Hi,

your package FTBFS everywhere:
| -- Found QJson: /usr/lib/libqjson.so
| CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:70 (MESSAGE):
|   Could NOT find QCA2 (missing: QCA2_LIBRARIES QCA2_INCLUDE_DIR)
| Call Stack (most recent call first):
|   /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindQCA2.cmake:44 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
|   CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package)

| -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
| make: *** [obj-x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu/CMakeCache.txt] Error 1

Missing B-D?

The QCA2 package should be pulled in as a dependency of libqoauth-dev.
This has been fixed in 1.0-2, which was uploaded yesterday.

Hi Noah,

Noah Meyerhans <noahm@debian.org> (08/07/2010):

AFAICT, if you're going to use something, you must B-D on it,
period. Relying on something else's pulling it can only lead to random
(depending on when dependencies are going to be added or removed)
FTBFSes, which can cause headaches to the release or security teams.

IIRC that's what's being the first “4. Autobuilding” item in [1],
though you may want to check with the release team.

If there is a bug in choqok it is that it explicitly checks for the
presence of qca at build time.  It doesn't use it directly at all except
through libqoauth.
