[arch-dev-public] [DRAFT] On the road to KDE 4.1
by Pierre Schmitz 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

DRAFT 2, and yes I still have to find out how this new spellchecker in kde4 works ;-) ----------------------------------- On July 29th the KDE team will announce the final release of KDE 4.1, the first usable version of the fourth generation. To make it possible for Arch users to join the release party in time, there are packages for 4.1 in our [testing] repository. Please take this chance to test those and report any packaging bugs using the bug tracker. Before you update you should read the following hints: * This update will NOT be smooth. Not all config files of the old KDE are compatible with 4.1. While the old are kept in ~/.kde the new ones are in /~.kde4. They won't be converted automagically. You could try to copy some files manually and see what happens. This might work for kmail, konqueror and others, but will break things for others. Maybe KDE will release a tool for doing this. * If you want to use the KDE desktop make sure you have kdebase-workspace installed, which includes the kdm, the taskbar etc. * if pacman wants to replace packages: Answer YES :-) * At the time of writing not all KDE-based packages have been rebuilt for use with new KDE or "legacy libs". If you cannot wait, installing kdelibs3 should make them work. But this will be fixed in the repos before things are pushed to [extra] of course. * If you start KDM with inittab make sure to change its path from /opt/kde to /usr * Don't force the upgrade ( -f); report a bug instead * You might want to (re)move your ~/Desktop folder if you don't like that folder view * The first login takes a while; don't worry about this. It's creating new configs etc. * If you use an nvidia card, please read http://techbase.kde.org/User:Lemma/GPU-Performance * For a short overview about the new features read http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/ -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] Testers needed for new TeXLive packages!
by Firmicus 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

< For TeXnical Archers only ;) > I have prepared new packages of texlive in anticipation of the imminent release of TL 2008, which will coincide with the replacement of tetex by texlive in [extra]. Since TL is a big beast to package and test, I need your help! The packages are available for i686 and x86_64 in a temporary repository. Add this to pacman.conf [texlive] Server = http://dev.archlinux.org/~francois/texlive/os/i686 (or x86_64) And then please read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeXLive_2008 carefully. Thanks in advance, François

[arch-dev-public] Absence
by Thomas Bächler 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

I will be away from my build machine (and probably the Internet as well, although I have my laptop with me) from tomorrow, 25.7.08 to Saturday, 2.8.08. I will rebuild the kernel with configuration fixes and madwifi before then (I hope), so it will be ready to either sit in testing a little longer or be moved to core.
