Hi
In the user-list, I announced the state of preparation updates for 3.5.13:
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::3008
I also strongly modify the article in Etherpad. Now there is also a
current listing of included patches. This will be easier for me to keep
it up to date... and perhaps even easier for you:
http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/16
I would like to discuss with you whether further delay the official
release updates? I intended to add to updates all packages for which were
following patches:
- Remove additional unneeded tq method conversions
- Rename obsolete tq methods to standard names
- Rename a few stragglers
- Fix inadvertent "TQ" changes
For some packages, already contained in the update, these patches solve
tricky problems. But these patches applies to almost all the remaining
packages. Therefore, I ask if I should go into it (will take some time to
process it), or ask Tim whether to issue updates as they are ready now?
Personally, I tend to do - to release as soon as possible. Updates already
solves many errors. And that's why I find it useful to release as soon as
possible. What is your opinion?
I attach link to archive containing the current set of patches (5.4 MiB).
Maybe useful for others who prepare packages for other distributions.

Hello, what would be great (for me), is that patches for stable release
(currently 3.5.13) are downloadable individually from a central/official
place.
So that every distro could keep in sync with updated packages, instead
of doing the work separately.
I'd also like to have source tarballs for 3.5.13.1 when it's out, to
eliminate the need for patches in packaging process.
About a release date, I'm not really in a hurry, since I already provide
heavily patched packages for RHEL/Fedora.
So TDE is already working very well and there will be no big difference
between current 3.5.13 and 3.5.13.1 for the end-users.
BTW, the answer to a previous mail from you is below. (this is not
top-posting)

Dne út 24. dubna 2012 François Andriot napsal(a):
It takes a long time to compare every patch you have to every patch I
have :-)
From what I've seen, we have both backported all (or almost all)
patches from GIT to TDE 3.5.13 .
The most notable differences are:
1) I have skipped all patches about "QT=>TQT" (or TQT=>QT) renaming,
because I thought it was a never-ending work in progress which could
cause hard-to-fix regression.
2) I absolutely need all GCC 4.7 related patch (I see you have some, but
not all of them). This also applies to ruby 1.9 and libpng 1.4/1.5 .
Also, there are lots of commits by Darell to remove "More applications"
from program menu, and neither you nor me have taken them. Maybe we
should consider taking them.
For now, I've seen (or I believe I've seen) that you are lacking the
following patches:
Amarok:
I have some FTBFS and some features added.
See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984
Arts:
I have some features added.
See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747
Kdeadmin:
I've just added a patch to add support for RHEL/Fedora in networkconf
backend, see:
See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619
Kdebase:
Too many patches to compare ! I think the only ones I have that you
don't are RHEL/Fedora specific, so they won't go upstream.
An important point is the famous "startkde" script. Should we try to
have a stable updated script upstream, or should we keep distro-specific
changes in every packaging ?
Kdegraphics:
I have some FTBFS on stock 3.5.13.
See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984
Kdelibs:
You do not have patch for bugs: 656 , 764
You do not have patch for commits: 24f144fa , 2b035349
Kdeutils:
The "klaptopdaemon" from upstream will only work on debian/ubuntu
because there is a hardcoded "dpkg" command in its source code.
For all other distros, you should apply the following patch (should be
upstream IMHO):
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde-packaging/tree/redhat/kdeutils/kdeut…
That's all what I see for now.
Good job BTW :-)

But I did not find a place to download your
patches. (I haven't
searched a lot ...) If you share them, I will happily use them too.
Francois
Please could you compare if you have included patches that I am not
incorporated? If will be managed to set up a GIT branch for 3.5.13
updates, there would be good to incorporate also patches from you.
My patches are now available for download here:
