It seems like it might be a really fine software package. I already use Krita regularily and from what I read it has become *a lot* better than 2.3. And then Words seem to have received quite some improvements as other applications and the framework itself. It might finally by a viable alternative to Libre Office for me. I thought about updating / building packages myself, but I think to get up to speed with the current packaging might take quite some time. I have some basic debian packaging experience, but never packaged anything really complex. Anyway, if there is something I could help with in little units of free time (say 30 minutes or a hour), I am glad to help as I manage to take time for it.

So this reason has gone. And now that it's gone, we'll try to get it into shape for release, but you know, doing our best doesn't warrant we'll make it, although I hope so. > > > Beside this, there is and has been some effort put on calligra > > packaging.

In case you want to fiddle in the packaging you may want to know that like all of the work done in Debian, this is also worked publicly. In the calligra case a git repository is hosted in alioth.

We'll think about this, but so far I think testing, in general, is the best thing to do with Calligra.

I will then wait for your announcement and be happy to test it then. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Curious comment, Martin. I also love the idea of to see Calligra growing too. In other hand, you can test Apache OpenOffice as other viable alternative of LibreOffice, or do you can't see this?

Akonadi GroupDAV resource
Hi, The "old" GroupDAV resource doesn't seem to work properly on Debian Wheezy since a recent update of some KDE components to 4.7.4. I was using the old GroupDAV resource to connect to EGroupware but it doesn't work anymore. I know there is a native Akonadi GroupDAV resource but I don't know if it's already packaged in Debian, any information about that ?
