Revision as of 13:15, 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:


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)
  • ...
