 samueldr | no worries, take any time you need before answering if you want to :) | 06:59:58 |
| samueldr | I'm also confused... if the non-default config is valid, but user config is invalid... it will attempt to apply the user config anyway?? (and conversely) | 07:00:56 |
 K900 | kconfig is kind of a huge mess tbh | 07:02:12 |
| samueldr | here it's kwin! | 07:02:18 |
| K900 | Yes, that's part of it | 07:02:27 |
| samueldr | I mean, it's internals of kwin at that point | 07:02:28 |
| K900 | It's because kconfig doesn't actually do things like merging config | 07:02:53 |
| K900 | By default | 07:02:59 |
| K900 | So everything has to do it manually which sucks | 07:03:10 |
| K900 | There was some talk about redoing the config system entirely for KF6 but I have no clue if that actually landed or what it looks like | 07:03:44 |
| samueldr | what kind of merging do you mean here? | 07:06:35 |
| samueldr | because different "scopes" like /etc/xdg vs. ~/.config merge fine AFAIUI without manual intervention by the consumer of the config | 07:07:01 |
| samueldr | e.g. kcminput, which is what I was looking at for kwin, doesn't load it from the different sources manually | 07:07:55 |
| samueldr | but it does work | 07:08:02 |
| samueldr | unless I totally missed something | 07:08:14 |
| samueldr | though here it can't merge "dicts" from a config to another config [or the same config] | 07:08:43 |
| K900 | mmm | 09:18:43 |
| K900 | I just tried to update MythTV to make it build with Qt 5.15 | 09:18:55 |
| K900 | https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/v32.0/mythtv/configure | 09:19:04 |
| K900 | Don't you just love completely bespoke configure scripts | 09:19:12 |
| K900 | And of course they have a vendored ffmpeg, which comes with another 8k lines of bespoke configure script | 09:24:31 |
| K900 | OK, I give up | 09:36:18 |
| K900 | Officially | 09:36:23 |
| K900 | Should just drop it and alias it to Kodi | 09:37:22 |

| samueldr | https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/html/classKConfigGroup.html#a754c98908f1fa22924b8a8a987cd25ba | 22:53:22 |
| samueldr |
You should not call any functions on an invalid group.
| 22:53:28 |
| samueldr | so, with my understanding of the code, m_config could be invalid, m_defaultConfig valid, and it would only call functions on the invalid KConfigGroup! fun! | 22:54:03 |
| samueldr | rebuilding with kwin changed sure is fun :( | 23:02:34 |

| samueldr | oh, there are other logic issues... a touchpad is a pointer device... so it's picking the pointer device group and setting it as the new default config for that device, than looking on that pointer group to find the touchpad group | 03:36:51 |
