Ahoy! I am currently updating KAudioCreator in Kubuntu to its KDE 4 versions (mostly because Kubuntu prematurely got rid of KDE 3''s kdemultimedia). For that I''d like some advise, so that Kubuntu does not get out of sync with Debian. Most recent version in Debian: 4:3.5.9 (i.e. what is part of kdemultimedia from KDE 3) Most recent version upstream: 1.2.81 (1.3 beta2) Does everyone agree that this should lead to 5:1.2.81? (beware, should KAC get merged into kdemultimedia again this will also increment the kdemm epoch to 5) regards, Harald

You should first find out if upstream plans/wants to merge kaudiocreator back to kdemultimedia. If no, we can think about it. If yes, imho, kdemm epoch bumping is unacceptable. In my opinion, different epochs all over the place are very inconvenient and irritating when packaging related packages. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas at vainius.eu> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I suppose that makes bumping acceptable? (btw, I completely agree with the statement about different epochs :)) -- Harald Sitter Kubuntu Core Developer http://www.kubuntu.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

But maybe I''m not the right person to ask because if kaudiocreator is no longer (and is not going to be) in official KDE, my interest about it ends right here as I''m not going to maintain it anyway :) However, generally speaking, you don''t have much choice anyway since "fancy ''really''" version number (esp. of already epoched version) makes even less sense. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas at vainius.eu> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
