Hi ! I would love to see Piklab integrated into the debian or ubuntu file
distribution system, but as Nicolas already said, i don't think that i am the
right person to do it. I am no developer and there are outstanding bugs with
the packaging of piklab, which i am unable to resolve.
Lintian nags about use of "rpath" and the manpages (which are already written)
need to be integrated into the debian rules( if it is not done yet?).
W: piklab:
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab-hex /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib
W: piklab:
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab-prog /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib
W: piklab:
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib
Also the Kde-documentation gets installed into the wrong directory and i can't
find a solution to solve it.
I made the debianising with piklab to get the ball rolling, and it worked so
far and i talked with the upstream maintainer (Nicolas) about another
packager for debian a while ago. Short after that Tom seemed to want to get
this job.
That was fine with me, because i did update my system to Feisty Fawn in the
meantime, which had the newest packages (and hightest dependencys) at that
time. If Tom don't want to maintain the debian package i would suggest to ask
Aurelion Jarno, who is responsible for gputils at debian.
Greetings
Stefan
