"KDE Improvement Project" (KIP) - KDE 3.5.4 ebuilds

[taskara]

KDE 3.5.4 compatible!

StifflerStealth is maintaining these ebuilds, THANKS!

Latest:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-35 ... ml#3587228

Instructions:

1) Basically you need to extract the modified ebuilds to your portage overlay directory (usually /usr/local/portage, but I use /usr/portage/local).

Code: Select all

tar -xvjf /path/to/file/kde-3.x.perrty.v1.x.tar.bz2 -C /path/to/portage/overlay/

ie, for me this is:

Code: Select all

tar -xvjf /home/tehchris/Desktop/kde-3.4.perrty.v1.0.2-r3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/portage/local/

2) Now add the following to your /etc/portage/package.keywords
(note if you are using amd64, substitute ~x86 for ~amd64)

Code: Select all

#
kde-base/kdebase ~x86
kde-base/kde ~x86
kde-base/kdelibs ~x86
kde-base/arts ~x86
kde-base/kdepim ~x86

kde-base/kdenetwork ~x86
kde-base/kdemultimedia ~x86
kde-base/kdegraphics ~x86
kde-base/kdeadmin ~x86
kde-base/kdewebdev ~x86
kde-base/kdeutils ~x86
kde-base/kdeartwork ~x86
kde-base/kdetoys ~x86
kde-base/kdeaddons ~x86
kde-base/kdeedu ~x86
kde-base/kdegames ~x86
kde-base/kdeaccessibility ~x86
app-crypt/gpgme ~x86

note: if you don't have a package.keywords file, then as root run:

Code: Select all

mkdir /etc/portage && touch /etc/portage/package.keywords

3a) If it is a fresh install, then just run

Code: Select all

emerge -av kde

3b) Or if you are like me and prefer a smaller kde, you can specify the packages individually, like so:

Code: Select all

emerge -av kdebase kdeartwork

3c) If you are updating instead of a fresh install, you will also need to re-emerge qt

Code: Select all

emerge -av qt kdelibs kdebase kdeartwork

That's it!

FYI, the patched ebuilds are:
qt (3.3.3)
kdebase
kdeartwork
kdelibs


Tips:
** If you are running these patches with Xfree, you may have rubberband drawing problems, suggest use Xorg - thanks sklettke

** If you are having problems with slow rubberband redraw, link97381 suggests adding the following option to your xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Option "RenderAccel" "1"

** To enable the new konqueror sidebar look insert the SidebarStyle=1 into your konqsidebartng.rc file like so:

Code: Select all

echo SidebarStyle=1 >> ~/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc

or if you still can't see it after that, try adding this to ~/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc

Code: Select all

[webbrowsing]
SidebarStyle=1
[filemanagement]
SidebarStyle=1 

** To disable the new sidebar and get back you old sidebar (where PROFILE_NAME is the name of your profile)

Code: Select all

cp -r ~/.kde/share/konqsidebartng/entries ~/.kde/share/konqsidebartng/$PROFILE_NAME/entries

Known problems
** Does not compile when using unsermake


These ebuilds have been pretty well tested now, and should work out of the box. Depending on your pc though, you may need 10 or so hours to kill Still, don't hurt me if it installs gnome, eats your ram, or otherwise maims your precious gentoo install!

Changelog from http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16962

Code: Select all

v1.0.0: (2004-Nov-28)
* fixed bug with rubberband in iconview mode.
* added install instructions.

v0.5.5: (2004-Oct-31)
 * fixed bug when new rubberband effect is disabled.
 
 v0.5.4: (2004-Oct-31)
 * added rubberband color cache (improve rubberband performance a little more). I can't do incremental patch cause i'm using the KDE CVS version now. The only file that was modified is kdelibs/kdefx/kstyle.cpp
 
 v0.5.3: (2004-Oct-31)
 * improved rubberband performance in iconview (now only the modified area is draw). 
 * fixed bug when drawing rubberband and right mouse button is clicked.
 * added incremental patch. For those who are using version 0.5.2 just apply the patches found in dir patches-0.5.2. 
 Note: Only use the patches found in dir patches-0.5.3 if you are using version 0.5.2. Any doubt how to use this mail me.
 * added TODO file. If you found any bug not in TODO mail me, and i will try to fix.

v0.5.2: (2004-Oct-26)
 * fixed error in drawing the item background in konqueror detailed view mode when that is a background image set. You just need to recompile kdebase/konqueror/listview.

v0.5.1: (2004-Oct-26)
 * fixed compile error in kdebase/konqueror/listview.

v0.5.0: (2004-Oct-25)
 * a lot of cleanup and refactoring.
 * fix bug in konqueror detailed view mode that made the alternate background lines draw incorrect (thanks to DarkLord to point this out).
 * now no app will be affected by the patch for bug 88964.
 * modified qt patches to kde ones so is more easy to get they accepted by kde developers.
 * removed kdepim patch (no more necessary).

Thanks a lot!
Will try this tonight, with some luck I'm done compiling tomorrow when I'm back from work

Hi

First of all good work taskara

But can i suggest another patch to add to your ebuilds.

Its the composite manager patch for kde found @ this thread:

Yeah, that would be really cool if that's in it, all good stuff in one place

[taskara]

hey guys,

I will try and add that patch when I get home this afternoon.

looks like it's a patch on kdebase, but into the kwin dir..

prob best not to say "good work" until you've tried it and it works!

will post back in a few hours..

[huru]

Noo, don't make me to recompile again with new patches!
J/k of course

So far looks good, about half-way through emerging. Compiling had crashed on kdepim during the night so some hours were lost.. that crash has nothing to do with your patches though but gpgme, will compile kdepim after everything else.

[huru]

Kdeartwork failed to compile, I replaced the patch included in your package with updated (for 3.3.1) patch from kde-look.org and looks like it's compiling ok now. Then the remaining packages.. damn this is taking longer than I thought

[huru]

Hmm, too quick posting.. kdeartwork still failed to compile

Hi huru,

this should be fixed now.

please download this new patch file here
and replace the one in your portage overlay directory / kde-base/kdeartwork/files/

make sure you delete your old extracted source directory /var/tmp/portage/kdebase$version..

please let me know how it goes!

also I have updated the package to include this new patch.

I get that error with the new patch.

[zerojay]

I've been having a strange problem since updating to 3.3.1 with these patches. Every 15 seconds, X hits 100% CPU use for a second. Any clues as to why?

[taskara]

snakattak3, it looks like it is complaining about a double entry.

could you make sure that all the extracted source from your first attempt is deleted from /var/tmp/portage/kdebase$?

and try again?


and DarkStalker,

no idea! I haven't actually had a chance to emerge these on my own system yet

have u done anything else to your system besides these patches? and was it with the new kdeartwork patch or old one?

perhaps someone else might be able to shed more light than I can at this stage

I had emerged qt, kdelibs, kdebase. I unmerged all of KDE 3.3.0 completely. I decided to go back to the official ebuilds in the hopes that it fixes the problem.

[Petyr]

Gah... so I've got just about all of it emerged, but I keep getting

[link97381]

Did you use the 0.2 patch or the 0.2.1 with the fix for kdeartwork 3.3.1?

[Petyr]

Okay so I kinda cheated to get kdeartwork to be happy
First I installed arts (but my use flag still says not to use it

That made kdenetwork happy and it finally compiled.

For kdeartwork I went into the e-build and told it not to try and patch the source for the plastik theme (both versions of the patch caused the same error for me...). That made kdeartwork happy and now I have kde merged in =D

Regards,
Petyr

[joshualk]

Hey,

I got everything built and all (qt first, then kdelibs, kdebase, and kdeartwork), but nothing has changed. I still have exactly the same artwork as before. Anybody have any ideas on what I could have done wrong?

Joshua K.

[taskara]

Have the translucency-patch been implemented yet?
I'm waiting on you my friend

well from the site:

notice:
xcompmgr is still experimental - it crashes from time to ti... shit
especially setting active or inactive windows and closing them can cause (xcompmgr - not your system) to crash - don't worry
moving works fine so far, resizing (i.e. moveresize) is quite slow and xdamage sometimes fails to update all damages (you may get artefacts - move a window around them)

do you really u guys really want this yet??

you could add the patch yourselves if you want it!


Joshuak,
not sure I haven't even tried these myself yet! (p4 is bootstrapping.. so will soon). do u have eyecandy settings up high? and I assume you are using plastik as your default theme..?

Did you use the 0.2 patch or the 0.2.1 with the fix for kdeartwork 3.3.1?

I'm just using the latest patch from the kde-look site - which looks like 0.2.1.. newer version available so gonna re-package now.


Petyr,
have you had any luck? does it look any different?


has anyone gotten this to work off these ebuilds!??

[link97381]

How is everyones new semi transparent rubber band working? Mine seems to not be doing so well. It is really slow to draw and has a hard time keeping up with the mouse. And sometimes the outline doesn't get drawn on which ever side I happen to be exapanding. And this is on Dual Athlon 1900's with 512 megs of ram. But other then that I like the patch so far

COOL.. so it actually works? I think you're the first person to say so!

I guess that's why this sort of patch has not made it to CVS

I'll be emerging it soon so I'll let you know how it goes on my p4

I can't even get kdebase emerged on my amd64, thanks to cyrus-sasl!

[jmercer]

Yeah, I had trouble with the rubber band. It wouldn't clear the buffer on redraw. So if you dragged a square, it'd get darker and darker. Also, if you dragged a few selections, you'd end up with a lot of squares left.

I can see this being used in the future, the screenshots look great, but for me it's not working so well. I had to re-emerge without the patch.

Plastik wasn't happy either, even with the new 3.3.1 patch. Gonna go with a vanilla KDE for now.

[taskara]

new version guys, see changelog on first post.
