This is just a quick heads-up notice to the TDE development team that the major library and header renaming effort has reached its logical conclusion, and that no additional major API/ABI changing renaming efforts are likely for R14.0.0. While a number of binary files are still using their old KDE names, this should not interfere with the usage of KDE 4+ libraries within TDE if such usage is desired.
All packages build properly as of this point, and as an added bonus Raring support is now available in the nightly builds PPA.
The patchset generator is also back online as of this writing.
If you have any questions, as always please feel free to ask!
- Will the bug tracker next receive attention?
As much as I can spare, yes. I have been going through and repairing bugs as I have time (e.g. Bug 1288), but I don't have a lot of spare time to dedicate to TDE right now. Help is appreciated as always; in particular Slavek has been working on making sure that the rename effort did not rename unintended items and backing out problematic renames as needed.
- What is the target release date for R14?
I would like to release before or coincident with Debian Wheezy's release. Wheezy's target audience (mature, stable software) matches TDE's target audience quite well and I would like to take advantage of that if possible.
