Packaging some experimental applications for KDE4

geschrieben von deadbabylon am 4. März 2008 um 01:03

I’ve set up a small repository containing some experimental packages for KDE4 for testing purposes. Some of them will be submitted for review if they are working properly (konq-plugins), some of them are building fine but crashing (kaudiocreator), some will maybe become part of KDE 4.1.0 (kdiamond) or are just test versions (kgrubeditor, krename).

Status of the kde 4 live images

geschrieben von deadbabylon am 13. Dezember 2007 um 01:12

I want to drop a small comment of what is preventing the release of some kde 4 live images for testing. The main problem at the moment are two bugs:
#421261 - crash on startup: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘arch.
#422061 - KDE4 applications aren’t starting at all.
The second one is really funny to debug. […]

Create your own localized version of Fedora-8-Live-KDE

Fedora 8 will be freely available tomorrow. So it’s time again for a short howto for the creation of a localized spin of the english only Fedora-8-KDE live image. Sadly I wasn’t able to use revisor to do this (again). But the opportunity would be that this howto describes the needed steps in the same […]
