I'm enjoying my KDE 4.2 stable immensely, it's nice and stable and beautiful as well.

One question however; where has the Kate session plasmoid gone? Is it still supposed to be included in the 4.2 distribution, or had my distribution (Debian) failed to include it in their packages?

If it isn't included by default any longer could somebody point me to the source code? I'd like to checkout and compile it myself. It's a great plasmoid!

The Kate session plasmoid was moved either to kdeplasma-addons or kdesdk.

I think it's here http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/ ... a/session/

The only problem is I can't compile it.

Code: Select all

CMake Error at session/CMakeLists.txt:6 (kde4_add_plugin):
  Unknown CMake command "kde4_add_plugin".


CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:

isn't it available in stable?

You need to build from this directory. http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/kate/plasma/

I did that, but I got the same error. But! The plasmoid seems to be back, I installed some extra scriptengines, which might have brought the widget back.
