Description of problem: KDE 4.0 Beta 1 (3.92.0) now needs Strigi >= 0.5.3. A formal 0.5.4 release is probably going to be out shortly. In the meantime, I repackaged 0.5.3 from: http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/kdesupport/single/strigi-0.5.3-src.zip in a standard tarball (the ZIP had everything in a second-level directory (src/strigi-0.5.3)): http://repo.calcforge.org/f8/strigi-0.5.3.tar.bz2 Here's an updated SRPM: http://repo.calcforge.org/f8/strigi-0.5.3-1.fc7.src.rpm Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): strigi-0.5.1-5.fc7
I use to periodically check both http://www.vandenoever.info/software/strigi/ and http://strigi.sf.net/ for latest news about strigi, but none of those mention any new release later than 0.5.1. And I just checked the download page on sourceforge right now, it still has strigi-0.5.1; do you know if the development has moved elsewhere?
Development happens in KDE SVN, but AFAIK releases are still supposed to happen at vandenoever.info (and I believe 0.5.4 is supposed to be up there soon, there was a SVN commit saying "Preparing 0.5.4 release" in any case). There appears to be some miscommunication there with KDE prereleasing the beta to packagers before the version of Strigi required by it is up.
If that's case (and if it is going to impact your KDE 4.0 packaging), I think we should get the source from KDE SVN instead. While I trust you and accept you know much about this package than I do, I don't know anything about the source of the 0.5.3 tarball you provided. PS: Let me know if you're interested in co-maintaining strigi.
The URL I've given comes from the kde-windows folks, I don't think they're out to trojan their users' machines. (That would ruin KDE's reputation really badly. ;-) ) But we can also use something straight out of KDE SVN if you're more comfortable with that.
I've made a build from a snapshot KDE SVN checked out this afternoon. The rpm spec and src.rpm are at ftp://czar.eas.yorku.ca/pub/strigi/strigi.spec and ftp://czar.eas.yorku.ca/pub/strigi/strigi-0.5.4-0.1.svn20070729.src.rpm. Let me know if you're O.K. with it, and I'll then build it for rawhide.
I'm fine with it.
Built (strigi-0.5.4-0.1.svn20070729) successfully in koji.
The official 0.5.4 is now out on the KDE mirrors: http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=unstable/3.92/src/strigi-0.5.4.tar.bz2 It's actually 3 days older than the snapshot you've been using, but I think the best way to proceed is to push this one to all branches.
