I'd propose to simply start commiting pages/packages for KDE4 but it would not make really sense when the release is right in front of the door. CMake is quite a strange thing and indeed, many doesn't like it (me too ;-). But on the other hand, I think we cannot close the eyes about KDE4. In the meanwhile it seems ok from stability and performance perspective - and, what seems more important to me, some other (useful) packages has left their KDE3 version behind and are now only developed further on KDE4. Due to the completeness of the BLFS book as it is now, there are many prerequisites of KDE4 allready fullfilled - some others are missing, redland, raptor, rascal or such... But beside that, KDE4 is not much more complicate than KDE3 or X. So lets start... There is a lot of knowledge out there (see blfs-support, there are often questions about KDE4, which shows that some people with xLFS background do KDE4), so I think we should provide a place where all can contribute to. If there would be a page in book, even not totally correct, it could be fixed and brought to a good status. If there is nothing, everyone needs to reinvent the wheel for her own. I'd like to contribute here, but again, it wouldn't make sense just right before a release is planed. So, should I commit the cmake-page now? > > ... > > Sections 35-38: > Multimedia, audio and video utils and CD/DVD tools. Again, Ken has done > quite a bit of work here (thanks again!). K3b probably needs to be > updated, Note that the k3b-1.0.5 is of May, 27 2008 - two and a half year old now. The currect k3b is 2.0.2 which is for KDE4... So, see above.
