SUMMARY

kaffeine-2.0.16-2.tar.xz breaks version scheme and is hard for packaging.
I am building for rpmfusion (fedora) and i got this error with our build system.

DEBUG: Unsharing. Flags: 134217728
error: line 2: Illegal char '-' (0x2d) in: Version: 2.0.16-2

Sadly, using https://github.com/KDE/kaffeine/archive/v2.0.16.tar.gz from github doesn't help, because this tarball doesn't include translations!

Is there a chance to re-release a proper tarball with correct version scheme and translation at https://download.kde.org/stable/kaffeine/  , please?

I opted to release a new version: 2.0.17. It will contain some extra features and fixes.

It should probably be arriving tomorrow at the mirrors.

kaffeine-2.0.17 builds and runs fine.
I noticed that the `kaffeine --lastchannel -m` option opens the real minimal dvb window again, which is very useful for using kaffeine with a lirc remote.
Thanks a lot for this fix.
