I'm by no means an svn2git expert and did not want to impose in the proposal that this is possible in a reasonable timeframe. Re the concerns over how long SVN is going to stay, when will the lifetime of SVN be decided upon? This issue has been touched in the k-c-d discussion on the creation of the kde-wallpapers module, but as far as I can see, nothing definite has been decided.

Apart from printing a notification in the CMake run for kdegames, one could show a standard warning message box that kdegames-data is missing. Note however that the usual method for users to obtain the games is still through packages, where this problem does not exist in the first place. I expect most users who compile the games by hand for the first time had already installed them from packages previously, so they should notice very fast that the error is on their side.
