Let's create a kde-repo on top of our testing repo and see how we can package it and manage the transition from kde3.
OK, this was quite some work. I have moved the repo to other/kde-testing. This way it should be found on some mirrors soon.
It's meant to be used in the follwoing order in pacman.conf: kde-testing testing core extra community
Be warned: this will replace the existing KDE-3 packages by their equivalents of KDE-4.1. By installing kdelibs3 packages that depend on the old KDE "should" still work. (After KDE-4.1 is released to extra we "just" have to update the dependencies of the remaining KDE-3 packages; a rebuilt "should" not be needed)
In order to not mess up things I have setup a separate git-repo containing all used PKGBUILDs: web: http://git.archlinux.de/cgit.cgi?url=kde-testing/ git: http://git.archlinux.de/~pierre/kde-testing.git Feel free to report any suggestions etc.. (by this I mean packaging bugs of course)
If there is any dev who wants to help building this stuff for i686, please let me know.
Happy bug-hunting,
Pierre
I went to try out the i686 packages but there are file conflicts: error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) kdelibs: /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu exists in filesystem kdegames: /etc/ggz.modules exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. $ pacman -Qo /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu is owned by gnome-menus 2.22.1-1 $ pacman -Qo /etc/ggz.modules /etc/ggz.modules is owned by gnome-games 2.22.1.1-1 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
