Description John Alatalo 2012-01-31 17:10:59 CET 
Since the Linux distribution Pardus have problem and will be gone soon I think you could take some solutions from them.
Especially Kaptan:
http://developer.pardus.org.tr/projects/kaptan/index.html

Works very fine:

It would be legal to:

@ John

Thanks for your request. It is always good to hear what users would like :)

I understand it only works with KDE. TBH, I think it would  be better to ask upstream to include it

@ lmenut

If you disagree with what I said above, please say so :)

Thanks I will do as you suggest.
Comment 3 John Alatalo 2012-03-03 11:59:25 CET 
Did 3 request there.

Kaptan Desktop:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=kaptan

TASMA system settings:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=Tasma

YALI (Yet Another Linux Installer)
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=YALI

I would like to see this in Mageia and as standard in the KDE desktop in general.
So I guess best to wait for some respond from the KDE developers.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

It looks like all the links for Pardus resources are now dead links, I did a quick search but could find no real repository to look at. At those seem to be specific tools developed for the Pardus distro, and for KDE4, I'm not sure they would be relevant for us with Plasma 5 in Mageia 6, so I'll close this issue as WONTFIX.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
