RFS: kdiff3 - compares and merges 2 or 3 files or directories
Hello! While trying to do something useful for Debian by fixing an RC bug, I needed a graphical diff and merge tool. I found kdiff3 for KDE. I wondered why it is not yet packaged, so it became my first public package. If there's a better graphical diff already in Debian, I'd really like to know (and have kdiff3 sponsored nevertheless). Package name: kdiff3 Version : 0.9.71 URL : http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net License : GPL Description: compares and merges 2 or 3 files or directories KDiff3 compares two or three input files and shows the differences line by line and character by character. It provides an automatic merge facility and an integrated editor for comfortable solving of merge conflicts. KDiff3 allows recursive directory comparison and merging as well. The package lintian and linda clean. Some of the entries in Build-Depends were neccessary to build it with pbuilder. I wonder why. (Just have a look at them and consider sponsoring meanwhile. ;o) ) The package as I'd like to have it uploaded can be found here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eikes/debian/kdiff3/ Another package - as pdebuild built it - is not installable on my system due to dependency problems. dpkg says: "kdiff3 depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4)", but I could not satisfy this with the most recent unstable libc. Ciao, Eike

kbirthday - neither linda nor lintian clean
Hello! I packaged kbirthday, a KDE kicker applet that reminds of birthdays (which it reads from the KDE adressbook). I've got one message from lintian and one from linda - but two different ones. linda tells me: W: kbirthday; Contains shared libraries, but is not in Section: libs or base. Technically, a kicker applet is a shared object. >From users view, it is a (kicker) application. So I'd like to have it in section "kde". Is it ok to disregard this warning? lintian tells me: E: kbirthday: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libkbirthday.so Problem is: The library has no soname version number at all (*), and as far as I understood, there's no shlibs without a soname version. Do I have to beat upstream until he sets such a number? Or is there a possibillity for a valid shlibs file without it? The files can be found here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eikes/debian/kbirthday/ Ciao, Eike (*) $ objdump -p debian/kbirthday/usr/lib/libkbirthday.so | grep SONAME SONAME libkbirthday.so
kbirthday - reminds you of birthdays it reads from KDE addressbook
Hello! As I forgot two birthdays last year, I looked for some program to remember me. Until now, I used kalarm, but I had to tell it all birthdays I had already entered in the KDE addressbook. Kbirthday is a little kicker applet that reminds you of birthdays (and anniversaries). Unlike kalarm, it reads them from your KDE addressbook on it's own. This package realises the ITP (187563) of Ralph Nolden (as he has granted in private email). Package name: kbirthday Version : 0.7.1 URL : http://www.gfai.de/~jaham/projects/kbirthday/kbirthday.html License : GPL Description : reminds you of birthdays it reads from KDE addressbook Kbirthday is a kicker applet that reminds you of birthdays and anniversaries from your KDE addressbook. It uses the KDE addressbook API to access the addressbook data. So you can use your favourite addressbook frontend to manage your friends addresses, birthdays and anniversaries. The package has been built with pbuilder and is lintian and linda clean (thanks to the hint of Matt Zimmerman). The package itself and the files to build it can be found at: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eikes/debian/kbirthday/ I'm looking for someone to sponsor the upload. Ciao, Eike
