[4] JeremyKatz said he has a hack to workaround this o development progress: the road to kde4: - kdeadmin, kaider and extragear-plasma are in rawhide now, kde-l10n is still being reviewed (#421231). [5] - the kde4 port of bluecurve is also awaiting review (#425872) [6] - /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/common was splitted into a kdelibs-common subpackage (# 417251) [7] o recent bugs: - flash plugin seems to be still not working on x86_64 (#410651) [8] - but this seems to be an issue of nspluginwrapper and a separate bug report against nspluginwrapper is needed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Next Meeting = Next tuesday is christmas holidays and the following tuesday is New Year. We should find at least one date in this two weeks for a meeting. A proposal would be 2007-12-03 at 1600 UTC: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Links = [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=421891 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=422061 [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SebastianVahl/CurrentPackageList [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=424811 [5] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=421231 [6] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=425872 [7] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=4217251 [8] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=410651
