Mac/IRCMeetings

Here we list the current problems of KDE software on Mac OS X and then try to find people that can fix them. For this we will organize IRC meetings and search a date via Doodle.

List of current problems

(Short description, link to reviewboard or git commits)

Other stuff:

• the never-ending meinproc issue (test patch suggested by René in comment 11)
• Ian's RRs for kcrash, kinit and Dr. Konqi
• RRs for KDE's wallet (kdelibs for KDE4 and on KF5 kwallet & kauth)
• ...

CI system:

• Qt5:
  • Suggestion to introduce an application for testing config paths and access to files installed by cmake or created at runtime (perhaps a a nice example app for the KF5 book team?)
  • Automating CI for OSX would require the CI configuration to be done using a Jenkins job-builder
  • Move documentation from MacPorts' wiki to KDE?
  • ...

• Qt4:
  • Since KDE 4 is going to be alive for quite some time to come, especially on OSX, it might be useful to get an OSX/CI system for Qt4/KDE4 up and running, which would very likely require to integrate all the MacPorts-specific patches in port qt4-mac
  • ...

Qt5:

• Urgently required patch for QStandardPaths suitable for OSX needed to make most KF5 apps run successfully (especially on OSX/CI)
• Qt5's sources need a patch which enables theming on OSX (see KIcon thread on K-F-D, BUT according to P@sNox it could be, that installing oxgygen-icons already fixes this issue -> one needs to make sure that QIcon::searchPaths() finds the installed theme, this also requires to remove the dependency to port qt4-mac in the oxygen-icons port)
