[09:35] <RikMills> santa_: so ka only does xz tarballs now :(
[09:39] <RikMills> I mean is that what you were fixing :)
[13:20] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[19:33] <santa_> good evening,
[19:34] <santa_> RikMills: I didn't have much time yesterday but I have been thinking about sddm
[19:35] <RikMills> evening
[19:35] <santa_> the problem is the debian/watch parsing is quite simplistic and would work only with a certain subset of the packages from the archive
[19:35] <RikMills> also had issue with kdsoap
[19:36] <santa_> so I could try to replace it with another one not 100% exhaustive but a bit better
[19:36] <RikMills> the tar is gz. but ka wanted it to be xz
[19:36] <santa_> also it doesn't work for packages without debian/watch
[19:37] <santa_> I think I can make it work for sddm, but we will see
[19:37] <santa_> I would need a weekend to do that
[19:37] <santa_> impossibru in the middle of the week
[19:37] <RikMills> fair enough
[19:38] <RikMills> https://git.launchpad.net/ka/tree/libka/pkgedit/ka_src_pkg.py?h=2.3#n456
[19:38] <RikMills> ^ xz hard coded
[19:38] <santa_> yes I know
[19:38] <RikMills> ok
[19:42] <santa_> RikMills: where is the kdsoap packaging?
[19:43] <RikMills> https://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/+git/kdsoap
[19:43] <RikMills> mostly the same as Neon, and quite 'ugly'
[19:50] <santa_> ok, the whole thing seems material for ka 2.4
[19:51] <santa_> given the considerable risk of wrecking everything with a new watch parser
[19:52] <RikMills> is a command line switch to make it expect a .gz a possible temp measure?
[19:53] <santa_> and you will break the .xz
[19:54] <santa_> just let me handle that when I have time
[19:55] <santa_> do you have any other package which doesn't work?
[19:55] <RikMills> not recently
[19:56] <santa_> ok, that being said I had a number of small packaging fixes, could you please upload them?
[19:57] <santa_> I'm going to push the proposed changes to git now...
[19:57] <RikMills> ok
[19:58] <santa_> god damn it
[19:58] <santa_> plasma .2 release
[19:58] <santa_> sigh
[19:59] <santa_> ok I will give you the changes tomorrow in git if they are still needed
[20:00] <RikMills> ok
[22:48] <RikMills> plasma 5.18.2 now in backports
