Bug#1007123: ITP: keyman/15.0.211-2 -- Type in your language with Keyman for Linux (consolidated source package)

[Eberhard Beilharz <eb1@sil.org>]

    Package: wnpp
    Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm not sure what the process is - someone suggested I should submit a ITP bug for the consolidated source package.

Here's the deal: 

Up until now the upstream Keyman project (https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman) created three source packages from one git repo:

• keyman-config that build the binary packages keyman and python3-keyman-config
• ibus-keyman that build the binary package ibus-keyman
• keyman-keyboardprocessor that build the binary packages libkmnkbp-dev and libkmnkbp0-0

(it also created three additional source packages for the older KMFL (kmflcomp, libkmfl, and ibus-kmfl), but those are no longer actively developed and won't be included in future releases)

Starting with Keyman 15 the three source packages got consolidate into one source package named keyman that builds the binary packages listed above.

I'm not sure if this is considered a new package that needs to go through the entire workflow for a new package, or if that's simply considered the successor of the three older source packages. Please advice.

Anyways, I uploaded the new source package to mentors.debian.net.

    * Package name : keyman
    Version : 15.0.211-2
    Upstream Author : Keyman team <support@keyman.com>

    It builds those binary packages:
    
    keyman - Type in your language with Keyman for Linux
    python3-keyman-config - Keyman for Linux configuration
    libkmnkbp-dev - Development files for Keyman keyboard processing
    library
    libkmnkbp0-0 - Keyman keyboard processing library

    keyman (15.0.211-2) experimental; urgency=medium
    .
    * Consolidate source packages
    * New upstream release
    * Re-release to Debian
    
    Thanks,
