Hi.

With just a *little* delay here is the summary for the KDE project
20090618 meeting. You can find the summary [1] and log [2] at
our dev space [3] as well.

Given the 2 months that have passed by since, you may want to read the
summary for the 20090820 summary mail that will be following in a few
minutes.
Given that a few of us were on vacations and or slacking, we didn't had
the planned 20090716 meeting.


For the KDE team,

Rollcall:
yngwin, scarabeus, tampakrap (delayed), hwoarang, spatz, Pessa, alexxy, reavertm, \
                wired, patrick, jmbsvicetto (late)
Carlo: slackermark

Topics:

Formulate some kind of official policy for qt3 apps and their future
- Qt3 apps will follow the KDE3 example and will share one overlay for the stuff with \
                it. Users will maintain it.
- Addition to main tree of new Qt3 apps is *highly* discouraged.
- Qt3 useflag is being marked as discouraged (removal from profiles and so on) since \
                NOW :]
- A draft with ideas for it will be sent to the -dev ml by yngwin

Solving the python issues within KDE4 - currently with +kdeprefix KDE 4.2 and 4.3 \
can't live next to each other due to packages installed into site-packages for \
                python.
- the issues running new pykde with old pykde using apps must be tested (pykde from \
                4.3 and python apps from 4.2)
- if above test prove not working, KDE misc apps will be forced to look into slotted \
                dir in site-packages folder
- will be done by reavertm and patrick
- this issue is a stabilisation blocker

Solving the final question about kdeprefix.
- voting about kdeprefix mask in profiles (users can still unmask it, but kde is not \
as solid as with -kdeprefix) For this vote our HT reavertm was allowed to vote since \
he is one of the few whom spent their time on it and are capable of handling \
kdeprefix. reavertm = mask
scarabeus = mask
jmbsvicetto = can live with mask
patrick = abstain
alexxy = mask
- outcome was that it will be masked in profiles.
- alexxy will add the mask and adjust the guide.

Handle the PyQt3 qscintilla dependencies
- it seems that the Qt team has not decided if there is an issue or not. :P
- it will probably be mostly fixed by removal of Qt3 from profile. See topic no. 1.
- amarok will have python useflag removed and needed scripts will be removed
- introduce blocker between PyQt and PyQt4

KDE 4 Stabilisation.
- Jorge decided to target 4.2 for stabilisation.
- stabilisation bug will have to be opened
- tracking bug will have to be opened and bugs wrangled (volunteers??)

Review the useflags we enable by default in Qt herd
- rename gtkstyle to gtk in qt-gui
- drop IUSE defaults for useflags enabled by desktop profiles

Progress of KDE3 mess and way how anyone can help (here we call even for non-kdeteam \
                devs)
- KDE3 misc apps are slowly moving forward
  mail to dev asking for help :]
- arts flag removal is also slowly moving
  (scarabeus will remove optional dep on arts by blocking it in eclass if scarabeus \
get some time, or anyone else can do it)  mail the dev ml announcing its death, and \
                asking maintainers for cooperation.
- mail the dev ml announcing we need some KDE3 dedicated dev
