Hi, (kubuntu-devel@ CCed for digikam) As you can see in the PPA mentioned above, I managed to get most of the packages building. The following doesn't build yet: * digikam Debian has a newer upstream version than us, but the current Ubuntu package isn't based on Debian, so I haven't tried to merge the whole thing. Either someone (from Kubuntu? :)) manages to merge the Debian changes (better), or we just keep the current version and fix it. * gnome-mousetrap According to Debian bug #655930, there are real incompatibilies between the new opencv and gnome-mousetrap. There is a bug filed upstream. I suggest wait and see if upstream is able to propose a fix soon. * sitplus The FTBFS related to opencv is fixed in Debian version 1.0.1-3. The other FTBFS cause is a bug in bluez, LP #927097. So basically, digikam is still TODO, gnome-mousetrap is the real problem :), and sitplus shouldn't cause any trouble once a fix for bluez is uploaded. If no one shouts, I will therefore push opencv 2.3 into precise tomorrow afternoon (that is Monday afternoon UTC+1), and upload the rebuilds and fixes for the related packages once it's built.
