 The only thing I see in the Copr is plasma 5.2 BETA.  Is that really
 still the beta version or has it been upgraded to the official
 released packages and just not renamed?

The latest packages in Copr are 5.2.0, which is final release.

Thanks, both issues have been fixed and builds are under way.

Upgrading KDE in rawhide to Plasma 5

2015-01-28 Thread Daniel Vrátil
Hi all,

this is an announcement that KDE SIG has pushed Plasma 5, the next major 
version of KDE workspaces, into rawhide as part of the Plasma 5 change for 
Fedora 22 [0].

The upgrade path from KDE 4 should be smooth and doable simply through yum 
update without any need for manual intervention, however if you run into any 
troubles related to Plasma/KDE we ask you to report them to KDE SIG.

If you want to know more about Plasma 5.2, you can check out the official

Plasma 5.2: Quintessential Breakdown [2] ;-).

For Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 users, Plasma 5 is still available through 
dvratil/plasma-5 Copr.

Re: Proposal: Increasing application icon sizes to 64px

 SVGs are not a silver bullet.

Well, it's better than bitmaps.

 You'd want a very different source SVG
 file for an icon that's designed to be displayed at 22x22, to an icon
 designed to be displayed at 256x256. 

The point is that even if you have a small SVG, you can still scale it up to 
256x256 without the icon being pixelated - yes, it will have fewer details, it 
will be obvious that it's not really aimed for the large resolution, but I 
think that's zillion times better than showing pixelated icons.

KDE apps sometimes provide different versions of SVG icons for different level 
of detail, but the cool thing here is that you only need to provide for 
example a small version - for 16x16 - 64x64 sizes, and a large version for 
128x128 and above - no need to maintain 6 bitmaps or so. Also with SVGZ 
(gzipped SVG) this can save some space.

 Plus, rendering SVGs with
 inkscape and rsvg sometimes output *very* different results...

Well, that's either bug in Inkscape or rsvg. Try Karbon (from the Calligra 
suite) :-)

 The package review request was: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/905615
 
 Nowhere is a comment that explains why the 230MB Qt source is included
 and used to build GammaRay. Isn't qt-devel-private sufficient?

Hi

it's documented in the very first comment:

The package needs Qt sources in order to have access to some private headers 
and sources that are not available in qt-devel and qt-devel-private

AFAIK this was necessary to get access to QPainter internals for painter 
introspection, and to build against the harfbuzz shipped with Qt sources.

Cheers,
Dan

 If this is an upstream KDE project, wouldn't it just be rolled into the main

The project will probably be merged in KDE 4.11 (released by August 2013).
Right now it is not shipped as part of KDE SC to allow shorter release cycle
and faster development.

 IMO, kscreen is going to have to do a lot of maturing before I'd want to use
 it. The version I tried kscreen-0.9.0-2.20121228git.fc19.x86_64 seemed to
 do almost nothing - when I tested by plugging external hdmi I like the
 original kde screen mangement much better.

Verison 0.9 is an old git snapshot, current official release is 0.0.71 (I
thought we will start official versioning from 1.0, thus I picked 0.9, but
Alex decided to use different versioning scheme at the end).

(lib)kscreen-1:0.0.71 is in updates-testing at the moment, please use this
version test (and sorry for the confusion).
