Do you know if upstream might have made a mistake here or are kmail bugs in Wheezy really unforwardable to upstream? ...or perhaps the above method of reporting the bug for KDE upstream is putting the wrong version? My bug report about a crash in Wheezy's kmail is here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309532 My debian bug report is here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692275 upstream closes this bug as unmaintained and won't look at it. The bts tracker then marks it as fixed upstream. Which I think might cause any kmail bugs, including rather important ones, to fall off the radar. Thanks for your time.Hi, I'm not an official maintainer of the debian packages or kdepim/akonadi libraries and applications with dependencies on such. I will say this. I'm a big fan of KDE. Since KDE4 I've been using iceweasel. Not sure of the status of the kdepim debian package, still appears to be stuck at 4.4.x on all suites. Perhaps someone official would like to comment? Jules.Please look in the mailing list archives. Last official status was, thats its KDEPIM 4.4.x for Wheezy. Debian Qt/KDE developers also shared their reasoning for this decision. I am not aware of any official released KDEPIM 2 packages for Debian in any suite, not even in http://qt-kde.debian.net I think for stable it at least would need to be KDEPIM from KDE SC 4.9.3 as thats there first version search and filters seem to work nicely (most of the time). Possibly even 4.10 to catch further improvements to Nepomuk and how Akonadi accesses it. And then this would need to be tested for quite a while. While I´d really appreciate testing packages for KDEPIM 2 I understand that they add additionally work for maintaining them in parallel. I remember some mentioning of new packages with KDE SC 4.10 and intent to skip 4.9 due to man power reasons here on this list. So please consult archives. AFAIR its all there. Thanks,
I'm sure there is some reasoning from way back, but its pretty obvious to me that kdepim/kmail/akonadi was a fail for squeeze and other distros. However upstream kdepim and kde in general is moving ahead and you mention that they are skipping 4.9 altogether. I'm quite aware of the bugs with this package so I wonder if keeping kdepim down @ 4.4.x everywhere is the best plan, particularly if the problem is that there isn't much to test. My biased against kdepim/akonadi/kmail is based purely on my experience with the squeeze 4.4.7 release. People mention a better experience with wheezy (4.4.11), if kdepim 4.4.x is not good enough for stable (squeeze) I really hope its good enough for wheezy. If upstream kicks it back down with "unsupported" Then maybe debian should do the same. Regards.
