Xembed (and perhaps flash 9.0.115) support in konqueror, kdebase and kdelibs fixes

Tags:

I'm watching to bug reports about Xembed support missing on konqueror
on kde bug tracking system for weeks
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132138).

It seems that today Fedora devs have pushed out new kdelibs and
kdebase packages
(https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/FEDORA-2007-4602) that
seems to fix the issues, including the patch referenced in the 132138
kde bug and maybe other fixes.
Source rpms are here:
http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/testing/7/SRPMS/kdelibs-3.5.8-19.fc7.src.rpm
http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/testing/7/SRPMS/kdebase-3.5.8-25.fc7.src.rpm

How about pushing those fixes and ehnancement to sid packages?

I'll try to add a patch to debian packages and I'll report if they work...

I have been following the issue and is hoping to get around looking at
it. The patches didn't stabilize until yesterday, so... But I hope to
add it to my tomorrow todo, if I get around finding all christmas
presents today ;)

That would be very much welcome. Just drop the patches in debian/patches
and build it - it should be quite doable.

Here are the two patches extracted from the rpm source packages...

http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/tmp/kdebase-3.5.8-flash.patch
http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/tmp/kdelibs-3.5.8-new-flash.patch

I still have to compile the new debian package. Perhaps I'm posting
the patches if someone wants to try them.

Bye,
Emilio

Fathi,

works well also in lenny doing a

aptitude install -t unstable kdebase konqueror kdelibs kdm

Thanks for updating the packages.

Is there a plan to provide updated etch (KDE 3.5.5) packages?

They are probably fixed upstream by Luboš Luňák (revision 750896/7).

Yes, as I said in my first message of this thread, these patches are
the ones that the Fedora guys have adapted to their kdebase and
kdelibs 3.5.8 packages taking Luboš Luňák commit...

I would appreciate a backport to etch. I cannot estimate the effort for that
backport though, but I think if you do not provide a backport, the etch users
have the choice between:

- using a backlevel flash plugin with known security problems
- not using konqueror at all for sites with flash content (which is nowadays
almost like not using konqueror at all for web browsing)
- upgrade their whole KDE installation to a version from backports.org (which
might get the fix sooner or later)

Did I miss something here?

that is really good news :-)
