Description Kurt Pfeifle 2005-10-06 16:17:09 UTC
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-20a-default

Carsten,

I saw your "complaint" in #scribus that the klik://kalzium link didnt bring you a single additional bug report. Well, now wonder: 

 a) you didnt promote the possility yet, did you?

 b) what <a href="klik://kalzium">klik://kalzium</a> currently delivers is version 1.2

Here is how you can fix that:

* provide a stable link (I suggest to name it "kalzium-latest")
  that has always the compiled version you want to be tested.

* compile this binary preferrably in a Debian Sarge environment
  (this way it is more portable to other distros)

* build against kdelibs 3.3 (if this doesnt hurt your app's
  functions too much)

* preferably, build .debs (or find someone who does)

* otherwise, provide just a *.tar.gz with all the binaries, libs,
  .desktop and asssorted files

This way, we can set up a <href="klik://kalzium-latest">klik://kalzium-latest</a> link, which will deliver a "recipe" to the klik client that will download your .tar.gz (from whereever you can host it) and let the client transform it into a klik-ified .cmg file. Then blog about it (or do some other ringing, whisling, shouting, belling) whenever you want people to testdrive a new binary development release. (Ok, we may need to have 2-3 iterations of the recipe before it works fully and for most people).

Just try <a href="klik://scribus-latest">klik://scribus-latest</a> to see how well this works. If you watch closely, you'll see which binaries the klik-client downloads (.debs from debian.scribus.net), because klik informs you with a kdialog popup before it proceeds.

It is up to you to utilize this service for your development effort.


Cheers,
Kurt

Well, as Pino seems to be the maintainer of the klik and the feedback on the klik-list is quite positive I think we can close this bug?
Comment 2 Kurt Pfeifle 2006-03-19 14:45:58 UTC
Yes, close it. 

klik://kalzium (as well as all other kliks from kdeedu) now delivers versions as shipped by KDE-3.5.0. [They are based on what is available from the Debian repository at http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/k/kdeedu/ ]
Comment 3 Carsten Niehaus 2006-03-19 16:02:50 UTC
Cool :)

Let's hope it will be the Kalzium of KDE 3.5.2 soon as we fixed many bugs including a bad crash!
