Maybe you'll be luckier than I was. Doesn't look to me like you were rejected but instead that the problem was somewhat misunderstood. There is no reason we can't use CPack for Mac and Windows and just leave DEB/RPM packaging up to the distributors. In my experience using CPack however I'm pretty sure we could get the package generators in such a state that they could be used downstream. Maybe it is a pipedream but it would be nice if some of the pre/post install scripts lived in the KDE repository. My main concern and focus really is on Windows/Mac however. I'll probably have more of an opinion about the Linux packaging when we start rolling RPMs and DEBs at Mendeley and I see how feasible the support is. -- Cheers, Mike Arthur _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list Kde-windows@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
