[PKGBUILD(s) request] KDE Plasma Active

I've been looking at the kde devs' posts about plasma active and i'm asking:

Is there/are there PKGBUILD(s) to build it?

Can it be built with currect KDE from extra or from the unofficial kde-snapshots' repo ?

Has anybody got interested to build it or started an effort for that ?

Is the plasma-mobile repository from git.kde.org the main source repo ?

Funny that you posted it today.  I've just started trying to build it for the first time.  No luck so far.

Should be fine with kactivities

Where does one get a hold of kactivites.  I thought that it was a part of kdelibs, but cmake doesn't seem to be able to find it.  Thanks.

Re: [PKGBUILD(s) request] KDE Plasma Active

Does anyone have an update on this? Just read about the release of plasma active 2 amd am keen to give it a try.

While I have multitouch support with my tablet, this project seems to be the only one actively developing a linux touch interface.

Gtk apps do not seem to be getting the touch love that Kde apps are.

Cheers.

Re: [PKGBUILD(s) request] KDE Plasma Active

I packaged everything in http://download.kde.org/stable/active/2.0/src/, so here we are:

contour
declarative-plasmoids
kde-artwork-active
plasma-contour-config
plasma-mobile
share-like-connect
staractive

Unfortunately, I've no time to write how to configure a plasma active setup, but this is a starting point

I packaged it all up a while back myself.  Unfortunately, I could never manage to get it to boot properly with startactive.  I could only run it from inside an already running session.

I'll keep my eye on this, and maybe give it a go myself..
