Bug ID: 467407
Summary: Packaging formats are completely random, sometimes get
not unpacked and stay in subdirectories
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-knewstuff
Version: 5.104.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ad...@leinir.dk
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The Knewstuff tool downloading addons from store.kde.org often doesnt work.
it works for
- Aurorae decos
- color schemes
- decorations
- scripts
- global designs (apart from ostree)
- background modules
- gtk styles
- background images
- krunner?
- pages
- fonts
- start screens
- symbols
- window switcher layouts
- pointers
it doesnt work for
- dolphin servicemenus
- sddm (another bug)
It seems the servicemenus are done completely randomly, sometimes need extra
unpacking or installation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a servicemenu
2. Try to use it
3. Look in the directories
OBSERVED RESULT
There is an extra directory called servicemenu-download, which doesnt work but
only catches the downloaded servicemenus. This has to be some workaround for an
unfinished project, and it doesnt work like that.
Also many servicemenus need to be unpacked to work.
EXPECTED RESULT
Servicemenus work no matter in what subdirectory of the servicemenu dir the
.desktop files are. All the program needs to do is download them to the right
directory, unpack them and if it succeeded delete the archive. This would solve
lots of currently occuring issues, where the backend doesnt work at all.
