Binary package hint: kstars
Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
(updated today, 04/11/2009)
Package kstars 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1
Distributed package, while depending on indi, does not provides support for telescope mounts (menu not present). This is particularly bad for me since I'm involved with a local observatory and we're in the process of migrating from a windows based telescope control facility to a linux based one.
kstars in 8.10 did provide us needed functionality, so this problem looks like a regression to me.
I've tried recompiling kstars from source, removing dep from indi and adding libindi-dev, and it seems to work. |
Problem: indi 0.5 had a monolithic source package, indi 0.6 is split into multiple packages (see [1]). When indi 0.6's source was introduced, 0.5 didn't get removed, nor did 0.6 get promoted to main, nor did kdeedu drop the dep on indi 0.5
[1] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=90275&package_id=94852
Course of action:
1. testbuild kdeedu with modified build-deps (remove libsbigudrv-dev, add libindi-dev)
2. promote whatever is necessary to build kdeedu with indi support to main (no new MIR should be necessary since all those packages are just split versions of 0.5, which already went through the MI process)
3. file a removal request for old indi package in main
4. upload kdeedu with changed build-deps and kstarts without static dep on indi (shlibs should catch the dep on libindi0, otherwise this has to be done manually of course)
