nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also, search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is kde specific. -gene

Different metadata displayed on files of the same type
by Steven P. Ulrick 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hello Everyone, I don't THINK I have seen this issue mentioned on this list or on the FAQ's/Documentation that we are frequently pointed to. If I missed it, I do apologize. First, check out these screenshots: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/NepomukStrigi-Metadata-Screenshot-001.png http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/NepomukStrigi-Metadata-Screenshot-002.png You will notice that on NepomukStrigi-Metadata-Screenshot-001.png only the "Is part of:" metadata is displayed. In addition to that field, in the NepomukStrigi-Metadata-Screenshot-002.png screenshot you will see the following: "Album:" "Average bitrate:" "Channels:" "Codec:" "Comment:" "Content created:" "Performer:" "Sample rate:" "Title:" "Track number:" Any ideas on what may be causing this? Permissions and ownership are the same on all files. Steven P. Ulrick

cmake guideline updates
by Kalev Lember 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hello, Fedora KDE packaging guidelines have evolved over time, but official Fedora cmake guidelines [1] are still the same that were originally accepted in 2007. I would like to propose a few changes to the example cmake spec file to bring it more in line with KDE spec files: %build -%cmake . -make VERBOSE=1 %{?_smp_mflags} +mkdir -p %{_target_platform} +pushd %{_target_platform} +%{cmake} .. +popd + +make %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{_target_platform} %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT +make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT -C %{_target_platform} %check -ctest +make test -C %{_target_platform} A few packages [2] [3] have recently had problems with the default -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON which is part of %cmake macro. Those packages didn't pass neither SHARED nor STATIC arguments to add_library() call and relied on the cmake usual default to produce static libraries. Those static libraries weren't meant to be installed; they were just used as "convenience" libraries during the build which would be statically linked into the final executable. However, if BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is defined, we get unversioned shared libraries instead of "convenience" libraries. Packagers often don't know what to do with such unversioned libraries. Perhaps it'd be better to completely remove -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON from the default %cmake macro? I would imagine that most (all?) libraries which are meant to be actually used as shared libraries contain explicit add_library(... SHARED) and set_target_properties(... PROPERTIES VERSION ... SOVERSION ...) calls, but maybe that's not how it is. Any thoughts whether removing BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON would break existing packages? Anything else in the guidelines which needs discussion?

Problem Building knutclient Against Rawhide
by Eli Wapniarski 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi Guys.... I was wondering if anybody can provide some advice. I recently received an email from bugzilla about a failure building knutclient against rawhide (aka fc14). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599985 >From the info provided in buildlogs (the relevant section included below) it would seem that there seems to be a general failure in the mock environment as the only error message in the build log seems to be that mock failed. The email I receive leads to a link: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FTBFS which requests that I set a depends on the bug report that was sent to me. However when I go searching for a bug for mock I'm confronted with agazillion bugs. (hmmm???) Do I need to pay attention to this? Is my assumption correct that this is a general failure of the mock build system for rawhide? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks Eli RPM build errors: + '%{__cmake}' -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release - DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON - DDATA_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/share/kde4/apps - DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/kde4 -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib - DLIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/libexec/kde4 -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/etc .. /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ElnCeg: line 44: fg: no job control error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ElnCeg (%build) Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ElnCeg (%build) Child returncode was: 1 EXCEPTION: Command failed.

[Fedora KDE Netbook Spin] Need Feedback
by Aditya Patawari 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi, Some of you might be aware that we are all set to roll out a KDE Netbook spin. Me, Aditya Patawari, and Hiemanshu are working on this as a part of Fedora Summer Coding. In past few days we have done some splits and have decided to remove a few packages. You can find the list here [1]. If you have any suggestions please use the talk page and tell us. If you want certain package to go then simply put it on the table for "The Packages To be Removed". If you want to vote against any removal please put your FAS name on the column against it. A complete list of packages for F13 Kde Spin can be found at [2] for reference.

Kinda fustrated with Kabc/Kaddressbook
by Arthur Pemberton 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

I always seems to have to fiddle around with it just to be able to see contact information. I've followed all the guide, all the services that I don't use are running: Nepomunuku, Sringi, etc. and when I want to see someone's telephone number, I double click on their name, and get the blank dialog. I already followed the published info for resolving this. I can't be the only one using the KDE address book, yet I am not doing anything special with it. So what should my next move be? -- Fedora 13 (www.pembo13.com)
