What does this mean for how KDE3 will get built for Tumbleweed as changes come along? Does this just take KDE3 out of the automatic build on every change group? I've not looked at what update-desktop-files does in detail, but this sounds like it may negatively effect KDE3?
Simply saying, nothing should change. "%suse_update_desktop_files" macro included in update-desktop-files package had been responsible for merging translations at the upstream (=KDE) and the SUSE for a long time. Normally, translation efforts should be submitted to upstream, so this macro has been changed to generate patches to facilitate as the first step towards deprecation. However, this patch generation has few meaning in our KDE3. This is because upstream maintenance has already ended. So I decided to remove macro and in advance. Of course, if just remove this macro, the translation results will be lost, so added as a separate patch.
I recall build times, but I thought with all the high-powered hardware suse/openSUSE has it wouldn't take that long to build. I recall building on a Pentium and that did take 4 hours, 7 if koffice was being built.
As shown in recent kdelibs3's build log, a 4 hour build was reduced to 444 seconds (= 7.4 minutes), by removing "%suse_update_desktop_files" macro. https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/KDE:KDE3/kdelibs3/15.6/x86... -- Yasuhiko Kamata E-mail: belphegor@belbel.or.jp
