@Sandro/Kolabsys: to me it feels as if Sune suggestions should be
implemented in libcalendaring (first there) by upstream and not by
some Debianic patch work. Do you see any chance that any coder at
kolabsys could get those namespace changes into libcalendaring?


Please note that libcalendaring's original purpose had been to circumvent needing to provide a (near-)complete KDE stack >= 4.9 to older platforms such as RHEL 5, 6 and UCS (based on Squeeze).

As such, it has always been a very deliberate Frankenstein-baby and we have the intention to burn it at the earliest opportunity.

If the Debian version you are seeking to package this for has KDE >= 4.9 (not unlikely, I reckon), then technically you should have no requirement for libcalendaring / to compile libkolab{,xml} against libcalendaring.

That said, libcalendaring is the "lighter weight" version of what libkolab needs from kdepimlibs. We are not experiencing the same problems with ld / symbols on RPM-based systems where the libcalendaring .so names are .0 and .0.1, while upstream's are .4 and .4.$x, and we're compiling libkolab{,-xml} against kdepimlibs.

Or am I not understanding the problem correctly?

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
