Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just want to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who has taken up my offer of |
| 4 |
testing the Kontact ebuild. My apologies if I haven't replied to thank you |
| 5 |
in person! There was a lot more interest than I imagined ;-) |
| 6 |
|

Here's the current situation on the ebuild, as I understand it. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The ebuild itself appears to install Kontact just fine (after a couple of |
| 10 |
typos in the DEPEND were fixed ;-), and Kontact appears to work very well |
| 11 |
too. I've had one report of a possible gcc-3.3-related problem to do with |
| 12 |
the pilot-link dependency, one report that the OpenGPG plugins may not work |
| 13 |
(although they do on my machine), and one report that Kolab may not like |
| 14 |
glibc-2.3.1-r4. Other than that, things seem to be good with the ebuild |
| 15 |
itself. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
After talking with pauldv from the KDE, we've agreed that this ebuild can go |
| 18 |
into Portage - but it will remain masked for the time being. This version of |
| 19 |
Kontact overwrites parts of the original KDE install, and this is against our |
| 20 |
ebuild policy. pauldv has volunteered to look into what it would take to |
| 21 |
create an accompanying kdenetwork ebuild that could be used to help Kontact |
| 22 |
be more compliant. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
On the Kolab front, Erik Gjertsen has emailed me with details of a Kolab |
| 25 |
client ebuild, which I'm hoping to get to look at over the weekend. There's |
| 26 |
no news yet of a Kolab server ebuild. |
| 27 |
|

Best regards, |
| 29 |
