Great!  I didn't realise anyone had planned to do this.  I'll have a
look at your migration results when I get home tonight.

Thanks!

Sure thing.  I tarred up my work and put it on people.debian.org:
file ~smr/convert-to-git-for-salsa.tar.gz

I used svn2git with an authors file, following the "cut over migration" 
described
here: https://salsa.debian.org/help/user/project/import/svn

That document is literally the only thing I know about the process, so I would
not be surprised if I goofed something up.  Also: I would not be at all unhappy
if someone else did the migration and import :-)

-Steve

Having heard nothing, I will go ahead with packaging QtAV.  

I'd really rather do this as a team-maintained package.  Is this something 
that would be suitable for KDE Extras?

Thanks for the heads-up on the change to QtAV.

Question for the KDE maintainers: the RFP for QtAV is fairly old, which makes 
me wonder if there is any issue (technical or legal) that stands in the way of 
packaging it.  ??

Digikam 5.0.0 uploaded

2016-07-10 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hi,

I wanted to make people aware that I have uploaded Digikam 5.0.0 packages to 
Debian earlier today.

I uploaded to experimental for staging for a few reasons:

1. To work through the build issues on various architectures. 

2. The configuration files are in a new location, but digikam does no migration 
[1].  To the user, it appears you are starting from scratch and there is a 
risk of confusion -- the referenced bug is from someone who thought 
(mistakenly) that a migration procedure was required.  The bug also references 
possibly using a KF5 function KConfig::copyTo() to migrate the files, but then 
concludes that some digikam 4 settings cause digikam 5 to crash.  At this 
point, it seems that automatic migration is unsafe but that the initial 
configuration wizard should be augmented with text that describes the upgrade-
from-4.x scenario better.  I'm seeking suggestions on what might be the best 
approach here.

3. The showfoto internationalized docs are missing due to an upstream bug [2].  
 
The bug is now patched upstream; however, the fix re-structures the source 
tarball so it is unclear whether this is easy to port into the current 
version; or better to wait for upstream 5.1.0 source tarball.

Thanks,
-Steve

Sune,

Thank you!  That was a very, very helpful summary.

OK, so it would be appropriate for me to simply close the bug,
noting the workaround is to "quit and re-start digikam".  
Agree?

Thanks,

Re: Bug#810124: digikam: Does not show albums until kbuildsycoca is manually called

2016-01-09 Thread Steve M. Robbins
Hi,

I recently picked up maintenance of digikam and haven't finished ramping up on 
KDE internals...

I received the following bug report.  I haven't noticed this problem myself, 
so it makes me wonder:

1. When, typically, is kbuildsyscoca run?  The man page and google were 
unhelpful so far.

2. Is it true that "other Debian KDE packages" run kbuildsyscocoa4 --
noincremental on installation?

Thanks,
-Steve

Re: Building DigiKam 4.14 with libkgeomanip and other former "extras"

I am aware of 5.x betas.  I hesitate to use them right now because of the 
"beta" status.  The announcement post itself [1] says "This version is for 
testing purposes. It’s not currently advised to use it in production."  

Maybe this is overcautious?  Opinions welcome.


If we do stick with the stable branch, we are probably stuck with it until 
next May [2].  So now the question is: for the "former extras" build-deps -- 
how do we co-exist the KDE4 and KF5 versions?   Can the lib packages be made 
co-installable?  Is there a package naming convention? 

From a quick build of libkface 15.04 (KDE4) and 15.12 (KF5) I can see the 
libraries are named differently (libkface.so / libKF5KFace.so).  This gives me 
hope that at least the libs can remain co-installable.  Additionally, the 
includes are in separate sub-dirs of /usr/include so maybe even the -dev 
packages can be co-installable?

Thoughts / advice?

Thanks,
-Steve

I see your change to svn+ssh://s...@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kde/scripts/svn-
hooks/commit-access-control.cfg.

However, the change didn't get propagated to the copy in the actual hooks 
directory on alioth (/svn/pkg-kde/hooks).   I suspect this was supposed to be 
automatic, but it's possible a manual step was required.

The permissions on files in the hooks directory are a bit odd; most are owned 
by root, but some have different owners.  I suspect someone may have edited 
files directly in the past rather than relying on committing to "pkg-
kde/scripts".  In this specific instance, the file is not writeable by the 
group, which may be why your update was missed:

smr@moszumanska:/svn/pkg-kde/hooks$ ls -l
total 100
-rw-r--r--+ 1 pusling-guest scm_pkg-kde  4584 Nov  9  2014 commit-access-
control.cfg
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 root  scm_pkg-kde 11293 Oct 31  2003 commit-access-
control.pl


I took the liberty of updating the file manually using the filesystem -- so now 
it's owned by me :-( .   However, I did set the group write bit; so hopefully 
can be maintained as normal in future.

After that change, I was able to update digikam.

Thanks for your help!

-Steve
