That’s for tomorrow. see you there

So. Finally, we got KDE 4 series in Debian/Testing, more accurate, KDE4.2.2.
Thanks to the rest of the Debian/KDE team for working on this, including sitting on their hands when wanting to fix bugs, and a special thanks to the Debian Release team for making this happen.

(PS.: and we beat gnome 2.26 in making it first to testing)

So. On Sunday, we worked through some of the bugs filed against KDE in Debian. Mostly, we cleaned up in old cruft, and a few bugs got forwarded.

A bunch of the Debian KDE people participated, and some KDE Bugsquad people also dropped by. And a special thanks goes to the apparant newcomer, Karl Ferdinand Ebert, for doing a fantastic work, and I also succeeded in getting Anne-Marie Mahfouf to take a look at the kdeedu reports.

We cleaned up in kdegraphics, kdeedu, kdeadmin and akregator reports, and did quite some work on the bug magnets of konqueror, kmail and kopete.

Total result was around 100 bugs down, and we discovered a few bugs that had hidden in between the others, that is actually packaging issues.
All in all a success, that definately should be repeated in a month or two.

This sunday, the 19th of april, at 11 CEST, I will start work my way thru many open filed against KDE in the Debian Bug Tracking System that really belongs at bugs.kde.org - or just doesn’t apply anymore.

Feel free to join in in #debian-kde on irc.debian.org aka oftc.

See you there.

My mobile phone recently stopped working, I handed it in for repair under warrenty. They fixed it, and flashed it with new firmware, removing all my settings and most importantly, my phone book.

So, dear all of you, please send me a text message with your name if you think you should be in my phone book.

And if anyone has any good backup strategies for phonebook and such of a nokia E71 for linux users, please use the comment field, preferably some thing nice clickyclicky thing that uses Qt4 or kdelibs of KDE 4

KDE4 is now finally fully in Debian unstable, including the fabulous settings migration tool known as Kaboom.
(At least for amd64 and i386 - the rest follows when the autobuilders catches up, S390 is taking the lead)

Celebrate.

easy. http://www.amazon.de/dp/B001CX5G8K/ + https://garage.maemo.org/projects/usb-otg-plugin/ + random usb thingie + n810 == success.

Recently, a new version of Gnash was uploaded to Debian by Miriam Ruiz.

The most important thing in the changelog from my point of view is the following:

• Using KDE4 instead of KDE3

So I kind of had to test how the KDE 4 thingies works.
Youtube: The “videos being watched right now”-animation works, but I can’t actually watch the movies.
Random flash advertisements plays nicely. Unfortunately. I was happy to avoid those.

Conclusion: Some things works, but mostly the annoying things.
