1. Moving aKtion to kdeblackhole

13 Apr 2003 - 18 Apr 2003 (8 posts) Archive Link: "Moving aKtion to
kdeblackhole"

People: Chris Howells, Stephan Binner, Waldo Bastian

Chris Howells wrote:

Some time ago the future of aKtion was discussion on kde-cvs. The general
consensus was that it didn't have much future in KDE, being based on the
obsolete xanim.

Therefore I'd like to propose that it should be moved to kdeblackhole. Could
one of the CVS admins do this please.

To which Stephan Binner replied, " Somehow related, the author of KGpg asked on
kde-devel [1] to add it to KDE 3.2. I didn't see his request discussed on
kde-core-devel as yet. "

All respondents were OK with it. There was some discussion of implementation
issues on KGpg. Waldo Bastian wrote, " Shredding of files is a broken concept
that creates a false sense of security especially on a desktop system where a
file can have been written to disk numerous times already (cache / temporary
storage). Use an encrypted file system instead. "

No one responded to the original question.

2. KMail SSH Tunneling HOWTO

18 Apr 2003 - 21 Apr 2003 (4 posts) Archive Link: "KMail SSH Tunneling HOWTO"

People: Mike Pilone

Mike Pilone wrote, " I finally got around to writing a short HOWTO on how to
use the Precommand feature of KMail for SSH tunneling. It is located here:
http://www.slac.com/~mpilone/projects/kde/kmailssh/index.html (http://
www.slac.com/~mpilone/projects/kde/kmailssh/index.html) " . Ingo and Daniel
conspired to add the link to the KDE homepage, and succeeded.

3. KAutoConfigDialog Howto

16 Apr 2003 (1 post) Archive Link: "KAutoConfigDialog Howoto (Or making a
settings dialog in KDE HowTo)"

People: Benjamin Meyer

Benjamin Meyer posted a new howto on how to make a settings dialog in KDE, and
gave a link (http://www.csh.rit.edu/~benjamin/kautoconfigdialog/) . He also
asked for comments and stated that he was willing to help anyone who wanted to
convert their current settings dialog to use KAutoConfigDialog. There appeared
to be responding posts on kde-devel, but the KDE Traffic editor is not covering
that list yet.
