Roll call +KDE team members present: +ago, creffet, dilfridge, jmbsvicetto, johu, tampakrap, thev00d00 + + +2. KDE SC stabilization: discuss/vote on the following options: +a) First 4.8.5 as decided in a former meeting, then 4.9.1 / 4.9.2. +b) Skip 4.8.5, start with 4.9.0 / 4.9.1 directly. +c) Other? + +After some discussion, a vote resulted in 5 votes for a), 1 vote for b). 4.8.5 +has two remaining (upstream) issues (da translation error and a missing theme +for ksplashx) which will be locally addressed in time before stabilization. + +Ago suggested that we should follow the Kernel crowd, and only ever stabilize a +late release in every KDE series ("x.x.7/8"). Most of the other team members +were against that idea, since +* we'd find Gentoo-specific problems only very late then (when the large crowd + migrates) +* and people will complain if we wait with stable upgrades too long. +As a compromise we settled on "4.9.0 will never go stable, we talk about 4.9.1 +when it's out for a while". + + +3. Solaris patches: We apply many patches to support Solaris, but there seems to +be no prefix keyword. Does anyone know anything about them? If we are supporting +Solaris, Kensington would like to push these patches upstream. Does anyone have +access to a box to test if they are still useful? + +Nobody present had any opinion or cared about the solaris stuff. As a result it +was decided to drop the patches. + +On #gentoo-prefix this was ack'ed later by darkside for the prefix team. ryao +noted there that Qt is broken on Prefix at the moment, and that the KDE patches +could become relevant again after that is fixed. + + +4. KDE stable subproject: Ago proposed a "KDE stable subproject" some time ago +via mail. The idea is that the subproject members test KDE stable candidates on +an otherwise completely stable system as soon as we decide on a stable +candidate, to make fast and bug-free stabilization possible as soon as its +30days in the tree. + +Discussion led to various points: +* Ago is mainly thinking of Gentoo-specific stable candidate QA. +* The "stable subproject" obsoletes the (dead) "herd testers" subproject which + we tried to start up some time ago. +* No quiz required for participation. +* Johu suggested a more upstream-oriented direction ("like kdepim bug day"), + which however seems like a different endeavour. +* In the end, there were no objections, Ago takes care of establishing that + group of people and updates our site. + + +5. Bugs + +5a. Bug 417235: app-cdr/k3b: Excessive use of REQUIRED_USE +Majority decision was to keep the REQUIRED_USE, but rename lame -> mp3 + +5b. Bug 430608: cmake-utils.eclass: add support for dev-util/ninja +It was decided to apply the patch and make building with ninja possible; +however, if the build fails a message about using an unsupported backend +should be logged (if possible). + +5c. Bug 427910: app-office/calligra-2.4.3: move fonts to separate packages +and related bug 427914: www-client/rekonq-1.0: please move Nunito-Regular.ttf +to separate package +Most people present did not really care. Consensus was +* Find out if there is any license problem with the status quo. +* If yes, talk to upstream and try to solve the problem with them. +Nobody volunteered to research the license situation. + +5d. Bug 430858: net-libs/libkolabxml-0.8.0[php] fails +The cause here appears to be that FindPHP4.cmake does not look in +/usr/include/php5.*. (and there is no FindPHP5.cmake). This potentially means +that every search for PHP in cmake is broken (though it appears that nothing in +kde-base at least has IUSE="php", explaining this not being caught). Consensus +was to provide upstream with a FindPHP5 module and ask for inclusion. + + +6. Open floor + +6a. Further discussion about the stable subproject +Tampakrap notes that for recruiting devs a subproject with overlay access is not +the most efficient way, since people tend to be happy with overlay access and +are reluctant to go through the actual recruiting process. We should try to +motivate people to become full developers. In addition he offers to mentor +people. + +6b. Default KDE_SCM +Johu proposes to switch this to git. Noone opposes. |
