= Agenda =
* Trolltech's Phonon GStreamer backend
* kdemultimedia3 compat package?
* API documentation
* Live images for KDE4
* development progress: the road to kde4
= Summary =
o Trolltech's Phonon GStreamer backend:
- Trolltech has committed a GStreamer backend for phonon which will likely
become the upstream default for kde 4.1
- We'll have to wait until it gets usuable and use xine-lib for now
o kdemultimedia3 compat package?
- at least taxipilot is relying on aRts-related libraries provided by
kdemultimedia 3 which has now broken dependencies
- Also it's possible that some apps will fail at runtime due to trying to load
some aRts modules which were in kdemultimedia3 and not finding them
- If we create a kdemultimedia3 we should make sure phonon, arts and
pulseaudio work together
- taxipilot itself isn't ported to kde 4 yet
- there was no consensus if we drop taxipilot because of it's unmaintained
kde4 state, patch it to don't use arts or create a kdemultimedia3 package
- If we create a kdemultimedia3 package we have to get it reviewed because
it's not existing in cvs
o API documentation:
- API documentation for kde 4 is currently not packaged but should be included
in the future as -apidocs subpackages
- A suggestion by RexDieter was to package them seperately to get them noarch
- But this would mean to duplicate many spec files
- the current decision was to package them as a part of the current specs
o Live images for KDE4:
- SebastianVahl created a tracker bug for monitoring the current MUST/SHOULD
solve issues for the live images: #421891 [1]
- #422061 is working with selinux in permissive mode since yesterdays rawhide
push [2]
- in comparison to the kde3 live images the following applications were
dropped: krusader, koffice-krita, twinkle and ktorrent
- the current package list: CurrentPackageList [3]
- One of the biggest remaining issues is the non-working installer (#424811).
[4] JeremyKatz said he has a hack to workaround this
o development progress: the road to kde4:
- kdeadmin, kaider and extragear-plasma are in rawhide now, kde-l10n is still
being reviewed (#421231). [5]
- the kde4 port of bluecurve is also awaiting review (#425872) [6]
- /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/common was splitted into a kdelibs-common subpackage
(# 417251) [7]
o recent bugs:
- flash plugin seems to be still not working on x86_64 (#410651) [8]
- but this seems to be an issue of nspluginwrapper and a separate bug report
against nspluginwrapper is needed
