Beta 1 is there.

That must be fun.

A couple of months ago I bought a new computer and I chose a dual-core processor because I occasionally use a source-based distro called Source Mage for fun, although I mainly spend time on my Debian system. My new computer has also 4 GB of RAM. With this kind of hardware setup, building stuff from source can be relatively fast, especially if you use ccache and do the compiling on tmpfs (in RAM, that is). Actually, using tmpfs doesn't seem to make that much difference in compile times, but ccache can save a lot of time when you install a newer version of a program that you've already installed before.BioTube wrote:He must have a dualcore.
In Debian I rarely need to compile anything.

copy the debian fold into to kde folder
run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -S (takes about a 20 seconds)
Then I move it to my source folder and run apt-get --build source kde
Not too hard.
I installed ubuntu intrepid and kde beta 1 but I thought kde is more stable (it crashed at least once a minute). I'll wait for a stable versionLux wrote:There exists a FAQ about this topic.daris wrote:When will the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 in experimental repo?

Hey, man...It's easy.
copy the debian fold into to kde folder
run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -S (takes about a 20 seconds)
Then I move it to my source folder and run apt-get --build source kde
Not too hard.
Would you mind ellaborating on that a bit? I am willing to do it and make the packages available for those who are interested in trying out KDE 4.2 in Debian.
Thanks!

Start with the debian svn
svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-kde/branches/kde4.2/
Go to kdelibs folder and look at the changelog. It will tell you the kde svn
revision number.
The download the module from kde
svn checkout --revision 889987
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/
Move the debian directory to the kde one.
run
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -S
just do that for whatever modules you want, then
apt-get build-dep module_name
apt-get --build source moudule_name
I have my own repos set but I only get about 40 - 60 KB/s upload speeds so it didn't seem worth sharing. (I use it on my home network for my wife and my computer)

Thanks
Thanks for the reply!
I'm getting this error, though...
and if I try to build it,
It's downloading kdelibs' sources from sid, where they are 3.5.10's...
I'll probably just try to 'fakeroot debian/rules binary', but I'm not sure that it's the best way...
Thanks for the help!

new problem...
things are coming along. i could build these packages already:
- kdelibs
- akonadi
- kdepimlibs
- phonon
- kdebase
kdebase has built kdebase-runtime along, but not kdebase-workspace.
while trying to build kdeartwork, kdebase-workspace came up as a requirement, so i went to build it before. i copied the kdebase-workspace/debian dir into kdebase/workspace (hoping that was right), generated the sources and:
i found python-kde.install inside kdebindings' debian/ folder, but kdebase-workspace is actually a build dependency of bindings...:
do I have to get python-kde4 from somewhere else?
thanks for all your help!

Today there were several commits in the debian svn repository so the python-kde4 dependency was removed from kdebase-workspace (this was a circular build dependency). I've accomplished to build from trunk:
akonadi
phonon
kdelibs
kdebase
kdegraphics
kdepimlibs
kdepim
kdebindings
kdenetwork
kdeutils
Thats all I need and it works well (there were some crashes, but hey - it's beta software!)
There are tags for KDE 4.2 beta2 in trunk now (KDE-4.1.85)

can't build kdelibs
I have just checked out the scripts from debian's svn and was trying to build the packages.
akonadi and phonon went fine, but kdelibs fails with this message:
Any clues?
Thanks!

I've been trying to follow Jackiebrown's instructions as well, but I'm stuck at the source package generation. Running "apt-get build-dep kdelibs5" after "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -S" just gives me this output:
Am I missing something here?

cheers!
Ana - do we monitor your blog or will it be posted on the Debian KDE 4 page?

I think he was replying to my question.Jackiebrown wrote:cassianoleal - ana is one of the kde debian maintainers.
Using kde4libs instead of kdelibs5 didn't do the trick either. But since Ana made the happy announcement I think I'm going to wait for the packages.
On the other hand it might be good to now how to make svn packages in the future (when work on 4.3 is under way), so I might try to build it myself anyway.
