* Package name : kdbg Version : 3.0.2 Upstream Contact: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> * URL : https://github.com/j6t/kdbg * License : GPL v2 (only) Programming Lang: C++ Description : graphical debugger interface KDbg had a package in Debian in the past when it was still using Qt4 at a time when Qt4 was on its way out, and so it was removed, see https://tracker.debian.org/news/1056739/removed-255-3-from-unstable/ . KDbg was at version 2.5.5-3 back then. KDbg is using Qt5 by now and it would be great to see the package resurrected for users that need graphical GDB frontend but e.g. cannot pay for a CLion license. Most other big GNU/Linux distros have KDbg packaged today, e.g. see https://repology.org/project/kdbg/versions. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
Hello again! Just a quick note that reviving the Debian package may /not/ need much more than… 1. Dropping the existing patches https://github.com/j6t/kdbg/commit/11c48e4c4aaa9365208a9d2688830e2d5aee308e 2. Updating the package dependencies for Qt 5 and KDE 4 https://github.com/j6t/kdbg/commit/1aa87d26a432b6dffc935f69e5a67c0463a773d7 …on Debian side in practice. At least that made the old 2.5.5-3 packaging build with Git `master`. Pull request https://github.com/j6t/kdbg/pull/37 would be the full picture with more details if interested. Asking regular users to download and install CI-built guerilla Debian packages built by upstream CI is not ideal though, in particular because it teaches users that installing unofficial .deb files by random third parties using sudo is okay and safe, but with my security hat on I'd rather want users to twice twice about that minimum. Any chance we could get flip the live switch on official KDBG Debian packaging? I truly believe it can be a low-cost project, realistically. Anyone? Thanks and best Sebastian
