That's a step forward. I was looking at
dbus-tqt and tqtinterface earlier
today. I need to change the qt-3.3.8d dep to qt-meta-3.3.8d, but after
that
I should be able to test and upload. That should be everything we need
to get started on kdebase.
Well, qt-meta, tqtinterface and dbus-tqt should be
working fine from the
github-repo.
I ran into some other problem though with one or two other ebuilds not
finding "tqglobals.h" or similar. Those tqt-header files are located in
/usr/include/tqt and not /ust/qt/3/include. So the path needs to be added
to the configure options but i am not sure what the best way is to do
that... But currently this is only for trinity-misc/kshutdown ( just ran
sed over the files, which seems very silly to me, there has to be a better
way).
Automounting is itself optional, though--I don't
use it.
I always liked the automount feature;)
The above code is approximately what I used while
installing my Trinity
tester (just the path is different). If the hal use flag is on, it asks
for
HAL and compiles it in, or should (I don't think I ever actually took it
as far as fetching/installing HAL, I just tested to make sure the
dependency
was working). If not, it doesn't ask and compiles anyway. Basically it's
the
same setup as KDE3 had before HAL was deprecated. I had intended to add
some messages ("you are compiling this package without HAL support,
and therefore automounting may not work"/"you are compiling this
package with HAL support--please be aware that HAL is unmaintained
and bugs caused by it will be ignored"), but never quite got that far.
It's probably best to have the flag on by default, now that I think
about it. The people who want to avoid HAL are more likely to
read the fine print than those who just want automounting to work.
Yes i think
it's a good idea to include hal, but we should look out for
blockers (there were some i think from pciutils if i remember correct)
I did strip some stuff out of qt3.eclass earlier today
that had been
marked as
deprecated--I think we can safely say that anything having to do with
pre-slot
versioning is obsolete. There may be a few other functions like that
around.
After looking closer at the eclasses... uhhmmm lets keep them around until
they have absolutely no use. Diving in there might be hard and not get us
very far... I did patch the following though to get rid of the kde3-dir
(also some 'designer-plugins' weren't found)
- export kde_widgetdir="$KDEDIR/$(get_libdir)/kde3/plugins/designer"
+ export kde_widgetdir="$KDEDIR/$(get_libdir)/trinity/plugins/designer"
- renaming
only the categories -> users have to "emerge
trinity-base/kdebase-startkde"
- Changing the prefix to /usr/tde/3.5/
nothing more!
I think that's probably the best way to go for this release.
Ok, if you can take a look at the repository i think the stuff in there
should be working for x86/amd64.
There is also a Documentation/TODO with packages i haven't gotten around
to or couldn't get working yet like kdeartwork or kde-i18n..
Ah. We should probably have a metadata.xml too.
Uhm... whats that for again?
It's mostly just a description of the
category. We can probably
steal the one for kde-base and do a search-and-replace on "KDE".
That
should do it.
Hehe, if you
can't get github working i can also setup a repo on my own
server..
I'm pretty sure it's my weird browser setup--the account exists,
as I
found out when I tried to recreate it, but my login attempts don't
register.
I'll try tomorrow with a different Firefox profile, and/or Chromium and/or
the command-line git client. If none of those work, then we can worry.
To be able
to push into the repo i need to give you access and you need to
upload your pubkey to github if i remember correct...
1. Only the
first click on the K-Menu gives me a "Malformed URL"-Error.
I haven't
seen that one (I did have a hellish time when I first installed
because
environment variables weren't being set, but I eventually figured that
out).
Fixed! I was missing the kdebase-kioslaves.
2. via ALT+F2
Launcher i can run firefox, thunar, evince, gimp (i guess
all X11-progs), but cant seem to get a simple urxvt or other
console-tool
running. Anyone know what this error could be?
No clue.
Also fixed, though i
don't really know why it wasn't working before...
firefox and urxvt were in the same PATH and only firefox worked... anyway
i changed the startkde-script and now it seems working fine.
Very good! I
don't know how much distro-differences are in the
linker-part.;)
None in the software itself as far as I know, but the default
options
chosen can be very different.
Oh linker.. i had fun with that getting kshutdown
working it always
complains about unknown option "--sort-common". Can't help you there much
though.
PS: kontact is next on my todo does it really hard-depend on knotes now?
greetings,
Roman
