Seems to be doing > exactly what you'd want a partition manager to do :) OK. The package failed to build without a build-depends on libkpmcore4-dev. I've uploaded kpmcore and once it's out of New, I'll upload partitionmanager. kpmcore was technically fine, but the debian/copyright file was incomplete. As that one is going to New and will be reviewed by the FTP team, that would be bad. I fixed it before uploading. I have partionmanager ready to go. It had more serious debian/copyright problems, which I fixed. I also switched it to dh and cleaned up build- depends while I was at it. Scott K

I can create new partition tables, create new ext4, vfat and ntfs partitions, resize partitions and destroy them. Seems to be doing exactly what you'd want a partition manager to do :) -Jonathan

Help needed: KDE partition manager
Hi Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers! (cc Scott and Gianfranco) I made quite a few changes in update partitionmanager from version 1 to 3. https://mentors.debian.net/package/partitionmanager Changes: """ * Update to new upstream version (Closes: #794438, #709474, LP: #1635756) * Update standards version to 3.9.8 * Remove patches (no longer needed) * Update compat to level 10 * Fix watch file (Closes: #788701) * Replace ntfsprogs dependency with ntfs-3g (Closes: #731957) * Replace partion typo with partition in control (Closes: 745290) * New build-deps: extra-cmake-modules, qtbase5-dev, libkf5widgetsaddons-dev, libkf5xmlgui-dev, libkf5kiocore5, libkf5config-dev, libkf5crash-dev, libkf5doctools-dev, libkf5jobwidgets-dev, libkf5kio-dev, libkpmcore4-dev, libatasmart-dev * wrap-and-sort * Update homepage to new location on kde.org * Update copyright file to machine readable format * Add hardening export to debian/rules * Remove 3 lintian-overrides (no longer needed) * Add lintian override for insecure VCS URI * Remove maintainer scripts (no longer needed) * Add myself as uploader """ It builds fine installs and upgrades fine and even runs fine. I have one problem left that I'm not sure what the best way to fix it is: """ I: partitionmanager: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share 3855kB 84% N: N:The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data N:(over 4MB, or over 2MB and more than 50% of the package) in /usr/share N:but is an architecture-dependent package. This is wasteful of mirror N:space and bandwidth since it means distributing multiple copies of this N:data, one for each architecture. N: N:If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, this is a N:Policy violation that should be fixed by moving the data elsewhere N:(usually /usr/lib). N: N:Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.7.5 N:(Architecture-independent data) for details. N: N:Severity: wishlist, Certainty: certain N: N:Check: huge-usr-share, Type: binary """ That's caused by the documents in /usr/share/doc. The package uses both some cdbs and some kde scripts I'm not completely familiar with. If I create a seperate -doc package, what's the best way to specify that those packages should only be installed in the -doc package? Other than that, if you'd like to build this locally for now, you'll need to install kpmcore version 3.0.0 (https://mentors.debian.net/package/kpmcore) in your build root. Freeze time is really close (5 January) and I'll likely already have to request a freeze exception to get these in, so any help would be appreciated! Also, is it possible that I can get SVN access? My username on alioth is highvoltage-guest. Any other feedback also welcome! -Jonathan
