Revision as of 11:14, 6 September 2014
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)
Hot topics:
- The never-ending meinproc issue (test patch suggested by René in comment 11) - Q: Are we still lacking a reproducible way to trigger these crashes?
- Ian's RRs for kcrash, kinit and Dr. Konqi
- René's RRs for KDE's wallet (kdelibs for KDE4 and on KF5 kwallet & kauth)
- Project idea: How about a Spotlight backend to replace Baloo in OS X, so that we can have a "semantic desktop" without having to run another indexing framework? (See e.g. also Brad's post on KDE-MAC)
- Parallel installation of qt4 and qt5 (see also MacPorts' ticket #44193)
- How to get arguments "into" applications not launched from a command line but through LaunchServices? (See this discussion on KDE-MAC)
- ...
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)
- ...
