Hi,
I had a single problem in downloading the source files. It appears
kde4-l10n-en_GB is not happy (and I assume all the other kde4-l10n-*):
- distinfo was incorrect with version 4.1.3
- the MASTER_SITES didn't work: unable to fetch file
I assume the first point is related to the second and I am hoping the second
is related to this being a beta release? Anywayz...
There were no problems in compiling KDE4 (and konq-plugins) with python26 and
db46 as defaults.
The following were are things that didn't work:
- strigi doesn't start: ("Failed to contact Strigi indexer (No such method
currentF..gi at object path '/nepomukstrigiservice' (signature ''))" -
displayed in 'Desktop Search - System Settings'
- Power Management (following doesn't work - that should):
+ Scaling: not supported,
+ CPU Policies: "no methods found",
+ suspend methods: "no methods found"
- Samba doesn't know about the default location for smb.conf
- There is a marked slowdown in rendering widgets on screen (with the same
compositing options as 4.1). Best example is System Settings -> Desktop ->
Desktop Effects -> All Effects
- HTTPS proxy doesn't work (have no idea why)
- SOCKS proxy doesn't work (does not even have a config option)
- krunner crashed once (no bt :-()
Unfortunately the proxy issues are very critical for me.
Otherwise, everything works and I can see a marked polishing of KDE4.
Great work :-)
