KDE/KDE on openSUSE11.0

From openSUSE

Going with KDE 4.0 in openSUSE 11.0

Blockers

• Translation (dirk)
  • port desktop-translations
  • support doc-bundle and locale-bundle fallbacks
  • merge kdepim4 translations or create extra packages
• first-time KDE4 configuration migration wizard (Bugzilla, dirk)
• frontend for NetworkManager 0.7 (hschaa, bille)

kdepim 4.1

• KDE PIM 4.1 Plans, shares release schedule with KDE 4.1
• mostly a port of kdepim 3.5.9 to KDE4, will not make use of akonadi
• works (with few backported 4.1 API) with kdelibs 4.0, test builds
• functionality tests (bille)

Important to have

• kpowersave port (danny) NEWPACKAGE

Nice-to-Have

• bring back Kickoff/10.3 functionality
  • drag and drop within Favorites (beineri)
  • context menu actions
    • "Put into Run Dialog"
    • Open menu editor context menu entries in "Applications"
    • "Advanced" operations context menu for files
  • search results (beineri)
    • search PATH for search term
    • search category names
    • recognize emails
    • indexer integration
    • bookmark search(?)
    • addressbook search(?)
  • application browser
    • switch back to top on click on tab
  • "Leave" tab
    • "Switch User"/"Restart System" sub-menus

Will not make it

• knetworkmanager/KDE4 for NetworkManager 0.7 (bille)
• Search toolbar: kio_beagle integration (beineri)
• kerry port (related Bugzilla, beineri)
• suseplugger port
• kdeprint 4.1 backport: description of Qt 4.4 print dialog, follow-up, Easter update - no code was committed upstream
• Simplified Software Installer (Beineri)
• OOo quick starter port
• OOo KDE integration port (asked kendy)
• KOffice 2.0, is going to be rather late and incomplete for 11.0
• Mac style separate menubar (Bugzilla [->llunak]
• Plasma: panel with multi-screen not working at all correctly (->llunak): Right vertical pane on xinerama screen 1 does not set workspace dimension correctly, No UI for xinerama/multiscreen panel location, if you're feeling bored
• Plasma: moving applets from desktop to panel misses visual feedback before drop (Bugzilla)
• Plasma: moving applets from panel to desktop missing (Bugzilla)
• Plasma: always spans full width/height (related Bugzilla)
• Gwenview KIPI support (listed as TODO in 4.1 feature plan)

Blockers for going with KDE 4.1

• KDE 4.1 will be released over one month after openSUSE 11.0
  • KDE 4.1 Release Schedule
  • Roadmap openSUSE 11.0
  • KDE 4.1 feature freeze coincides with openSUSE 11.0 Beta 1+
  • The latest version we would be able to include with granted exception seems KDE 4.1 Beta 1
  • We need to know whether online update to final KDE 4.1 will be allowed or not.
• plasma 4.1:
  • Plasma Roadmap
  • unclear when it is usable
