Hi,
Just an alert that the quickbuild server at
http://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/ seems to be dead. A user on
the IRC channel was trying to download an iso off of quickbuild, and
when I went to check, the whole thing was down. Those of us who use it
will have to wait for Tim to fix it.

Hi,
In KDE3, kio_sftp is a kioslave with interacts with the ssh process.
This is ported to libssh in KDE4.
This was apparently working correctly until something low-level is
upgraded on distros (glibc, kernel, etc) as now it fails while
interacting with SSH because of some problem related to TTY stuff. (I've
debugged for 2-3 hours, come to very weird and interesting points but
still no fix) The bad thing that it isn't even using KProcess, it
implements its own process class.
If you write for example a python wrapper like:
import subprocess
import sys
cmd = ["/usr/bin/ssh.orig"]
cmd.extend(sys.argv[1:])
subprocess.call(cmd)
and save the original ssh binary as ssh.orig and put this wrapper as
/usr/bin/ssh, it magically works!
Do you have any idea about the issue? There's a bug report on KDE too
which is closed as fixed when the slave was ported to libssh in KDE4.
None of the codes are modified in Trinity SVN since 3.5.10 import.
This kio seems to reserve to be trashed, holy crap.

Here is http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=406411 a commit by Aaron
Seigo after which the buttons on the Kicker's taskbar ceased being visually
pushed (in classical mode).
Here is the key string in kicker/taskbar/taskcontainer.cpp:
before:
style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(),
height()), colors, sunken ? QStyle::Style_Down : QStyle::Style_Raised);
after:
style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(),
height()), colors)
I restored the missing parameter and now it works well.
Hello,
Trinity is currently undergoing a conversion from Automake to Cmake.
We are making this change because the Automake build scripts have broken
with recent versions. Cmake is saner and easier to manage, especially
with larger projects, such as Trinity. This conversion is critical to TDE
because Automake is a major blocker for the 3.5.13 release. After we have
converted to the Cmake system, building and maintaining Trinity should be
smoother and simpler.
We are looking for anyone with Cmake experience, or anyone willing to
learn, to come forward and help us with the conversion to Cmake.
Thank you,
Calvin Morrison

This is what I read in the blog of one of the Debian maintainers:
I also emailed one of my upstream maintainers to ask him about the KDE 4
version of his application and he will likely make a release soon. One of the
goals for wheezy is remove completely KDE 3 and Qt 3. If you are maintaining
a KDE 3 or Qt 3 based application, we are about to start annoying you about
this! See http://wiki.debian.org/kdelibs4c2aRemoval and
http://wiki.debian.org/qt3-x11-freeRemoval
It is interesting why they make so much effort to remove funtionality rather
than add.
