Latest updates

I spent most of yesterday afternoon and today updating my repository and building new packages for the first time since January. Late today I updated my system with those packages. A whole bunch of things blew up. Launch feedback stopped; I was being interrupted continually by kwallet/tdewallet, which I don't use; mimetypes were screwy; kmail wanted passwords; and whatever else I'm not remembering now that I've regained some sanity and composure. I needed about three hours to repair the confusion as well as debug what happened. Good thing I have a good backup strategy. Everything was traceable to the recent renaming rampage. The biggest problems were creating new rc files but not transferring the contents from the old rc files --- or renaming the old rc files, as well as the renaming of khtml->tdehtml and kfile- >tdefile. I pushed patches to update the migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update scripts. Even if you have already run the r14-xdg-update script some time ago, do so again using the 'force' parameter in order to benefit from the latest patch, which will update affected files. Be sure to do this before starting Trinity. There might be additional files affected that I am unaware and were not part of the patch set. Darrell

What is the global floating taskbar and Configure Taskbar menu?
by Darrell Anderson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

While testing bug report 1399 after building the latest package set, I notice a note at the bottom of the taskbar configuration dialog mentioning the global floating taskbar and to use the Configure Taskbar menu. I have no idea what this floating taskbar is and I cannot find any Configure Taskbar menu item. Bug report 1399 remains open --- toggling the 'Show application Icons' check box has no effect on my system. Darrell

kradio -> tderadio

If the app is being renamed then how about renaming the GIT source parent directory too? Likewise with kdmtheme -> tdmtheme. Darrell

Why isn't the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script doing that? Second, when I try to run git submodule update, I get the following failure: Submodule path 'main/applications/amarok': checked out '0032b853a65c3b109049d8e321e1129643c036e1' Submodule path 'main/applications/fusion-icon': checked out '0305e778e8060720a09eaf2d8d2b7356e52b6b89' Submodule path 'main/applications/gtk-qt-engine': checked out '420c78c73d2b35b815082850a6586ef1da6f7c43' Submodule path 'main/applications/gwenview': checked out '70f05472bf59e5a63ccbff4f077382859b4abc67' Submodule path 'main/applications/kio-umountwrapper': checked out '7048da84fc926fffd2284dbce0808f1c57eb8742' Submodule path 'main/applications/twin-style-crystal': checked out '76f5da53a3454dbc2c45b655dcc63b89429d569c' Submodule path 'main/dependencies/qt3': checked out 'd10d2321a34ab6c157bdf2a2e900c0ee52f1bd79' Submodule path 'main/dependencies/tqt3': checked out 'cb6a50aa2564adf03b5ccd87b8ee0e68947d3a61' Submodule path 'main/libraries/libtqt-perl': checked out 'f25e1484a541819387ed7f9d6aa98e49fb7626fa' Submodule path 'main/tde-construct': checked out 'd78f33315c6d5acdb8cb801751d37058dc4137a3' Submodule path 'main/tdebase': checked out 'd09a22af8ed75196f9b7acbd6057c5cd064d9ac3' Submodule path 'main/tdegraphics': checked out 'd2151830b92cef57979150ed058c5f28fc4aef35' Submodule path 'main/tdelibs': checked out '27bbee9a5f9dcda53d8eb23863ee670ad1360e41' Submodule path 'main/tdepim': checked out '04d3010f7abb47f47ac6b328a408cc855cb9af4b' Submodule path 'main/tdeutils': checked out 'a7255b5637740fa13af67580ed48861d3b040a26' Submodule path 'main/tdewebdev': checked out 'ea808784e9b2965fc2d9a4c471b987fb62e265ac' fatal: destination path 'scripts' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Build failures with latest GIT

I have several packages that will not build, such as k9copy, koffice, kcmautostart. All fail with the same error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no TDE libraries installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! How to fix? Darrell

Proposed changes commit_all_submodules
by Slávek Banko 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello everyone, During the current work on repairing unintended renames I often use to bulk commit commit_all_submodules script. That's why I worked on some of the improvements. The first change is that I moved "git pull" after check whether in the module are any changes to push to the server. The advantages are two: 1) If the module does not contain changes, it is omitted both - pull and push. Step to pushing changes to the server can be significantly faster. 2) In general commit to 'tde' are not included unrelated changes in the modules in which was pushed commits from some other developers. The second change is that I added to "git pull" option --rebase. The advantage is that if changes were made on both sides - on the server and also in the local git clone, then instead of merge temporary local branch are local changes "rebased" to current HEAD on the server in order to maintain linear history without unnecessary merges. As you can see on my commits to master 'tde' repository. What is your opinion on the use of "--rebase"? Note: Attached is both - both script and diff. Slavek --
