Ubuntu Intrepid+ should include kde4 version of kid3

[Konstantinos Kostarellis]

As (K)Ubuntu 8.10 comes with KDE 4 only, it should include the kde4 version of kid3

http://kid3.sourceforge.net/

At the moment it includes a version 1.0-1ubuntu1 depending on kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.9).
The same version supports build with KDE 4.

The kid3 source archive contains a directory deb-kde4 which is a debian directory to create a package for KDE 4. In the new release 1.1, the files in this directory have been updated to work out of the box with (K)Ubuntu 8.10, there is also a binary package for Ubuntu Intrepid available at http://kid3.sourceforge.net/.

For Jaunty it would be good to have more KDE 4 apps than KDE 3 apps. Being kid3 be able to compile using kde4 libs, this should be considered for a more integrated KDE 4 experience.

@Urs Fleisch. On kid3.sf.net there are "only" binaries packages for the i386 architekture.
@G. Christ. I fully agree. Even though some backports wouldn't hurt !?

I have attached a patch kid3_1.1-2.diff.gz which can be used together with kid3_1.1.orig.tar.gz to create kid3 with KDE 4 and kid3-qt with Qt 4. Moreover, libmp4v2-dev is added to the Build-Depends (this library is part of Ubuntu, but not of Debian), so that Kid3 will support MP4/AAC files.

These files can also be found in the deb directory of the Kid3 subversion repository, so they will be part of the next release.

I have tested the resulting i386 binaries on Ubuntu Jaunty, and they should work fine. Most other distributions like Fedora and OpenSUSE use KDE 4 binaries of Kid3, and the Ubuntu releases which come with KDE 4 should also use them. Could you please fix that before Jaunty is released?

[Götz Christ (g-christ)]

I have uploaded some amd64, i386 binaries to my PPA for kde4 with the patch, thanks Urs Fleisch!

For Karmic we've synced kid3 1.2 from Debian, which is KDE4 by default.
Backports for Kubuntu 9.04 would require a bug being filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/jaunty-backports/+filebug
