[opensuse-kde] Repositories changes and Factory devel repositories.
by Cristian Morales Vega 05 May '09

05 May '09

Looking at amarok from openSUSE:Factory (no kde4-amarok, that still exists) I see: %if %suse_version > 1030 BuildRequires: libmusicbrainz3-devel %endif But at http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/809-Missing-features-in-Amarok-2.html was said that musicbrainz was not going to be implemented in Amarok2 ("MusicBrainz (we have plans for something better)"). $ osc branch openSUSE:Factory amarok Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Unknown package amarok in project KDE:Misc It seems the devel package should point to KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop instead of KDE:Misc. Then, at kde4-k3b (still not renamed) I see %if %suse_version > 1030 BuildRequires: libmusicbrainz3-devel %endif But the new k3b needs "libmusicbrainz-devel". webpin says it is available at least since 10.3, so in all supported versions, so the "%if %suse_version > 1030" probably can be removed. $ osc branch openSUSE:Factory kde4-k3b Server returned an error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Unknown package kde4-k3b in project KDE:KDE4:Factory:Extra-Apps This devel package should point to KDE:KDE4:Playground, I suppose. So, since I don't want to open a bug report just for this... take this e-mail like a formal report ;-) - Wrong devel repos - Two amarok packages in Factory - musicbrainz in k3b and amarok - In general, devel repositories from Factory should be revised. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.2 stable repo and KDE live CD respin
by Sven Burmeister 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hello everyone! As mentioned in the meeting's summary we made a plan on how to get stable default repos for the respin of the KDE live CD, which includes Openoffice, firefox etc. and of course KDE 4.2. The problem about this is that currently if the user installs the live CD, it would have to add the Factory repos, which will change to KDE 4.3 at some point. Since the live CD users did not add the factory repos themselves they should not be bothered with finding out when they have to change them again to avoid KDE 4.3 betas or even alphas. So the plan is as follows: - Get KDE 4.2.2 in factory to a state that does not contain any critical bugs or regressions compared to 4.2.1. - Create a KDE 4.2 repo by copying the files from the Factory repo. The KDE 4.2 repo is opensuse stable, i.e. frozen. The repo will not see any 4.2.3 version and only really, really important patches are added after the creation. - Let the respin use that frozen repo. - Post on opensuse-kde and blog about the stable repo, i.e. tell people to change their repos. - Wait some weeks. - Move KDE 4.3 to Factory. This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets filled with KDE 4.3. The respin can use stable repos and users get the same experience as if 11.1 was released with KDE 4.2.

To handle with bug days in Community Week * It feels rather lame to work on just sorting out bugzilla reports instead of actually working on them * 4.2.3 will go into openSUSE Factory before 4.3beta1 == Disable nepomuk/strigi by default == * It was decided to disable this for 11.2 now due to the combination of performance risks and the lack of clients, but to monitor how they develop. Sebastian Trueg, the Nepomuk architect, attended and agreed with this course of action. He expects participation to increase now. == Default backend for nepomuk == * Deferred due to decision above and lack of alternative backends eg virtuoso == KDE systemsettings' kdm settings are ignored (autologin etc.), which confuses users. == * Deferred == openSUSE Community Week content (11-17 May) == * Bug days * KDE upstream developers to attend specific days * Interest in developing default config and patterns, as long as it is productive and not demands for a KDE 3 replica * Interest in packaging workshops to get more upstream code packaged == Q/A, Misc == * Still lack of agreement about whether KDE:42 should be pegged to 4.2.2! * The artwork in NM-kde4 needs work == Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bugreports policy (wstephenson) * flip Nepomuk default to off, and check possible to enable (wstephenson) * ensure updates in factory for Amarok 2.1 (wstephenson) * put together a howto for crossdistribution packaging of kde applications (bittin`) * do last of http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Ideas/11.2#Packaging_Issues (Seli) * make desktop-data and kdebase4-SUSE public (Seli) * package virtuoso soprano backend (Seli) * Document technical means of renaming and replacing kde3 (llunak, wstephenson, dirk) * participate in opensuse-factory discussion eg USB stick storage (everyone) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[Fwd: Re: [opensuse-kde] Re: [opensuse-packaging] Switching to gcc 4.4]
by Raymond Wooninck 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi, After some hours I managed to resolve all the GCC44 specific building errors and I have submitted the patches to the packages in Community and Playground. See below statistics: KDE:KDE4:Playground 2 Package failed : Koffice2 and Qtscript-qt. (Patch submitted to Qtscript-qt.) KDE:KDE4:Community 7 packages failed of which 5 packages due to GCC44 specific errors. I have submitted/accepted the patches for kmldonkey-kde42, kover, psi and recoll. I have submitted the patch for cln, which should then resolve the two expansion errors. The other 2 packages are : Lithium: Issue with the desktop-file (icon not installed). Question here is if we would really still require another powermanager, while we have powerdevil inside KDE4 ? Plasmoid-nvdimmer: Issue with rpmlint. two non-void functions do not return a value, so rpmlint is reporting an error on this. Will contact the packager for this one. With this all packages in Community and most of the Playground packages are ready for the switch to GCC44. I will keep the GCC44 repository active, so that we can validate new packages on GCC44 specific errors.

[opensuse-kde] Hidden SSID / Wireless Network
by Tony 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Is there away to get kde4-networkmanager to be able to connect to hidden wireless networks ? On my laptop (dell 1505 with iwl3945 wireless card) kde4-networkmanager connects fine to non-hidden wireless and wired networks. For whatever reasons hidden wireless network(s) never show up in the kde4-networkmanager wireless list A iwlist wlan0 scan shows, the hidden network have been discovered. I can use kde3-networkmanager and it finds and connects to hidden networks just fine. I've tried various suggestions I've found in forums and list(s) but none work.

Both repositories have completed the build and this is the outcome : KDE:KDE4:Playground 1 Package failed : Koffice2 KDE:KDE4:Community 8 packages for i586 and 9 packages for x86_64 failed. Most of them are related to missing includes. I will branch those which I am not maintaining to my home-project and provide a fix for it, which I will then submit. If deeper analysis is required, I will contact the maintainer or developer directly. Overall I think that this is pretty good as we have more than 100 packages in Community. So we could say that we are ready for the switch to GCC44 Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
