Bug 280802 – Tested USE flags on ARM: kde

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Luke-Jr 2009-08-08 19:29:07 UTC]

KDE 4.2 is working fine on ARM.

These packages seem to USE=kde properly, at least:
[I--] [ ~] x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.5.2 (4)
[I--] [ ~] x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.5.2 (4)

I would suspect USE=kate should also be good, but I have no packages testing this at this time.

[Comment 1 Luke-Jr 2009-08-08 19:29:53 UTC]

For reference, this bug is regarding /usr/portage/profiles/arch/arm/use.mask

[Comment 2 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2009-08-09 03:51:30 UTC]

assigning to arm team. Due to man-power limitations, they might not want to support kde (it means alot more work for keywording, etc)

[Comment 3 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-08-09 06:14:54 UTC]

Not sure if we want to support KDE on ARM just yet. With KDE 4.4 there should be a special "profile" for notebooks and MIDs - which will suite ARM pretty well. Current version of KDE - 4.3 - isn't really ARM friendly.

But let's see what others think.

[Comment 4 Luke-Jr 2009-12-06 20:54:50 UTC]

ARM isn't merely netbooks and MIDs anyway. KDE 4.3 *continues* to work fine here. :)

But, kwin compilation fails, because of USE="-opengl", this patch will fix it (affected all platforms with USE=-opengl):

I don't see any reason to postpone kde arm work for 4.4, because diff between versions not so important. As for me, I'm looking at kde (kdelibs/kdepimlibs) mainly as platform for developing apps. And might be interesting in very light kde for phone, not so big as default of course.

[Comment 6 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-12-09 16:41:43 UTC]

I've re-added patch from 4.3.3-r1 to 4.3.4 to fix -opengl for kwin. Other then that, I'll start testing kde on arm later this week. Thanks Max for your hard work!

[Comment 7 Siarhei Siamashka 2009-12-15 21:20:06 UTC]

This is kind of 'me too' comment. I'm also using kde-base/kdebase-startkde on ARM. Admittedly only for less than a week, but no problems so far.

Updating /usr/portage/profiles/arch/arm/use.mask would be very nice just because keywording the needed kde packages is easy via /etc/portage/package.keywords, but there is no /etc/portage/use.unmask available for overriding the portage use mask (or is there something to easily solve this problem?).

[Comment 8 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-12-30 12:48:04 UTC]

kde 4.4 will be keyworded arm on it's release day. Currently I'm ironing out last problems with beta2.

[Comment 9 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2010-01-23 18:20:10 UTC]

~arm done and use-flag unmasked.
