Hello all,

I just received a notification that meta-kde 5:59 has entered unstable/sid.
With that, the meta package kde-minimal does no longer exist, so /usr/share/live-helper/lists/kde-
core should be updated and possibly again when 5:59 gets into testing/squeeze.

This is the contents of that file now (primairily for debian-kde list):
#if DISTRIBUTION lenny
kde-core
#endif
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-minimal
#endif

kdm
desktop-base


I think the following change should correct the change in the meta-package:
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-minimal
#endif

becomes:

#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze
kde-minimal
#endif
#if DISTRIBUTION sid
kde-plasma-desktop
#endif

and when 5:59 gets into testing it should become:
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-plasma-desktop
#endif

I'm CC-ing debian-kde list, since they probably can add sth useful to this.

Regards,
Diederik

Why not just use kde-standard instead?

That seems to me a good candidate for the kde list and then the kde-full list should be the kde-full
meta-package.

So that means for kde list:
#include <kde-core>

#if DISTRIBUTION lenny
kde
#endif
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-standard
#endif
kdm
desktop-base

and for kde-full:
#include <kde>
#if DISTRIBUTION lenny
koffice
#endif
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-full
#endif


Sounds good to me!
Thanks for your response, that was exactly what I was hoping for.

Regards,
Diederik

There is a new development:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/meta-kde/news/20100517T215607Z.html and
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-kde-commits/2010-May/019017.html

Meaning that kde-minimal is dropped (at least for now).
Asking on #debian-kde gave me the following responses:
[01:37] <diederik> Is it likely that kde-minimal will not exist for more then a week? kde-minimal is
used in the package lists for live-helper
[01:38] <diederik> If it's only gone for a week or so it's probably not worth the temp update, but
if it's expected to take longer then it makes sense to notify Daniel Baumann
[01:42] <MoDaX> diederik: kde-minimal is a virtual package
[01:42] <MoDaX> s/is/will be/
[01:42] <MoDaX> once it is introduced again
[01:42] <MoDaX> I don't think you want to let apt choose which provide to install
[01:43] <diederik> but right now it doesn't exist, so if someone wants to build a kde LiveCD, that
will fail, since it doesn't exist _now_
[01:43] <diederik> since not everyone builds a kde livecd each day a temporary disruption seems ok
(to me)
[01:44] <diederik> so if it's back in a week or so, probably no one will notice and otherwise the
package list will need to be updated twice
[01:44] <MoDaX> diederik: regardless of kde-minimal fate, switch to live cd to either kde-plasma-
desktop or kde-plasma-netbook (or kde-standard)
[01:45] <MoDaX> I mean if you want live cd build process to be predictable

So if the following section of kde-core is updated from
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-minimal
#endif
to
#if DISTRIBUTION squeeze sid
kde-plasma-desktop
#endif

Then kde builds of live-helper should be OK again.

Regards,
Diederik
