Yes, I started to resemble the git layout in the tarballs, given that I had a pain in the ass of work to do with reverting the git splitting for the 4.6 branch releases. I'll attach them for reference, but those scripts are ugly. I'm not aware of a better solution though, unless we use git submodules or maintain those scripts in the SVN. > Dirk, are instructions available on how > to re-assemble sources back to the original set?

I don't have those available at the moment. I used scripts to reassemble them to original tarballs, but I haven't properly pushed this into KDE git back yet. Can I get the opinion of the other distro packagers as well please? Personally I was much more happy with the previous module-based layout, though I can cope reasonable with the current situation as well. Any other opinon? Eric, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope we can find a solution that suits your needs as well. If all else fails, I'm willing to give maintaining those reassembling-scripts a try, but it is an extra effort, given that the tarballs are much different from how developers build it, so regressions in the build system are likely. Greetings, Dirk
