Package: pkg-kde-tools (0.19.0)

various packaging tools and scripts for KDE Applications

This package contains a variety of packaging tools and build scripts that may be very useful when packaging KDE applications. Even if you are a maintainer of a very small KDE application, this package should be worthwhile checking out.

Main highlights:

 - recommended build flags for building packages based on the KDE Platform;
 - debhelper build system (--buildsystem=kde) and dh addon (--with kde) for
   building packages based on the KDE Platform;
 - dh_sameversiondep for generating a dependency that is versioned the same
   way as a dependency (coming from the same source) of another reference
   package.
 - dh_movelibkdeinit for moving libkdeinit4_*.so libraries to private
   location;
 - dh_sodeps (and sodeps dh addon) for generating so:Depends substvar for -dev
   packages based to which local packages lib*.so symlinks point to;
 - dh_qmlcdeps (and qmlcdeps dh addon) for generating qmlc:Depends substvar
   for packages shipping QML cache files.
 - pkgkde-symbolshelper tool for efficient management of C and C++ symbol
   files;
 - pkgkde-debs2symbols tool for generating symbol files and symbol file
   patches from pre-built binaries in the deb packages;
 - pkgkde-getbuildlogs tool for downloading build logs for the specified
   package (from buildd.debian.org);
 - pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest tool for overriding Breaks of the
   kde-sc-dev-latest package;
 - pkgkde-vcs tool for performing common tasks when packaging under VCS.
 - pkgkde-getqmldepdends create a list of QML dependencies.

NOTE: since this package is cumulative, it does not depend on the packages it provides helpers for. I.e. you still need to explicitly build depend on debhelper in your packages.
