17 Apr '12

For those interested, I have created a series of bug tracker searches. Tim, Calvin, if possible, incorporating these queries as links in the page header would save many people time. Each search should be self-explanatory. :) ======================================= Build issue bugs: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Patches available bugs: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?que… ======================================= Usability bugs: Blocker: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Critical: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Major: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Normal: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Minor: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Trivial: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… ======================================= Enhancement and Wish List requests: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug… Have fun. :) Darrell

Release plan for R13.1
by Slávek Banko 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi all. At the meeting we discussed that would be a good release official update for 3.5.13 soon. In connection with the fact that 1 May it be just half a year since the release of 3.5.13, it occurred to me that it could be a nice term for the release official updates. Therefore I would like to discuss with you: __1__ Is this term too soon? Can it be manageable? Which patches to wait? Already have poised: + patch to close #372 + other patches from #675 + workaround for #922 + waiting for a patch for #258 + considering revert patch for #394 I would like (but want to wait?) + fix SAK. Does anyone work on it? Or temporarily turn it off? + find a solution for #812 + find a solution for #744, #615 __2__ Giving an update the new version number? Apply here mentioned a few times R13.1 (or R13.1.0)? They should be in this case, the patches in their own branch in GIT? Change the version number in the names of all packages (some are otherwise unchanged)? Or just change the version number within kdelibs and file names leave them unchanged? Or simply release already prepared packages without changing the version number? What do you think? I look forward to your comments Slávek --

List of build issues
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

This is my list of build issues. This is not a comprehensive project list. For example, I have not yet had to tackle gcc 4.7 issues. There is a pattern to these bugs. I suspect once one bug is resolved, then similar bugs follow. Blocker: 948 rosegarden: FTBFS when liblo is not installed 946 kstreamripper FTBFS 920 avahi-tqt FTBFS 872 tdesdk FTBFS Against TQt3 871 tdeadmin FTBFS Against TQt3 817 tqca: No tqca package exists for the new tqt3 790 kdemultimedia: audiofile.h configure errors 788 Kdemultimedia: Kaudiocreator won't build unless configure finds the cdda headers 597 tdebindings will not build without numerous patches Critical: 942 k3b: Can't find the TQt version of the dbus-1.0 headers (install dbus-tqt to /usr) 913 Kerberos support does not exist with any cmake converted package 873 gwenview will not build libmng support 598 tdenetwork will not build on Slackware with wifi support Major: 945 kpilot FTBFS: Can't find tqt headers 943 kmplayer: Can't find the TQt version of the dbus-1.0 headers (install dbus-tqt to /usr) 877 tdeutils: X11/extensions/extutil.h: present but cannot be compiled 818 amarok: Several build options missing with the cmake conversion Normal: 950 rosegarden: Sym Links Incorrect 940 kile: Sym Links Incorrect 939 knights: Sym Links Incorrect 933 krusader: Sym Links Incorrect 932 tellico: Sym Links Incorrect 931 kmplayer: Sym Links Incorrect 930 kdiff3: Sym Links Incorrect 627 kspell Sym Link Incorrect 626 konversation Sym Links Incorrect 613 kipi-plugins Sym Links Incorrect 347 amarok Sym Links Incorrect Minor: 947 kbarcode: unknown icon type 937 kradio: unknown icon type 935 krename: unknown icon type 934 krusader: unknown icon type 807 tdeaddons: unknown icon type 806 kipi-plugins: unknown icon type 805 tdeutils: unknown icon type 804 gwenview: unknown icon type 719 koffice: unknown icon types Darrell

TQt Rationale
by Timothy Pearson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

All, I have written a brief draft document with some of the rationale behind the TQt interface layer and the TQt conversion on the Wiki here: http://trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/TQTRationale Thank you to all who have (gently) reminded many times to get some kind of rationale written up. The current document is not complete, and I welcome questions and corrections on the provided Etherpad so that I may address all concerns from the developers here on this matter. If this works out, and I think it will, we will have features that no other KDE 3.5.10 fork can ever attain. Please keep this in mind before ripping into the implementation details; I took a significant risk in doing this and I am already seeing benefits in the existence of a viable TDE Qt4 theme engine alone--who knows what will happen now that Webkit and other libraries are suddenly available for use in TDE!

Bug tracker update
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

I updated the bug tracker. Anything related to building/compiling is now marked with the prefix 'Build issue: '. I modified the priority of a few. Most build issues are now tagged with Blocker, Critical, or Major, although there are other build issues rated lower. Possibly I missed a few. Please check your own reports and add the 'Build issue: ' prefix as necessary. With these updates, we now know which bug reports are build issues. Just search for 'Build issue: '. No need for an etherpad. :) A check box would be nice. Does bugzilla support that? http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?qui… How many? 72 reports of build issues. Yet remember that many reports are similar --- resolve one report and resolve several. Not necessarily related to build issues, there are 30 bug reports with attached patches. If we seek a way to triage the bug tracker, I recommend first focusing on Blocker reports, then Critical, then Major, etc., but within each priority, first address those with patches. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglis… I will push patches to GIT but often I need technical review and approval. Sometimes one person is sufficient but other times more when I believe a "root cause analysis" is required, such as reverting patches. As project leader, Tim is an exception and when he says push I'll push. Tim, Unless I can do this on my own, would you please add my email address to the bug tracker notification list? That way I'll know about new bug reports and can quickly tag any new report as a build issue if needed. I then can post to this list any such new reports. Darrell

Qt:: or TQt:: ?
by Darrell Anderson 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

When reviewing the source code, sometimes I see Qt:: prefixed and sometimes TQt::. Which is correct? If both are correct then how does one determine appropriate context for each? Thanks. Darrell

kpowersave now working without HAL
by Timothy Pearson 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

All, I have recently finished a initial conversion of kpowersave to work without HAL, instead relying on the brand-new TDE hardware library, which in turn works straight off of the raw device nodes in /sysfs. As this is the last remaining large HAL dependency in TDE, I would encourage the TDE developers to compile and test on their hardware, reporting bugs to this mailing list. The source code is available here: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/kpowersave-nohal/ and can be obtained via: git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/kpowersave-nohal If this works reliably, along with the udev-based media kioslave:/, I will seriously consider removing the TDE HAL dependency completely for R14.0.

Editing MNG files
by Darrell Anderson 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

In tdebase/kicker/data/kickoff, are image files that need branding updates: kmenu_active.png kmenu_basic.mng kmenu_flipped.mng kmenu_vertical.mng I updated kmenu_active.png (GIT hash d4e6607ad6a9bfc49f4dfeced379c136704714b1), but the other three are animated (MNG) files that I can't perform mere touch up with kolourpaint. To my knowledge no TDE apps support MNG editing (viewing yes, editing no). The only app I find for that is GIMP and I won't go there. Would somebody with some MNG skills look at updating those three MNG images? To update the logo, you should be able to grab the same from the kmenu_active.png I uploaded to GIT. Thank you ! Darrell

Extensive patching of inadvertent "TQ" conversions
by Darrell Anderson 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Yesterday I patched many modules with various amounts of inadvertent "TQ" conversions. Most of them were harmless because the compiler doesn't know how to spell and the inadvertent changes were consistently mispelled. Thus the packages compiled normally. The sources merely looked weird when reading the code. For example, ETQUAL vs. EQUAL, RETQUIRED vs. REQUIRED, UNITQUE vs. UNIQUE, etc. The main reason for this cleanup effort is to restore the correct "human readability" of the source code. However, a handful of the inadvertent conversions might have played a role in various bug reports. Might have. If you have a favorite pet peeve bug then please rebuild from scratch in GIT and test again. No promises. I suspect very few bugs will be resolved by this effort, but who knows? I now can see SVG images in the file preview tooltip in Konqueror as well as through the embedded viewer. I would appreciate confirmation from others with this bug (bug report 615). Darrell

SUCCESS gcc47 - tdelibs/tdebase - NO modules fail
by David C. Rankin 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Tim, Darrell, All, After a successful gcc46 build last night, I decided to try building tdelibs and tdebase on gcc47 with the exact same patch setup. SUCCESS. After installing the gcc47 patches, deleting ksycoca and starting TDE, everything was working, knemo appeared and all kcontrol modules were in place. The patches included in this build were: tdelibs: tdelibs-kdirwatch.diff tdebase: 01-kicker-lockout-applet-button-order.patc 03-kcontrol_advbg_step.patch 06-nspluginscan-xdgcompliance.patch 08-kip_kdesktop_rounded_icon_text_corners.patch tdebase-kicker-easyvector.patch tdebase-docbook-refix.diff All patches are available here for review: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/pbpkg/tde-tdelibs/ http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/pbpkg/tde-tdebase/ Now there is a CAVEAT that everyone should be very clear on. The remainder of the install was built on gcc46. ONLY tdelibs and tdebase were built with gcc47 and tdebase required '-fpermissive'. So unknown failures may still occur when the remaining dependencies are built on gcc47. However, I have a set of gcc47 packages for TDE that I will test with the new tdelibs/tdebase to determine if the current dependency builds on gcc47 are solid. If we still have issues, I will have to strip all patches from the dependencies and attempt another build on gcc47 through tdebase to confirm. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
