Well, not sure. You did a lot of maintenance already (TDE on arch and so on). I still have not got my hands dirty with it, just periodically trying to look into something. You gave me some credit I have not deserved :(
BR,
Call it hopeful encouragement :) I'm serious about work on KDE3 for 42.3. All I need is a cheat-sheet for the build order, etc.. I presume it is just a master .spec that generates subpackages (or even better, a collection of one .spec per package that would build and apply the current patch sets against the old kde 3.5.10 source tree -- that would make maintenance much easier) I have several spare servers with several terabytes unused that I'm happy to put toward the KDE3 build, if someone is currently building KDE3 locally, it would really cut down the amount of time it would take me to come up to speed if I had a cheat sheet rather than bumbling through the setup myself. I have the complete 3.5.10 tree available (in tree and tgz form) from when it was still hosted on kde.svn.org, but I don't yet have the current srpms. With TDE on Arch, I simply maintained a separate PKGBUILD dir for each package with any associated patches and scripts required and would build from alsa, Qt3, and then build though the remaining desktop components via a bash script that would coordinate any needed patches per component, building the entire desktop, including the ancillary apps like koffice, kdewebev, etc... Is Ilya still the one doing most of the building? I guess he would be one place to start to find this info. If you have any more info on this let me know. -- David C.
