[ubuntu-studio-devel] debian package for Krita

[Ross Gammon]

Hi All,

Krytarik (via Set) pointed me to a Release Team conversation on IRC 
about Krita just before the Yakkety release. Apparently it was Failing 
To Build From Source (FTBFS).

 From memory, it is complicated because krita is moving from one source 
package to another (calligra to somewhere else). Also, the calligra 
package has an epoch in the version (1:2.9.11-0ubuntu2 
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calligra/1:2.9.11-0ubuntu2>), 
which means that it is never automatically synced from Debian. It is 
effectively maintained in Ubuntu.

I think it would be best to get in touch with the Kubuntu Team to find 
out what they know.

Regards,

Ross
