Hi,So, is libcalendaring actually a REAL fork? Or is it a partial extract of the kdepimlibs that should better be maintained inside kdepimlibs?well actually it is code copy from kdepimlibs and strip out many dependencies. We only update it, when we need new featuers or wanna remove bugs. But we have no code that lives in libcalendering only. The concept is, that everthing goesupstream ( kdepimlibs) and than we port back the parts we need intolibcalendering. We want to get rid of libcalendering, if kdepim will be portedto frameworks. But this will take at least one or two years till this will happen for kdepim [0].
So if this an intermediary malheur, we should get libcalendaring into Debian until this is fixed properly upstream. Important to my supportive disposition on this is, that someone from upstream is actively working on a server-side usable kdepimlibs. If that is the case I can reason with other DDs if the issue of code duplication comes up. For now, I consider libcalendaring as a maintained and minimalized fork of kdepimlibs that is a requirement for getting the server-side part of Kolab (and also the webmailers) into Debian.
My Kolab2 server is getting old, so let's get this thing rocked for Debian jessie!!!
As a prerequisite for packaging it for Debian, libcalendaring and kdepimlibs need to be installable on the same machine. The libkolab(xml) configure scripts should support build switches (--with-kdepimlibs, --with-libcalendaring). I haven't looked closer, so far. Is the parallel installability already given? Is there such a build option for libkolab(xml)?The build/cmake option is available and is called -DUSE_LIBCALENDARING=TRUE Both can be installed at the same machine. the libs from caledering are called: calendaring-kcalcore calendering-* [...] see cmake/modules/FindLibcalendaring.cmake
Great!As a member of Kolab Systems and a Debian Maintainer (IIRC I saw your application and approval(?)), I guess it would be appropriate that you file the ITP and provide the packaging of libcalendaring. I will sponsor the upload and support the ITP if needed in upcoming discussions.
Will that work for you? Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabr...@das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.xfb
