Hi, |
| 2 |
we gentoo kde devs and our herd testers would like to anounce that we have |
| 3 |
prepared new kde4 eclasses which supports working with more kdes and has many |
| 4 |
many features. |
| 5 |
I will try to give you some info about usage and so on. |
| 6 |
So first let take look under the hood (supported stuff): |
| 7 |
* koffice2 (with these eclasses you can build reasonably split koffice stuff |
| 8 |
:]) |
| 9 |
* linguas support (you have to install only languages user want) |
| 10 |
* live ebuilds support (we support by default usage of subversion ebuilds |
| 11 |
directly so you inherit the same eclass) |
| 12 |
* reworked dependency blocks (so your application will work with kde-4.1 |
| 13 |
kde-4.2 or with every version, it is your call :]) |
| 14 |
* only EAPI="2" (this you might not like but every ebuild inheriting our |
| 15 |
eclasses needs to be eapi2, sorry guys it is much simpler and cleaner) |
| 16 |
* syntax cleanup (we polished the eclass so it should be readable for most |
| 17 |
people and it should be easy to spot and fix error). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So what changes for you developers wanting to write some stuff: |
| 20 |
1) new variables (all must be before inherit of our nice eclass) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
KDE_LINGUAS="cs sr@Latn uk" # for specifying linguas in the package (These |
| 23 |
must be all specified! so if you have some .po .ts and others in your package |
| 24 |
you should fix up!) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
NEED_KDE="4.3" # this variable is used for specifying dependency on certain |
| 27 |
kde version, you should not define this variable if you are not sure, we have |
| 28 |
nice fallback. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
KDE_MINIMAL="4.3" # aproximate minimal needed kde version for your package. |
| 31 |
Can be used as DEPEND=">=kde-base/libkonq-${KDE_MINIMAL}[kdeprefix=]". |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
KDE_WANTED="4.2" # this is internal variable used for specifying deps search |
| 34 |
order. If user has kdeprefix we start version search from this version so it |
| 35 |
gets first if installed or pulled. (really usefull only for internal kde use). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
2) as example ebuilds you can browse kde-testing [1] and kde-crazy [2] |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3) we also open new ~6months long oportunity window for feature call and code |
| 40 |
cleanups :P |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Enjoy using the new eclass :] |
