Kdiff3 1.11.4 is not updating the correct display version during the setup installation

[Julius Künzel]

To solve this issue, you should start to use the "kde" pattern in Craft. The pattern has logic to use the correct version for KDE apps instead of the default target.

An example of using the pattern can be found in https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/blob/master/kde/applications/alligator/alligator.py

Even if not ideal, it should work for kdiff3 despite been in  the extragear category and not below kde. (Cleaning up the craft categories is on our to-do list).

For the logic to get the version see https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/blob/master/kde/kde.py#L14

I hope that helps.

BTW for Craft related topics I strongly recommend to join the Craft matrix room https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-craft:kde.org

Cheers,
Julius

> The actual setup for the installer is in a separate repo it currently use the default versioning from craft. That by default is set from the target used to build the install.  Going regenerate the installer manually at the price of possibly unsigned binaries being installed. This seems preferable to what we have now. Then I'll look at the ci generated signed version.
