[PyKDE] PyKDE-3.7-4 Release

[Jim Bublitz]

I'm in the process of doing some final test builds of PyKDE 
3.7-4, and barring any problems should be emailing the release 
to Phil tonight. It should be at http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk 
within 24 hours.

Changes:

1. kfile module "missing classes" and "missing methods" fixed.
2. Python 2.3 semi-support (see README.Python23 in top level 
directory - need to rename a couple of files; a better fix is 
coming)
3. Docs now say '3.7' - otherwise, they probably haven't changed 
much since there are few new features from KDE3.1.1 through 
KDE3.1.3
4. build.py - can now run make as user instead of root and other 
patches from Hans-Peter Jansen. build.py now requires sip 
3.7/PyQt 3.7 (or a later snapshot) due to stricter version 
checking. If you absolutely have to build with sip/PyQt 3.6, I 
can tell you how to do it.
5. Pete's spec file is in the top level directory (not sure if 
it's current); his kdepyuic is in contrib/
6. Removed the base files docs are built from (*.doc and 
kde.sgml) - if anyone needs the sgml file, let me know and I'll 
send you a copy. Cuts the tarball size by 10%.
7. PyKDE will build on Qt 3.2.0

One of the unit tests (KURL) still fails because the test is 
obsolete; one test (KApplication.startServiceByDesktopPath) also 
fails on some platforms, but not all. I've looked at it far 
enough to know it's a weird problem and the test appears to be 
correct in failing.

I thought the docs would go quickly (I remebered where the script 
was that builds them), but it took 5 or 6 hours to figure out 
that openjade 1.3.2 on my system was broken. openjade 1.3.1 
works perfectly.

Next release (barring any other major bugs) will be in a couple 
of weeks, and include some additional fixes. It may also be sip 
3.8 based, depending on Phil's schedule. I'll also try to test 
the most recent sip/PyQt snapshot tonight - haven't gotten to it 
yet, but I don't expect any problems.
