Killswitch-Manager

DESCRIPTION:
------------
This applet controls killswitches and enables you to turn off or on radio devices.
I designed that application to use the wireless toggle function key on my Lenovo laptop which has a single toggle function key for 3 devices (bluetooth, wifi and ultrawideband).

I still need to figure out how to bind that applet to a function key (probably through HAL). This page might be interesting for this purpose: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work

If you want, you can contribute as described in the TODO file. Feedback is highly appreciated!

Enjoy!


INSTALL:
--------
1. unpack the source tarball: tar -xf killswitch-manager-0.2.src.tar.bz2
2. enter the uncompressed directory: cd killswitch-manager-0.2/
3. execute qmake: qmake .
If lrelease is not executed (i.e Fedora), launch it manually with the appropriate path: lrelease-qt4 resources/lang_*.ts
4. build the sources: make
The binary file that will be created is called killswitch-manager.
5. install the binary if you want to: sudo make install

A plasmoid for KDE 4 is now also available. It is still under development but the basic functionality operates well. You can install it the following way:
1. execute cmake (depending on your distro, you may need to change kde4-config to kde-config): cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
2. build the sources: make
If you encounter troubles, you may require to clean the environment first (and execute cmake again): make clean
3. install the plasmoid: sudo make install
4. update KDE4 coca: kbuildsycoca4

HELP:
-----
I am currently not succeeding in building a RPM package for the plasmoid on Fedora and Mandriva. I don't use those distributions and it will take quite a while to figure out how to fix my issue. If anyone could help me on the make install and the file locations for the plasmoid, I would be delighted to update my packages.
