Comment(by dj@…):
Wow that was fast! Excellent work! Couple of quick suggestions:[[BR]]
1. Use the /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh: Pretty much everyone should be using
/etc/profile.d, or at very least allow for it even if they have a
monolithic /etc/profile, as udev, u*, polkit, and other related items
explicitly depend on it. Something like:[[BR]]
[[BR]]
{{{
cat > /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh
KDE4_PREFIX=/opt/kde4
pathappend ${KDE4_PREFIX}/bin PATH
pathappend ${KDE4_PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
pathappend ${KDE4_PREFIX}/lib/python2.7/site-packages PYTHONPATH
export KDE4_PREFIX PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH PYTHONPATH
# End /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh
}}}
pathprepend and pathremove are also functions available to anybody
following the book. XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should also be taken
care of here, right from the get go. Also, maybe a little bit of rewording
would be nice to separate the two so that a complete example can be given
for each.
[[BR]][[BR]]
2. All of the Non-KDE4 prerequisites have to be moved to their respective
sections. I haven't read the content, but I would suggest that once the
prereqs are committed, the rest should be added to the book ASAP so that
it gets more exposure and testing in the nightly renders, and then cleaned
up from there. The chapter entity can always be removed if it's not ready
by release time, but I seriously doubt that will be necessary as quite a
few people have shown interest in KDE4, just that nobody has taken the
initiative to complete/commit it.
