A question about "signals" in qt-nm

By Shaheed Haque at 09/01/2017 - 06:46

Hi all,

The Python bindings effort recently ran into the need for
<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D5185" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/D5185">https://phabricator.kde.org/D5185</a> to prevent clashes between Qt's use
of "signals" and libnm via networkmanager-qt's ipconfig.h.

Retirement of Reviewboard - Transition to Phabricator

By Ben Cooksley at 08/24/2017 - 05:07

Hi all,

The following is Sysadmin's suggested plan for the retirement of
Reviewboard now that Phabricator is fully up and running for hosting
of code reviews.

Phase 1: Commences September 2: All repositories are closed for
accepting new reviews on Reviewboard. A notice is added to the top of
the main page indicating that reviews should now be done on
Phabricator.

Phase 2: Commences September 16: Login to Reviewboard is disabled, and
final backups are taken.

KMarkdownWebView (kpart) in KDE Review

By Friedrich W. H.... at 08/21/2017 - 18:18

Hi,

KMarkdownWebView today entered KDE Review. This repo contains a kpart for
rendered display of Markdown files, using web technologies (webpage with
JavaScript library which creates HTML from the plaintext handed in).

I consider it rather a hack and would favour something done natively in Qt
(e.g. like the Markdown Okular generator in <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/">https://phabricator.kde.org/</a>
D7382). But for now it serves the use-case of providing a webpage-like
rendered display of markdown documents.

kdelibs-4.14.35 bug report

By David Binderman at 08/18/2017 - 03:25

Hello there,

Some suspicious code:

[kdelibs-4.14.35/kde3support/kdeui/k3listview.cpp:505]: (style) Same expression on both sides of '||'.

Source code is

if ( ca == Qt::AlignLeft || ca == Qt::AlignLeft ) {

Maybe better code

if ( ca == Qt::AlignLeft || ca == Qt::AlignRight ) {

kdesrc-build: git pre-commit hooks

By Allen Winter at 07/29/2017 - 18:24

Howdy,

Is there a way to add a git hooks automagically with the git clones done by kdesrc-build?

I have a pre-commit hook that I'd like to have for all my kde src repos.
also I have a pre-push hook , but that's less important to me.

a post clone command, something as simple this would be enough:
ln -s /path/to/my/githooks/pre-commit.py .git/hooks/pre-commit

hanging in kdialog

By Jos van den Oever at 07/28/2017 - 04:50

Hi all,

KDialog can get stuck waiting for some dbus reply in certain setups. Here is a
short command-line that demonstrates this.

docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -ti --rm
kdeneon/plasma:dev-unstable kdialog --msgbox 'wait for it'

This runs kdialog in a docker environment. Some services are not available
there. The hang is due to a KNotification as you can see from the backtrace.

I've also attached the output from dbus-monitor with an indication of where
the hang starts.

Not all arguments to kdialog have this problem.

libqaccessibilityclient now in kdereview

By Jonathan Riddell at 07/25/2017 - 07:25

libqaccessibilityclient is now in kdereview. It's in a git repo
called libkdeaccessibilityclient but we filed a sysadmin request to
rename it.

We just released 0.2.0 in unstable (for some reason 0.1.1 was released
in stable some years ago).

What is it?
========
Since it's hard to grasp all the bits related to accessibility, I'll try to
explain what the lib is for.
Most of the stack is part of Qt 5, so nothing to worry about, that's the part
that lets applications expose their UI over DBus for AT-SPI, so they work
nicely with assisitve tools (e.g. Orca).

KUserFeedback in/on its way to KDE Review

By Volker Krause at 06/24/2017 - 05:37

Hi,

I've asked for KUserFeedback to be moved to KDE Review, aiming for extragear/
libs initially, with a possible future option to continue on to frameworks.

KUserFeedback is a framework for gathering user feedback using application
telemetry and targeted surveys while providing decent transparency and control
to the user.

For more details see the previous announcement on this list here: https://
marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=149294623025111&w=2 Since then we also got a QML
API and a few more data sources, and KUserFeedback has been shipped with the
recent GammaRay 2.8 release.

who is authorised to move repos around?

By Jonathan Riddell at 06/21/2017 - 12:14

I'm unclear who is authorised to move git repos around, e.g. from
playground to kdereview to kde-extra

It used to be only sysadmins which seems like a political burden on a tech team.

Now anyone can edit repo-metadata. So can anyone move repos around as
long as rules and conventions are followed?

I wonder if it should be a task moved to a team such as the release
team (but then that's not a well defined team).

I'm asked because I was asked to review atcore being moved around

Elisa is in kdereview

By Matthieu Gallien at 06/16/2017 - 16:44

Hello,

Elisa is now in kdereview and aiming for extragear/multimedia.

It is a music player from a design from Andrew Lake.
It is using Qt multimedia for playback and a few KDE frameworks. Its UI is
using Qml.

Its aim is to be simple to use and hopefully in the future powerfull when
needed.

It should be usable without needing online services but will use them in the
future.

A few integration bits are missing with respect to Baloo before I can do a
release.

clazy is in kdereview

By Sergio Martins at 06/16/2017 - 10:24

Hi all,

clazy is a clang plugin which allows clang to understand Qt semantics.
You get more than 50 Qt related compiler warnings, ranging from
unneeded memory allocations to misusage of API, including fix-its for
automatic refactoring.

It's being used by many people, it's stable, has 4000 lines of
unit-tests, also works on macOS, Windows nowadays and is tested in
many distros (via docker) regularly.

The proposed location is extragear/sdk (seems that's where other
development utils are)

Happy reviewing!

Sergio Martins

We'd like to add project plasma-browser-integration into KDE[0].

The goal is to make chrome and firefox integrate better into a Plasma
desktop environment through browser extensions.

How?:
Firefox and chrome (and potentially others) allow plugins to talk to a
native binary host [1]. This binary host is launched by the the browser and
has a socket to a conventional browser extension.

that it gets the usual review period. The aim is to have in in extragear/pim

How to launch .desktop files properly?

By Lubos Lunak at 05/03/2017 - 07:02

Hello,

specifically in this case, how should ksmserver properly launch autostart
apps, when they are specified by their .desktop files?

When the autostart launching code was moved from klauncher to ksmserver by
[1], it replaced the launching by simply using QProcess, which caused a
number of problems such as not parsing the Exec line properly (fixed by [2]),
ksmserver discarded all stderr of launched apps instead of them going to
~/.xsession-errors, and launched apps getting killed by SIGPIPE under
specific circumstances.

kde-open5 bug help needed

By Andrea Scarpino at 05/03/2017 - 06:06

Hi all,

I hit a bug[1][2] in kde-open5 when using
QDesktopServices::openUrl(myUrl) to open the system browser.

The issue is that, since myUrl redirects to another page, kde-open5
(used under the hood by QDesktopServices because
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE is set) "fetches" the redirection url and then
open the browser at the redirected url; for my workflow this is bad
because myUrl generate a cookie and then you have no such cookie when
the browser starts.

I debugged the flow and I understood that since
redirectionHandlingEnabled is enabled by default, this[3] statement in
transferjob.cpp handl

Application usage statistics and targeted user surveys

By Volker Krause at 04/23/2017 - 06:52

Hi,

we have talked about the above topics a couple of times in the past, from what
I remember usually agreeing it would be nice to have some more statistical
information about our users, so we know what our applications are used for,
and to measure impact of changes. Similarly, it would be nice to be able to
actually ask our users questions without statistical bias by using out-of-band
channels like blogs or social media.

Licensing issues in Parley: GPLv2+ vs GPLv3+

By Luca Beltrame at 04/22/2017 - 09:44

Hello,

legal checks in openSUSE have found a licensing issue in Parley:

"statisticslegendwidget.cpp" is licensed GPLv3+, while the rest of the
software is GPLv2+ licensed.

That makes parley GPLv3+, however the COPYING file still lists GPLv2 as the
license. The best solution would be to relicense the file to GPLv2+.

Would you (who are listed in the copyright headers: Inge Wallin and Andreas
Xavier) allow for this relicensing?

Thanks.

KDirWatch issue

By Martin Koller at 04/22/2017 - 07:05

Hi,

just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or there really is a bug in KDirWatch
(I'm on openSuse Leap 42.2, KF5 5.33.0)

From the docs I understand that when I call

KDirWatch::stopDirScan(dir);
... create files in the dir ...
KDirWatch::restartDirScan(dir)

it should not emit the dirty signal when I run this, right ?

Well, it does.
I've attached a small test.

When I modify the code and use stopScan() ... create ... startScan()
I still receive the dirty signal with the path to the file I created.

Only way it works without signal is
removeDir(dir) ... create ...

kdereview - xdg-desktop-portal-kde

By Jan Grulich at 04/21/2017 - 02:10

Hi,

I would like to request review of xdg-desktop-portal-kde [1]. We would like to
make it part of Plasma releases, see [2].

What is xdg-desktop-portal-kde:
It's a KDE implementation of Flatpak portals backend [3], currently with
support of AppChooser, FileChooser, Notification and Print portals.

One mentioned issue on plasma-devel mailing list was usage of Qt's private
print API. This will most likely go away if I find out it's useless, otherwise
I'll have to keep it as it's used to set CUPS properties which are not
available to the outside world.

How to install icons for multiple themes

By Milian Wolff at 04/17/2017 - 16:27

Hey all,

how is one supposed to install different versions of icons for different icon
themes? Say I have an icon for breeze, breeze-dark and oxygen. I went ahead
and plumbed it into CMake with ECM's ecm_install_icons specifying THEME
accordingly, but at runtime nothing is found...

imagewriter in kdereview

By Jonathan Riddell at 04/07/2017 - 10:21

Please review imagewriter which I've just had moved to kdereview.

It's a simple tool to write ISO images to a USB key. It should be
cross platform and work on Linux, mac, windows.

It's based on ROSA Image Writer and the ROSA maintainer has agreed to
maintain it in KDE. Compared to ROSA I've switched to i18n and used
kauth and made the ROSA branding optional.

Scarlett has started making an AppImage for it although I don't know
if it'll work with KAuth

karchive and QSaveFile

By Boudewijn Rempt at 03/28/2017 - 05:54

I'm trying to make Krita use QSaveFile instead of the home-grown
mess of temporary files that get copied over the original file
after saving succeeded. The problem is that Krita, like Calligra,
uses KArchive.

Communication with Phabricator upstream

By Ben Cooksley at 03/09/2017 - 05:03

Hi everyone,

Just repeating my last email on this subject as it seems some folks
have missed the previous memo.

All issues with Phabricator should be logged at
<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/phabricator/" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/phabricator/">https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/phabricator/</a> - not with upstream.

This is being done to avoid duplicate tasks, and to allow us to
communicate on a whole of project basis the things we consider
important. This helps simplify things for upstream.

Thanks,
Ben Cooksley

Migration of Download Infrastructure: Please check your applications

By Ben Cooksley at 02/24/2017 - 19:15

Hi all,

Sysadmin have now completed the migration of our file distribution
systems, download.kde.org and files.kde.org, to a new server.

Project Releases: Infrastructure Migration

By Ben Cooksley at 02/22/2017 - 02:14

Hi everyone,

To allow for Sysadmin to migrate the primary host for download.kde.org
and files.kde.org to another server (with significantly more disk
space) we'll need to make both of those read only for a period of time
this weekend.

During this period, it will not be possible to add/remove files to
those trees - which means projects will not be able to make releases.

To the knowledge of Sysadmin, this does not affect the release of any
project, however anyone who had plans should please contact us
immediately.

Regards,
Ben Cooksley
KDE Sysadmin
