Thanks, indeed some CMake files were removed from your sources. I'm
trying to understand if this patch is still really needed.

In the meantime, I have another issue, it seems that in the current
build process of the package, the translations that previously were
built in /usr/share/owncloud-client/i18n are no longer built.

Did your translation system change?
