Upstream needs to fix a few things first. It would be nice if he could create a
proper tar.gz file, but is not all that necessary. A big thing that needs to be
fixed is his licensing. His copy file expresses GPL v3 or newer, which luckily
we can work with now since his package links to KDE libs. However, his
Copyright headers all have issues. Here is just a quick print out of the issues
I found running 'licensecheck' on the source:

================================================
Definitely needs to update his headers and his copyright year. I don't
see how it is possible to be Copyrighted in 2005, when the GPL isn't
even a year old yet :) If you can, I would recommend you pass this on
to the upstream developer. Thank you!
