That's the point. _Some_ others.

Is there any other component in KDE which uses Kopete libraries or DCOP interfaces? And, by the way, updating to Kopete 0.12 will break binary compatibility anyway (at least, libkopete_oscar from 0.12 is not compatible with 0.11). Or do I miss something? > So guess which I prefer. Actually, there is third way to solve the problem - rename Kopete, as it was suggested on April 1st, so it won't conflict with files in kdenetwork. There will be two entries in KDE menu: Kopete and KDE Messenger. Guess, which one will be more popular? :-) -- Oleg Girko, http://www.infoserver.ru/~ol/ _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
