[Bug 89591] Re: Please package Amarok Rio Karma support (--with-libkarma)

[RJT]

Ah, thanks for taking a look Andrew. I clearly should have been a little
more explicit about what is required. I can't help thinking that
writing-up a spec for this change would be a little bureaucratic!

As you say, the --with-libkarma configuration flag is required. Three
new files will be compiled so those will need to be added to the
debian.install file. They are:

* /usr/lib/kde3/libamarok_riokarma-mediadevice.la
* /usr/lib/kde3/libamarok_riokarma-mediadevice.so
* /usr/share/services/amarok_riokarma-mediadevice.desktop

Finally, the libkarma0 package is required and libkarma-dev is a build
requirement. I don't think the karma-tools package is required.

Additionally, OMFS is required - the kernel module to support the Karma
file system. I don't think this is a package at the moment. See http
://linux-karma.sourceforge.net/rio-usb.html.

I've managed to get my Karma auto-mounting by using the settings files
listed here, although in Feisty there's no need to manually create the
mount-point:

devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00258.html

I guess it'd be handy to suggest to the HAL package maintainer that
these settings files be added to the package, but I'm a bit loathe to
try after the reception of this bug!
