I was notified today that the Krazy runs on the EBN have been stuck (due to a stale lockfile)
for over 3 months.

craft help me with this one. kdiff3 doesn't require any special setup in
craft.

Just passed kdereview and moved into extra/base is Plasma Active Window Control.

Plasma Active Window Control is a plasma widget that you can embed in
your panel to control your active window with e.g. close or maximise
operations. Useful for decorationless window management.

New maintainer is Chris Holland. Do say hello.

Welcome the following projects which passed kdereview process

plasma-simplemenu now in selfrelease/extra and released on store.kde.org
pulseaudio-qt now in selfrelease/extra and released on download.kde.org
rust-qt-binding-generator now in selfrelease/extra
plasma-redshift-control now in selfrelease/extra

We really do need to sort out the terminology for
extragear/extra/self-released things.

Latte is a dock based on plasma frameworks that provides an elegant
and intuitive experience for your tasks and plasmoids. It animates its
contents by using parabolic zoom effect and tries to be there only
when it is needed.

It's been part of KDE for a while but the incubation process stalled.
With the creation of a new home wiki page
<a href="https://community.kde.org/LatteDock" title="https://community.kde.org/LatteDock">https://community.kde.org/LatteDock</a> and User wiki page
<a href="https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/" title="https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/">https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/</a> I've been able to set the
incubation to green.

I've made a list of kdereview projects and their current status as I
understand them and e-mailed the maintainers for updates
<a href="https://community.kde.org/KDEReview" title="https://community.kde.org/KDEReview">https://community.kde.org/KDEReview</a>
(this is linked from the lifecycle wiki page).

Feel free to help keep that page up to date.

I moved kpeg and kdot to unmaintained as they haven't had any activity
since we last discussed them in 2017.

I'm looking to tag for 1.8 at the end of the week. If more time is needed
let me know. Binary files are ignored during diff generation due tomorrow
assumptions in the under laying code the require a text file. The plan is
allow simple is equal comparison with but binaries. However the current
comparison code does not respond well to such files.

12th January 2019. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.54.0.

KDE Frameworks are 79 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide
variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well
tested libraries with friendly licensing terms.

Hi all,

We've just completed the migration of Bugzilla from a previous system
to a newer system. While this hasn't changed Bugzilla itself much, it
did involve an update from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 18.04.

From our testing everything appears to be operating correctly.

Should anyone see anything unusual or broken, please let Sysadmin know.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi folks,

back in May I wrote a Plasma applet that serves as a GUI frontend for the pass
password manager [0]. I blogged about it [1], but then somewhat forgot to make
a release etc. Recently I started getting some emails from packagers where to
get a tarballs so I think it's time to get some translations in and start
doing official releases. Thus I'd like to ask for a review for inclusion in
extragear.

The way pass works is it has a directory in which each password is stored in a
PGP-encrypted file, the name of the file is the name of the password.

Hello,
The need: 4-digit year support for short date formats to avoid issues like
"10/11/12" dates.

This is just my initial conclusion from for the Qt date format issue:

<a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59382?focusedCommentId=436861&amp;page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-436861" title="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59382?focusedCommentId=436861&amp;page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-436861">https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59382?focusedCommentId=436861&amp;page...</a>
lt;dr: KF5 context: KCallendarSystem is part of the old APIs and the only
code I found related to LC_TIME.

So I've not found any common code KDE app can use instead of hard coding
some internal logic in order to support non-Plasma environments and/or
non-global settings.

Hi all,

In order to allow for hardware maintenance, one of our physical
hardware hosts will need to be shutdown for a few hours on Monday.
This downtime will commence around 9:30am UTC and may take several
hours.

During this time a number of sites will be inaccessible, including:
- <a href="http://www.kde.org" title="www.kde.org">www.kde.org</a>
- autoconfig.kde.org
- docs.kde.org
- ev.kde.org
- freebsd.kde.org
- hig.kde.org
- kdesrc-build.kde.org
- neon.kde.org
- releases.neon.kde.org
- networkcheck.kde.org
- planet.kde.org

Other websites within KDE.org that are dependent on resources hosted
on those sites may also experience delayed loading

Hi all,

We've just received notice that both disks in the server hosting
Phabricator, along with our Git and Subversion repositories have
failed their SMART self-assessment tests.

I have now requested replacement of one of those disks, and once the
array has been rebuilt will request the second be replaced.

To preserve our data in the meantime I have shutdown the container
hosting Phabricator/Git/Subversion, so they will be unavailable for
the next few hours.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Ben Cooksley

08th September 2018. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.50.0.

KDE Frameworks are 79 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of·
commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested·
libraries with friendly licensing terms.

Hi all,

Currently CI jobs are all created within a flat namespace, meaning
that it is quite difficult to view the overall status of an individual
project. Additionally, it creates the issue that the main default view
can take a significant amount of time to load.

To resolve this we intend to shift everything within Folders in
Jenkins.

Kdiff3 has moved to review in preparation for possible release testing. I
am currently working towards having auto testing but the code needs major
refactoring to make this possible. Specifically it is not well modularized.
The purpose of this review is to get feedback on issues that need to be
addressed before moving out of playground.

Hello developers,

So in last few days I and Ben has been working on setting up the staging
repositories for phabricator.

Hi all,

It would be nice to install .qmlc files in addition to .qml files to
reduce start-up time of applications.
They are generated with qmlcachegen. For Qt 5.11:
qmlcachegen -o example.qmlc qxample.qml

Currently qml files are usually installed the following way:
install(DIRECTORY qml/ DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_QMLDIR}/org/kde/kcm)

So this could be changed to something like
ecm_install_qml(qml org/kde/kcm)

I wonder whether someone already working on this or want to implement
such a function?
If not, I'll try to do it myself.

Cheers,
Alexander.

Hi all,

In order to allow for two replacement physical build hosts to be
rotated in and the old ones to be decommissioned, i'm scheduling some
downtime for both the CI system and the Binary Factory tomorrow.

Assuming all goes well, this downtime should be fairly short. During
the downtime Jenkins will still be accessible, however builds will not
trigger on push as they usually do.
