Spurred by a comment of Ben's on IRC "see why I rebuild everything every few days?" I decided to clean out KCE and KBE in my jail on dillon.
KBEsed requires KBElibtool. KBElibtool uses /opt/kdebld/bin/sed. This is, naturally, not a tenable position. Can we please leave well enough alone, *especially* in the very fundaments of our build system? Over the past two, three weeks we seem to have regressed from "all the dependencies compile and 13 KDE SVN modules are ok, we still have three showstopper bugs in KDE itself" to "KBE sometimes might compile; the dependencies work most of the time but have tons of random hacks added; if you manage to get to KDE SVN then *it* is actually in good shape, with the same three showstoppers." I think this is distracting us from our primary purpose, which is getting KDE itself to work well on a (narrowly defined, initially) set of Solaris platforms. KDE 4.1 is already at the beta 2 stage and we should be working on it, not on destabilizing the base it builds on and introducing tons of new (optional) dependencies. [ade]
