We still require only Qt 4.7 and there is one difference in build system vs. some depending library. Depending library is nicely handled by systems like kdesrc-build. The example kdesrc-buildrc comes with all the pieces already there, so if there is really the need I uncomment a part and let it build.
For cmake on the other hand I have no idea how to install it without reading through the documentation and then I have to adjust all my build scripts to take this custom cmake and I have to remember to remove it again once it's in the distro. > > Beside, we didn't upgrade cmake since more than 2 years... which doesn't mean we have to update to the latest cmake in town. Given that kdelibs is feature frozen anyway I'm personally surprised by the request for an updated cmake (though I don't mind as long as it's in distro packages). > > But ok, I did not seriously propose to require CMake 2.8.10. :-) Cheers Martin
