#1623 dist-f11 tag request: kdelibs-4.2.2-12.fc11
Closed: Fixed None Opened 15 years ago by kkofler.

This reverts the changes which I made (in 4.2.2-8.fc11, so they got tagged as part of the 4.2.2-9.fc11 freeze override) in an attempt to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495998 . I'm reverting those changes because the kconf_update script just plain did not work for several reasons, both screwups on my end (syntax error which made it create a junk config file named "plasmarc,plasmoidviewer-appletsrc" (with that comma) instead of editing the existing files) and inherent design conflicts between kconf_update and Plasma.

In short: this reverts one of the bugfixes between 4.2.2-7.fc11 and 4.2.2-9.fc11 because the "fix" is broken (the other, unrelated bugfix is staying).

(Note that Release jumped from 9 to 12 because I first made 2 attempts at fixing the kconf_update script, but the design limitations mentioned above still make it not work properly, so I decided to revert it entirely.)

I'm convinced reverting the offending changes is the safest thing to do for F11. I'll work on a solution for #495998 within the weather applet.

I would like this tagged as soon as possible (before the preview release if possible) to avoid making a mess out of users' config files, also considering this just drops a bad pair of patches, it doesn't add anything new.


I'm pretty sure it is too late for the preview release, but I'll +1 this for Final.
