Perl expert needed
by Darrell Anderson 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Skilled with perl? Here are some nuisance bug reports that need resolving: 719 Koffice: unknown icon types (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=719) 804 gwenview: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=804) 805 tdeutils: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=805) 806 kipi-plugins: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=806) 807 tdeaddons: unknown icon type (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=807) All we need to know is how to rename the problematic files and I'll create the patches. My troubleshooting reveals the build warnings are caused by the way the perl scripts parse the names of the file names. The perl scripts are looking for specific prefixes in the file names. The trick is to figure out the correct file name. That's where the perl skills are needed. For example, the problematic files in gwenview are imageops.svg and imageops.svgz. I can resolve the problem by renaming those two files to hisc-action-imageops.svg and hisc-action-imageops.svgz. I lack perls skills to resolve the other bug reports. The specific perl script that parses the file names is named am_edit and is located in the admin directory of each package. Search each am_edit script for the error message reported in the bug report. That will bring you to the section of code that causes the error messages. For example, for gwenview, search for "unknown icon type" in am_edit and the previous lines of code will be how the script parses the file names. Please let me know whether you need further information. Thank you! Darrell

http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git footer links to kernel.org pages broken
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Tim, The footer urls for 'Git Tutorial' and 'Git User's Manual' lead to 404 page not found on all http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git pages. For example, at the bottom of each page, the links are: Git Informations -------------------------- Git Tutorial = http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html Git User's Manual = http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html Clicking on either results in: Not Found The requested URL /pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html was not found on this server. No biggie, just passing it along... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

arch pkgbuild - direct git download - prototype (rough)
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Archers, Please look at the attached PKGBUILD for libart-lgpl. It pulls the source either directly from the git tree on the local machine (after updating it), or it clones directly from scm.trinitydesktop.org. I looked over the existing pkgbuilds that use git in one form or another in ABS and this is my prototype for how we could do the remaining build scripts. Let me know what changes you propose. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE3 STUFF - mimicking Rosa KDE4 UI - for Mandriva 2011.0:
by Keith Daniels 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Has anyone seen this page? Checking into what they are doing "might" provide some useful information or ideas for Trinity developer's since they are running KDE 3 apps side by side with KDE 4 apps... ----------------- August 27th, 2011 KDE3 STUFF is a new MIB project for the upcoming Mandriva 2011.0 You can use this as a layer to port cleanly your other preferred KDE3 programs into KDE4, or you can ask to MIB to port some old KDE3 programs for you. http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=135629 Keith

Reviewing archlinux patches from git.
by Calvin Morrison 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Archers - Tim, I am reviewing these patches now. dbusfix.patch - is a arch specific compiler fix. It is hardcoded and should not be sent upstream. Don't merge. kicker-lockout.patch - this is kind of silly, it allows you to either switch the spot of either Lock or Logout. It doesn't seem entirely useful. Especially not if I can push my changes for kickers logout before R14. I know extra configuration is good - but this seems to be manual solution. I think it would be better to have these items operate as regular entries, that way users could move/add/remove them as pleased. I wouldn't merge doc_location.patch - is a fix for cmake's HTML_INSTALL_DIR. changes the destination from /doc/kde/HTML to /doc/HTML. Maybe this should be /doc/tde/HTML? either way I would merge it. kcontrol_advbg_step.patch - "this patch modifies the step of refresh time in advanced background settings of kcontrol step instead of being 5 is 1, the maximal value of refresh time is incremented too." - I am not sure this makes anything better or worse. I haven't had any problems with kcontrol's background. Pawel? nsplugincontainer-xdgcomplaince.patch - Apparently makes this xdg compliant. I need someone to review this as well. bigger_title_icons_in_kcontrol.patch - changes the hardcoded size of icons from 22 to 48 - not sure what value it adds, or if really needs to be changes.

tqt3 twin-style-crystal compile error
by Jay 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Building from tqt3 onwards all compiles for me (slackware 13.37) When compiling twin-style-crystal it stops at the error that qvariant.h was not found. Adding --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/tqt/Qt/ during configure finds the file but then stops with the error: In file included from configdialog.h:12:0, from crystalconfig.cc:43: /usr/include/tqt/Qt/qvariant.h:45:28: fatal error: QtCore/qatomic.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [crystalconfig.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal/client/config' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal/client' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/twin-style-crystal' make: *** [all] Error 2 This file (QtCore/qatomic.h) does not exists anywhere in the git tree or the local system.

In keditcl.h, installed by tdelibs, is the following: class TDEUI_EXPORT_DEPRECATED KEdit : public TQMultiLineEdit What does that mean to any code wanting to use that function? That is, how should the code be updated to call that function? Darrell

Documentation Review List
by Kristopher John Gamrat 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hi, As was pointed out by Darrell Anderson, a documentation review board is needed. I have started a list on the Etherpad. This list is currently rather incomplete as I have not yet gone through any of the documentation, and I therefor do not have a thorough knowledge of everything that needs updating. The list on the Etherpad should list known changes that need to be made to the documentation, and should allow anybody interested in maintaining documentation to claim the documentation for specific apps that they use on a regular basis. The list of apps that is on the Etherpad is currently incomplete. I currently not have time to go through the packages to list all of them as I have some stuff in real life that I need to do, so the first several items on the apps list are just categories copied from the source downloads page. Feel free to expand them if you can. If you do not trust your technical writing skills, perhaps you can simply check the docs for apps you are interested in and report needed changes that you see. -- Kris Gamrat
