The latest SVN revision (SVN has been deprecated by upstream for sources for several years) is not released; the last qimageblitz release upstream was in 2010, and there has never been an actual Qt5-based release from the KDE community. Judging from the repo description, it was intended to be an interim library in 2009, and it's one that has terribly outlived its purpose. Any Qt5-based applicating using this has been betting on unreleased software for years now. If anything, this indicates that there's no desire to actually maintain it anywhere and consumers aren't willing to maintain or fork or package. Please don't set MAINTAINER to kde@ .. we don't want it. > It is also a part of the collection 'kdesupport', see > https://launchpad.net/kdesupport That was a KDE4-era collection, and is no longer supported upstream. > Followed the advice of Adriaan de Groot > <groot@kde.org> to use PORTVERSION=0.1.0 There are some Linux distro's that have a "qimageblitz 0.1.0", which is their fantasy release number for the-thing-after-0.0.6. It's as good as any; better than PORTEPOCH and an SVN revision as far as I'm concerned.
