Hey

our binary compatibility page [1] states that one should

"reimplement event in QObject-derived classes, even if the body for
the function is just calling the base class' implementation."

Does anyone know the reason this helps maintain BC?

Hello folks, as you know, I'm not a coder. However, I'm interested in our
code quality, and there has been some observation that "lots of patches get
missed, and submitters get confused due to a lack of auto-populated
reviewers" on Phabricator. Nate Graham has been adding groups to the
reviewers by hand, and would like to not do that any more.

However, many developers simply route all Phab emails to folders where they
sit unread, because Phab sends out an email for every event and comment!
This is far too spammy. In our move to Gitlab, we can do better.

keurocalc has been ported to KF5 but there seems to have been no release.
Does anyone plan to make a release? Or should it go into KDE Applications?
Or should it be marked as unmaintained?

Jonathan

Hi,

I'd llike to ask whether KMid is maintained or not:
- No release/significant commit since 2010
- Already mentioned as "unmaintained" in a bug 359424 [1]
- Still not migrated to git/KF5 yet

People,

I'v talked to Kurt and Nate this week about my current frustrations with
Phabricator, last week I got a few important patches messed up in the way
that only phab can do for you. And we agreed that a move to Gitlab is
desired, I talke to ben about it and he made me aware that this can impact
KDE release schedule.

So, here I'm, I don't know what can happen if a kde-core app moves to
gitlab now, I know that most of the apps there are from extragear. Maybe
it's time to shift more projects to it.

I'm adding Albert as cc since I belive that he knows this more than I do.

Best,
Tomaz

Hi all,

plasma-thunderbolt is a new repo containing, you guessed it, Thunderbolt KCM
for Plasma. I initially submitted the code as a patch against plasma-desktop
[0], where it got reviewed, but it was ultimately decided to better put it
into a separate repository, since it's not just a KCM but also a library and a
KDED module.

I'd like to suggest moving Simon to unmaintained.

It's still using kdelibs4

No significant commits for a couple of years

13th May 2019. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.58.0.

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.

I'd like to propose moving ksnapshot to unmaintained, it's had no code
commits since 2017 and still uses KDElibs4 and the functionality is
replaced by Spectacle.

Jonathan

Hi,

tl:dr
In your CMake code replace all remaining
add_test(<n> <c>)
with
add_test(NAME <n> COMMAND <c>)
to make sure test executables are still found once you bump the minimum ECM
version required >= 5.38.
And check your product on KDE CI, where not found test executables are now
properly reported as failure (everything got already up-to-date builds with
that change, if part of groups "Frameworks", "Applications" or "Extragear").
At least one project missed to see some unit-test regression on released
versions due to test executables not found and not run, without being
reported

Where do release files go after sys admin moves them? Where would they be
downloaded from?

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.

Jonathan

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.

Jonathan

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.

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
