When trying to build wacomtablet on current Debian stretch/sid, it will fail with the message: ### debian_qt_kde.mk can only be used with packages (originally) maintained by ### Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers, please read /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/qt-kde-team/README ### for more details. Please read /usr/share/doc/pkg-kde-tools/README.Debian for more ### information on how to use pkg-kde-tools with other KDE packages. Furthermore, the previously suggested replacement (/usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/makefiles/1/debhelper/kde.mk) was dropped in pkg-kde-tools 0.7.0. The current best practice seems to either use CDBS or simply not depend on pkg-kde-tools at all. Either solution works quite well, except that the Qt5/KF5 plugin directory is not /usr/lib/<arch triplet>/plugins but /usr/lib/<arch triplet>/qt5/plugins, which causes files to be installed in the wrong place and not being found at runtime. Another package, kcm-fcitx had a similar problem, which was fixed by hardcoding the path: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-ime/kcm-fcitx.git/commit/?id=167141842f65d408bc3df2140dc01d217429aac7 I applied a similar fix to debian/rules, resulting in a working built package. However, this "fix" doesn't seem very clean to me. Perhaps there is a better way to make the cmake scripts use the correct plugin path? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Build wacomtablet on Debian stretch/sid with: dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc Actual Results: The build fails with: ### debian_qt_kde.mk can only be used with packages (originally) maintained by ### Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers, please read /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/qt-kde-team/README ### for more details. Please read /usr/share/doc/pkg-kde-tools/README.Debian for more ### information on how to use pkg-kde-tools with other KDE packages. Removing the line include /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/qt-kde-team/3/debian-qt-kde.mk makes the package build, but plugins are installed into the wrong locations. Expected Results: kde-config-tablet_<version>_amd64.deb is produced, and all files are installed in the correct locations. My "fixed" version of debian/rules is as follows: #!/usr/bin/make -f # -*- makefile -*- # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode. #export DH_VERBOSE=1 export LIB_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) %: dh $@ --with kde override_dh_shlibdeps: dh_shlibdeps -Xplasma_engine_wacomtablet.so -- -dRecommends debian/kde-config-tablet/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/plasma/dataengine/plasma_engine_wacomtablet.so -dDepends override_dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -- \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=$(LIB_INSTALL_DIR) \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR=$(LIB_INSTALL_DIR)/qt5/plugins
Closing this because Debian control files and rpm spec files have been removed from the repository (to avoid clashing with distribution specific build stuff and confusing maintainers)
