KDE4 porting mailing list?

[Stefan Winter]

Hi,

apologies for the dumb "I-can't-use-Google" question: is there any mailing 
list about the current status of porting KDE to Qt4, ideally where I could 
place questions about specific caveats?
In case there isn't, my current problem with getting kdenetwork/wifi 
KWiFiManager to work properly again is: 

QFile apparently doesn't like reading from /proc any more. When I 
open /proc/net/dev with QIODevice::readOnly, I get pos()=0, atEnd=true and 
thus can't read anything out of the file. I've read about QIODevice changing 
behaviour wrt to sequential/non-sequential files, but I didn't find a 
solution to deal with the file properly.

The code fragment and debug output for this problem is:

QFile procnetdev("/proc/net/dev");
if ( !procnetdev.open (QIODevice::ReadOnly) ) {
  kdDebug () << "Unable to open /proc/net/dev" << endl;
  return liste;
};
kdDebug () << "Autodetecting, QFile pos() = " << procnetdev.pos() << endl;
kdDebug () << "QFile thinks it has" 
                 << (procnetdev.atEnd() ? " " : " not ") 
                 << "reached the end." << endl;

kwifimanager: Autodetecting, QFile pos() = 0
kwifimanager: QFile thinks it has reached the end.

And the result of a "cat /proc/net/dev" is non-empty, of course:
