Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2012-01-25 18:41:26 UTC

So this is a new version which finally does away with requiring the KDE 3 libkcal for which we are providing the kdepim3 compatibility package (of which taskjuggler is the only user).

That said, the issues with the new release are twofold:
1. There is no GUI at this time, and upstream explicitly recommends parallel-installing the 2 versions if you need a GUI. Apparently, you can run the new version from the old GUI somehow. (Of course, building the GUI only should be possible with only kdelibs3 and not kdepim3, I had already set the package up for that before we had the kdepim3 package. kdepim3 is used for the ICal support in the core.)
2. It requires changes to the existing data files.

As for:
> remove the Qt dependency
huh? How's a Ruby dependency any better? Some upstreams are really on crack. :-( I don't understand why they didn't just move to Qt 4 and kdepimlibs 4 like the rest of the world.

Hello,

Any update on this bug? I see 3.3.0 has been released. No idea if it still lacks a GUI though.

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur
