Some time ago, I was looking for a simple KDE program to package, and my eye fell on konversation. I can't believe I missed your ITP ( I may have looked before it was filed ). Anyway, Riku just sponsored my package in unstable yesterday. So, as for resolving this: * I agree with you taking over the konversation package, since I'm at fault here, and you seem to know the program better ( I use irssi for irc ;) ) * Maybe we could discuss some of the differences between the two packages: + the manpage: I used a manpage as generated with the kdemangen.pl from kdesdk/scripts ( with some manual tuning ), and as such, it documents far more options of the program than yours ( I suppose it's hand-written ). Not sure which is better though. + the rules file: I think you should read /usr/share/kdelibs4-dev/Packaging.txt about some general things to remember when packaging kde apps. Most importantly, the debianrules and the menu files stuff is pretty important + there is a .menu file present in my package. + otherwise, your package is identical or better, imho, so nice work :) Anyway, I'm sorry about this, I hope we can work this out... cheers domi ( who goes to file an ITP bug on kdebindings immediately... )
