    Don't Forget to Resolve Your Own Bugs

    2012

    Jan

    A gentle reminder: please occassionally check back on bugs you've reported and resolve them if they have been fixed in recent versions.

    Sometimes we developers fix bugs but forget to resolve them ourselves; sometimes bugs are fixed by newer versions of other software we depend on; sometimes bugs are fixed as consequences of other fixes.

    So help us out and resolve your own bugs when possible.

    Thanks.

    Stable and Non-Stable APIDOX Urls

    2011

    Dec

    FYI:

    I just added some symbolic links on the api.kde.org machine to make accessing the 'stable' and 'unstable' dox a little easier.

    So now stable points to 4.7 and unstable points to 4.8.

    For example:
    http://api.kde.org/stable/kdepimlibs-apidocs is the url for the stable kdepimlibs 4.7
    http://api.kde.org/unstable/kdepimlibs-apidocs is url for the upcoming kdepimlibs 4.8

    Today KDEPIM 4.6 Beta5 is tagged and released.

    Once the mirrors catch-up you should find the source code in ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kdepim/4.5.95.

    Also, I know some distros will be providing their users access to this new release for your testing pleasure.

    Here's a partial the list of bugs we've fixed in the past few months since the last beta (thanks Christophe):

    Dec

    Today KDEPIM 4.6 Beta3 is tagged and released.

    This is the first release in our departure from the normal KDE SC 4.6 cycle, but you should be able to build against kdelibs and kdepimlibs from either the beta2 or the upcoming first release candidate UPDATE: building against the KDE SC 4.6RC1 kdepimlibs is required -- which should be available soon.

    Note that it does require the 1.4.90 Akonadi server which was just released yesterday.

    KDEPIM 4.5 is Dead -- Here's to KDEPIM 4.6

    2010

    Nov

    Well, the ramp-up for KDE SC 4.6 has begun now, with soft freezes taking effect yesterday and the first beta due in about 1 week.

    So... we have decided that there is no point to putting any more effort into the long-awaited KDEPIM 4.5.

    99.9% of the KDEPIM team's effort will go into the 4.6 release.
    0.1% effort remains for a probable KDEPIM 4.4.8 at the end of this month.

    KDEPIM 4.6 !

    You won't find any (obvious) link on Gitorious, but if you want to enable email notifications you need to go to http://gitorious.org/favorites.

    Thanks to Mike McQuaid for telling me about this hard-to-find feature of Gitorious.

    Krazy Moves to Gitorious

    2010

    Oct

    I just finished moving the Krazy repository from KDE SVN trunk/quality to Gitorious.

    Seems to work ok.
    For the record, here's how I did it:

    % git svn clone svn+ssh://winterz@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/quality/krazy2
    % cd krazy2
    % git remote add origin git@gitorious.org:krazy/krazy.git
    % git push origin master

    Note that the "git svn clone" took a few hours since it searches through all 1.2million revisions in the KDE SVN looking for krazy2 commits.
