Description:
Blitz is an interim image effect library that people can use until KDE 4.1 is released. KImageEffect, the old image effect class is being dropped for KDE 4.0 and the replacement, Quasar, won't be ready until KDE 4.1. Blitz gives people something to use in the meantime.
(This is a dependency of kdebase4.)

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2007-09-19 13:10:13 UTC
Looks good, simple and clean.

1 comment:

* move blitztest out of main pkg, it appears to be only an example/test app, not
something required for runtime use.

Address this, and I'll approve.

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2007-09-19 14:07:29 UTC
I've wondered about what to do with that one. Where should I move it to:
* qimageblitz-devel?
* a new qimageblitz-examples (which would contain only one file)?
* just rm it?

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2007-09-19 14:20:24 UTC
Any of those is ok with me... maybe prefer simply removing it for now (perhaps
checking to see what other distros do with it).

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2007-09-19 16:41:27 UTC
Mandriva has 3 packages:
* qimageblitz: contains only blitztest
* %mklibname qimageblitz 4 (they love macros over at Mandriva): contains *.so.*
* %mklibname -d qimageblitz: contains the devel files

OpenSUSE has 2 packages (libqimageblitz and libqimageblitz-devel), they put 
blitztest into libqimageblitz-devel.

Debian and Ubuntu also have 2 packages (libqimageblitz4 and 
libqimageblitz-dev), they also put blitztest into libqimageblitz-dev.

kde-windows has qimageblitz-mingw-20070915-bin.zip (the equivalent of our 
qimageblitz), qimageblitz-mingw-20070915-lib.zip (the equivalent of our 
qimageblitz-devel) and qimageblitz-mingw-20070915-src.zip (the equivalent of 
our SRPM), they put blitztest.exe into -bin (i.e. the runtime package).

So we have:
* the 3-package approach (Mandriva)
* the 2-package approach with blitztest in -devel (openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu)
* the 2-package approach with blitztest in the main package (kde-windows)
all used in the wild already.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2007-09-19 16:43:58 UTC
I'm personally leaning for qimageblitz-examples as the most logical solution, 
it's also consistent with how other libraries are packaged, and it also scales 
if they ever decide to add more examples.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2007-09-19 16:59:49 UTC
worksforme, APPROVED.
