[Bug 1659934] [NEW] Port to Qt5/KF5 or remove from zesty archive (please now remove)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Rik Mills (rikmills):

This package is currently KDE4 based, and depends on the KDE library:

libkcddb4 (>= 4:4.3.4)

and

libkcompactdisc4 (>= 4:4.8.80)

libkcddb4 is replaced by libkf5cddb5 in KDE applications 16.12 now in
zesty proposed, and cannot migrate while sources such as this that
depend on the old version remain.

libkf5cddb5 will be required by upcoming release of KF5 port of K3B
which is the default and seeded cd/dvd burner app in kubuntu.

libkf5compactdisc5 likewise replaces libkcompactdisc4, and
libkcompactdisc4 is also broken by any new libkf5cddb5.

This also blocks The KF5 audiocd-kio now in -proposed, which is required
for Dolphin (KDE/kubuntu) file manager to support CD extraction and
format conversions without the need for stand-alone tools such as Audex.

See: http://jriddell.org/2017/02/11/plasma-sprint-legacy-media-support-
in-kde-applications/

I tested the Dolphin support for Jonathan after that sprint to confirm.

debian have not yet dealt with this issue as in unstable they are still
on the older KDE applications 16.08.

Audex is not a upstream supported KDE application, and the KDE libraries
it depends on will now be unsupported.

some efforts to make an upstream KF port, but it there has been no
activity/commits for 5 months or more.


Reverse depends: none
Source and binaries
Release: zesty

** Affects: audex (Ubuntu)
