Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

Will the package names change to represent the upstream splitted packages?
For example will kdebase-konsole become plain konsole?
I dont see the reason to keep em like they are now (in 4.6.x).

No I'll not change the package names. They are part of some KDE module and is more easy to find an application of a module keeping the module name in the package name.

Really?  To me,

$ pacman -Ss konsole
extra/kdebase-konsole 4.6.3-1 ...
$ pacman -S kdebase-konsole

is just an unnecessary -Ss.  The use case of finding a module's applications is easily accomplished with "pacman -Sg kdebase".

Are the devs steadfastly against this or is this something that could change?  I'm willing to patch the PKGBUILDs myself if you want.

KDE Developer were at Randa and they need a bit of time to write the announcement...also KDE PIM 4.6.0 will be released together with KDE 4.6.4. KDE 4.7beta2 hasn't been tagged yet.

I'll keep original names in KDE 4.x. To avoid a lot of replaces/conflicts too.

In KDE 5.x the whole KDE structure will change and I'll rename the packages with their original names without the KDE module prefix.

I was wondering the same. Maybe because of newly introduced kdepim 4.6?

Because is built with glibc 2.14, which is bugged and will stay in [testing] until FS#24615 is fixed.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

why should our Kde 4.6.4 build with 2.14?i think we may rebuild it on 2.13.......it is too bleeding edge rely on a just-born-few-days glibc...

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

Because arch *is* bleeding edge. Why shouldn't it?

Anyway, beta 2 hasn't had a release announcement yet, although the schedule said it was to be released on the 8th. Anybody know why?

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

Experiencing buggy behavior with KWallet. I've set Kopete to store passwords to my IM account in KWallet, and when Kopete starts for the first time it asks for KWallet password. I enter it, but nothing happens — Kopete status becomes "Online" and no account gets connected. Restarting Kopete doesn't solve the issue.

Currently i'm disabling KDE KWallet subsystem in KWalletManager, enabling it again, Kopete asks for password and only then accounts connect for real.

Can somebody confirm whether it is a bug?

I'm using KDE 4.7 beta1.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

sorry for the OT (this is about KDE 4.6), but I'm getting a *lot* of mails about 4.6.4 in [testing]

KDE 4.6.4 will never hit the [extra] repository because:
1) is built upon glibc which still has some bug
2) okular, kde-baseapps and maybe others source tarballs are wrong: see http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-t … 05003.html and http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-t … 05005.html
[/OT]

4.7RC1 has been tagged.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.7

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm been watching the glibc bug smile .

Does that mean we have to wait for kde 4.6.5 5 July for kdepim 4.6.0? Just wondering. smile

I've no a plan about that yet. Maybe we should wait kdepim 4.6.1.

Probably a good idea, I think that would come with kde 4.6.5 anyway.
