Re: Bug#589685: KDE 3's libs removal ping

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Hi, folks.  So what exactly is the current status of kst?  I see that it
has been removed entirely from testing, which is very unfortunate.  Is
someone taking over packaging?

kst2 is also now available, and it even looks like it's packaged for
Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/~stevebenton/+archive/kst2

Can we get this into Debian as well?  Can kst2 just take over the kst
name, seeing as there's not currently a kst package?

Thanks for the info.

jamie.

Yes please!

Maybe but http://kst-plot.kde.org/ makes it clear that 'kst1' and 'kst2' are
not feature-by-feature substitutes.  

Not sure if it worth dealing with /etc/alternatives/ though.

From our notes:

kst: already release kde4 version. Package orphaned and new maintainer is 
working in kde4 version package, will ask for sponsorship soon.

You can take a look at:

That I really don't know.

I would say that if we don't ever intend to support kst 1.0 again, then
there is no longer any need to make a distinction in the name.  kst 2.0
would just be *the* kst package.  We certainly don't need to support
feature-by-feature compliance if we don't ever intend to support the
older version.
