[gentoo-dev] KDE Team meeting November 2009
Tomáš Chvátal
This months meeting will be held as usual so i am anouncing it in advance so
we discuss and prepare on the topics. As a sidenote: since Qt team is leaving
us kde to their own project space this meetings from now on will be focused
only on kde relevant matters.
Informations:
When -> 19:00 UTC @ 19.11.2009
Where -> #gentoo-meetings
Topics:
kde-4.3.3 stabilisation todo:
- we should review buglist and add proper blockers
- we should also make sure those bugs are fixed before stabilisation
Documentation:
- choose dedicated maintainer that will be RESPONSIBLE for documentation
and coop with doc team. (the guy will be slapped if he will slack with
updating the docs)
- adjust the kde4 guide to cover most of the process of installing kde4
onto clean gentoo install.
upstream:
- choose person responsible for checking upstream and Backport patches
where required. This guy will be responsible for bacporting patches from svn
to main tree mostly :].
kde3:
- how is the masking going on and decide what apps should definitely still
stay in main tree
As usual the meeting is mandatory for DEV's and HT's.
Also reply to this mail with additional topic suggestions/or to discuss the
topics themselves. We should try to make our meeting short (max 1h)
Cheers

Just wanted to add that although Qt has its own project now, we don't
want to break up the fine meetings we've been having so far.
So we'd like to continue having common meetings for the time being :)
Things we have on Qt agenda for now:
* Proposition to return to monolithic Qt ebuilds
In last meeting we decided to continue this discussion in ML.
We should revisit the subject in this meeting, especially now
that one of the major issues is gone with the removal of old Qt versions.
* Status of new qt-tng.eclass
* #gentoo-qt - its there, do we want to use it?
Thanks,

1) Optional RDEPEND packages handling
- should we just einfo with the desired options or rather extensively use
useflags so user can control it throught them, thats the question :]
2) Our fellow colegues from exherbo have nice proposal of splitting kde so we
should think about joining in and helping.
- read up before meeting: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.scm-
interest/713
- also I would be mostly in favor of split like xorg has it. Separate
packages with various versions. Once there is release time packagers mark
desired versions and packages to be part of some release.
- also this would mean separate git repo for each app but i dont think
that is a problem :]
