Argh, sorry about the breakage, this time I remembered about
desktop-backgrounds and such, but forgot you depend on this for KDM and
KSplash as well (and for the packaging I just take what I'm given and I
always thought there were problems neither with PNGs nor JPGs [we used
both formats for our backgrounds in the past])...
After reading the bug, I'm not sure if you still need the PNGs? IMHO the
best solution at this point would be to put a PNG copy (you could even
generate it at build time from one of the JPGs with e.g. ImageMagick)
into the KSplash package.
For others -- perhaps we should, starting with F14, use only PNGs for
backgrounds, or at least do *not* change the format post beta?
I was out on Friday and whole weekend as I was organizing Openmobility
conference. Rex worked on it, I'm about checking his fix. I'll let you know
asap.
Would be great for F-14 to go with PNG only, format change after beta is
problem and same problem is applying Kevin's fix for KSplash - it's too late
for inclusion to F-13. Maybe we can try to make it possible to F-14 but the
reason for limited support of fileformats is speed - splash should be as quick
as possible - so currently KSplash even isn't proper Qt application. So we
should check performance impact first.
