  • Re: KDE PIM 24.12 coming to unstable

    From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 18 18:50:01 2024
    Hi Patrick, hello.

    Patrick Franz - 18.12.24, 18:11:14 MEZ:
    it took quite some time, but I will upload KDE PIM 24.12 to unstable
    later tonight. It is going to take a while until everything is built and available on all mirrors.

    Wonderful!

    Thank you greatly!!!

    I have been using the version from experimental for the last days and
    I am happy with it.

    Best.

    Hi all,

    later tonight. It is going to take a while until everything is built and available on all mirrors.

    I don't expect major disruptions to your PIM settings, e.g. your kmail
    account settings or akregator feeds should work just as before.

    We still have a couple of changes:

    * kalendar has been renamed to "Merkuro" and now consist of 3 apps: A calendar, an addressbook and an email-client.
    * knotes and kjots are officially dead and will be removed as part of
    the upgrade. The more-or-less official replacement is "marknote" which
    can even import your old notes from knotes. Another alternative is "klevernotes".
    * Finally, Google contacts can be synchronised and used again from KDE
    PIM.

    It's possible that some few applications will have to be removed
    temporarily as part of the upgrade until they have been ported/adjusted.

    A little addition. In case you like to know what is new, review the summary blog posts on:

    https://kontact.kde.org/blog/

    The last one for November and December is still missing. Maybe they omit
    it or make it three months due to holidays.

    In general for KDE Gear there are also blog posts like:

    Ah, thanks. I missed that one.

    Makes sense!

    I did the upgrade today.
    Among other things, Kmail was uninstalled. But I was able to reinstall it in the new version afterwards. The configuration was retained.

    'qml6-module-qtlocation' was missing for 'Merkuro' and had to be installed manually.
    I radically ran 'apt install qml6*', which installed 85 packages including dependencies.

    So far everything is working and I'm very happy that Google Contacts can be used properly again.
    Thank you very much for that.

    What exactly is the point of 'merkuro-mail'?
    It's very rudimentary and by no means a replacement for Kmail.

    Hey,

    'qml6-module-qtlocation' was missing for 'Merkuro' and had to be installed manually.
    I radically ran 'apt install qml6*', which installed 85 packages including dependencies.

    I fixed the QML dependency detection for merkuro and it now depends on qml module for qtlocation.

    What exactly is the point of 'merkuro-mail'?
    It's very rudimentary and by no means a replacement for KMail.

    It is a simplified UI for mails and marked beta software. There are for sure people, they are happy with less features in a mail client. But no there are
    no attempts for replacing any KDE PIM software.

    Regards,

    hefee
