Re: KDE3 - Debian/experimental distribution proposal

We have lost alot of time since kde3 released in which we could fix our packages and could work on packages which base on kde3. Yes, something like this. We'll have to go through the webserver stuff at KDE first or just use ftp.kde.org for that. I noticed that http://ftp.kde.org/ doesn't work, so you may want to add this in order to make the archive fully apt-get'able including the use of the http get method through web proxies. http://www.kde.org/ftpmirrors.html shows which kde.org mirrors support http. 2. In order to provide new packages for the unstable distribution I'd like to see the experimental distribution of Debian used, since this enables using the entire infrastructure of Debian except for the buildds. Ok. Could you help providing the necessary steps get going so we can upload packages ? Ralf, Sure. Because you are (still?:)) no DD I will help you with this. queue. Noël and Michael can probably help with this step. Sure. We/I will upload packages to experimental for Ralf. Does anybody see any problems if we will start with kde 3.1x builds/ uploads for experimental? -- Noèl Köthe

That would be excellent if you would do that and quite suitable to upload the kde3.1x builds into unstable. It would also allow me to upload the two KDE packages I maintain for Debian into unstable as well. We will still wait for the gcc 3.2 transition for unstable. We just want to collect everything in experimental and _then_ put the packages into sid when the Debian default compiler will be gcc 3.2. See experimental as temporary space for the kde3 stuff where we have a bug tracking system. -- Noèl Köthe
Re: [kde] anti-aliasing is *NOT* supported!

You can use it, but don't expect me to urgently follow up on bug reports involving AA, as it causes problems such as #123264. If you report an AA bug, I'll probably downgrade its severity and tag wontfix, because it's too buggy. Why not report it upstream? -- Noèl Köthe
Re: Bug#127252: -unstable compiled against the wrong libpng

If we require a big recompile, when/ how are we going to bother to advise the maintainers of these packages? It has been stated that we are talking about 300+ packages :-( Maybe we could use: debian-devel-announce: Announcements for developers -- Noèl Köthe
