[opensuse-kde] Request to change KDE Patterns for 13.1 due to upstream changes
Hi Stephan and Factory maintainers, I would like to inquire if it is still possible to make some last minute changes to the current KDE Patterns for 13.1 The reason behind is last minute changes upstream. The two changes would be: 1) Drop the current NetworkManager-kde4 in favor of plasma-nm. Beginning of this week upstream decided to drop support for NetworkManager-kde4 in favor of plasma-nm and the later is seen as the new standard NetworkManager plasmoid. 2) Suggest phonon-backend-vlc as the new MultiMedia backend instead of Gstreamer. This monring I read upstream messages that current the gstreamer backend should be considered unmaintained and this is also one of the reasons why it was never ported to Gstreame-1.0 and still uses the old Gstreamer_0.10 framework. Upstream is currently looking for a new maintainer, but the question is if they will find one. Both plasma-nm and phonon-backend-vlc are already in Factory, so it would just concern a change in the patterns. Subsequently we could also drop NetworkManager-kde4 completely. Please let us know if this change would be allowed, so that we can update the patterns in git and submit them to Factory/13.1.

I tried plasma-nm one or two weeks ago and it did not work for me. Applet appeared, but I was not able to create connections. just my 10c -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Strange. It has been working for me since they started with this plasmoid, but maybe it has some interference from NetworkManager-kde4. Did this concern all type of connections or just a particular one ? (e.g. GSM connections) Thanks Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Then it should also suggest vlc-codecs. When Packman is enabled this would install MPEG codecs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
