QT is in main...always has been. however GPL'd binaries built against it are illegal to distribute. KDE will say it's implied, Debian stance on it is that's not enough. Either way, KDE *IS* in main currently. There is no way in hell KDE will ever go into potato. potato is stable, out the door, we are not going to introduce kde + qt updates to the mix just to have a place to put the binaries. KDE is *not* stable enough to be in potato, nuff said. The whole point of calling it stable enough for a stable release is being comfortable enough to say..ok, I don't have to touch that ever again. We all know that the KDE2 packages I have built for potato are not at that stage. The hope is that the KDE2 packages in sid will be by the time woody is released. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
