From some day it has been released a new version of kdesvn-build, kde 4,1 the script in order to compile beautiful fiammante. To part some corrections care a series of little ones problems, this the Changelog, the main innovation, to my opinion, is the possibility that date comes us to install Phonon 4.2; have made I it and I work! The procedure is always the usual, enough to unload the script from here, scompattarlo and to copy the rows kdesvn-build on /usr/bin, at last is necessary to modify the rows .kdesvn-buildrc inserting the following lines:

module phonon
branch 4.2
end module

Phoronix test suite 1.0.2 the benchmark of tuxmind

In the day yesterday, 28 june, has been released version 1.0.2 of phoronix the test suite of which I had already mailed in enthusiastic terms (Phoronix test suite - the benchmark of tuxmind - Phoronix test suite 0.7.0), obviously with a support, new series features to opensuse 11, three new profiles of test and some fixes.

To this address you can find the 61 tests, are grouped here for suite while on PTS Global it is possible to send the result. Good divertimento!
Does not come you wish to try? I have made it and here some screenshots of test that I have carried out with PTS 1.0.2:
