[debian-packaging] Required checks to bring tomahawk to debian

[justin-time]

Hi, the following points have to be checked, before tomahawk will be accepted in debian:

• [] Check the following logos because of licence troubles:
  • "I'm assuming the GMail, itunes, echonest, beats, soundcloud, spotify
    and maybe playdar logos are not under a free license."
• Check all third-party files and replace them with debian package, if neccessary:
  • "I would suggest removing the whole thirdparty/ directory (using Files-Excluded in debian/copyright and repacksuffix in debian/watch) and packaging each dependency separately.
    Same goes for the other embedded copies in these files, some of them are already packaged, others are not. This would be best done upstream but generally upstreams are hostile to removing embedded code copies so it might not be wise to ask about this."
  • • data/www/js/html5shim.js
    • data/www/css/font-awesome.css
    • data/www/css/bootstrap.css
    • data/www/css/animate.css
    • data/js/cryptojs/
    • data/js/cryptojs-core.js
    • data/fonts/

Ok, after checking following things has do be done:

• miniupnpc replacement → Remove miniupnpc from tree and use external one #371
• using external fonts
• using external cryptojs
• remove Html5shim.js

I hope we can work together to make tomahawk "debian ready".

First of all I need to know, which of the following third-party files are necessary for the linux build:

• kdsingleapplicationguard
• libportfwd
• libqnetwm
• qt-certificate-addon
• qxt → Is it possible to replace it with: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libqxt-dev ?
• SPMediaKeyTap → only for mac?

For this files there exist debian packages:

• data/js/cryptojs/ → https://packages.debian.org/sid/libjs-cryptojs
• data/fonts/ → https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-roboto

Awesome, I was going to ask you to create a bug report for this.

As I said, a lot of those things are on my radar anyway, but it's hard to find time to fix things that are "working".

qxt is dead upstream, so at least that item seems to be obsolete.

Not sure how much sense it makes to still put any effort in this... the UX is pretty poor with the resolver server being down and everything :(

So without any further work on Tomahawk itself, you really need to know what you are doing to use it...
