[REL] Krusader 2.0.0-beta2 "Space Odyssey" released!

dirk · Last edited by dirk on Sat Apr 11, 2009 9:22 pm; edited 1 time in total

The Krew is proud to present the first KDE4 release of your favourite file manager! This beta is all about porting, all dependencies to the Qt3 support libs have been removed. This is also the first release that comes with experimental support for the Windows platform. Who thought that day will ever come?

Even though this release contains some new features our main focus is to create a stable KDE4 version. Overall the release is usable but surely contains bugs that haven't been present in prior versions. Please provide us bug reports, feedback and patches to make it as solid as the KDE3 version. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in the porting process!

Highlights:

A first version of the long awaited queue manager
Five different sorting methods
Highlight quick search match
Possibility to select a predefined mouse selection mode and change a detail
Fine tuning in the Useractions
Many many bugfixes

Changes since 2.0.0-beta1 (but not limited to):

Ported to KDE4 not using any of the Qt3 support libs
Experimental support for the Windows platform
Send emails with Thunderbird
Attach multiple files to emails
Submenus for categories in UserAction menu and context menu
Select encoding in content search and krarc
New synchronizer shortcuts
Complete list of changes and enhancements is in the ChangeLog...

You need to create a i386 package (I'm only using AMD64 so I can't create an i386 deb package)

Install all packages needed to compile krusader

"apt-get build-dep" is a command (it's not a package) , it ask to install all build dependencies, in this case for the krusader package (e.g. the gcc compiler to compile krusader)

Edit: build-dep

Trying to build the beta2...
I've never tried anything like this before

$ sudo apt-get build-dep krusader
(does things...)

$ sudo apt-get install autotools-dev fakeroot dh-make build-essential
(does things...)

(I download krusader_2.0.0-beta2-ubuntu810-0intrepid0.tar.gz with firefox)

(I unpack to my home directory opening the .tar.gz with krusader, that opens another window with the contents, does not open it itself like totalcmd, I select "extract to" and my home dir as destiny for the extraction and there is now a ~/krusader-2.0.0-beta2 directory)

$ cd ~/krusader-2.0.0-beta2

$ debuild
The program 'debuild' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install devscripts
-bash: debuild: command not found

(WOW! first bump... it seems to be easy to overcome though)

$ sudo apt-get install devscripts

$ debuild
This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be
an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;
(expected krusader_2.0.0-beta2-ubuntu810.orig.tar.gz or krusader-2.0.0-beta2.orig)
continue anyway? (y/n) y
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: quilt cmake libkonq5-dev
debuild: fatal error at line 993:
You do not appear to have all build dependencies properly met, aborting.
(Use -d flag to override.)
If you have the pbuilder package installed you can run
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends as root to install the
required packages, or you can do it manually using dpkg or apt using
the error messages just above this message.

OMFG!!!!! what is all that? weren't all the previous installs just to avoid that dependence thing? and now what??? should I try from another directory? there is a krusader_2.0.0-beta2-ubuntu810-0intrepid0.tar.gz file in the parent directory!!! why does debuild complain?

Isn't an easier way to try the beta? just a package to install or something, like the windows version? tried the "klik" thing but does not work at all (tried some "klik://" urls, not a single one works, so it is not a krusader thing)

I'm using ubuntu i386 hardy heron...

You are almost there ...

You are missing a few packages (and I have forgotten to mention them, sorry) , and so there is a error message ...

I have edited my previous post forgotten to mention "install" ... , sorry

/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/kde4.mk is missing on your system, with the next url you can trace the missing package

http://packages.ubuntu.com/
The result:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=kde4.mk&mode=filename&suite=intrepid&arch=any

It belongs to the cdbs package that is required to build deb packages (sorry, i have not mentioned in this tread)

Yes mention also devscripts as it contains the essential debuild, compiling for Kubuntu 8.10 i386...
