TOPIC NUMBER THE SECOND<br>
Currently we pull stuff from macports when we need things installed<br>
and ports are always a moving target. I think it makes sense to set up<br>
a kde rsync server that has portfiles we need in the versions we know<br>
work (well). Comments?</blockquote><div><br>it's a good idea, but isn't macports a little sensitive on multiple version activation?<br>the activate/deactive jingle should be automatic and i sense some bricks for apps that need either versions<br>
<br>as Jonas Bar noted, why don't we give the gentoo/alt project a try?<br>(gentoo/alt is the porting of the emerge program to other systems, but i don't know its development state)<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
TOPIC NUMBER THE THIRD<br>
I don't have a ppc machine and making packages for 10.4 intel, 10.5<br>
intel, 10.4 ppc and 10.5 ppc takes a lot of time. In the future (next<br>
set of packages) I'm only creating 10.5 packages to upload. Then I'll<br>
_attempt_ 10.4 packages.<br>
Short version: I'll prioritize work with what I've got. And ppc get<br>
the short end of the pkg-ing stick (unless someone steps up).</blockquote><div><br>agree (also because i'm your same position :P)<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
TOPIC NUMBER THE FOURTH<br>
Packaging Team: Having macports in a pretty much OK state for "normal<br>
folk" to contribute, and having spoken to folks like Bill Hoffman<br>
about using CPack at Camp KDE, after 4.2.0 is release I'm shifting<br>
gears and working on getting CPack support integrated into KDE.<br>
This effectively means no more packages from me for anything and I<br>
will merely stay on in an advisory position :-) Hopefully this'll mean<br>
that six months from now Mac and Windows will have CPack installers.<br>
Oh, and we're working with the windows guys on this.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>this is very good news! if i get this correctly, we'll have independant kde apps like mac bundles, won't we?<br>in the meantime for deploying kde apps, why don't we add a +static variant to kde and qt stuff?<br>
in this way when we manually create bundles we wouldn't have to set up all the @executable_path/../Framework stuff inside the bundle!<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Amarokers, Marblites, Digikamies on the mac this is your chance to<br>
shine and help out your favorite application and KDE at the same time.</blockquote><div><br>please don't forget Kile, which is one of the best latex editor non-linux users crave for!<br>it'd be fantastic to have a bundle just for that, now that work has started for porting it to kde4<br>
