@ngraham Simon is neither "KDE Applications" nor "KDE Games", on top of that it's on the "unmaintained" side.

Porting progress is blocked by MySQL dependency. I cannot test further, because MySQL does not run on my system.

Simon 0.4.80 (alpha) is released: https://blogs.kde.org/2017/04/03/simon-0480-alpha-released

Looks good for me too. Go for it.

Looks good to me! :-)

Fix issues spotted by Matthias (use desktop-application as component-type and FSFAP as project_license)
upload corrected diff, sorry screwed it up :(
add X-AppStream-Ignore=true to simond, afaras, ksimond, sam, scc and sccd desktop files

Hmm, for some weird reason the diff is the same as before...
In order to have the AppStream metadata generator ignore .desktop files that are in /usr/share/applications/ you must add an X-AppStream-Ignore=true field to them (likely to all except for the org.kde.simon.desktop one).
Otherwise, the other .desktop files might show up in software centers as well.

I thought a bit about this and think that only simon itself should be visible in the software centers. The other apps are quite special, mostly packaged together and will most probably not be ported to KF5. Otherwise looks good and please commit.

Are all of them installed into /usr/share/applications? In general, only the apps you want users to see in software centers need a metainfo file.
You can hide apps in /usr/share/applications from AppStream-data processing tools by adding a X-AppStream-Ignore=true field to the .desktop file.

Afaik all desktop files simond, afaras, ksimond, sam, scc and sccd are installed to $KDEDIR/share/applications.
Let Mario decide which apps should users see in software centers

fix issues spotted by Matthias, many thanks

(or alternatively "#undef SPHINX_0_8" ...)

I had the same issue, which is caused by not correctly detecting the API version of sphinx that needs to be used.

Investigating why it is not picking up the opencv build, but more importantly FTBFS

sgclark will work on them ;-)

ran into my first problem when testing simon: the microphone doesn't seem to work (just flat 0%, asks me to adjust my volume - while mic is working fine in other apps).

just a quick note to myself from our IRC session today:

@fux: did some first test, simon's configuration dialog works great for me, also seems very stable. do you want me to comment on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353283 ? (not sure my comment would contribute much as I am running a very different setup here - no julius, centos instead of fedora...)

Nitpick: Use as version for an unreleased software something like 0.4.80 (more of an alpha version number towards 0.5). 0.4.90 might be betas.

also managed to build RPMs now (not tested them yet):

@ltoscano: releaseme.git did the trick for me. for reference (couldn't seem to find these anywhere), I created these two files to create a simon tarball that includes i18n/i10n :
