With kde-4.8.0 to be officially released any minute/day now, and to forestall the deluge of questions like * How do I get kde-4.8.x for f16 * When will kde-4.8.x be released for f16
and help get things tested, I threw together a (hopefully temporary) backports repo, http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rdieter/kde48/
similar to what we did with f15/kde47
It contains just the minimal builds needed to get up and running with kde-4.8.0 (as opposed to kde-unstable repo that has other stuff like calligra).
Hopefully, this will lower the bar and make it easier to use, and get more folks using and testing it. Oh, and to answer question 2 above, well just have to wait and see how testing goes. Please do give feedback.
Enjoy.

Thanks Rex! How is testing for 4.8.0/f16? Haven't heard much yet. Wondering whether to risk my primary laptop.

I have been using it here since last night and all is working very well. As usual a painless update (from 4.7.97)
It is running on my main machine (x86_64) so it is getting heavily tested :-)
Thanks to all involved..

Thanks for the great work. Had kde 4.8 installed and running since just before this announcement (updated from 4.7.9x) and all is working great with no problems to report so far.
We do however seem to be missing a couple of bits i was hoping to try out: * ksecretsservice (an alternative and eventual successor to kwallet that is desktop agnostic). I haven't looked properly at this but i am guessing it requires a new package. * kde-telepathy 0.3 was released together with kde 4.8. 0.1 as currently packaged isn't a substitute for kopete for me but 0.3 is sounding much better. Unfortunately they seem to have done a bit of refactoring and renaming upstream so it might be more complicated than a simple bump of each component.
If any help is required with regards to packaging and/or reviewing any of the above i have some quiet time next week...
Thanks again to all involved for bringing fast efficient updates.

I'm not quiet sure how this one works yet either, but I package-monkey'd something together. building for kde48 repo now, pkg review @ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=ksecrets

I threw an initial batch of ktp-0.3 packaging together on Tuesday, haven't submitted anything for review yet, here's my work-in-progress, http://rdieter.fedorapeople.org/rpms/telepathy-kde/
I think I'll try building these for kde-unstable later today.

Excellent. I will start testing and reviewing it as soon as i get home.

Brilliant. If it's done and nobody gets to it before me i can review these on Wednesday. I have a days holiday so i should be able to get through all of them in one go.
Thank you very much :-)

Hi,
I'm running kde-4.8 as part of Rawhide. Everything is very fast. Thanks for the great work! There is just one weird issue with Amarok 2.5.0. At the bottom of the context panel are the buttons (Current Track, Lyrics, Wikipedia and Settings) missing. No errors in .xsession-errors. I've tried it with a new user with the same result. In Fedora 16 (same Amarok version) the buttons are there.
Did anyone else have seen this.
Martin Kho
Btw. In Fedora 17 I've still a few 4.7.97 packages: kdebindings-*, kdesdk-*, and kdenetwork-*.

amarok upstream provided a patch for these issues, I'm doing builds in koji now.

I just started testing, at 6AM here, and the first thing that I noticed is that
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769161
is fixed in this release. :-)

The other good thing is that nfs shares no longer appear in the Device Notifier.
Hi, kde 4.8 is really nice, thanks for your work, everything is working fine except kde-plasma-smooth-tasks is crashing plasma-desktop, I can compile it from source, but an updated package for the f16/kde48 repo would be nice.
And rekonq in F16 is really old, I'm using a F17 package since some time: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=269592
But an update to rekonq 0.9 tech preview would be also nice. http://adjamblog.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/rekonq-0-9-tech-preview/
Regards
Christian Jann

I'll look into it, we're looking into how to best support that moving forward. Apparently there's some conflicting reports whether it works properly against 4.8 or not.

I'll try contacting our rekonq maintainer, about these issues.
Thanks for the feedback.

In that case, let me say that I had the same problem with Christian with the smooth-tasks plasmoid. I had to remove it otherwise plasma-desktop would crash every single time it tried to start.
