[opensuse-kde] bluedevil vs. libbluedevil
by todd rme 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

There is a bit of a strange situation going on with bluedevil and libbluedevil. Bluedevil is not yet at a stable release. Libbluedevil, though, is apparently at a stable release (1.8). So it makes sense keeping bluedevil in playground and keeping it in sync with git, but libbluedevil is a bit more questionable. However, libbluedevil is currently pretty much useless with bluedevil, since that is the only application making use of it in the openSUSE repos. So to me that makes the question of whether we should have libbluedevil in playground, extra, or distro less clear. Kbluetooth, which bluedevil is intended to replace, is in Distro, but there isn't any software making use of bluedevil in Distro. However, once bluedevil is stable, which doesn't seem like it will be that much longer, I assume it will be moved to Distro. You could always move them both together, but the way buildservice operates there really doesn't seem to be any benefit to that unless the plan is to move both to Extra (which I don't think is a good idea since bluetooth support is pretty essential and kbluetooth is essentially obselete). We can't get rid of kbluetooth yet because bluedevil still does not work for as many devices as kbluetooth and isn't entirely stable. If libbluedevil does stay in playground, that also leads to the question of whether it should follow the stable releases or keep with the git snapshots. Snapshots are in line with having it in playground, but may not be as stable as the official releases. Further, currently the latest git snapshot of libbluedevil in playground is older than the latest official stable release. I set up my own build that uses the stable release, but there is no point submitting it if the plan is to stick with the git snapshots. Any thoughts? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Last call for remaining KDE3 applications in openSUSE:Factory
by Karsten König 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hello everybody, http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_KDE3_packages lists every remaining kde3 application the opensuse-kde team has to take care of that is inside openSUSE:Factory. Target is to reduce the amount of KDE3 applications inside openSUSE:Factory as most are unmaintained or replaced by ports or similar new applications. So if you care about any application on that list comment on it's status and what you think about it (pro / con removal, replacement), even a small comment can help evaluating it. Any non-commented entry is free to be dropped after 2 weeks time (next meeting is on thurday the 30th of september, 16 UTC)! Dropped packages will remain in KDE:KDE3 repository, so as long as they build/are maintained they won't be gone. Please don't add any new applications, if you want to suggest something please do it here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_ideas Regards, Karsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

by Erwin Lam 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hello, I would like to try out "recoll" as a desktop search tool but when I tried to install it from the openSUSE 11.3 KDE Extra repository, Yast complained that the "antiword" package could not be found anywhere. Can somebody please add the antiword package to the openSUSE 11.3 KDE Extra repository?

by Andreas Jaeger 16 Sep '10

Currently, we have in openSUSE Factory the broken choqok 0.6.6 that does not work with twitter oauth. Could you replace that one with a working version, e.g. the one from KDE Playground, please?

[opensuse-kde] Kalzium and avogadro
by todd rme 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Avogadro allows kalzium to display and edit molecular models, a pretty useful tool especially for scientists. However, it is a build-time dependency, and it is not present in the KDE Distro repositories or the base openSUSE repositories, meaning openSUSE's version of Kalzium does not support it. This is understandable since avodgadro did not build for recent Qt versions, so it was not possible build it on more recent openSUSE releases. I have fixed this problem, so avogadro now builds successfully. Normally this would not be that big a deal, someone could just link avogadro from its current home in OBS Education and modify the spec file (I could even do that). The problem is that avogadro also has several build-time and run-time dependencies that are not found in KDE Distro or the base openSUSE repositories, they are only found in OBS education. So, if my understanding is correct, getting avogadro to build successfully would require adding those dependencies to KDE Distro as well. Is that acceptable? I could do this easily enough, but I don't want to unless I have some idea whether it would be accepted or not. I guess a more general question is: should we be trying to get as many of the optional features of the packages working as possible, she would only limit it to critical features or those that can be built from the default openSUSE repos, or should it be handled on a case-by-case basis? Another example is xplanet, which provides support for rendering the 7 other planets in kstars but is only found in the hamradio repo. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
