It looks like a kworldclock bug report was submitted here and supposedly fixed. However I've emerged update world a number of times since then and I've still got same problem: identical times all around the world.
Do you think the 1.4 freeze is keeping the fix from reaching portage or something? I gotta admit I'm not too clear about what the "freeze" means. I knew what it meant what I was running the "testing" version of Debian (2.2 -> 3.0), which is why I tried Gentoo!
Does anybody have any newer information? Searching on "kworldclock" doesn't come up with much and this is a very cool app.
TIA,
-Robert |

When they say it's fixed, I'm sure they mean in CVS. We won't see the fix until KDE 3.1.1 or whatever the next version is. |

It would probably suffice to apply the patch that was provided as a fix. But KDE is so intimidatingly big, where and how would I do that? |

If you know the package that the kworldclock is included in, unpack it first:
Code: |
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kde-name/k......ebuild unpack
|
Then cd in to the top level directory:
Code: |
cd /var/tmp/portage/kde-name..../work/kde-name.../kworldclock
|
Then save the patch in your link to a file and patch with this command:
Code: |
cat patchfile | patch -p0
|
Now it's time to build:
Code: |
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kde-name/k......ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kde-name/k......ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kde-name/k......ebuild qmerge
|
Let us know if the time is right now

Ebrostig, is the 1.4 "freeze" the reason the patch hasn't been made available by default (through emerge --update --deep world) yet? |

The freeze only applies to new packages, not to bug fixes for existing ones. Patience, Gentoomen, the patch has only been around for a few days... I've added a bug report to bugs.gentoo.org to speed up things a little.
ebrostig, thanks a lot, I'm glad I don't have to re-emerge all of KDE for that... |

Gee, I completely forgot about this thread! Yeah, it works, might as well document the method for latecomers. Thanks again to ebrostig for setting me on the right track. Here are his steps with the real package names filled in:
Code: | ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kdetoys/kdetoys-3.1.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/kdetoys-3.1/work/kdetoys-3.1
cat /tmp/patchfile | patch -p0
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kdetoys/kdetoys-3.1.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kdetoys/kdetoys-3.1.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kdetoys/kdetoys-3.1.ebuild qmerge
|
with your /tmp/patchfile taken from the attachment to the original bug report on the KDE bugzilla.
And yes, the time is right now... |
