koffice 2.x for lucid (main)

[Luka Renko]

Binary package hint: koffice

If we want to get koffice 2.x into Lucid/main, we will need to either ger MIR or drop the following build-deps:

libglew1.5-dev | 1.5.1-4ubuntu1 | lucid/universe | amd64, i386
pstoedit | 3.45-8build1 | lucid/universe | source, amd64, i386
libgmm++-dev | 4.0.0-2 | lucid/universe | all
libspnav-dev | 0.2-0ubuntu1 | lucid/universe | amd64, i386
libopenctl-dev | 0.9.9-0ubuntu1 | lucid/universe | amd64, i386

I can help with the MIRs after I get my network connection back, which should be at 18th of January. Probably we should coordinate this via the devel mailing list?

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Yep. Current package does not build even in ppa (with universe depends), due to missing this patch:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217239

We may just wait for 2.1.1 which is due next week.

I have it building. The current status of packaging scripts though isn't that great. I am looking through the stuff and working on koffice2.1.1 which is due to be released in the next few days. I am always using krita now with the 2.1.1 release. It seems someone else started working in LP on some changes and left it in a confusing state and UNRELEASED.

Also note that a lot of bugs listed at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/koffice can be closed with an upload of 2.1.1. Prior to uploading to Lucid, I think we should test the 30 or so bugs and close them via the changelog. To many stale bugs right now that could have been closed a long time ago.

This is in main now.
