New upstream release: Kraft 0.40

Thank you for the bug report, and thanks for the deb files too. Marking as wishlist and triaged.

Sorry, FTBS. This upgrade needs google-ctemplate (http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/) for build.
Google-ctemplat is not in our repository.

You can make a package request. go to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages to find out how

Please note that Kraft 0.32 also depends on libctemplate0 and since version 0.32 also on pdftk

Looks like this is in progress, for now. I'll unsubscribe sponsors, and please resubscribe when ready. Thanks!

I packaged Kraft 0.40. Please consider sponsoring it.

Upstream tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/kraft/kraft/0.40/kraft-0.40.tar.bz2

The package looks good (using the latest packaging tools), but there are some lintian warnings:

W: kraft: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/kplant
W: kraft: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/kraft
W: kraft: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/trml2pdf_kraft.sh
E: kraft: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/kplant /usr/lib
E: kraft: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/kraft /usr/lib
E: kraft: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/kraft/libkraftcat.so /usr/lib
W: kraft: script-with-language-extension usr/bin/trml2pdf_kraft.sh

* At least binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath and script-with-language-extension needs to be fixed.
* Please fix the Name in debian/copyright. It's not "Blobby Volley 2". ;)
* Please drop the comment (first line) from debian/watch

Please resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors once these issues are addressed.

Are there any plans to bring this package to Debian?

The binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath warnings are fixed with the latest kde4libs upload.
I'm a bit a bit reluctant to change the name of trml2pdf_kraft.sh as I don't want to break compatibility with upstream.
I have opened an upstream bug report though.

Doh, stupid copy'n'paste :D

Will do.

After packaging the new version I noticed that it's already being worked on in Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/580718
I'll post a link to my package to the Debian bug once I have fixed it.

Ok, let's have this fixed in upstream first.

You could maintain this package in Debian together with the Debian developer and keep the package synced to Ubuntu.

Yep, I'm doing that now.
0.40-1 has been synced to Ubuntu.
