Any place I can get the tarballs? The manifests have checksums in them

all the tarballs, suggesting that they're available somewhere.
I think 4.3.95 is KDE SC 4.4 RC2, so they probably hide them until the
official announcement. At least that's how it has happened in the
past. I think distro KDE maintainers have early access so they can
have them ready instantly when the announcement is made.
Last I saw, it should be released publically Friday (today) or
Saturday depending on time zone.
Well, according to upstream's schedule it should have been released 2 days
ago:
http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.4_Release_Schedule#January_20th.2C_2010:_Release_KDE_SC_4.4_RC_2
I'm asking because for two days emerge -u world doesn't really work because
of the failures in fetching.
Today it is finally released. I don't know why it took so long. :)
It's a bit sad though that an open source project keeps secrets... I
found out that the tarballs were available for days now but only for
maintainers of KDE packages of various distros. For example Arch Linux
had RC2 binaries available in its [kde-unstable] repo since Jan 21, but
no one would give a link to the tarballs used to build the sources
because they are "secret".
Am I the only one to find this frustrating (to say the least)?
