Meeting Time

PolicyKit integration:

kde-settings and KDE 4:

KDE 4 wants the profile directory settings in /etc/kde4rc, not /etc/kderc.
kde-settings now creates that file.
There is also a bug in kdelibs where kdeglobals isn't found in the profile directory which is now fixed by a patch.
So our fedora specific KDE settings are being honored now.

last preparations for the beta:

khelpcenter issue for KDE 3 apps is fixed in kdebase-runtime.
Package naming change: qt -> qt3 / qt4 -> qt
The proper provides will be added to qt(3) after the meeting and it will be included in Fedora 9 Beta.
The renaming of the packages will happen ASAP but after the beta.
kdm and SELinux (#421951 ):
kdm should now be able to login the user but still prints some warnings.
KevinKofler tracked down the code that is most likely what SELinux doesn't like.
Because the issue is down to warnings it isn't a blocker anymore but it's still worth to be fixed.
We're waiting for DanielWalsh at the moment if he could help us with it.

knetworkmanager
knetworkmanager will be made EOL because there is not much progress of supporting NetworkManager-0.7 und current svn code is still busted and would also lack features in comparison to nm-applet.
Without knetworkmanager being a dummy package for nm-applet we could do parallel testing with the real knetworkmanager when it actually builds.
DennisGilmore will set up a FAQ for knetworkmanager on this.
NetworkManager-gnome will be installed by default on the live images.
If it will be default also in @kde-desktop will be decided later and depends on if Networkmanager will be used in default setup in Fedora 9.
