Quick review of Plasma Active 1.0 patches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

As suggested by Rex Dieter, I'm sharing my notes about the patches for Plasma 
Active 1.0 [1] and whether they can be possibly be included in the KDE 
packages.

Patch for kde-runtime:

active-development-4.7-diff.patch
- basically removes ActivityManager. Unfortunately it also lumps together some 
(binary) changes to the docs and localization changes to .desktop files.
- We already have this change in Fedora so this can safely disregard this 
patch.

Patches for kde-workspace:

Patches already in KDE git master (for 4.8 release). These can probably be 
safely included.

fix-wetab-power-button-freeze.patch
- single patch that combines Revision 94b134f9,  Revision 098b163b, and 
Revision f5162387 in master

nepomuksearch-566052f0.diff
- Revision 566052f05846735777a091cf791639428597b40e

Patches in KDE git but in specific branches.

ksplash-qml.diff
- adds a QML-based KSplash engine. It's in the Active/1.0 branch, Revision 
d190b6e78757a8c23faaaf09b97c482d91c1ba5f
- From a cursory reading, it looks safe to add in.

wac-html-widgets.patch
- from plasma/mart/wac-appletscript branch only, Revision 
91e1d8bb5a1c69bb2c0e671c680a03685c3b4254
- seems to be ok, but not really overly important I guess. Can be skipped.

kwin-screenlocker.diff
- also from Active/1.0 branch, Revision 
94e2aeae6d757d029f4900f5150feb8a9ac5473b. Unfortunately, this is still being 
discussed and is a bit problematic. It might be safe to skip this for now.

Other patches, not in KDE git.

kwin-check-opengl.diff
- not really sure what this does. Haven't gotten a reply yet from the #active 
channel on IRC.

disable-infocenter-pci.diff
disable-kcontrol-keys.diff
- disables building of the PCI Module in KInfoCenter and kcm_keys KControl 
module respectively. I'm still not sure why it's done for Plasma Active, but 
definitely doesn't make sense for a regular desktop. Seems safe to skip.

Hope that helps a bit. :)
