Bug#811432: Krita no longer part of Calligra

[<juichenieder-debbie@yahoo.co.uk>]

Thanks Pino,

A few comments/questions...

root/debian/changelog
This contains only the line for this package, this seems a bit odd to ditch the
changelog from before.  While Krita technically goes in to debian as a new package,
it just replaces the older krita package, and I do not presume that upstream have
started from scratch with krita 3.x.  Of course the old-package's changelogs allias
the entire calligra source package, so a copy-paste not doable, but I would expect
more than just "Initial Release" as this breaks the flow from the previous version.
Just something to document that krita has now split from Calligra and thus has been
repackaged from scratch, so people don't feel so surprised to see an empty changelog.

In NEW, I see that you haven't listed krita as closing this bug.  Would that help
speed up the NEW process as this represents only a package split, rather than an
actually NEW package?

Should the new calligra package reference krita as a suggested package?  Or treat it as
completely separate.

I notice a lot of commented out lines, personally I hate  them in VCS as they
undermine the reason for using a VCS.  If you want to go back and look at old lines,
use git for that, not comments.


I still don't understand what has changed between this version and the previous to
fix the depend requirements, I still see ${misc:Depends} and${shlibs:Depends}, so
won't this hit the same problem as before, or do I miss something with the reason
calligra got removed before... did the new package depends break BC with regards
calligra or something like that?

Best,
Jack
