kajongg – early segfault within Kubuntu 16.10

[Wolfgang Rohdewald]

kajongg does not work at all with Ubuntu 16.10, see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370998
and the pyqt mailing list as of today.

I just committed a workaround as described in the kde bug report.
Please consider repackaging kajongg with that workaround.

Since kubuntu still comes with the deprecated KDE 16.04 apps,
I also committed the fix to the branch Applications/16.04

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

What is wrong with KMahjongg based on Plasma-5 and Qt-5 ?

Apart from a packaging- bug #1634250

Qt-4 and KDE-4 are not developed any further.

The Kubuntu-Team should (to my mind) consider to request removal from archive of such duplicates.

[Wolfgang Rohdewald (wolfgang-rohdewald)]

This is not about KMahjongg but kajongg. Big difference. A very different game and a very different implementation.

kajongg is a pure Python application.
There are no Python bindings for KDE Frameworks 5 except for some experimentation.

kajongg (always identical source code) can run with qt5, it can run with python3, and it can run without KDE bindings (not all combinations are possible). But without KDE bindings it does not behave like a KDE application in all aspects.

So if KDE bindings are wanted (and they are wanted), kajongg needs a working pykde.

I have no idea what you mean with duplicates - if that is something about KMahjongg, I do not even want to know.
