building from CVS
When I build from CVS, with the debian rules files, I always get problems on in debian/rules lines like: cp debian/kbm.init.d debian/kdm/etc/init.d/kdm The problem is that the destination directory often do not exists, and thus the cp fails. Do I need a special kind of cp to build with the debian/rules file, that creates missing directories, or what is the answer to this riddle? -- Karolina

Re: to stop the thread over conffiles...
Hi
As a sysad, I do not like to edit anything beneath /usr by hand
Usually, in backing up a complete system, I regard it to be
completely restorable with only the original packages at hand and a
backup of everything except /usr.
And because that worked for me, it was one of reasons to change to
debian. It is even possible to recover most of an system, just with
an backup of /etc. And thats an argument that other debian developers
pointed out, when the issue comes to usability of linux in an large
network.
Therefore, the correct place for the system wide override directory
should be /etc/kde/{applnk,mimelnk,servcises,servicetypes} which
might well be empty by default.
the should be emty. so the problem that they become configuration
files won't happen.
Actually, I believe having both
/usr/share/kde/applnk and /usr/share/applnk with different meaning
would cause a lot of confusion. IMO, the second option should be
dropped and replaced by a /etc/kde/applnk (empty by default)
I came from an distri with kde in /opt/kde. I think there are pros an
cons regarding this. But putting everything thats was in
/opt/kde/share to /usr/share wasn't o good decision. NOT because the
concept isn't good, but because the KDE-Projekt didn't really intend
to fit there share-dirs in the global /usr/share. A lot of the
core-developers working for SuSE or other companies that are going
the /opt/kde way. I think they just don't think the /usr/share-way.
So in my opinion /usr/share/{applnk,mimelnk,servcises,servicetypes}
would just stay for compatibility reasons. /usr/share/kde is a good
place for the default {applnk,mimelnk,servcises,servicetypes}-dirs. I
think gnome does the same in /usr/share/gnome (at least my ximian 1.4
does).
To come to an end: What are the good argument agains /etc/kde, like
Norbert Nemec suggested ?
By the way Thanks Ivan for your great work.
Hendrik
Re: AA with potato (strictly)
You can only do antialiasing if you do NOT use the NVIDIA drivers (the commercial ones). They cannot do it yet. Grr.. You could if nVidia actually continued to release their driver sources like they said they would. I'll never buy another NV card until they have released GOOD driver docs for at least 2 consecutive generations of cards. I will never understand why companies think there's something secret about the way to control their hardware.

I don't know what version of debhelper you have, or how current your CVS is, but, above the line that does the cp'ing there is a call to dh_installdirs. There is a debian/kdm.dirs file that will tell dh_installdirs which dirs to create. So it is taken care of. If you have an old debhelper, or maybe you CVS is missing debian/kdm.dirs, this probably won't work correctly. Ivan designs/develops the kde CVS stuff under Sid IIRC. Gordon Sadler

Debian Menu and a KDE glitch?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Greets,
Running up-to-date UNSTABLE (that will hopefully cover the which
version
questions that might be asked).
I have some menu's that I've created and placed in /etc/menu, which up
until
now, have all worked like a charm! Below is a copy of the one that's causing
me grief. It seems that the ~/ really pisses off KDE. :--)
?package(local.staroffice): needs=x11 \
section=Apps/Editors \
title=StarOffice \
longtitle=StarOffice 5.2 \
command=~/office52/program/soffice
Question is; Am I doing something incorrectly, or is there a different
format that KDE requires to run this? (aside from the true path
{/home/griz/office52/program/soffice} in the /etc/menu/staroffice file)
