Well working together within debian-qt-kde team would help to have a good shaped package inside Debian and Ubuntu. But the automatic migration to Ubuntu is only true for the newest Ubuntu version that is not released. So if Stéphane whats to provide the newest version for every Ubuntu version he still needs to provide the package anywhere f.ex. a ppa. But if he active in debian-qt-kde team, he can make sure that the packages are coinstallable and do not break each other. For debian backports.debian.org exists, where newer versions can be shipped, but only if the version are already entered testing.

Stéphane could also work with debian-qt-kde team to help packaging skrooge for Debian/unstable as soon as he creates a new release. Once the new package is in Debian/unstable, it should migrate to Ubuntu in a matter of weeks. May be Stéphane's PPA would not be needed then..

What is in stable cannot be updated usually, unless for very important reasons. Considering that newer versions of skrooge are based on KDE Frameworks, which do not exist in stable, that makes an update of stable a no-go option. > This is a very old version based on Qt4/KDE4. > The last release is the version 2.5.0 based on Qt5/KF5.

Ubuntu PPAs are useless for Debian. While I have nothing against your work, and I can perfectly understand you want the latest versions for your users, at least a quick glance at that packaging gives me so many wrong details and bits that I'd recommend users to not use it at all. -- Pino Toscano signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Skrooge package
Hi, I'm the main developer of Skrooge (an application in KDE extragear). The version of Skrooge packaged for Debian is the version 1.9.3 (released in April 2014).:-( This is a very old version based on Qt4/KDE4. The last release is the version 2.5.0 based on Qt5/KF5. Because, I'm on Kubuntu (Sorry for that!), I made a ppa (https://launchpad.net/~s-mankowski/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-kf5) to provide the last version of Skrooge as soon as possible. Do you think that's could be better to update the package in Debian instead of ppa? If yes, how can I help to update the Debian package? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards. Stephane
