[Bug 359517] Re: kstars does not support indi

[Harald Sitter]

** Description changed:

+ Problem: indi 0.5 had a monolithic source package, indi 0.6 is split
+ into multiple packages (see [1]). When indi 0.6's source was introduced,
+ 0.5 didn't get removed, nor did 0.6 get promoted to main, nor did kdeedu
+ drop the dep on indi 0.5
+ 
+ [1]
+ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=90275&package_id=94852
+ 
+ Course of action:
+ 1. testbuild kdeedu with modified build-deps (remove libsbigudrv-dev, add libindi-dev)
+ 2. promote whatever is necessary to build kdeedu with indi support to main (no new MIR should be necessary since all those packages are just split versions of 0.5, which already went through the MI process)
+ 3. file a removal request for old indi package in main
+ 4. upload kdeedu with changed build-deps and kstarts without static dep on indi (shlibs should catch the dep on libindi0, otherwise this has to be done manually of course)
+ -----------------
  Binary package hint: kstars
  
  Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
  Release:	9.04
  (updated today, 04/11/2009)
  
  Package kstars 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1
  
  Distributed package, while depending on indi, does not provides support
  for telescope mounts (menu not present). This is particularly bad for me
  since I'm involved with a local observatory and we're in the process of
  migrating from a windows based telescope control facility to a linux
  based one.
  
  kstars in 8.10 did provide us needed functionality, so this problem
  looks like a regression to me.
  
  I've tried recompiling kstars from source, removing dep from indi and
  adding libindi-dev, and it seems to work.
