KDE/Mac Binaries Updated

| 17 Comments | 2 TrackBacks

The KDE/Mac binaries on kde.opendarwin.org have (finally) been updated. No new macosx-specific "features", just getting everything up-to-date to make it possible to do some real development on them again.

For more info on building and other such things, see the faq.

Yay!

I actually had KDE 3.2.1 ready the same day as the tarballs were released! =)

The Fink announcement is here. The official KDE announcement is here.

Let me know if you run into problems, this one seems stable enough that it might be worth moving to Fink stable.

[Update:] Just a reminder, if you have problems, please don't just post to the blog comments, e-mail me instead.

Sunday, Medium Rare Sunday

It's a nice lazy Sunday afternoon. My roommate and I got a grill, we're cookin' up burgers, and it's a nice 66 degrees outside.

I've got an XFree86 4.4 package working, it seems to run really nice. It's pending inclusion in unstable after we decide how we want to handle the licensing issue. The main question now is, do we stand with the other distros in not releasing 4.4 packages so that XFree86 is more likely to unkink their licensing, or do we release anyways (since it seems like, at least, there isn't a conflict anymore)?

Also, I've basically got KDE 3.2.1 done now. I'm finishing up the test builds on 10.3, but I see no reason it won't be releasable to coincide with the tarball release from the KDE folks.

I've got my KDE/Mac toolset put back together and I'm through kdelibs in building everything again (including an update to Qt 3.3.1, I've gotta get packages put together and up on the KDE binary page).

Things are moving along in a generally forward direction, as mom would say. I'll keep you posted when I get new KDE/Mac binaries together and ready for perusal.

KDE 3.2.1 Packaged, XFree86 4.4 Update

| No Comments

KDE 3.2.1 was released to packagers in the last week or so. The packaging went pretty easily, I expect to be able to release on or shortly after the tarballs are publicly available.

Also, Torrey Lyons posted an informative message (archives/archives) to the x11-users list discussing the licensing issues for XFree86 4.4. What he says makes sense, I'm gonna run it by the other Fink core members and I'm working on packaging 4.4 final right now, to make sure it builds OK.

You be the judge.

(OK, Ian Meyer did this. And he says I am strange...)
