F23 : apper missing/not working

Issue #11 resolved
Piotr Gbyliczek repo owner created an issue

From Sergio:

I'm using KDE4 in F23 with your work and I'm very happy but working alive all day I can spot some (minor) issues.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/apper.git/tree/apper.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kde-runtime.git/tree/kde-runtime.spec
https://pkgs.fedraproject.org/cgit/kactivities.git

Links above have "%define plasma5 1" which usually removes some stuff which is for KDE4 , I'd like rebuild this packages without plasma5 defined

I'd like reuse all brilliant Rex Dieter work, is petty that F21 will be EOL and we won't get more updates for KDE4 .

Analyzing some packages while I'm writing this email

kde-workspace branch f21 has been split

kde-baseapps wasn't been split but use rules like if 0%{fedora} < 22 which have to be reviewed , also have move dophin to dolphin4 , and we have a new dolphin package .

    From Rex :

    It's ultimately up to you, of course, but I think trying to replace all kf5 apps with their older kde4 counterparts may be counterproductive (and a lot more work)

    Examples include: dolphin, khelpcenter, kdesu

    Exceptions that are good to fix/replace:
    apper (updater applet)
    kde-runtime-kuiserver

    apper was rebuild with unconditional "%define plasma5 0" to allow all the omissions to be included.

    It seems to be working on vanilla install plus kde4-fedora repo in VM environment without any visible errors.
