Improving Debian packaging in Kate

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 10, 2025

Quoting: Improving Debian packaging in Kate - Things that I work on in Debian —

The other day, I noted that the emacs integration with debputy stopped working. After debugging for a while, I realized that emacs no longer sent the didOpen notification that is expected of it, which confused debputy. At this point, I was already several hours into the debugging and I noted there was some discussions on debian-devel about emacs and byte compilation not working. So I figured I would shelve the emacs problem for now.

But I needed an LSP capable editor and with my vi skills leaving much to be desired, I skipped out on vim-youcompleteme. Instead, I pulled out kate, which I had not been using for years. It had LSP support, so it would fine, right?

Well, no. Turns out that debputy LSP support had some assumptions that worked for emacs but not kate. Plus once you start down the rabbit hole, you stumble on things you missed previously.
