KDE 3.5.2! When will it be unmasked?

avieth · Veteran Joined: 17 Sep 2004 Posts: 1945 Location: Canada

I just noticed while scrolling through my package.mask that kde-3.5.2 packages were out, but hard masked. Is there a set release date when they will be unmasked?

There isn't any information about 3.5.2 even on http://kde.org

3.5.2 has been tagged in the KDE svn, but it has not officially been released yet, giving distributers time to package it. That way packages are ready as soon as the release announcement is made. So it will probably be unmasked shortly after the upstream release.

It should be available soon I'd guess.

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.2

Just the src missing right now it looks like.

I installed 3.5.2 last night on the laptop (kubuntu) and it works fine as would be expected.

And when KDE 3.5 will have a stable release AT ALL :?:

Still running 3.4.3 and I don't want to mess around with ~x86 kde :!:

Same here, still running good old 3.4.3. Enjoy testing and report to us

Dr. Arbeitslos, to answer your off-topic question, the package.mask is in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Kompiling 3.5.2 right now. I have kdelibs and few packages from kdebase. But during it I am trying whats new in khtml. Yes, as announced, acid2 is now displayed without scrollbars, buts its not important. Some pages which werent rendered properly in last Konqueror version, works nice in 3.5.2.

BTW: Right now I found, that here on phpbb forum, Konqueror is able to put emoticons, url, quote and others "codes" in place, where cursors sits. But I tried also some other phpbb forums, but there codes are inserted at the end of post. Is it problem of Konqi?

Eh, I never saw phpBB working completely right in Firefox either. Then again the last time I used Firefox was version 1.0.6.

They still need a way to disable colored scrollbars!

From people who have installed it, odds that this is the 3.5 release ultimately marked stable?

compiling right now (amd64)

wow ... kdeenablefinal makes gcc use all my system memory (512MB) + another 512MB of my 1GB swap ... even when no other processes are running (no KDE,X,cupsd,...) on emerge kmail. So it took ~ 2 hours to finish 'cause it was completely busy swapping in/out.
But all other packages seemed to fit fine in my RAM. :roll:

So far ... looks good - it is possible again to move desktop icons to positions that may be covered by auto-hidden-panels ... that was most annoying with 3.5.1 for me :)

What exactly does kdeenablefinal do anyways, it just says it takes up lots of memory but never what is does.

I guess what I meant to say is what exactly does kdeenablefinal do to increase compile times? It uses lots of memory but that is all I know.

kfiaciarka: do you have a patch for that eclass ? :wink:
