OnlyShowIn vs. NotShowIn
by Darrell Anderson 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Along with Trinity I have KDE4 installed, mostly for testing and comparisons. When I use OnlyShowIn=KDE; in a desktop file, the item still appears in the Trinity launcher menu. When I use NotShowIn=TDE; the item disappears. The former option should work just as well as the latter. Can anybody else confirm this bahavior? Second, is this a bug with Trinity? Thanks. Darrell

Nightly builds update
by Timothy Pearson 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

All, Please be advised that the nightly builds repository will be in an inconsistent state for the next few days as the entire archive is rebuilt following recent changes to the common build system files. As a result, the nightly builds may crash or fail to operate properly until the rebuild is complete. Therefore, users of the nightly builds are encouraged to hold off on applying updates for the next few days. Thanks! Tim

Testing apps for R14.0.0 release
by Darrell Anderson 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi folks, A request to everybody involved to start spot-testing apps. Not the apps you use everyday but the less-used apps. Make sure they open without errors --- starting from konsole is good for that. Spot test that nothing unusual happens with configuration dialogs, etc. We are starting to look pretty good as we move toward an R14.0.0 release. Spot testing apps will help avoid embarassments. :) Thanks! :) Darrell

tderadio has no icon in the application launcher menu
by Darrell Anderson 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

I'm working on bug report 1463 adding nominal fixes to ensure a consistent look in the application launcher menu. There is no icon with tderadio. I don't know whether this is a build or detection problem. Any ideas where to troubleshoot? Thanks. :) Darrell

This discussion brings up a long-standing idea I have had. I would like to add a "Why TDE?" page to the website; this should contain a brief set of paragraphs explaining why users like yourselves have chosen to use TDE versus another desktop. Entries should not engage in bashing other desktops, but should instead highlight unique features of TDE that, singly or in unison, have swayed you to choose TDE for use in a particular setting. Thoughts on this? Thanks!

BLFS trintiy instructions.
by l0ner 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi. If I remember correctly there was someone who was writing instructions for BLFS book on compiling and getting to work TDE on LFS. I remember using those instructions while writing PKGBUILDs for arch, since those instructions were nicely detailed. I wanted to look at them, now that I'm trying to compile TDE on my Gentoo installation. But now they have vanished and I can't find them anywhere. Any hopes on mirrors or direct contact with the person that was writing them? l0ner

Friendly notice: Big patch push coming
by Darrell Anderson 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi folks, I will be pushing patches to update docbook related files. The reason for the changes is to avoid potential conflicts with files of the same name in KDE4 as reported in bug report 1446. These patches affect GIT main trunk only. The core of the changes are to the common/admin directory and renaming files in tdelibs, although many modules are affected by this renaming. The changes to the common/admin files is the reason for this notice because the main servers have to replicate those changes to all other submodules. Updating your entire local GIT repository during this period could mean build failures. I tested the patches with full build runs and found no problems. All help handbooks compile and work as expected. From a user perspective nobody will notice any differences. These patches only affect compiling. I plan to push the patches after posting this message. Before updating your local repository, please allow ample time for the main servers to replicate the changes in common/admin to all modules --- usually performed overnight. After resyncing your local repository, a simple test to verify all files have updated correctly is to grep your entire local repository for kde-chunk.xsl. There are other changes too, but there should be no such occurrences because the file is being renamed to tde-chunk.xsl and all internal references as well. Please let me know here should you notice build failures or problems related to the help handbook (docbbook) files. Probably a good idea to spot check the handbooks after installing updated packages. :) Thanks!
