[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Updating owncloud-client to 2.1.0

Hi,

mmh i just stated to package it myself and also uploaded it.

"uscan" is enough the compression is select automatically.

that is okay but please also add --signed-tag, becuase upstream also has a 
signed tar.xz.

:D

Well you should see, the same in my uploaded changes - Did you do something 
different?

The trick is to create a first patch to d/chagelog via dch -v <version>-0 and 
than add this one. After that if you use gbp dch -a only change to that patch 
are added. generally gbp dch -a only adds patches till the last time d/
changelog was touched.

With 2.1.0 we also can now also build dolphin plugin *YEAH*, so a new binary 
package is added so the version must go through NEW before entering unstable. 
But if it is important to have a fast version for you we can push the dolphin-
plugin to the -2 version, so that -1 can enter unstable directly.

But what is missing for sure from my side:
* update d/copyright - lintian complains already befause of missing files
* test the package on my own laptop

Sorry, that we both came to same idea to update the package at the same day - 
But I was already in the state to click the push when I saw you email. Maybe 
send a shot notice before you start investing time. I will also try to send 
you a notice next time... 

Regards,

sandro
