Collection of packaging notes
Hello, With various alpha coming out soon, here are the notes added to my packages when I started packaging snapshots and still present. I'm well aware that some of these modules won't be present in the first releases. First, the most annoying issue: Plasma still didn't bump all their libraries soname. That's a major annoyance for packagers. - Conflicting files (not mentioned in the other thread) kcm_trash.desktop is installed by both kio (kf5) and kio-extras (kf6) - Conflicting translation catalog names: plasma-integration (plasmaintegration5) kuserfeedback - Misnamed libraries: kmail-account-wizard (liblibaccountwizard.so) ktextaddons (liblibvoskspeechtotext.so) - Non frameworks modules installing libKF*.so ktextaddons (various libraries) konqueror (libKF6Konq.so) libksane (libKF5Sane5.so) kweathercore (libKF6KWeatherCore.so) libktorrent (libKF5Torrent.so) libkexiv2 (libKF6KExiv2.so) libkdcraw (libKF6KDcraw.so) baloo-widgets (libKF6BalooWidgets.so) kmoretools (libKF6MoreTools.so) libkscreen (libKF6Screen.so, libKF6ScreenDpms.so) - Wrong install location for knewstuff files: khangman kturtle - Wrong install location for CMake files: qqc2-breeze-style (still uses KF5QQC2BreezeStyle) - old install location: kalgebra (/usr/share/katepart5. Note: syntax-highlighting won't ignore the file, but it's not the default location) ksystemlog (/usr/share/kxmlgui5/ksystemlog) - Modules still using QQC1: kdeplasma-addons (applets/fifteenPuzzle) - build dependency issues: plasma5support (links and requires QtGui but doesn't search for it at build time) kinfocenter (requires kpackage at build time but doesn't seem to need it) Christophe

This is the case for CI (in the branch-rules, the seed jobs, etc), API Documentation and a few other places. It is much easier to make something non-Frameworks look like a Framework, than it is to make something that is classified as Frameworks (but isn't actually one) not be seen as one. (ie. the rules we have are inclusionary not exclusionary) I'd be in favour of saying they need to be moved from frameworks/ to plasma/ in preparation for this. > > - oxygen-icons5 tar should be renamed oxygen-icons (again probably leave > gitlab repo renaming until later) > - We didn't discuss it but kirigami2 tar should also be renamed to kirigami > Not sure why we need to delay renaming the repository? > > Does that seem right? > > Anything else? > > Jonathan > Thanks, Ben
Re: KUserFeedback as framework for KF6
I'm bumping this thread because this needs done pronto. There's no objections but also frameworks has quite exacting needs so it would be nice to have a confirmation it would be good to include from someone who knows about ABI needs etc. But I'll include it when I get these release scripts looked into.

Re: Collection of packaging notes
Thanks for your e-mail. It covers more than Frameworks so I'm including release-team@ too. One quick question, is naming non-frameworks libKF6foo really a problem we need to fix? Given all the other issues...

Thanks for the report. Everyone: Could we perhaps establish some wiki page where such things could be tracked? > - Non frameworks modules installing libKF*.so > libkexiv2 (libKF6KExiv2.so) Any code ideas for naming it, given there is already a number suffix, coming from the library that is wrapped? Similar need also for libkomparediff2, where the 2 is referring to diffing 2 things, not a version number. > libkdcraw (libKF6KDcraw.so) I have an old patch locally somehow never finished, will brush up as MR tonight hopefully.

What is in a name... usually some semantics. We could also call random libraries libdsafwef or libPlasmaFoo (while unrelated to Plasma), would that be a good idea? If not, then why not fix any misnaming while we change names anyway. Cheers Friedrich
