Hello!

In KDE:Backports and openSUSE:Factory, there is the (almost) latest version of KMyMoney available but there is no kmm_kbanking plugin. Is there a specific reason for this like license issues?

Not as far as I know. I guess we were not aware of this plugin

...

BTW, there seems to be a OBS project providing the plugin: home:NicoK:banking

Nico, would you be interested in maintaining this plugin in KDE:Community?

Hi Nico

I'm afraid your message didn't reach me until now.

Maintaining a package in Community is much the same as anywhere else but you have direct access to the package instead of going via submitrequest.

* Be a quality packager, fix problems in your packages reported by rpmlint * Keep your packages up to date ** Monitor upstream for security problems or critical bug fixes ** Write good .changes entries * Respond to bug reports concerning your packages * Communicate if you are no longer able to maintain a package, don't just disappear

That's not too heavy, is it?

sounds fair ;) should I send submitrequests with my new packages? I basically need all packages inside home:NicoK:banking - some words about them: - kmymoney (some changes including added static libraries which the kmm_kbanking plugin needs in order to compile - submitrequest 25679 covers that, but this goes to KDE:Backports and I just saw that your repositories are not using this - how do you handle this? I suppose linking the package would be a solution...) - libraries including aqbanking, gwenhywfar and ktoblzcheck - I've taken some of them from openSUSE:Factory, updated them and adapted the package (partly merged with the packages from packman). I could try pushing the updates upstream though and just use linked packages which is probably a good idea... - libchipcard4 linked from security:chipcard - qbankmanager - a lighweight aqbanking gui taken from packman packages Nico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
