Hey, Anyhow, to help you out on that regard: You'll want to check out craft-blueprints-kde.git, and there find the kdiff3 subfolder. You'll probably need to add a separate version.ini file there with custom versions/urls. See e.g. kmymoney/version.ini as example.

It would seem that KDiff3 was always meant to be released by it's maintainer, as it moved from KDE Review directly to Extragear.

Heya, Could you please reconsider that decision and check whether it's not more worthwhile making kdiff3 part of KDE Applications? It will save you (as the maintainer) and others (distribution packagers) a major headache. You'll be responsible for releasing kdiff3 now and in the future if you choose to do your own release schedule. Let me just say: It's not something which is particular entertaining in the long-term. Your KDiff3 involvement will get less eventually, and then someone else needs to take over releasing it -- if it's part of the KDE Apps cycle it'll be done automatically, no matter what. KDiff3 is not the type of application which needs its own release cycle, IMO, it's too small & "undynamic" [1] for that. Regards, Kevin [1] "Undynamic" in a sense that we're likely not going to see drastic UI changes on weekly basis which need to get out to users ASAP. At least for kdiff3 I'd rather have a conservative approach in that regard, since it's a complex tool by definition. -- Kevin Funk | kf...@kde.org | http://kfunk.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
