Fwd: kdeedu-data

[Jeremy Whiting]

Ugh, I saw that on fedora recently. Why do distros do that? I guess
those same distros also patch KStandardDirs to look for files there ?
Or set KDEHOME or something so it will look there?

At any rate, with 2 done and posted to reviewboard. If I set KDEHOME
to /usr/local (my kf5 prefix here) qt4 based khangman works fine here
using the files installed by kdeedu-data into
/usr/local/share/apps/kvtml/en . At any rate I'll do all I can to get
khangman's frameworks port ready by the wed freeze so that won't be an
issue anymore either.

thanks,
Jeremy
