Hi,

I started a port, but got stuck in RL.  Currently I have some
half-finished version that compiles, but kwallet is disabled and no KDE
libs are used by the result, so I guess it doesn't do something useful.

Hi,

is there any source code I could compile to get KDE5 port of the
syncevolution akonadi plugin?

I'm on Slackware so can't try the Debian package.

Hi,

Thomas, Graham: there is a discussion about a KDE5 port of the
syncevolution akonadi plugin, which currently supports KDE4 only. KDE4
will not be part of the next Debian Stable release (Buster).

I have prepared a syncevolution package which compiles with KDE5.
Kwallet support is disabled for now, but the akonadi backend
is included.

If anybody wants to test this, just reply to this mail. If tests go
well, I will try to finish the KDE5 port. Otherwise I'll disable the
akonadi plugin for Buster.

Regards,
Tino

AFAICS, there is no way to define an optional package in debian/control
which is not built by default, but only if the user enables it.  Build
dependencies (like the TDE headers) are defined globally for the source
package.  So you will need to modify the offical Debian source package
to have a syncevolution-libs-tde package.

In theory, It would work in some way, if the build dependencies are set
correctly in the syncevolution Makefiles.  However, you need recompile
the plugin after ABI changes in the main syncevolution package.

Yes, TDE comes on top of debian as desktop from third party repo.
Sorry for jumping in OT here, I wanted to discuss the above anyway with you.

Preferably I would download debian src package, rebuild and install.
I think the problem were the dependencies so that I have to remove all
syncevolution and install the one compiled with tde plugins and set it on
hold. It would be nice if I could build the plugins as package and install
them on top of debians syncevolution, but I am really not sure if it would
work.
Perhaps it needs more brainstorming.

I think this requires TDE packages in Debian, right?

I asked once if it would be possible to get optional syncevolution-libs-tde
(which would be the TDE - old KDE3). I already forgot what was the plan - I
think it was to use syncevolution source add our (TDE's) debian scripts,
but if it could go into the main source, it would be easier to maintain.

What's the deadline for Buster anyway?

thanks

Hi,

at least I got a bug report in the past to provide a way to install
syncevolution without Gnome, so I intruduced the syncevolution-libs-kde
package.

So if anybody reading this wants to have that package available in
Debian Buster, feel free to send patches.

No. I don't know if the Akonadi backend is really used, so my
motivation to put further effort into it is low.

My suggestion is to simply disable it in the Debian package.

[SyncEvolution] KDE5 support

[Tino Mettler]

Hi Patrick,

the Debian project plans to remove QT4 from the next stable release
(Buster).  This means that the Akonadi backend needs to be ported to
KDE5 so it can be shipped with Buster. Do you have any plans for this?

Tino
