KDE CVS/Subversion Split Ebuilds (Replies Part 1)

[Merlin-TC]

Would it somehow be possible to only fetch all the files from SVN for the already installed apps that are going to be updated?

yeah, that's a nice one. first download all shit, then start compiling/installing...

question: i dunno much (that means nothing) about STL, but according to some it should be included in Qt...

i'm not entirely sure, but i've been talking about it here:
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=21450

could this be included in Qt? (KsirK author was surprised it was not, and says it should be included)

Anyone with feature requests can post them at http://genkdesvn.berlios.de/bugs/ as they are way too many for me to remember them now.

you're going to get angry... but... I still don't have spanish support in the ebuilds. Spanish files are fetched but then I cannot choose spanish in Control Center. Dunno why. kdelibs and entire kdebase emerged several times.

Any tip?

Kcontrol switch option is broken right now - the ebuild needs to be edited to install flags properly, the breakage happened some time ago, and I noticed it very recently. As for your bug report, it was not clear to me that your problem was the kcontrol settings.

But you can still have your kde in spanish by setting LANG=es in your environment for kde, or individually you can start an app via KDE_LANG=es.

Signing up for the bug tracker at http://genkdesvn.berlios.de/bugs/login_page.php seems to be broken. I am emailed a confirmation link and then told "The confirmation URL is invalid or has already been used. Please signup again.". I attempted to signup again with a different username but to no avail.

I am having trouble compiling a number of ebuilds from the kde-live overlay (the stable one). I get sandbox errors regarding open_wr on QT lock files in /usr/. The main offender for this seems to be gtk-engines-qt (which hasn't been building for weeks) but esvn and a number of other ebuilds do not compile either.

Is this a known problem? I don't fancy turning off the sandbox just to install a few packages.

yeah, seen this before. i don't use sandbox anymore, but thats indeed not the right solution. you might try to report these as bugs.

Thanks, good to know! Well, I have finally fixed the kcontrol entries issue but have decided to create a new ebuild for those entries, in case you want to reinstall them without waiting for kcontrol compile (especially if kcontrol breaks). Now kcontrol requires kde-i18n for that purpose, and those entries are stored there. Unlike the release versions, however, no translations are stored in kde-i18n, but rather in the individual programs.

Did you try logging on to it? Which user do you want to use? pm me if you want me to set a new password until you're able to log on. I am definitely sure that your two users are registered.

Please, send more detailed information on which files were denied write, and also some output that shows which qt dir your ebuilds are using. What versions of qt do you have installed?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. x11-libs/qt is version 7 and qtconfig shows version 3.3.4. The ebuild tries to write to a number of files:

Code: Select all

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------
open_wr:   /usr/qt/devel/etc/settings/.qtrc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/devel/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock

From the ./configure, it seems to be using:

Code: Select all

checking for Qt... libraries /usr/qt/3/lib, headers /usr/qt/3/include using -mt

I do have a /usr/qt/devel, however.

If you need any more information please let me know.

kcontrol depends on kde-i18n right now, but that package doesn't exist...

Another thing that has been happening for some time is that icons from some apps doesn't seems to work. I'm posting here because I want opinions and the like. Will post on bugs later.

My system is a AMD64, so I don't know if that have something to do because of the lib/lib32/lib64 thing.

Some of the apps affected are:

- Konversation
- Kdebluetooth

As an example, that apps doesn't have an icon in they tray. They have only something like a blank piece of paper. Where could be the problem?

Ah, sorry, should be in now.

Why do these ebuilds download ALL translation instead of only mine (italian)?

I set LINGUAS in /etc/make.conf ...

If that is too complicated, I can stay in a system with only English language. How can I stop emerge to download all that translations?

Thanks

PS: Excuse my English...

Could you please provide evidence of that? What you are describing sounds impossible to me, but please provide logs/screenshots, whatever you muster to prove that, along with the output of emerge --info.

[Merlin-TC]

Somehow I can't emerge kcontrol, falls right after configure.
It works for you mario?

Sorry, forgot to post the error log:

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

Is there anyway to force the ebuilds to use the 3.5 branch instead of HEAD? I would like to follow 3.5 till release as 4.0 is waayyy to unstable (even for me) at the momment.

That is what they do. Unless you are using a very old version of the ebuilds, you're using the 3.5 branch (which is pretty stable, for me)

@mario:

please can you help me please? I'd like to use your ebuilds very much, but I'm sure that I don't need to wait that each ebuild check for minutes "trunk/l10n"... it take too much time, and already quanta failed to build!

If it exists, can you tell me how to accelerate the download process?

Thank you very much !

EDIT: ok I removed LINGUAS from make.conf and now it downloads quickly

Thrain, I will readd the possibility of fetching an entire module, rather than the sub-modules only, which might speed up things such as checks for each level of the directory hierarchy (but increase your local space consumption). I may also make checking irrelevant parts of the directory hierarchy optional, and just add an option to enforce it, as if you accidentally delete something, it will no longer be refetched otherwise. I will add these options in time, and everyone is welcome to request an account for the repository and make their own additions.
