- Are there any apps that have not been converted to
cmake?
The majority have NOT been converted, but the automake build system has been repaired for the remaining apps and therefore works perfectly with the latest versions of Autotools. The main ones that are production ready are:
tqtinterface arts kdelibs kdebase
Others have been converted but I am not using the CMake versions of them in the Debian/Ubuntu builds, so I cannot vouch for completeness/correctness of the build files.
Therefore use cmake for those four packages and automake for all others?
- Is 3.5.13 going to include bug fixes or is the
conversion to cmake the
limit for that release?
YES! Lots of bug fixes are in SVN; see http://trinitydesktop.org/patches/ for a taste of what is to come.
I ask because I submitted many bug reports and most of them remain open. A handful are critical if I am to migrate from KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity. If I had to whittle my list to a few hopefuls for 3.5.13:
293 Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory 388 KDESU Dialog Box Behavior 393 Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate 394 Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu 296 New Trinity Profile Error Messages 335 Konqueror Icon Activation Effect 389 Activation Effects 385 Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop 303 Safely Unmount does not always remove the icon from the desktop 258 ksmserver: Logout confirmation fadeaway is too slow with older hardware
Some or all of these bugs might have been resolved without the developer being aware of a bug report. Building and testing the packages will go far to help and might be the only way to confirm the bug is resolved. I hope to attempt building soon, which is why I started this thread, but did not want to start if development was still in arrears.
