Bump to KDE 3.5.8: +The bump to KDE 3.5.8 is taking place in a git repository to allow for others +to take part, too, and avoid critisism like for the last bump. +This allows interested users to be "trained on the job" including the use of +our QA tools in a controlled environment outside the official tree. +Furthermore, the KDE 3.5.8 is not meant to be public until the release as per +upstream request. +Nevertheless, we will put the finished packages into the tree as package.masked +ASAP to allow arch teams and other devs to test. After that's done, a mail will +be sent to kde@g.o and the core mailinglist by Philantrop. + +2. KDE 3.5.8 in stable for 2007.1: +We will *try* to get KDE 3.5.8 into stable in time for 2007.1 but if we don't, +the world won't stop spinning. We will *not* inform the release guys about us +making it in time to not endanger their time frame needlessly if we don't make it. + +3. Changing to split ebuilds by default: +This suggestion was rejected by the participants for 3.5.x. We will make it the +default for KDE 4, though. + +4. State of KDE4 in the overlay(s): +KDE4 in the overlay is doing well. People are installing it, using it and are +reporting bugs. We currently have both monolithic and split ebuilds. +The participants decided 3:1 for keeping the monolithic ebuilds for KDE4. + +5. Miscellaneous +- A particpant asked for information on cmake ("crash course"). Any input is +appreciated. + +- cmake-utils.eclass. Several participants asked to get it into the tree. The final +remaining "showstopper" is the src_test function which is mostly a verbatim copy +of the one in ebuild.sh. We currently need it to determine if it's an in-source or +out-of-source build. Any input on this is appreciated. +Philantrop is going to re-submit the eclass to the dev mailinglist next week. + +- Arch Testers / Herd Testers. It was suggested to have Herd Testers for the KDE +herd as per GLEP 41. The suggestion was accepted by unanimous vote. +Philantrop will talk to hparker, the AT lead about it. +genstef and jmbsvicetto will prepare a draft for the project page and mail to +kde@g.o. + +- A participant suggested to move the scheduled meeting to the first Saturday of +each month. This was approved by unanimous vote. +keytoaster will update the project page accordingly. + +- Several participants asked about the Herd lead status as this is currently not +reflected on the project page. The participants asked keytoaster to add the +following to the project page directly above the "Members" box: +"We do not have a formal lead: Decisions can be made by every herd member but it usually is a good idea to ask Philantrop because he is around and knowledgable." + + +Tasks: +- Put the finished KDE 3.5.8 packages into the tree in p.mask by October, 14th 2007 +and inform kde@g.o and the core mailinglist about it.
