1. About KDEDIR:
|
| 24 |
----------------
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The debian KDE package has been modified so you do not need to set the
|
| 27 |
KDEDIR environment vairable to use it. You don't need to set QTDIR either.
|
| 28 |
However if you find that something really does need QTDIR you can set it
|
| 29 |
to /usr/share/qt and it'll be happy.
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
2. Changes to KDE directory structure:
|
| 32 |
-------------------------------------
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
KDE's paths can mainly be organized independently. For Debian's sake,
|
| 35 |
I chose the below paths - following Andreas's settings.
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
/etc/kde3 kde config files (was KDE/share/config)
|
| 38 |
/usr prefix
|
| 39 |
/usr/bin kde binaries (was KDE/bin)
|
| 40 |
/usr/include/kde kde include files (was KDE/include)
|
| 41 |
/usr/lib kde shared libraries (was KDE/lib)
|
| 42 |
/usr/lib/cgi-bin kde cgi binaries (was KDE/cgi-bin)
|
| 43 |
/usr/lib/kde3 kde module directory
|
| 44 |
/usr/share/applnk kde applnk files (provide a link to /usr/share/applnk)
|
| 45 |
/usr/share/apps kde per application directory
|
| 46 |
/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML kde online documentation (was KDE/share/doc)
|
| 47 |
/usr/share/icons kde icons (and mini icons in .../icons/mini)
|
| 48 |
/usr/share/locale locales
|
| 49 |
/usr/share/mimelnk kde mimelink files
|
| 50 |
/usr/share/wallpapers kde wallpaper icons (can also be used by other apps)
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
3. Kpanel and menus:
|
| 53 |
-------------------
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
If you have the menu package installed, kpanel will display the debian menus
|
| 56 |
of installed programs. Otherwise, you won't get any menus at all, so I do
|
| 57 |
recommend you install the menu package.
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
4. CUPS:
|
| 60 |
-------
|
| 61 |
It is possible to use cups printers from within kde,
|
| 62 |
without running a cupsd from cupsys on every machine.
|
| 63 |
to do this: create a ~/.cupsrc or /etc/cups/client.conf.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
it could be as short as:
|
| 66 |
ServerName servername
|
| 67 |
Encryption Never
|
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
for a full example, see the client.conf from cupsys.
|

|
| 73 |
There used to be two versions of kde.deb : one made by debian, and
|
| 74 |
one made by the KDE team. Fortunatly this has changed to the better
|
| 75 |
and this package is both: the debian package and the kde package.
|
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@debian.org> used to maintain the debian part
|
| 78 |
and Stephan Kulow took them over, when he orphaned them. Then Ivan
|
| 79 |
Moore took them over. Now, I (Chris) maintain them.
|
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Thanks to Brandon Mitchell <bhmit1@mail.wm.edu> for his work on the
|
| 82 |
libc5 version.
