I've just committed some basic support for enums to kjsembed. This means that enums published by QObjects using the Q_ENUM declaration can be used by scripts. At the moment, the constants are properties of the proxy object itself rather than the class, but the basics are there. Read More

I've been converting Kopete's Oscar protocol to KExtendedSocket over the past week or two. Needless to say, it hasn't been without it's headaches, but I have finally conquered it!!! The testing that I've done so far seems to indicate that it still works the way it did before the conversion, although now I can't test it to make sure an issue I had with disconnecting is gone because of the KUtils stuff. I'm not quite sure I know what to think about the KUtils stuff, just basically because I feel like it limits us to using HEAD for kopete now. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't care too much since I use HEAD on a daily basis anyways. Read More

Ok, with the official presentation of Qt 4 the pandora's box called KDE 4.0 is open, and people start discussing possible changes. So here is my personal contribution of wishes (that I would be willing to work on, of course, at least if I am not the only one): Read More

people wash in on the shores of KDE as others are washing back out... if i close my eyes i can almost hear the waves of people lapping against the sides of KDE's CVS. Read More

(EDIT: changed the title. Thanks for the discussion, I am less confused now :) ) How many of you, when confronted with the Qt licensing option (during the 'configure' step of the compile) select the GPL as your Qt/X11 license? I had always done so, but I have come to understand that using KDE precludes this option. If you use KDE, the QPL is your only non-commercial licensing option, because a GPL'd library cannot be linked with non-GPL code. KDE contains lots of this. Here's a partial list, just of the core apps and libs: Read More

it's been awhile since I've written one of these. Mostly because I've been working on porting Kopete's oscar protocol to KExtendedSocket. It's used QSocket which is very limited in certain things. KExtendedSocket gives more control, as well as built in IPv6 support and proxy support. I wonder how many AIM and ICQ proxy related bugs I can close now. :D Hopefully it'll be in CVS in the next couple of days. Read More

I am thinking of adding a feature each week describing the state of CVS HEAD. I will report which modules build, which don't, and any glaring bugs or neat stuff. My usage pattern is pretty typical, ie. email, browsing, addressbook, etc. Read More

It's seen that getting a drinkable coffee is nearly impossible to get here in n7y... the beer is good so ... but drink a beer with his breakfast is not very good for the stomach... anyway the czech girls are very nice so who need coffee then? Read More

It has finally happened: i merged the make_it_cool branch for kompare into head. Now all i have left to do is kill that branch by removing all files in it. I just hope you will enjoy the changes, i know it is still buggy but i'm working on that here. If you find bugs in it just report it to bugs.kde.org and not here, i might miss your bugreports if you post them here. Read More
