pkg-kde-tools

This project provides tools and scripts to assist in packaging KDE software for Debian-based systems. It addresses tasks such as generating symbol files, managing build dependencies, and handling KDE-specific packaging requirements. It is primarily used by developers and maintainers working on KDE packaging workflows.

Architecture

The project consists of tools and scripts for managing KDE-related packaging tasks. It uses CMake for build configuration and Perl as the primary scripting language. The architecture includes a set of Perl scripts, CMake modules, and auxiliary files organized for KDE packaging workflows. Key components include:

• Perl Scripts: Located at the root directory, these scripts handle tasks like symbol generation, dependency management, and copyright updates.
• CMake Modules: Found in the cmake directory, these define build and installation rules, including manual page generation and library installation.
• Data Files: Stored in qt-kde-team, makefiles, and other directories, these provide templates and configurations for packaging.
• Manual Pages: Generated from POD files using pod2man and installed into the appropriate directory.

CMake ensures dependencies like PerlLibs and pod2man are available. Installation paths for binaries, libraries, and documentation are configurable via CMake options.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Interested-Deving-1896/pkg-kde-tools.git
cd pkg-kde-tools

Usage

Configuration

CI

The repository uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration. The following workflows are defined:

1. build.yml:

   • Runs the CMake build process to ensure the project compiles successfully.
   • Validates the presence of required Perl dependencies and tools like pod2man.
   • No secrets are required.

2. test.yml:

   • Executes tests unless explicitly disabled via the DISABLE_TESTS option in the CMake configuration.
   • Ensures the integrity of the project's functionality.
   • No secrets are required.

3. lint.yml:

   • Checks for code style and formatting issues in the repository.
   • Targets Perl scripts and CMake files.
   • No secrets are required.

All workflows are triggered on push and pull_request events.
