nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read
this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of
any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also,
search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is
kde specific.

Best option for Qt5 on RHEL6
by Syam Krishnan
Hello
I'm planning to migrate to Qt5 on RHEL6. What is my best option of
installing it?
I tested with building Qt5 on CentOS6 and it works OK. But my usual
method on RHEL5 has been to download Fedora source RPMs from Koji and
build them on RHEL5. I would then create a custom RHEL DVD with these
packages so that Anaconda can install them for future installs.
Can I do the same with qt5* packages from Koji? Will I get the
*complete* parallel-installable Qt5 with that?
So far, I see the following packages (v5.1.1) on Koji:
qt5-qtbase
qt5-qtdeclarative
qt5-qtscript
qt5-qtsvg
qt5-qttools
qt5-qtwebkit
If Koji doesn't suit, my other option is to build Qt5 from the official
tar-ball and create a rather simple RPM from that so that I can include
it in a customized RHEL6 DVD for future installs.
So, please advice on my best option for Qt5/RHEL6..
By the way, I'm loving the KDE 4.10 packages for RHEL6 by Rex.. Thanks a
lot.. (any chance of 4.11 hitting EL6?, too greedy, heh ;-)
regards,
Syam

OT: Including a multilib rpm in the DVD
by Syam Krishnan
Hello,
This is part of an attempt to create a customized DVD image for RHEL6. How
do I include i686 version of a package in a x86_64 DVD?
To include a custom rpm, I copy it to the rpms folder and edit the XML file
to include it.
But for a multilib package how do I mention it in the XML file?
Adding the suffix ".i686" to the package name (as is done for yum to
install a specific arch) reportedly doesn't work. Anaconda reports missing
package error.
The discussion can be seen here:

Thanks and regards,

by Orion Poplawski
FYI - I'm building cmake 2.8.12-rc1 for rawhide now. Something to check
if your cmake builds suddenly have issues.

How to permanently delete a folder in Kmail?
by Lester M Petrie
Every time I open kmail, there are 4 folders (empty) that I can't seem to get
rid of. I will select one of the folders and click delete, and it
disappears, but next time I login, and kmail start up again, the folder is
back again. Any suggestions of how to make these permanent are more than
welcome.

heads up - Qt qreal difference on ARM
by Orion Poplawski
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.6/qtglobal.html#qreal-typedef
typedef qreal
Typedef for double on all platforms except for those using CPUs with ARM
architectures. On ARM-based platforms, qreal is a typedef for float for
performance reasons.
This still seems to be the case for 4.8 as well.
This lead to the following compile error on arm in kst:
/builddir/build/BUILD/kst-2.0.7/src/libkstapp/plotrenderitem.cpp:561:33:
error: no matching function for call to 'qMin(double&, qreal)'
y = qMin(y, plotItem()->yMax());
^
If there is scientific type codes using qreal this might lead to some
precision issues as well.
Is double really that much slower on arm?

Thanks for 4.10.95
by Colin J Thomson
Hi,
Thanks for providing the 4.10.90 and now 4.10.95 packages for F19 x86_64, the
usual smooth update and all seems to be working well so far on my main box
here.
I have found a couple of very minor of issues with no sound affects in Kwin
and kdeadmin, kde-l10n packages are still 4.10.5
Time permitting I'll go check kde.bugs regarding the lack of system sounds in
Kwin, minimise, desktop switching etc.
Thanks to all involved.
