Bug Description

Binary package hint: quassel

I have prepared a version of the package that adds two new binary packages: quassel-qt4 and quassel-client-qt4. These packages are built with pure Qt without kdelibs support, and would be useful for non-KDE users (like me, a GNOME user who prefers Quassel notifications to be displayed via notify-osd).

Admittedly, this requires a double build, and thus a very different debian/rules.

quassel (0.4.1-0ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/copyright:
    - Replaced (C) with the copyright symbol per Lintian warning.
  * debian/control, debian/compat:
    - Don't build-depend on cdbs, but use debhelper 7.
    - Build-depend on chrpath to strip rpath from executables.
    - Add quassel-qt4 and quassel-client-qt4 without kdelibs dependencies.
    - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
  * debian/clean:
    - Move cleanup of generated manpages here.
  * debian/rules:
    - Rewritten for double build to also build -qt4 packages.
    - Strip rpath from executables with chrpath.
  * Added .install and .manpages files for the new -qt4 packages.
  * Added debian/quassel-data.links to link application files to the expected
    directory for -qt4 builds.
  * Added debian/README.source for quilt.

Debdiff.

The current package's "nostrip" quirk is preserved, although I don't understand why the current package has dh_strip explicitly told not to strip executables.

That quirk was accidentally left in for a bit too long, see bug 370440.

As I think we discussed via IRC when you posted this, we need to stay with CDBS due to the KDE magic in kde.mk. If you can update this to the current version and keep CDBS, I think this is a good idea.

  [ Jonathan Thomas ]
  * Minor gramatical fixes in package descriptions throughout
  * Correct all instances of "KDE4" in package descriptions to just be "KDE",
    as there is no longer a need to differentiate.
