Mandriva does not want to have the NetworkManager back-end in KDE Solid in the distribution. The problem is that this back-end is part of kdebase-workspace in main, while networkmanager is in contrib. I have made a separate, stand-alone package for this back-end which could have gone in contrib, but KDE team does not even want to accept that because the source is already included in main (even if uncompiled).
Is this something which could go in PLF? For reference, I add the SPEC file so you can get an idea about how it works. Based on this package, we could then later create a package which contains the KDE GUI for networkmanager (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdereview/networkmanagement/) %define snapshot r1052408 %define srcname networkmanager-0.7 Name: kdebase-workspace-networkmanager Summary: KDE Solid back-end for NetworkManager 0.7 Version: 4.4 Release: %mkrel 0.%{snapshot}.1 Group: System/Configuration/Networking License: GPLv2+ URL: http://www.kde.org #svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/solid/networkmanager-0.7 Source0: %{srcname}.%{snapshot}.tar.xz # Make it build stand-alone (by Adam Pigg) Patch0: networkmanager-0.7-cmake.patch BuildRequires: libnm-util-devel BuildRequires: kdebase4-workspace-devel Requires: networkmanager BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-buildroot %description This Solid module provides support for NetworkManager 0.7. %prep %setup -q -n %{srcname} %patch0 -p1 -b .cmake %build %cmake_kde4 %make %install rm -rf %{buildroot} %makeinstall_std -C build %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %files %defattr(-,root,root) %{_datadir}/kde4/services/solidbackends/solid_networkmanager07.desktop %{_iconsdir}/oxygen/*/apps/networkmanager.png %{_libdir}/kde4/solid_networkmanager07.so -- Frederik Himpe <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
