> The reason is quite simple - kdelibs can not depend on kdelibs/experimental yes, and that is my point of contention. the reason for kdelibs/experimental is to use the libraries as internal, non-public dependencies to allow them to be tested in real world scenarios before entering 'real world' usage as full fledged members of kdelibs. whoever it was that decided that kdelibs/experimental should be packaged separately and treated as "can't be used as a dependency" made a mistake. unfortunately i was too busy with other things to notice and correct this mistake in time for 4.7. doesn't mean we have to keep perpetuating it, however. - Aaron J. ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
