Hi Urs,
I've moved translations, plugins and DBus-interface into package
libkde3_<so-version>
and submitted the changes from branch to main package in Multimedia.
After rebuild the changes should be active in published binaries (needs
some time).
Regards,
Jörg

Hi PackMan Team,
I had a look at your Kid3 packages and have the following remarks:
- The translation files are missing (all files
in /usr/share/kid3/translations/). They are used by all executables
(kid3, kid3-qt, kid3-cli) and libraries (kid3-core, kid3-gui), so they
should be in the libraries package.
- Both kid3 and kid3-qt have a DBus-interface,
so /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/net.sourceforge.Kid3.xml should also
be in the basic libraries package.
- It is not useful to put all plugins into a separate package. Without
any of the metadata plugins, kid3 cannot edit any tag format, so you
will have to install kid3-plugins and libkid3_3 in any case. Separate
packages make sense if you want to reduce the depedencies. You could
split the plugins in the following way:
- Put libtaglibmetadata.so, libmusicbrainzimport.so,
libamazonimport.so, libdiscogsimport.so, libfreedbimport.so into the
basic libraries package. This will only add a dependency to TagLib,
which provides support for all formats (the import libraries listed
above have no special dependencies).
- Put libacoustidimport.so, libid3libmetadata.so,
liboggflacmetadata.so into a special "extra plugins package". They
add dependencies to libav, id3lib and libogg/vorbis/FLAC++. You
could split these plugins further, but I am not sure if this will
really make the users' life easier.
I haven't split kid3 into so many packages, only kid3-core (all
libraries and plugins), kid3 (KDE), kid3-qt (without KDE dependencies)
and kid3-cli (command line tool). The Fedora maintainer made a
kid3-common package containing both kid3-core and kid3-cli which can
also make sense because kid3-cli is really small, has no extra
dependencies and this makes kid3-common a useful package itself (if you
do not need a GUI). Other distributions have put everything into a
single package, which could eliminate user errors, but does not support
avoiding installation of unneeded dependencies.
Regards,
Urs
