At the beginning - one unnecessary - knetworkmanager8. This being replaced by tdenetworkmanager, no longer being updated and may be removed from nightly-builds.
tdenetworkmanager only works on NM 0.9 and above. The older software (knetworkmanager8) is needed for NM 0.8 and below.
Aha, I did not know this. I thought that tdenetworkmanager uses tdehw-library, not directly network-manager. Therefore, I assumed that tdenetworkmanager is not dependent on the version of network-manager => that dependency is addressed in tdehw-library.
And I didn't consider it necessary to include NM <= 0.8 support in the tdehw library. ;-)
Otherwise, we have a problem, because the commit a111d47e9 in dbus-1-tqt causes FTBFS in knetworkmanager8!
Ah, OK. I am tempted to just say TDE R14 supports NM 0.9 and above, and kill off knetworkmanager8 completely. Thoughts?
For me it does not sound very nice. This would cut off the network support for all users who have knetworkmanager functional at this time.
By the way, tdenetworkmanager is built successfully on all currently supported Debianu / Ubuntu distributions.
It will build, but the DBUS calls will fail at runtime (the user will be informed properly, but there is no way to make it work). Yet another reason I really hate DBUS sometimes!
Please, you have an overview of the differences between dbus calls for network-manager 8 and 9?
