Can someone tell me about the current status of kat in Debian? There
were multiple ITPs filed at some point of time

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=309068

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=340616

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328610

Which tells that people are obviously interested in getting it into
Debian. From 309068's bug log, Issac Clerencia was willing to sponsor
its uploads. But then there was no response from the original bug
reporter Jean-Remy Falleri. The link to the uploaded debian packages
http://jr.falleri.free.fr/fichiers/debian/kat is also not working.

Can someone look into this and take appropriate action?

thanks
raju

i co-maintain the package with jonas gennant and isaac is our sponsor.
the current release 0.6.4 is ready and wait in debian subversion
repository (pkg-kde/kde-extras).


Roberto carpuccio, upstream author, will soon release 0.7.0, a complete
re-write of kat.
we are waiting for this release to upload.

cheers,

Fathi

The problem is, that kat is working _only_ with sqlite3 < 3.2.6! Otherwise it will crash!

So we are waiting for 0.7 because this version is an complete rewrite of kat,
and will work with all sqlite versions.

Roberto, the upstream author said that kat 0.7 will be ready on the end of February!

I hope now it's clear why kat is not in debian yet.

Greets,
Jonas

Thanks for the all replies. They were very helpful. I have decided to
wait for the 0.7 version.

The next problem is, that the new kat depends ob clucene.
And clucene has some license problems. Please see #343486
