So, should I commit the cmake-page now?
Why not go ahead and commit what you can for KDE4 core? If it is not ready by release, we can simply remove the entire chapter in the release branch. One thing that I'd like to point out is that anything that requires a git pull should be exported, given a version (dated or otherwise), and hosted on Anduin. I plan to do the same for Trinity, using a pull right after the cmake changes went in which amounts to 3.5.12 + cmake + BerkelyDB5 support and I still plan to replace KDE-3.5.10 with Trinity-3.5.12 for this release so even if KDE-4 doesn't get done, we'll still have an update to the KDE section. If you elect to move forward, please create a new chapter for KDE-4 using KDE-3 as a template (I'll be doing the same for Trinity). Since Serghei Amelian just made an announcement on list, I'll be hitting him up for some assistance on the cmake changes for the alternate path and probably include them in the tarballs as opposed to patches since I have to roll my own anyway. Also, do you even plan to support an /opt/kde installation prefix or just /usr installation? -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
