Re: [trinity-devel] TDE Internet Daemon

    With a fresh build set from Saturday Nov. 10, I am
unable to start the KDED TDE Internet
 Daemon. I receive a dialog "Unable to start service."

 Anybody able to confirm this bug?
  I tested a package set from GIT short version 8283 Oct. 15.
 The daemon can be started and stopped with no problems. So
 the bug was introduced since then.

 Any ideas which patch might be the cause?  
 In my package set from GIT short version 8387 Oct. 24-25 the
 daemon starts but fails in version 8436 Oct. 26-28. That
 narrows the bug to approximately Oct. 24 to Oct. 28.

 I'm staring at the commit list but don't see anything obvious. 
The cause is not explicitly a patch, but building tdenetwork with -DWITH_SLP=ON. The patch
for supporting OpenSLP was committed Oct. 26 (commit 354555a2), which coincides with the
period of Oct. 24-28. Building with OpenSLP support existed in the automake version but
never was explicitly tested. The cmake patch needed to be tested and that is the period
when the daemon started to fail.

As SLP is a network location tracking protocol, possibly the effects I see are
intentional. Yet if so, then a better feedback mechanism is needed to inform users why the
daemon is not starting or won't start.

I filed bug report 1314.
