Agenda for the meeting: |
| 20 |
- unprefixing misc stuff |
| 21 |
- moving plasmoids to the tree |
| 22 |
- kde3 state |
| 23 |
- moving printing to the tree |
| 24 |
- upstream responses on packaging snapshots |
| 25 |
- removing dead members |
| 26 |
- pykde fixing |
| 27 |
- handling kdeprefix for base... eselect? |
| 28 |
- koffice status / what is needed |
| 29 |
- moving meeting to another date (about 2 weeks before release of upstream so |
| 30 |
we can talk about what is needed to be done for current release) |
| 31 |
- stable live status (if the guys working on it shows up ;]) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
- Removing kdeprefix for apps not in kde-base |
| 34 |
reavertm explained that the goal was to drop the kdeprefix use flag for all apps |
| 35 |
outside of kde-base and that he already started the work for it (including a rewrite |
| 36 |
of the eclasses) in the dropped-kdeprefix-on-non-kde-base branch in the kde-testing |
| 37 |
overlay. This means deprecating NEED_KDE in favor of KDE_REQUIRED and KDE_MINIMAL, so |
| 38 |
that packages are built not against the newest available KDE (when there's more than |
| 39 |
1 version) but instead to the oldest - respecting KDE_MINIMAL. |
| 40 |
There was a long discussion about kdeprefix, its purpose, benefits and alternatives. |
| 41 |
The final consensus was to follow reavertm's solution. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
- KDE3 state |
| 44 |
tampakrap explained the eclasses are ready to move all packages under /usr/kde/3.5. |
| 45 |
He's still testing ebuilds and could use the help of 2 people to test kde-misc apps. |
| 46 |
wired and jmbsvicetto offered to help. tampakrap will prepare a list of packages and |
| 47 |
we're going to search for people through the page and a mail to the dev ml. |
| 48 |
To start the work on getting KDE4 marked stable, we agreed to get this work done by |
| 49 |
the end of the month - we'll be masking 3.5.9 monos as soon as we get 3.5.10 marked |
| 50 |
stable. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
- Moving Plasmoids to the tree |
| 53 |
Plasmoids were moved to kde-misc category and will be added when they're tested |
| 54 |
with +kdeprefix |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
- Adding printing packages to the tree. |
| 57 |
We've decided to hold this until KDE-4.3. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
- Upstream response to the packaging snapshots mail |
| 60 |
No reply again. As we're being ignored, we've decied to repackage the snapshots. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
- Removing dead members |
| 63 |
jmbsvicetto will go over the retirement bugs and will send emails to the members |
| 64 |
that are MIA. He will get the team membership cleaned before next meeting. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
- pykde fixing |
| 67 |
There are some problems with having more than one pykde version with +kdeprefix |
| 68 |
as it installs files outside the prefix. The solution might be to "unprefix" it |
| 69 |
or to have a new package just with the python files. In any case, patrick was |
| 70 |
"nominated" to work on this. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
- handling kdeprefix for base ... eselect |
| 73 |
After some discussion we agreed eselect was not the solution |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
- koffice status / what is needed |
| 76 |
scarabeus informed the team that koffice-2.0 is going to be released at the end |
| 77 |
of the month and asked what we should do about it. scarabeus suggested to have |
| 78 |
the stable release hardmasked in the tree. We agreed to try to get one of the |
| 79 |
rcs in the tree before that to allow users to test it. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
- moving meeting to another date |
| 82 |
We decided to have KDE meetings at the 3rd Thursday of the month. |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
- stable live status |
| 85 |
We didn't discuss this topic. |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
As a final note, jmbsvicetto reminded people that we still have a *few* open bugs |
| 88 |
and that we should all try to help get that number down. |
