Hi all,
only let you know the repository kde-unstable is again active.
I packaged with Pierre KDE 4.3 beta2; at the moment packages are bigger than previous because we enabled the DEBUG build option, but we will disable it soon: there are few vantages and many disadvantages to keep it.
Pierre talked with Allan who said that pacman 3.3 will be out soon, so we are working to split KDE packages. Will be nice to have splitted packages in time to the new KDE release.
Cheers
This is real man, Duncan Mac-Vicar P. is working to add facebook support in Kopete. So I made a PKGBUILD to build his nice plugin, obviously you can find it on AUR.
It works with KDE 4.2 or above; you also need qjson.
Now you can chat with anyone in your facebook contact list from Kopete. It supports proxy.
Enjoy!
Hi all,
I’m working on kde 4.3 beta packages – we must be ready for the official release – so I temporally created a repository [kde-unstable] where I’m putting the packages that I built.
The repository is located at http://dev.archlinux.org/~andrea/kde-unstable/ and here I’m putting the PKGBUILDs that I’m using.
So if you want to try the new beta simply add this repo to your pacman.conf. Only i686.
Please report to me bugs which are related to a bad PKGBUILD.
Enjoy ;)
To change the Kicker menu icon you have to change ${icons_dir}/places/start-here-kde.png icon.
For example, to set archlinux-icon-crystal-128.svg, from archlinux-artwork package, as Kicker menu icon you must run this (you need librsvg):
# for i in 16 22 32 48 64 128; do rsvg-convert /usr/share/archlinux/icons/archlinux-icon-crystal-128.svg -f png -h $i -w $i -o /usr/share/icons/default.kde4/${i}x${i}/places/start-here-kde.png; done
Now re-apply your icon theme and enjoy ours logo ;)
After two months of awesome window manager, I’m back to use KDE4 on my laptop to test KDE applications.
This means I’m using Kopete instead of Pidgin, or Quassel instead of XChat, or QMPDclient instead of Sonata, etc…
Sometimes I get a Kopete crash, without any reason. Or said it better, I thought it was without any reason.
Looking on the web I found this bug report which said is libmsn faults caused by emesene MSN client.
To fix this, a patch was made an sent to Tiago Salem Herrmann which merged in libmsn SVN trunk.
I applied that patch to libmsn-4.0beta4-2 in [extra], so…enjoy with emesene people!
I applied a patch to kdebase-workspace to fix the KDE bug #187699:
In KDE 4.2.2, the calendar plasmoid uses 100% of CPU when the user try to resize or move it.
package: extra/kdebase-workspace-4.2.2-2
I applied a patch to kdelibs to fix the KDE bug #188655:
In KDE 4.2.2, Kikoff menu doesn’t get the keyboard focus anymore when opened
package: extra/kdelibs-4.2.2-4
Do you remember Repoman?
Well…I was more busy in the last months: university, arch linux and real life take me more time.
Finally this night I worked on it, so I fixed a big number of bugs:
- fixed the annoying bug #3
- devel packages (svn, cvs, git, …) now build correctly
- keep option now checks for PKGBUILD in the <package> dir. This give more sense to this option
- repoman is more verbose now: it always says what it are doing
- fixed getopts options
- after built packages repoman asks to clean the pkgs directory; it will keep PKGBUILD, .install and others files needed
- fixed others stupids bugs
All these changes are available from the release 166. Enjoy!
Since I started to use Linux, my dream was to become a developer of some popular distribution.
Today I realized that dream.
I’m the second Italian who is became an Arch Linux Developer and I’m very happy and proud for this.
Mainly my task will be to help Pierre Schmitz with KDE maintenance: we want a powerfull and stable KDE for the archers.
Also I’ll work on AUR and Pacman and I’ll continue to help archers on flyspray.
Thank you to all!!!
