit/?id=61fd4b9a --Mike

Notes on checking for circular dependencies
by Mike Bird 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

You almost certainly don't need to read this. I'm posting this here for the record in case someone wants to check TDE for circular dependencies in future. Bugs have been filed for all circular dependencies found in a standard --with-recommendations TDE R14 RC1 Wheezy install. (1) Why check for circular dependencies Although apt and dpkg do their best to handle any circular dependencies they encounter, circular dependencies can cause problems and a generally discouraged. (2) How to get rid of circular dependencies Usually one finds the least important dependency in the circle and changes it to a recommendation. If you're dealing with a maze rather than a circle you may to have convert several dependencies. (3) tsort non-method I first thought of using tsort on the dependencies listed in Packages.gz. However versioned dependencies, provides, conflicts, etc make this impractical. (4) Recommended elegant automatic method foreach PACKAGE in TRINITY { start with a minimal (non-TDE) base system install PACKAGE and all its dependencies remove just PACKAGE } There should be no errors installing or removing. However this method is somewhat time consuming even if you arrange it to use snapshots in a chroot so you can quickly revert to your minimal base system. (5) Grungy manual method Due to time constraints I used the following method for TDE R14 RC1. start with a non-TDE base system let TARGET be a list of all installed packages apt-get --install-recommends install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity while (true) { let CURRENT be a list of all installed packages let REMOVE be TARGET (join -v) CURRENT let BUSY = false do { foreach PACKAGE in REMOVE { Try to remove PACKAGE, if successful set BUSY = true } while (BUSY); break if only TARGET packages are installed manually figure out why no remaining package is removable note and remove any set of co-dependent packages } This is overall a lot faster than the automatic method but it requires more manual work. The first time the removals stalled there were 76 packages still awaiting removal and you then have to look through these to find the loops. (6) Loops found in Wheezy TDE R14 RC1 (a) Bug #2194 kcontrol-trinity konqueror-nsplugins-trinity konqueror-trinity konsole-trinitytdebase-trinity ksmserver-trinity tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity (b) Bug #2197 libkcal2b-trinity libtdepim1a-trinity (c) Pre-existing Debian Bug #626319 gnuift gnuift-perl

"Round-off" default splash screen
by Michele Calgaro 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Alexandre, E., would it be possible for you to create a slightly modified version of the KSplash default theme with "rounded" corners? I would like to compare a "rounded square" and a "full" square and see which one looks better. I think a rounded splashscreen may look a little better at login. The file to modify are in tdebase/ksplashml/pics/themes/default, probably only splash_top.png and splash_bottom.png Thanks Michele

Unused folder in kcontrol
by Michele Calgaro 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Tim, Slavek, while working on bug 1850, I noticed that in tdebase/kcontrol there is an "accessibility" folder that is not used at all (not even built). By the content of it, it is either an older version or a temporary development version of the "access" folder, which is the KControl module for Regional & Accessibility --> Accessibility. Removing the folder does not cause any build problem, but before doing that I thought I would ask in case any of you had more information about it. If there are no objections, I will proceed to remove it. Cheers Michele
