kdeaddons

[Allen Winter]

For my x86 FC6 system I seem to be picking up the kdeaddons from updates
rather than from kde-redhat.

The kdeaddons I'm getting requires kdemultimedia-extras for some reason.

Anyone else seeing this?

Is that a problem? (afaik, shouldn't be).

kdeaddons includes noatun plugins, and noatun is now in
kdemultimedia-extras. It *may* make sense moving these plugins out of
the main pkg, into something like kdeaddons-extras too. opinions?

Here are some issues, don't know if they matter all that much:

- When I did a yum update there was an unresolved dependency against
the noatun plugins -- the kdemultimedia-extras package was not
automagically found and installed for me. So I had to rpm --erase kdeaddons
so my yum update could continue.

- It seems strange to me that a package from updates (kdeaddons) depends
on a package from kde-redhat (kdemultimedia-extras)

- I completely trust the kde-redhat packages and get a little scared when I see a kdefoo
package installed from updates. I suppose I'll need to change my perceptions.

yum bug.

kdemultimedia-extras is also in Fedora Extras.

I'm helping in maintaining fedora's kde packages now (F7 and on anywa), so it
shouldn't be too strange. I'm continually working to get all of
kde-redhat modifcations/changes pushed back to fedora packaging... as
much as possible.

The end result will hopefully be that kde-redhat repo will get smaller
over time. The only items remaining here will be primarily
* stuff that I have not yet convinced my fellow fedora/kde maintainers
to accept.

You have a point here though, since F-7/kde-redhat packaging diverges
from (stock) FC-6 ones a bit, I'll work to get our (kde-redhat)
packaging built/ported more completely for FC-6 soon.

No worries.
You do a phenomenal job.

Thanks for all your great work.

Me too! I'd rather have my kde packages from kde-redhat, at least for FC6. It
would seem that much has changed with the packaging for FC7, but I'm not
ready for FC7 yet. Would still appreciate a little extra attention on the FC6
packages if/when you have the time, Rex.

And I just noticed that since going from 3.5.6 to 3.5.7 kde redhat packages,
that I no longer get a META-INF tab when looking at the file properties from
konq for a mp3 file. Do I need an extra package from livna? (I've currently
excluded 'kde\*' updates from extras.)
