So are these available in a repository as well ? Is the same as
kde:synchrotron-sources.git , because I'd think it obviously doesn't make
sense to have it duplicates in our infrastructure.

As far as the publictransport content in synchrotron-sources repo goes, a
huge number of serviceprovider files are useless in KF5 because,

   1. ​The publictransport applet is not ported yet, WIP.
   2. scripted provider types make use of QtScript, which it turns out was
   deprecated in Qt 5.5 without an outright replacement. So even if a KF5 port
   is released, there will be no support for scripted type service providers. ​


I
​'ll mark some of these above mentioned files for removal or modification
in the coming days. And if I wanted to add new service providers, where
should I push them to ? Is the synchrotron-sources the right place to add
them ?
​


​Cheers,
Harish​
