[arch-announce] KDE SC 4.4.0 released
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Pierre Schmitz 09 Feb '10

Pierre Schmitz wrote: KDE announced the availability of its Software Compilation 4.4, "Caikaku". You will find all upstream changes and new features on their website: http://kde.org/announcements/4.4/. As usual we provide the latest packages for Arch. Unfortunately this update will need some user intervention due to a pacman limitation. Therefore you have to update in two steps: % pacman -Sy --asdeps qt % pacman -Su Be aware of the following problems that might occur: * The usage of bitmap fonts like terminus will be broken when using the proprietary nvidia driver. * If you update from virtuoso 5 as nepomuk backend as it was provided in the kde-unstable or testing repository you will have to convert your database (http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=119661) or simply remove ~/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/data/virtuosobackend. The latter is of course only recommend if you had not used nepumuk's tagging and comment features. * In case of any error, try using a new user account or (re)moving KDE's configuration which can be found at ~/.kde4 /tmp/kde-* /var/tmp/kdecache-*. Akonadi saves its data at ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi URL: http://archlinux.org/news/483/

Ionuț Mircea Bîru wrote: The new versions of libjpeg and libpng required a rebuild of all dependent packages. The libjpeg/libpng rebuilds are now complete and are moving from [testing] into the main repos. Due to the large number of rebuilds required, packages will take a while to propagate to the mirrors. It is advisable to check the state of your mirror before updating ([https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus][1] Remember to check your unofficial packages (AUR and third party repos) for required rebuilds.

Allan McRae wrote: Two prominent community members, Dusty and ralvez have been working hard to bring Arch Linux it's very own conference. ArchCon 2010 will take place in Toronto, Canada's largest city, on July 22 and 23. Registration is now open at [http://archcon.archlinux.ca/][1] and more information can be found on the ArchCon site at [http://archlinux.ca/archcon2010/][2] ArchCon will feature talks and tutorials from prominent community members and plenty of interactive discussions, development sprints, bug squashing sessions, and, of course, socializing. Earlybird registration ends on February 28th. Those who register early will be doing the organizers a huge favour by helping estimate the number of attendees, and to finance initial costs.
