I'm testing the F21 builds as they come out. So far, KDE is the only one working properly ;) 15:28:11 <rdieter> danofsatx-work: only one what? only spin/desktop ? 15:28:20 <danofsatx-work> yes 15:28:35 <rdieter> yay?!? 15:28:36 <danofsatx-work> Workstation doesn't work. KDE does. 15:28:37 <rdieter> :) 15:28:48 <danofsatx-work> down with GNOME! 15:29:01 <rdieter> danofsatx-work: meh, we don't need talk like that. 15:29:24 <rdieter> or are you channeling Kevin since hes not here? 15:29:37 <danofsatx-work> that was with tongue firmly in cheek ;) 15:29:42 <than> rdieter: hehe :) 15:30:08 <rdieter> still, we can and should be better than that, even in jest. 15:31:08 <danofsatx-work> ok, then.....Way to go team! We have the first working blocking desktop for Fedora Twenty One! 15:31:11 <rdieter> we want our community to be positive and welcoming 15:31:22 <rdieter> there we go! 15:31:36 <rdieter> moving on... 15:31:48 <rdieter> #topic formalize danofsatx-work as KDE WG member 15:32:20 <rdieter> we'd discussed this on irc and onlist over the past... well... awhile, and it's time to formalize it. 15:34:05 <rdieter> bleh, having trouble finding the wiki page about current members 15:34:46 <rdieter> please refer to kkofler's proposal onlist, if you recall. any questions or comments before we vote? 15:35:11 <pino|work> iirc didn't kevin update the membership list last week? 15:35:29 <rdieter> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kde/2014-June/013631.html 15:35:33 <danofsatx-work> he did, but I can't find that page 15:35:33 <rdieter> oh, maybe 15:35:34 <jgrulich> here is the wiki page, already updated https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Plasma_Product_Governance 15:35:43 <rdieter> oh goodie, well, nevermind then 15:36:01 <danofsatx-work> oh, there it is - thanks jgrulich 15:36:06 <rdieter> moving on... 15:36:27 <rdieter> #topic qt5 packages on kde spin 15:36:44 <rdieter> mbriza mentioned in #fedora-kde earlier that sddm recently dropped support for qt4... 15:36:57 <danofsatx-work> it did? I missed that 15:37:08 <danofsatx-work> so, what does that mean for us? 15:37:48 <rdieter> and, given that the workstation/desktop group intends to include qt5 runtime packages ... it would be more than a little ironic if we (kde spin) didn't do the same 15:38:30 <pino|work> out of curiosity, why do they include qt5? what they need it for? 15:39:05 <rdieter> pino|work: so it is part of the default installed runtime 15:39:20 <dvratil> pino|work, because even they think Qt is cool :-) 15:39:34 <pino|work> so nothing actually using it? 15:39:37 <rdieter> ie, so it is considered part of the workstation platform 15:40:07 <rdieter> users/isv's etc... can expect it to be present without any extra work 15:40:10 <dvratil> given that various projects are switching to Qt, it makes lot of sense - at some point they will have some basic application depending on Qt 15:40:19 <pino|work> interesting 15:40:42 <pino|work> (some) people never finish to surprise me 15:40:44 <rdieter> Kevin thinks including qt5 like that is silly... fwiw 15:40:56 <pino|work> m( 15:41:15 <rdieter> and on some level, he's right, but I still think it a good worthwhile move we should adopt too 15:41:22 <tosky> ehm, how should Qt be included to be included in the non-silly way? 15:41:32 <tosky> I mean, if it's included it's included... 15:41:48 <mbriza> i guess it's silly because nothing depends on it 15:41:52 <rdieter> tosky: non silly would be to include some applications that actually use it, rather than just the libraries/runtime support only 15:42:16 <tosky> oh, but that's the first step 15:42:30 <rdieter> <nod> 15:42:43 <pino|work> better something than nothing at all, especially if the idea comes from their side and not from us 15:42:52 <rdieter> in our case, we would (probably) have at least one thing using Qt5 now: sddm 15:43:08 <pino|work> ("those pushy kde packagers want to push qt5 even if not used" etc) 15:43:35 <rdieter> pino|work: I'm not sure where the idea originated honestly, but I've been pushing for it regardless 15:43:37 <mbriza> well, we can switch other apps and non-KDE libraries too after this 15:43:47 <rdieter> (as well as for kde-runtime too) 15:45:18 <rdieter> anyway, mbriza, do you anticipate any issues switching sddm over to Qt5 for our purpose(s)? 15:45:49 <mbriza> i don't, really 15:45:58 <mbriza> it's the same program, basically 15:46:14 <rdieter> ok, I assumed so, but was asking just in case 15:46:15 <mbriza> there was only a problem with intel drivers and qt5 (?) but it seems to be fixed 15:47:34 <mbriza> i just don't understand why they pushed so hard to remove qt4 support, i don't think it was causing any problems 15:48:02 <rdieter> somebody apparently thought it worthwhile 15:48:05 <dvratil> you can use C++11 awesomeness 15:48:14 * dvratil can't wait to kill Qt 4 in Akonadi 15:48:26 <mbriza> dvratil: what C++11 awesomeness you can't use with qt4? 15:48:49 <mbriza> oh well, at least we'll be able to run the new awesome Plasma5 SDDM theme 15:48:50 <dvratil> list initializers, function pointers in slots, lambda functions... 15:49:16 <mbriza> list initializers and lambda functions were just fine 15:49:29 <dvratil> not with Qt containers 15:49:48 <rdieter> of course its now +1 better too 15:50:13 <danofsatx-work> Is there any difference in writing themes for SDDM on qt5? 15:50:42 <mbriza> danofsatx-work: yes, qtquick 2.0 is a bit richer 15:50:57 <mbriza> dvratil: oh, yeah 15:51:05 <dvratil> also you can now import some Plasma 5 modules to get battery information, etc. 15:51:06 <mbriza> i guess i ran into that too 15:53:08 <rdieter> ok, I'll take the task of getting a good default set of qt5 packages included on kde spin (to essentially match what workstation intends to include too) 15:53:28 <mbriza> (cough) and what sddm requires too [: 15:53:30 <rdieter> mbriza: and feel free to switch sddm over to Qt5 at your convenience 15:54:01 <rdieter> mbriza: I assume sddm will include the proper dependencies to pull in what it needs without any help :) 15:54:23 <mbriza> yeah, yeah :) 15:54:31 <rdieter> mbriza: but when you get a chance, do let me know it's specific requirements so that I can verify it is met 15:55:17 <mbriza> it's qt5-qttools, qt5-qtquick, qt5-qtbase-gui, i think 15:55:33 <rdieter> #action rdieter to implement getting a good default set of qt5 packages included on kde spin 15:55:50 <rdieter> #action mbriza to switch sddm over to Qt5 15:55:57 <mbriza> oh, qtquick is not a separate package, so qt5-qtdeclarative? well, i'll take a look when i'm switching sddm 15:56:26 <rdieter> theres a qt5-qtquick1 and qt5-qtdeclarative, yeah. not confusing at all. :-/ 15:57:05 <rdieter> anything else on the topic? 15:58:06 <rdieter> moving on... 15:58:10 <rdieter> #topic open discussion 15:58:23 <rdieter> anything else to discuss today? else, we're about out of time anyway 15:58:37 <mbriza> is anybody here coming to flock, btw? 15:58:56 <rdieter> not I (unfortunately) 15:59:05 <dvratil> I created the kde-runtime update for F20 with split packages, so please try it and ++karma it, so we can have smooth Plasma 5 installation soon :) 16:00:23 <rdieter> dvratil: thanks 16:01:22 * rdieter will end meeting in 2min 16:04:55 <rdieter> thanks all! 16:04:57 <rdieter> #endmeeting
