Hi all,
    I'm working on recipes for KDE 4. I installed it successfully on my 
system anyway before submitting Recipes I'm concerned about a few issues 
I found.

The first problem is that KDE 4 is based on cmake. AFAIK at the moment 
only cvs version of Compile supports cmake. Is it ok to to post recipes 
that require cvs versions of Compile ?

KDE 4 also requires a package named "KDE-Support" which is available 
only using svn. Therefore in the Dependencies file I see an entry like 
"KDE-Support 20071115-SVN". Is that ok as well ?
KDE-Support required me to recompile svn since the one shipped with the 
binary package did not support https protocol. I had a similar problem 
with rpm and OpenOffice where I had to recompile rpm beacuse it was not 
able to handle the rpms of OpenOffice.

Finally, I had to build and install some packages (KDE-Libs, KDE-Base-*) 
on the same tree. The problem was that these packages expect that 
certain xml files are in their install dir during the compilation phase. 
Perhaps this could be done by tweaking cmake, but I'm not an expert on this.
Is ok to resolve the former problem with a meta-recipe ?

Regards,
Giambattista
