Tracking down a library bug
So today I had noticed I had build failures in quite a few modules that were based on errors linking to libkipi, involving undefined references to KIPI::ImageInfoShared::~ImageInfoShared()
.
15 years of KDE
I’m almost late to the party, but then it’s never too late to commemorate something as notable as 15 years of development.
2 new kdesrc-build releases
Desktop Summit 2011
For what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, events have conspired to prevent my attending Desktop Summit/Akademy. :( However, I did want to pass on my well-wishes for a successful summit, and hopefully some constructive interaction with our GNOME counterparts and other guests.
Good job Aaron
243 votes. 61 duplicated bugs (as of this post). 21 backtraces submitted as attachments. 5 months of troubleshooting. 1 detailed Valgrind log. And now, Aaron Seigo has figured out and fixed Bug 258706, a crash in Plasma related to the system tray (often but not always with Amarok).
Reminder of 4.7 soft feature freeze
Just as a heads-up for KDE developers, the current release plan for KDE SC 4.7 has Thursday 28 April as the deadline to have desired features added to the 4.7 Feature Plan, otherwise they have to wait for the next release.
Perl hijinks
So I’ve been trying to modularize my kdesrc-build Perl script (i.e. actually split it into logical objects/modules) and yet still retain it all into one script, the idea being to get the logic into a more understandable state where possible and overall make the codebase less brittle.
kdesrc-build 1.13
I’m too tired to go too deep into the changes in the kdesrc-build 1.13 release, but the largest is that module data from projects.kde.org can now be used to build git modules.
Library dependencies
I noticed someone encountered an issue with trying to find out what library is introducing dependencies into their program, and didn’t immediately think of a tool I’d written to do that, so obviously I am not “marketing” effectively. ;)
May you live in interesting times….
So, given the accelerating rate of KDE project migration to git.kde.org, I felt it was prudent to finally make a kdesrc-build release, for those who don’t follow kdesrc-build development in trunk.
