Hello, Now that KDevelop 4.1 is in beta. Quanta, our beloved and only serious web development environment, is in a state, that allows proper compilation with it. So it is now possible, to run Quanta on KDE4 with all the new bling. The ebuild would allow all the web developers to finally move past KDE 3.5, and even though it’s still beta and such, that’s much better than being forced on 3.5. So please add quanta-9999 and kdevelop-4.1_beta1 (or something like that) to portage, or at least the KDE overlay. Thanks. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Seems like nobody's really enthusiastic about it here.
i'll take care of it
(In reply to comment #2) > i'll take care of it Just want to note: I already use KDevelop 4 with the PHP extension for web development, and it’s pretty fun. So there’s probably very little that one would to add. I hope Quanta becomes a KDevelop extension. Anyway, if you need any help that does not involve writing C/C++ (Haskell, Python, Java, PHP, etc. are OK though) or deeper knowledge of ebuilds (I know a bit), I’ll be glad to help.
I've created an ebuild of my own, but it's totally dirty hacked, so it'll be better not to share. Anyway Quanta works for now pretty as KDevelop extension. It installs KDevelop plugins for self use, that are working in KDevelop too (like CSS or Project Upload or XML plugin). Side note for interested: To get Kdevupload to work, you need right now to manually change Version-Number from 10 to 11 in /usr/share/kde/services/kdevupload.desktop and than kbuilsycoca4. Enjoy :)

And all things considered, it would be nice to have quanta-9999 in portage.
Hmmm... Will this new Quanta be as incomplete as the old one compared to Eclipse-PDT, or have they introduced working auto-completion, variable tracking, include/require tracking and so forth that quanta never could do? I hope so, because while Eclipse-PDT is very helpful (and "fun" if that's of importance) it is everything but "lightweight", so I'd really appreciated a kind of "serious and professional version" of Quanta...
(In reply to comment #6) About the “fun”: Who came up with this whole idea, that work isn’t supposed to be fun? From a professional, psychology and game design standpoint, I can tell you that fun is just a indicator of motivation. So fun is not only important, but essential, to success. Ideally, the whole program should be nothing but auto-self-motivating games and mini-games, like tasks is a good RPG. (And yes, school being the opposite of fun and interesting games, is very *very* wrong.) Otherwise I completely second your request. Although “lots of functionality” and “lightweight” are natural antagonists. So it’s a bit of an either-or. But that’s the art. :) How about Quanta simply being an extension to KDevelop? That would give it most of that functionality, wouldn’t it? (Assuming things like kdevelop-php exist for every language.) But I think this is better discussed on the Quanta bug tracker / forums / IRC / mailing list, than here.
Do kde team really want to maintain this module? No real progress in git repo and release done this year. Maybe a good candidate for sunrise overlay.
Right.
