Many thanks for the help Robert!
Ok, now I finally have a coherent set of patches. Many of them are just for
specific builds, but it seems to me that some should be included in the main
tree. Anyway, I don't know the codebase enough. :)
Just 2 questions left:
- are the translations in qt3-3.3.8b-translations still good for 3.3.8d?
- it seems that the patch gcc46.diff is only halfway applied in the tarball of
3.3.8d. The part which includes <cstddef> is there, but the part wich converts
ptrdiff_t into std::ptrdiff_t is not. I'd keep the patch cutting away the
first part, ok?
Tomorrow I will try to get a set of successful OBS builds, let's start
populating that repo. :)

So the right repo is tde3.5.13, not the one that
will "destroy my cat",
ok? ;)
Yup ;) Right now qt3 is only in there >_> and there are patches to
remove from it.
However, arts, libtqt4, and the dbus bindings are finished and tested,
so that can be uploaded ASAP (when qt3 succeeds in building).
Yes, got it. Now, I hope you will advice me,
regarding the correct way to
work with it. Should I make my own branch or track your suse branch or
work on your branch locally than sending you the patches? Sorry if the
question sounds stupid but I'm just a beginner with GIT.
Don't worry, no question is stupid :)
You can track my suse branch, makes life so much easier :)
I use Eclipse with the RPM Spec file editor plugin, so you might see
some metadata files there; feel free to ignore them.
(I have on record everything to tdebase (kdebase), which means other
core apps can be packaged. I have created the directories necessary
for them already, so all that's left is importing and modifying)
In .gitignore, I set ignore to backup files (~), _service:*, and .osc,
so if you initialize osc in any of the directories, rest assured,
nothing will be sent to git :)
There is a package called tde-packaging that I will push ASAP. It
contains all your %_tde_prefix and %_tde_bindir and handy directory
macros that makes packaging so much easier.
In addition, when you are calling cmake, use the following:
%cmake_tde -d build -- -DSOMEOPTION=ON
%make_tde -d build
%makeinstall_tde -d build
This ensures that everything is properly built in the right prefixes
and build directories. :)
No need to set cmake prefix or anything, that is what %cmake_tde is for.
(btw, if you want to specify any extra cmake options, you need the --)
Still, there are much more patches than I
expected, expecially in core
packages. Oh well, more patches, more glory. :)
Something to start with: if I understand correctly "qt3-3.3.8d" is
absolutely required, the qt3-3.3.8c maintained in the standard openSUSE
repo won't do the job, right? Do you mind if I try to get a working
package for it, as a start? The one on the OBS does not appear to build.
Sure. I started removing some of the "already applied" patches, feel
free to finish that.
