Packages for x86 Nevada i386 available

I know, I know, I've posted similar messages before. But at
http://solaris.bionicmutton.org/PKGS/nevada-i386/4.1.4/ (url not likely to
change) you can find tarballs of the packages for KDE 4.1.4 on Nevada (let's
say 101b or later, although all this was built on nv103). If you download
*all* of those tarballs (749M) you get all of KDE 4.1.4 plus a bunch of
translations. You can download a subset if you're careful; I would suggest
getting FOSS* and KDElibs and KDEpimlibs and KDEbase-* and KDEdt-integration
or KDEgdm-integration as a first step. KDEhier you can skip.

Then get the corresponding specfiles. Those are

http://solaris.bionicmutton.org/hg/kde4-specs-dev/archive/5af7f9c0dbd2.tar.bz2

(I have created a branch in kde4-specs-dev, but I don't know how to write a hg
web interface URL that gets 'the latest on branch X').

If you are using the regular hg repo cloned from kde4-specs-dev, you can

hg up -r kde-4.1.4

to switch to the KDE 4.1.4 branch; use

hg up -r default

to switch back to the main branch, which is now moving towards KDE 4.2.0.

Please, someone try this and write it up on techbase.

I downloaded the packages and am installing them.  I'm on x86 snv_104.  The first error I found is that the NAME for the FOSSgnupth package is way too long and breaks the dependant packages (FOSSlibassuan and FOSSgpgme).  I shortened it and regenerated the chksums and it seems to let me pkgadd those two packages now.

Same issue with xine-lib (it makes KDEbase-runtime impossible to pkgadd).  I shortened its description in KDEbase-runtime/install/depend and updated the chksum.

One other comment.  The tar files wouldn't extract properly until I used gtar.  I usually use the built-in Solaris tar.  I would change the tar you used when you rebuild them.

Wow, that's pretty fundamental (and broken in pkgadd). Do you have an idea
what the maximum length is so that we can check for it in future? I'll shorten
the descriptions of xine-lib and gnupth to avoid this for now.

New packages will be built, but it will probably be for KDE 4.2.0.

<80 characters seems to work, but I didn't test every increment.

The documentation on docs.sun.com notes the many limitations of the SVR4
package format.  However, summarized they are:

* 32 characters for package "names" (PKG in a prototype file); the first
character cannot be numeric.

* 256 characters for package "summary" (NAME in a prototype file)

* 256 characters for package "version" (VERSION in a prototype file)

* 256 characters for package "description" (DESC in a prototype file)

* 16 characters for package "category" (CATEGORY in a prototype file)

* 256 characters for package "vendor" (VENDOR in a prototype file)

* 256 characters for package "email" (EMAIL in a prototype file)

Cheers,

hmm ... on my Sparc WS, running b101, I see
"SUNWstaroffice-gnome-integration", which is quite a bit longer (32
characters).
