Summary

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.
