Distribution list for KMail/Kontact
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

I'd like to create (and use) a Distribution List. My setup is slightly complicated, though not I think unusual. I'm actually running IMAP to access email on my server from my laptop. I am running Fedora-13 on my laptop, with kdepim-4.4.4, but am running CentOS-5.5 on my server, with kdepim-3.5.4. I see that in KMail on my laptop, Folder=>Mailing List Management is greyed-out. At the same time, Message=>New Message to Mailing-list is not greyed-out, though clicking on it just seems to bring up the standard New Message window. Is there actually any way of setting up a distribution list within this setup? If not, could I run mailman or a similar distribution list program on my server, given that I am not running a mail server? Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

kdepim (again. sorry.)
by Rolf Offermanns 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi All, I lost track in the kdepim discussions. Is is possible to try the akonadi based kmail(2?) or not. I have kdepimlibs-4.4.92 and kdepim-libs-4.4.5 installed. But there is only one kdepim(-4.4.5) package. Which libs will be used? Is this already the "new" kmail? I am really confused. Thanks, Rolf

I changed GreeterScreen in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc to -1 to put it on the left, and it appeared on the CRT, so I have a workaround. kde/qt from kde-unstable behaves the same.

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?

Since recent updates, kaffeine is not preventing screen locking. This is using F13 with all updates (not testing).

Who the hell is rnovacek?
by Radek Novacek 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello fedora-kde, my name is Radek Nováček and I would like to inform you, that you will see me more often around KDE things in Fedora. Few words about myself - I'm Red Hat employee (part time) and master degree student (Informatics at Brno University of Technology). I'm responsible (with other folks) for polkit-qt and polkit-kde things. And what will I do? What will be needed for better fedora + kde experience ;) I already took watchbugzilla and watchcommits for most kde packages and maybe I will ask for commit rights when needed. So, feel free to contact me if you have more questions or some tasks for me. Radek Novacek

Yes, there are few of us: me, jreznik, than and ltinkl.
