[arch-dev-public] KDE 4.6 RC1
by Andrea Scarpino 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi all, KDE 4.5.90 packages are available in [kde-unstable]. The new KDE series provides a new backend for power management (Upower) and for disk management (Udisks); before, we only had the HAL backend. Now kdelibs 4.5.90 depends on both those packages thus you can remove hal from your system and from the daemons to run at start (you have to replace it with dbus). Note: Some system could lose the sounds removing HAL; changing the phonon backend or use pulseaudio could help in that case. Upstream decided to skip the 4.6.0 release for kdepim, but they released a beta3 which is available in [kde-unstable] too. We have to wait kdepim 4.6.1 for a stable KMail2. Anyway, KDE 4.6 is compatible with kdepim 4.4.9 which is already in [extra]. Arch Linux packages changes: - filelight is replaced by kdeutils-filelight - kdeutils-okteta is replaced by kdesdk-okteta - kdegames-ksame is replaced by kdegames-klickety - kdesdk-kbugbuster has been removed (upstream) - a new runner for krunner is available in kdeplasma-addons-runners-events - a new kdeplasma-addons-containments package introduces the GroupingDesktop Be careful updating: do a backup of your ~/.kde4 dir. See the list[1] of the packages which do not work with KDE 4.6 and read the known issues[2] too. Also, follow the forum thread[3].

I'll fix the post_install message. Should I do an announcement? Would be nice, also include the link to upstream documentation when you do so.

I added a message to post_update() for this. It's not just mysql_upgrade. You'll need to have then new mysql running first, but it won't start before upgrading. MySQL released documentation about exact upgrade instructions for this, you'll need to run MySQL in skip grant table mode once and perform mysql_upgrade with that.
