Hi Activists,
as you might know I am trying to do proper packaging of Calligra Active for
Plasma Active on the OBS of the wonderful Mer project, so everyone can easily
try what there currently is in Calligra Active (no time to get into
development here myself, just providing packaging service, to also gain
experience/feedback as packager on how to improve the Calligra buildsystem).
While Maurice so far has quickly merged any of my stable Calligra release
updates for kde:devel:ux (thanks!), with 2.6.4 as latest now, I have started
to also try to package the 2.7 Betas, with the new productset feature and some
slightly changed packaging. I also started to package libwps/libwpg/libwps, so
the import filter for Wordperfect and MS Works can be build.
>From what I know and see not much has changed between 2.7 and 2.6, so still
much room for ideas and especially implementation :)
Please give that repo a try and see how things work for you. The Wordperfect
filter seems to work fine, but with the Works import filter I get crashes,
still need to find out why that is.
See
https://build.merproject.org/package/show?package=calligra2.7beta&project=home%3Akossebau
and do
zypper ar
http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/kossebau/latest_i586/home:kossebau.repo
zypper up calligra calligra-active
(or similar, cannot remember exactly as I experimented too much, update needs
to be enforced due to package (name) changes)
Running calligraactive from the commandline shows some warning/errors, which
someone of the Calligra Active devs ideally should give a look. You can do
that easily now by using the repo and updating ;)
Next update of the 2.7Beta repo planned with the next Beta or on a fix to the
Works import crashes before.
Cheers
Friedrich
PS: Any hints for better packaging welcome, I am still more a beginner here
