[Fwd: presets updates in kradio-trinity]

FYI, kradio will be receiving some updates in the future.  If ready before
the R14 release, these updates should be pulled into R14.

hi,

As far I understand, the presets in kradio are just xml files with the
same structure from the previous kradio/kde3 to the latest from
kradio/kde4.
When the coder ported to QT4/kde4, he didn't change the xml files and the
way to write them.

I'm currently updating kradio-trinity-3.5.13.1 with kradio4-presets-4.0.6
from http://kradio.sourceforge.net.
I did a simple compile test on a Debian squeeze box and the presets, I had
added, appears in the configuration part the software.
Unfortunately I don't have a radio device to push the testing further.

Are you interrested in the goal of updating Kradio's presets ?
If so I'm willing to do it, this doesn't require programming skills (we
have to add new countries in the Makefile.am in the presets directory
nonetheless...not to difficult but time consuming )-; ).

I've settled a public subversion repository that I intend to update a
little at a time :

*****************************************
svn co https://riouxsvn.com/svn/kradio
*****************************************

Tell me is you're interrested, if something is wrong and/or if I may go
ahead.
Please test, I don't master the Debian packaging process, I'm more
Slackware's kiss philosophy zealot.

regards.
