KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

hi

greetings

Go for it

I'm planning to reinstall soon anyway, doesn't matter that much if I mess up even more

For every KDE release there are plenty of new exciting features. For every Gnome release, they found more features to remove </troll>

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

I think it should go to unstable, rather than testing.

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

for me it runs stable so far, no problems with other kde apps,
that i use (k3b,kdetv or amarok)
i will put it into my TUR because for unstable repo it should perhaps have beta2 or rc status, but hey one week to think about it where to put it
i need 8 hours to upload (beside from 14hours to build) the stuff that's the reason for this thread

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

too late everything is built without debug
but kde links against so many other libs that are built without debugging so it will not be very significant.
i had no crash up to now so debugging was not needed

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

Tpowa, are there any things in there that require dependencies updated on the base system? I would like to make those shared across gnome 2.9 beta and kde 3.4 beta, since both are releasing final versions at about the same time (gnome will have API freeze next week, only a few weeks until first betas arrive, etc, you know the drill).

It would be nice if experimental users could test both at the same time. Gnome currently doesn't build anything against KDE stuff, but gnome requires some things in the rest of arch to be updated and added. I don't think that's different for KDE too.

I keep all my changes in CVS at http://jgc.homeip.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi , which is down at this moment until wednesday when I come home from Norway to fix my server.

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

Everything works fine so far. But where's KGet? O_o Did some mischievous monster devour it? That makes me sad.

Thanks for the packages.

Cheers,

Something went wrong.

No plastik, problem with fonts.

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

I have plastik and the fonts are fine, kget is there too.  I did have a problem trying to install:

error: apache conflicts with apr

...but I just added apr and apr-util by hand and then all was fine.

I do not notice anything too different from 3.3.

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think "I put a package in my tur" really needs to be front page news...

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

OK, I lied,  plastik is missing, but the fonts are ok.  try removing your temp stuff in /tmp and /var/tmp to get them to be ok.

Re: KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

OK, I am really out of it.  Plastik is there, but you have to remove everything in /tmp and /var/tmp and move your old ~/.kde out of the way to get things to work. 

My only issue (other than getting it installed) has been an artsd crash on login, which I think is fixed by doing the 1 second auto-suspend trick and chosing alsa under the hardware tab rather than autodetect.

Also, I get a segmentation fault upgrading kdeutils, tried on 2 different machines.  It works the second time though.
