Re: KDEPIM 17.08: The whole thing works
Hi,
it works,hurray ;)
I find using aptitude easier for upgrades.
I just choose some major package like kdepim or kontact or kmail for upgrade
and then jump over broken packages with "b" until everything is ok, then press
"g" for list of upgraded and not upgaded packages and skim thru not upgraded
for any forgoten packages.
After upgrade akonadi started it's db upgrade, but my FS became full, i
noticed it after day of my disk LED constantly blinking.
Maybe some warning/news in akonadi package should be in place? (about resource
heavy upgrade of DB)
So big thanks to maintainers for fresh packages.
Btw. is there a plan for newer versions of kdepim?
I have problem with akonadi-ews , unable to send it's emails, which should
already be fixed in 17.08.0, but i'm still unable to send emails (I noticed it
after 4 days, with over 20 work emails in my outgoing folder ...)
