Browsing through kde-look.org, I found a lot of plasmoids that I wanted to install but they were not available in the Fedora repositories. So I had to compile the plasmoids from source.
After a bit of googling on the errors I was getting during compiling those plasmoids, I think the below command should do the job of pulling in all packages you need to compile almost any plasmoid on Fedora KDE.
yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel kdelibs-devel kdebase-workspace-devel kdebase-devel
Note 1 – This command will also pull in some more packages which are dependencies.
Fedora is perhaps the only remaining front-runner desktop without an easy user-driven repository service.
Ubuntu’s PPA and ArchLinux’s AUR success stories should inspire it to build one of its own surely; have no clue why it does not even initiate, perhaps a security restriction.
Yeah, I really miss the PPA’s of Ubuntu in Fedora.
For regular packages like Transmission, Rekonq, Amarok, ATI drivers etc. Fedora provides the updates quite fast but there are some small things like plasmoids which I have to go about compiling from source.
This page wasnt working this morning. i tried accesing it but it timed out 4-5 times now but i can access it now. Why does this happen? Am i the only one having this error?
