KDE Eye Candy

dtw · 2005-10-16 21:02:10

Hello all you KDE users!

I want to put together a temporary KDE Eye Candy repository with a view to adding all the pkgs to the AUR and then to [community] for the most popular. Some pkgs already exist in AUR but I want to tidy them up and standardize them. The name should depnd on kde-look classification. I am proposing the following names for KDE Eye Candy pkgs:

kdedecor-$name - for kwin decor pkgs
kdestyle-$name - for styles/themes
kdeicons-$name - for icon pkgs
kdesplash-$name - for splash screens

I will collate all existing pkgs with new naming schemes into a temporary repo - from there we will move them back to the AUR.

We also need to figure out exactly what the dependecies are: kdelibs, qt, kdeartwork...what?!

Hope to get some willing contributors!

REPO LOCATION UPDATED

OK I have created the temporary repo to consolidate existing PKGBUILDs.

Please report errors in PKGBUILDs or improvements here and post any new eye candy PKGBUILDs for addition. We will then add them to the AUR and public opinion will move them to [community].

You can access the repo by adding a file to /etc/pacman.d called "kdei" containing:

#
# kdei: kde eye candy pkg repo
#
[kdei]
Server = http://dtw.jiwe.org/pkgs/kdei

Add this line to pacman.conf:

Include = /etc/pacman.d/kdei

dtw · 2005-10-17 10:04:11

Yeah, I noticed the tidying I am running the beta too

Well, as I said, baghira is classified as a style on kde-look so i base the name on that - i think the main thing is it's not *just* win decor - which some of the others are Does that make sense?

dtw · 2005-10-17 10:40:34

I think the person that submits it picks the catergory actually

dtw · 2005-10-17 17:40:58

OK - I have added a few more pkgs. To be honest these are now all of the most popular from kde-look. If people still have others to add then just follow the naming scheme and put them in the AUR - only question now is how to replace those already existing in the AUR!

lucke · 2005-10-17 18:10:15

I'm not sure, but maybe packages like moodin or kdmtheme are worth adding as well? They obviously enhance the eyecandiness of login process - and actually I doubt many people out there know that such things exist at all.

Machiavelli · 2005-10-19 13:42:09

A comparison between your packages and mine:

kdei:
kdei kdedecor-crystal 0.9.5-1
kdei kdedecor-crystalgl 0.8.1-1
kdei kdedecor-knifty 0.4.2-2
kdei kdedecor-suse2 0.3-1
kdei kdestyle-activeheart 1.2.1-1
kdei kdestyle-alloy 0.5.3-1
kdei kdestyle-baghira 0.7-1
kdei kdestyle-comix 1.3.4-1
kdei kdestyle-lipstik 1.3-1
kdei kdestyle-qinx 1.4-1
kdei kdestyle-reinhardt 0.8.2-1
kdei kdestyle-thinkeramik 3.2.1-1
kde-stuff:
kde-stuff kdeimprov-k3ddesktop 0.3-1
kde-stuff kdeimprov-kbfx 4.7.3-1
kde-stuff kdeimprov-kmetabar 0.2-1
kde-stuff kdeimprov-ksmoothdock 3.5.1-1
kde-stuff kdeimprov-systemtray2 0.51-1
kde-stuff kdeimprov-yakuake 2.0-1
kde-stuff kdeqt-activeheart 1.2.1-1
kde-stuff kdeqt-baghira 20050925-1
kde-stuff kdeqt-lipstik 1.3-1
kde-stuff kdeqt-polymer 0.3-1
kde-stuff konversation 0.18-1
kde-stuff kwin-activeheart 1.1-1
kde-stuff kwin-akdc 1.0-1
kde-stuff kwin-alloyon 0.2-1
kde-stuff kwin-blueice 4-1
kde-stuff kwin-crystalgl-knifty 0.8.1-1
kde-stuff kwin-neos 0.2b-1
kde-stuff kwin-porcelain 0.2-1
kde-stuff kwin-svgdeco 0.0.1-1
kde-stuff linspireclear-style 1.11-1

They would obviously need remaking, the names being what they are and all, and also I think the deps are a bit inaccurate. But if I'll get around to it... where do you want them?

dtw · 2005-10-19 13:59:13

Well, obviously there is some overlap between those I have created and "updated" from the AUR and those in your kde-stuff repo so we'll need to weed those out and decide which are the better PKGBUILDs

Best thing to do is rename them appropriately (as you say) and then pkg them *as if for the AUR* (but don't add them) and then upload them somewhere I can get to them. Then I can check them out and add them to the kdei repo/AUR (where you can then adopt them)

The PKGBUILD for mine are in http://dtw.jiwe.org/pkgs/kdei/PKGBUILDS

Machiavelli · 2005-10-19 14:31:41

Sounds fine. If you agree to include KDE improvements as "kdeimprov-$name", I'll agree to use "kdedecor" and "kdestyle" for my "kwin" and "kdeqt" packages.

I'll get to work right away.

Edit: Seems your link is broken. :?

Edit2: Was able to figure out the link should've ended with PKGBUILDS and not PKGBUILD (duh!).

dtw · 2005-10-19 16:07:32

sorry :oops:

Yeah, kdeimprov seems fine to me - it's not exactly supposed to be hard and fast - I'm just trying to rather viciously impose a trend - they catch on pretty quick you know

Machiavelli · 2005-10-19 18:12:32

Okay, have a look at this:
http://machiavelli.homelinux.org/kde_eye_candy/

Machiavelli · 2005-10-20 15:15:44

Since it's a deco, it should be named "kdedecor-alloyon". And also, one almost like this can be found among my pkgbuilds above.

dtw · 2005-10-21 14:56:38

Well, to be honest, they are not quite up to scratch. I mean, look at yours and look at mine - mine are properly formated so make a good guideline.

Where your PKGBUILDs are a repeat of any of mine in kdei you may as well leave them as they are as we will use the one collected by me. If you could fix the others tho that would be great.

If you do want to use the license field can you ensure you include the license as per the guidelines, otherwise leave it blank. ? is not an appropriate entry for a license.

Appart from that nice collection and thank you for taking teh time to contribute

Machiavelli · 2005-10-21 22:21:45

Sorry about the pkgbuilds, they are a bit old, and I really just renamed them. I'll see if I get around to doing any real work on making them prettier anytime soon.

dibble has wrecked the path and now this repo is located at http://dtw.jiwe.org/pkgs/kdei/ ;-)

dtw · 2005-11-13 20:59:43

did I not post about that? SORRY!

archtam · 2005-11-14 16:33:34

is the link working anymore ?

dtw · 2005-11-14 19:44:33

repo location updated in 2 post for those who are a little slow on the uptake

archtam: i deleted your other post

archtam · 2005-11-14 22:05:40

This is a dead link -> http://dtw.jiwe.org

It would be good if you could please be specific to where the repo is located. Sorry i moved to arch three days ago and still trying to install things i had on my debian distro (like baghira). And the above repo doesnt work.

archtam · 2005-11-14 22:14:53

Dibble, I followed your post 2 exactly as it was written. My /etc/pacman.conf :

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# NOTE: If you find a mirror that is geographically close to you, please
#       move it to the top of the server list, so pacman will choose it
#       first.
#
# To re-sort your mirror lists by ping/traceroute results, use the
# /usr/bin/sortmirrors script.  It requires the "netselect" package.
#

# See the pacman manpage for option directives
