[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] FTBS owncloud-client

[Sandro Knauß]

Hey,

I've got reponse from the owncloud-client team [1]:

"I would be willing to take patches, but without our explicit support for that 
for the next time.

About the options:
  * a null watcher is no option because we rely on it for the sync 
functioality
  * QFileSystemWatcher is also not a good solution
  * A file watcher implementation for $OS is what we should have. Please 
provide pull requests or patches."

Regards,

sandro
