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?
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!
