KGhostview

Howdy,

The okular developers are ready to take over full responsibility for .ps files.
And it doesn't seem that kghostview4 works at all.

So it is time to follow through with the plan [1] to "Move to extragear pending GS
support in Okular (currently WIP)"

However, it seems that kghostview is such bad shape that I suggest moving
it directly into unmaintained.

Objections to moving kghostview from kdegraphics to unmaintained/4?

No objections. Do it

Re: KGhostview

Hello,

I am all for this. Kghostview is fundamentally a broken architecture. It has 
issues which aren't fixable without a rewrite and okular is---in some 
sense---that rewrite.

release rc2? final?


Hi, 

the release schedule on techbase.kde.org doesn`t seem to be up to date. Do we 
build a platform RC2 tomorrow? 

Greetings,

The schedule at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule 
says, we do that on November 14th (ok, it says we build the final version, 
but that's basically RC 2).

There have been extended changes yesterday, and I`m only know (almost 24 
hours) able later to compile things again. I don`t even know how it is broken 
now on other architectures or operating systems. 

I`m doing a weekly snapshot 3.95.2 currently to find out, but the heart of my 
question was if we`re good to go with the 4.0 platform release next week, and 
if we should do an interim release candidate this week. 

Greetings,
Dirk

I can't say how the current state for win32 is - only compiled kdelibs & kdeedu for now.
I had to modify beta3/4 locally to get it compiling on win32 so I don't mind if I have to do the same for rc2
(although it would be nice to skip this step).

I would say that we want it to compile without modification under win32. This 
is supposed to be final  and stable. so if you have to do local modifications 
of the platform (!), that is kdelibs, kdepimlibs or kdebase-runtime (as 
shipped in the tarballs), then I would like to hear about them sooner than 
later. 

Thanks,
Dirk

started a msvc compile for those three libs now (including kdesupport)
and let you know.
Will hopefully also give mingw a try this evening.
