One of the goals I've had with Konsole was to combine all the configure dialogs: 1) Configure Konsole; 2) Manage Profiles; 3) Edit Profile. Currently, in the branch config_dialog, the Manage Profiles is now combined with the main Configure dialog. The only downside is that the Konsole part can't open the Manage Profiles dialog. If and when the Edit Profile gets combined, I'll have to make sure the parts can open those dialogs.

With the KDE SC 4.13 release soon, a few new features made it into Konsole.

I finally got around to running vttest [1] in Konsole (4.8/master) [2].

The most noticeable issue is the the console resizing commands don't work [3].

A list of other issues:

With only a few hours a week to work on Konsole, I often view the logs and other reports for simple issues to investigate. The compile warnings were fixed sometime ago. Most of the simple Krazy and Apidocs issues were also fixed. The remaining Krazy issues would require some heavy duty changes.

Recently I've been trudging through the -Weff++ logs. I coded a simple Ruby script to parse them as Qt generates a ton of warnings. Currently there are around 300 issues. The vast majority of these fall into 2 categories:

So I created work/konsole4-ui to work on porting Konsole to XMLGUI (and LiveUI?). I'm also using as a test area for some ideas and code cleanup. So far so good, I got the session menus to work. The shortcuts are an issue I have to look into again. Things will be much better when I can actually run KDE4 so I can test session managment, config files, etc...

For those using Gentoo and building KDE4, you'll find the latest ebuild for cmake here:

I personally have not been using their rpath patch... KDE4 wor

Well, I'm impressed... cmake-2.4 and kdelibs4_ss actually compile and works (and doesn't seg. fault). Grats to the hard working people on kde-buildsystem.

Systems: x86 and sparc...

'make -j6' is a joy to watch... :-)

Now to kdebase...

Well, kdelibs4_snapshot compiles and installs with cmake. Almost, anyway... I had to remove kstyles/keramik since the genembed seg faults...

... and after installing kdelibs4_ss...

% /opt/KDEDIRS/trunk/bin/kde-config --path
Segmentation fault

Urgh, I would rather have something NOT compile than have it seg fault...

Oh well, cmake is still in infancy... I'll be glad when all the auto* crap is deleted from KDE!

For those running Gentoo, I've created an ebuild for the cmake required to compile KDE4.

Although, the current kdelibs4_snapshot doesn't seem to compile with cmake. :-(

The 3.5 branch of kdebinding doesn't compile and hasn't for a while I believe. It seems like the development of korundum/qtruby has moved to http://rubyforge.org/projects/korundum/.

I wonder why?
