Meeting Time

Delta RPMs:

kpackagekit in its current version supports delta-rpms provided by yum-presto.
So the usual huge KDE updates would benefit from the smaller delta-rpms if enabled by default.
The current release decision for Fedora 11 is to not install yum-presto by default.
We'll stick with this decision: It's too late in the release cycle to push it on the KDE live images.

leonidas-kde-theme update:

The final version of leonidas-kde-theme was built and tagged today.
It matches the current leonidas-backgrounds (updated yesterday), adds two subpackages and re-enables labels.
The update should be tested by all available people.

KDE 4.2.3 update status:

KDE 4.2.3 is already available in updates-testing for F-9, F-10 and F-11.
Extragear packages for KDE 4.2.3 were built and will be submitted for updates-testing soon.
An update for the weather dataengine in kdebase-workspace will be backported from KDE 4.3 if testing goes fine.

Qt 4.5.1 update status:

Tracker bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=Qt451
Qt 4.5.1 is now in updates-testing for F-11 and F-10, F-9 will be added with the next push.
Two regressions in Qt 4.5.0 are fixed by this update (texmaker, jabbim), but three new regressions appeared (rssnow plasmoid, ksysguard, Amarok 2.0).
The status of regressions vs. fixes will be evaluated in a week.
Two patches are worth considering a backport:
- A possible fix for the rendering issues: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/2e3a5ea4434d19fbdb90996e71961f0791ea6487
- A fix for a leak of file descriptors in QTemporaryFile: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/42e2070925d012845db9cf85e597a17851a0dcb6

Open discussion:

strigi-0.6.4-4.fc10 will be pushed to stable although it was reported to not fix [#496620] completely: smb:/// apparently still crashes, but at least the crash when checking the properties of / was fixed.
Importing KDE 4.2.85 in F12 was started.
