Description of problem: Dolphin has 2 scripts for service menu (de)installation: /usr/bin/servicemenuinstallation and /usr/bin/servicemenudeinstallation. Those are Ruby scripts. This is very broken because there is no dependency on ruby, and we cannot add such a dependency to kde-baseapps because it would blow up our live image. (We already have 2 scripting languages on it, there's no way we can fit a third.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Everything between kdebase 4.4 and at least kde-baseapps-4.8.0-2.fc17. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try installing a servicemenu without having Ruby installed. Actual results: It doesn't work, and there are errors on the terminal about Ruby missing. Expected results: Installing a service menu must not gratuitously depend on Ruby. Additional info: Those scripts are very small, so it should not be too hard to port them to bash or C++. Kubuntu has a Python port in the Launchpad bug, but it's incomplete: the calls to an optional servicemenu-provided installation script are commented out and the deinstallation script is not ported. And I think bash or C++ would be a better choice anyway, to also avoid having kde-baseapps depend on Python.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
